Effective Agentic System Design Techniques
In the previous chapter, we explored the coordinator-worker-delegator (CWD) model, a robust foundation for multi-agent system design that emphasizes cooperation and division of labor. We delved into the three distinct roles – coordinators, workers, and delegators – and discussed the intricate details of their interactions and contributions to effective task distribution.
This chapter begins by establishing the importance of system prompts and focused instructions as the foundation of agent behavior. It then explores the critical concepts of state space representation and environment modeling that agents operate within. The chapter proceeds to examine agent memory architectures and context management strategies, essential for maintaining coherent agent behavior across interactions. Finally, it covers advanced workflow patterns, including sequential and parallel processing approaches for LLM-based agent systems. This chapter...
