Multi-Agent Orchestration
A vendor-neutral treatment of multi-agent LLM systems: the supervisor/worker pattern, handoffs versus shared state, pipeline-vs-barrier synchronization for parallel fan-out, a worked cost-multiplication example, and the honest heuristic for when a single stronger model beats a fleet of coordinating agents. Cross-links `mcp-and-subagents` as the concrete Claude Code implementation and `plan-and-loop-modes` for the pipeline and adversarial-verification mechanics.
