An orchestrator dynamically decomposes a task and assigns subtasks to specialized workers, managing the aggregation centrally. Typical conditions for use: Subtasks only become apparent at runtime; Workers handle highly specialized functions. The central trade-off: Highly flexible delegation is gained against significant coordination and integration overhead.
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 orchestrator-workers pattern has a central coordinator split work, delegate it, and combine the returned results.
It grew from distributed work allocation and became a reusable structure for agent workflows.
The orchestrator acts like a dispatcher assigning specialist jobs, checking responses, and assembling the outcome.
The conceptual focus and typical structure of the approach.
Concrete use in a working context.
It helps teams make orchestrator workers decisions explicit, reviewable, and safer in practice.
