Multi-Agent Orchestration Strategy
Orchestration Patterns
1. Sequential Execution
Pattern: Task A → Task B → Task C → Result
Use Cases
- Multi-phase project planning (discovery → strategy → execution)
- Code review workflows (lint → test → security scan → manual review)
- Deployment pipelines (build → test → deploy → verify)
Implementation
# Orchestrator invokes agents sequentially
result_a = await agent_discovery.find("research-agent").execute(task_a)
result_b = await agent_discovery.find("analysis-agent").execute(task_b, input=result_a)
result_c = await agent_discovery.find("implementation-agent").execute(task_c, input=result_b)
return result_c
2. Parallel Execution
Pattern
┌─ Task A ─┐
Input ──┼─ Task B ─┼─→ Aggregate → Result
└─ Task C ─┘
Use Cases
- Codebase research (3 agents search different aspects in parallel)
- Quality assurance (security scan + code review + performance test)
- Market research (competitor analysis + customer research + trend analysis)
Implementation
# Orchestrator invokes agents in parallel
tasks = [
agent_discovery.find("codebase-locator").execute(task_a),
agent_discovery.find("codebase-analyzer").execute(task_b),
agent_discovery.find("thoughts-locator").execute(task_c)
]
results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks)
return synthesize(results)
3. Conditional Branching
Pattern
Input → Agent A → Decision
├─ [Pass] → Agent B → Result
└─ [Fail] → Agent C → Retry → Agent A
Use Cases
- Bug fixing (analyze → if simple fix → apply, else → deep research)
- Code generation (generate → if tests pass → done, else → refine)
- Deployment (validate → if ready → deploy, else → fix → validate)
Implementation
# Orchestrator makes decisions based on agent results
result_a = await agent_discovery.find("analysis-agent").execute(task_a)
if result_a.confidence > 0.8:
return await agent_discovery.find("implementation-agent").execute(task_b, input=result_a)
else:
research = await agent_discovery.find("research-agent").execute(task_c)
return await agent_discovery.find("analysis-agent").execute(task_a, input=research)
4. Recursive Decomposition
Pattern
Complex Task → Orchestrator → Subtasks
├─ Subtask 1 → Orchestrator → Sub-subtasks
├─ Subtask 2 → Agent → Result
└─ Subtask 3 → Orchestrator → ...
Use Cases
- Feature development (break into components → break into functions)
- Documentation generation (break by module → break by class)
- Testing (break by feature → break by scenario)
Implementation
# Orchestrator recursively decomposes tasks
async def decompose(task):
if task.is_atomic():
agent = agent_discovery.find_by_capability(task.required_capability)
return await agent.execute(task)
else:
subtasks = task.decompose()
results = [await decompose(subtask) for subtask in subtasks]
return task.synthesize(results)

Task Dependencies & Graph Resolution
Dependency Types
- Data Dependency: Task B needs output from Task A
- Resource Dependency: Task B needs resource locked by Task A
- Temporal Dependency: Task B must run after Task A completes
- Capability Dependency: Task B needs agent with capability X
Dependency Resolution Algorithm
class TaskGraph:
def resolve_dependencies(self, task_id):
"""Returns tasks that can execute after task_id completes"""
completed_tasks.add(task_id)
ready_tasks = []
for task in pending_tasks:
if all(dep in completed_tasks for dep in task.dependencies):
ready_tasks.append(task)
pending_tasks.remove(task)
return ready_tasks
def enqueue_ready_tasks(self, ready_tasks):
"""Enqueue tasks based on priority"""
for task in sorted(ready_tasks, key=lambda t: t.priority, reverse=True):
message_bus.publish(task.target_agent, task.to_message())
Load Balancing & Agent Selection
Capability-Based Selection
class AgentDiscovery:
def find_by_capability(self, capability: str, constraints: dict = None):
"""Find agent by capability with optional constraints"""
candidates = self.registry.get(capability, [])
# Filter by constraints (language, domain, specialization)
if constraints:
candidates = [a for a in candidates if a.matches(constraints)]
# Load balance: select least-loaded agent
return min(candidates, key=lambda a: a.current_load())
Agent Health Monitoring
class AgentHealth:
def is_healthy(self, agent_id: str) -> bool:
"""Check if agent is healthy and responsive"""
last_heartbeat = self.get_last_heartbeat(agent_id)
if time.time() - last_heartbeat > 60: # 1 minute timeout
return False
error_rate = self.get_error_rate(agent_id, window=300) # 5 min
return error_rate < 0.05 # <5% errors

Risks & Mitigation
Technical Risks
Risk 1: Distributed System Complexity (HIGH)
Description: Building a distributed system with message bus, agent discovery, and task queues is complex and error-prone.
Impact: Delays, bugs, cost overruns
Probability: 60%
Mitigation
- Use proven technologies (RabbitMQ, Redis, PostgreSQL)
- Follow best practices from docs/MULTI-AGENT-ARCHITECTURE-BEST-PRACTICES.md
- Start with simple use cases, iterate to complex
- Comprehensive testing at every phase (unit + integration + E2E)
- Code reviews by experienced distributed systems engineers
Contingency
- Budget 10% contingency for unexpected issues
- Phase 1 includes 20% buffer time for debugging
- Fallback: Simplify initial implementation, defer advanced features
Risk 2: Performance Bottlenecks (MEDIUM)
Description: System may not meet latency (<5s) or throughput (100 tasks/min) targets.
Impact: Poor user experience, limited scalability
Probability: 40%
Mitigation
- Benchmark early and often (every sprint)
- Design for horizontal scalability (stateless agents)
- Use connection pooling, caching, and async I/O
- Profile and optimize hot paths
- Conduct stress testing before production
Contingency
- Reduce throughput target to 50 tasks/min initially
- Implement job prioritization to ensure critical tasks are fast
- Add more infrastructure resources if needed
Risk 3: Inter-Agent Protocol Breaking Changes (MEDIUM)
Description: Changes to message schema or task queue could break existing agents.
Impact: Agent compatibility issues, rework required
Probability: 30%
Mitigation
- Version all message schemas
- Support multiple protocol versions simultaneously
- Comprehensive integration tests for all agents
- Gradual rollout with backward compatibility
Contingency
- Maintain v1 protocol support indefinitely
- Document migration guide for agents
- Provide automated migration tools
Operational Risks
Risk 4: Test Coverage Insufficient (MEDIUM)
Description: Achieving 80%+ test coverage is time-consuming and may be deprioritized.
Impact: Bugs in production, low confidence in changes
Probability: 40%
Mitigation
- Make test coverage a quality gate (PR cannot merge <80%)
- Allocate dedicated time for testing in each phase
- Use TDD (test-driven development) for new features
- Automate test generation where possible
Contingency
- Reduce coverage target to 70% initially
- Focus on critical path coverage first
- Incrementally increase coverage over time
Risk 5: Monitoring Gaps (LOW)
Description: Observability stack may not capture all critical metrics.
Impact: Inability to diagnose issues, slow incident response
Probability: 20%
Mitigation
- Design monitoring requirements upfront (Phase 3)
- Review metrics with experienced SRE
- Simulate failure scenarios and verify observability
- Gradual rollout to staging before production
Contingency
- Add missing metrics as issues are discovered
- Supplement with manual logging and debugging tools
- Conduct post-mortems to identify blind spots
Business Risks
Risk 6: Market Adoption Lower Than Expected (MEDIUM)
Description: Users may not adopt CODITECT as quickly as projected.
Impact: Lower revenue, ROI delayed
Probability: 30%
Mitigation
- Comprehensive training system (4-6 hour certification)
- Free local-first installation (no barrier to entry)
- Active community building (Discord, forums, content)
- Gather user feedback early and iterate
Contingency
- Focus on high-value enterprise customers (B2B > B2C)
- Offer free trial of cloud features
- Partner with consulting firms for implementation services
Risk 7: Competitor Catches Up (LOW)
Description: Competitors may build similar distributed intelligence frameworks.
Impact: Market differentiation eroded
Probability: 20%
Mitigation
- Move fast: achieve full autonomy before competitors
- Build strong network effects (agent marketplace, community)
- Patent key innovations (distributed intelligence architecture)
- Focus on superior training and user experience
Contingency
- Emphasize unique features (MEMORY-CONTEXT, training system)
- Build strong brand and community loyalty
- Offer superior support and services
