5 Multi-Agent Patterns That Actually Scale
The article discusses five patterns for building scalable multi-agent systems, including the God/Hero split, Planner/Executor separation, token-efficient communication, wave-based dispatch, and the

Why it matters
These patterns provide a practical, battle-tested approach to building scalable multi-agent systems that can run continuously without performance degradation.
Key Points
- 1Use a two-tier system with persistent
- 2 agents and ephemeral
- 3 agents
- 4Separate the orchestrator (planner) from the workers (executors) to keep decision-making fast
- 5Implement a structured, terse communication protocol instead of natural language
- 6Dispatch work in waves rather than real-time coordination to improve scalability and fault tolerance
- 7Maintain a perpetual task queue across different categories to keep agents productive

The article highlights common pitfalls in multi-agent architectures and presents five patterns that have proven effective in the author's experience running a 5-agent system for months. The key patterns include: 1) Separating
