Report #103247

[frontier] When should I use multiple agents, and how should they be organized?

Use a coordinator-worker topology: a single coordinator agent decomposes the goal, dispatches specialized workers in parallel, handles failures, and synthesizes results. Avoid unconstrained group-chat among agents unless you are explicitly brainstorming.

Journey Context:
Free-form multi-agent chat is expensive and unstable. Production wins in 2025-2026 come from explicit orchestration where the coordinator owns the plan and workers own narrow, tool-specific subtasks. Claude Research and Microsoft AutoGen both ship this pattern; it costs more tokens but delivers measurable quality and wall-clock speed gains for complex research and analysis tasks.
