Learning roadmap

Multi-Agent Systems

Choose a goal, then follow each stage as an ordered, explained outline.

Learning goal

Learn deeply

Build a durable mental model, then transfer it into a working application.

Architecture

Stage purpose: Establish the vocabulary and first working mental model.

Required background: Complete the linked prerequisites below or bring equivalent experience.

Expected outcome: Explain the core idea and use it in a small example.

Estimated time: 40 minutes

  1. Lesson · Estimated time: 40 minutes

    Multi-Agent Topologies

    Outcomes
    • Choose an appropriate multi-agent topology for a workflow
    • Define handoff, state ownership, reducer, and tool-scope boundaries

    Prerequisites: No prerequisite topics

    Evidence: Practise the outcome in code and record what you learned.

    Current status: Not started

    Recommended next: The Supervisor Orchestrator — Add a supervisor that routes ambiguous work, audits delegation, and owns the system-wide finish condition.

Orchestration

Stage purpose: Connect the concepts into a repeatable problem-solving model.

Required background: Complete the linked prerequisites below or bring equivalent experience.

Expected outcome: Apply the model to a representative exercise without copying a recipe.

Estimated time: 35 minutes

    The Supervisor Orchestrator

    Outcomes
    • Explain when a supervisor is more appropriate than static routing
    • Build a pure, structured supervisor with FINISH and delegation guards

    Prerequisites: Multi-Agent Topologies

    Evidence: Practise the outcome in code and record what you learned.

    Current status: Not started

    Recommended next: Complete this path by applying these outcomes in your own project.
