Management of structured multi-agent communication, ensuring message flow is inspectable and bounded. Problem addressed: Communication structure between agents. Stabilization: When more than two agents exchange messages, when message ordering matters, or when agents need to share partial results without exposing full state.
Use this profile to understand the building block briefly, place it in the model, and switch to the 360° assessment when needed.
Theoretical construct: explains a term, principle, or mental model.
What organizes, connects, or makes decisions possible.
A coordinator keeps multiple participants aligned on a shared goal, distributes work, and combines results into a coherent flow.
Coordinators grew out of distributed systems and classical process and workflow coordination. The general role has no single author; in agent architectures it names the component that aligns execution steps across agents.
The coordinator tracks the goal and flow state, chooses the next step, assigns responsibility, and handles feedback. This provides visibility, while central coordination can become a bottleneck or failure point.
The coordinator tracks the shared outcome and flow state.
It maps tasks to suitable participants.
It processes results and triggers subsequent steps.
The coordinator role helps design multi-step flows, agent interactions, and clear transfers of responsibility.
