Report #97492

[frontier] My multi-agent system has too much chatter and unclear ownership

Start with a supervisor topology: one coordinator decomposes the task and delegates to non-overlapping specialist subagents, then synthesizes. Respect framework constraints—for example, Claude Agent SDK subagents are one level deep.

Journey Context:
By mid-2026, supervisor is the production default across Claude Agent SDK subagents, LangGraph Supervisor, and OpenAI Agents SDK handoffs. It beats debate on cost \(no 2.5x premium\) and beats swarm on complexity until you genuinely need 50\+ parallel agents. The common error is building a full mesh when a 3-subagent supervisor would do, or nesting supervisors where the framework forbids it.
