Structure multi-agent handoffs

Split work across specialized agents with typed handoff contracts so context survives delegation without ballooning.

advanced~50 minAI EngineersML EngineersLLM App Developers

Steps

  1. 1Give each agent one role, its own system prompt, and a minimal toolset
  2. 2Define handoff payloads as typed objects: goal, constraints, artifacts, done-criteria
  3. 3Pass summaries and pointers between agents, never full transcripts
  4. 4Keep an orchestrator that owns retries and escalation to humans
  5. 5Log which agent produced each artifact for attribution and debugging
  6. 6Load-test worst-case fan-out before enabling parallel subagents

Common Pitfalls

  • ▲Agents debating in circles because ownership is ambiguous
  • ▲Context bloat from forwarding entire conversation histories
