A central agent dynamically decides which specialized agent or tool works next. Typical conditions for use: Central control and traceability are essential; Multiple specialists must be coordinated. The central trade-off: Clear operational control is maintained at the cost of a potential coordination bottleneck.
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.
The multi-agent supervisor pattern places specialized agents under a higher-level supervisor that decomposes work, delegates tasks, and combines results.
The pattern grew in multi-agent system architecture to coordinate specialized roles: the supervisor controls flow while delegated agents own focused tasks.
A project lead assigns work packages to specialists, reviews reports, and decides the next step.
The supervisor selects the next step and suitable agent.
A specialized agent handles a bounded role or capability.
Return paths carry results and failures back to the supervisor.
The pattern simplifies complex workflows through focused delegation; handoffs, stop rules, and ownership must remain explicit.
