Solution

Many agents. One reliable outcome.Supervisor + handoff orchestration for production portfolios.

One agent works. Two agents talk. Five agents argue forever unless the orchestration is right. We design the orchestration patterns that make multi-agent systems reliable — supervisor for the plan, parallel sub-agents for the read phase, handoffs for graceful recovery — and ship them with the per-step observability that lets you debug across agent boundaries.

Use cases

Where multi-agent pays back

PR review pipelines

Parallel reviewer + security + test-generator agents triggered on every PR; consolidated comment back within 90 seconds.

Content + SEO pipelines

Research → outline → write → review with role-specialised agents.

Document analysis at scale

Splitter → parallel section-readers → integrator. Adversarial documents handled without context blow-up.

Customer ops triage

Classifier (Haiku) → specialist agents per category → handoff back to human or system action.

Methodology

Multi-agent delivery methodology

01

Role decomposition

Identify the specialists. Each agent gets one clear job and one scoped tool registry.

02

Orchestration choice

Supervisor for known workflows. Handoffs for recovery-critical paths. Swarm only for genuinely parallel exploration.

03

Integration trace design

Per-agent trace plus an integration trace that surfaces the handoff context. Otherwise multi-agent debugging is guesswork.

04

Eval at every boundary

Each agent has its own eval set. The integration step has an end-to-end eval. Drift in either is visible.

05

Production rollout

Behind feature flags per agent. Parallel run with the existing manual workflow before cutover. Cost and accuracy compared explicitly.

Security & scalability

Multi-agent security & scale

Per-agent scopes

Each agent gets the minimum tool registry it needs. The reviewer cannot deploy. The deployer cannot read PII.

Bounded fan-out

Parallel sub-agent counts are bounded by configuration, not by the supervisor's imagination.

Cross-agent audit

A single audit trail covers the full workflow even when 5 agents touched it.

Integrations

Multi-agent integration surface

  • Shared MCP servers across all agents in the workflow
  • Queue-based fan-out for high-throughput pipelines
  • GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / custom orchestrators
  • Langfuse for per-agent and integration traces
Business impact

Why multi-agent beats one-big-agent

A single agent loaded with every tool gets worse at every step. Specialists with narrow scopes are more accurate, cheaper, and easier to debug.

PR review pipeline cuts senior-engineer time 4×

Mid-market IT services firm · Ahmedabad · 180 engineers

Problem

Senior engineers were spending 8–12 hours per week each on first-pass PR review across a 6-team monorepo. Junior PRs waited 2+ days for sign-off; velocity stalled; the highest-judgement people were doing the lowest-judgement work.

Solution

A multi-agent CI workflow triggered on every PR open. Three specialist agents run in parallel — a reviewer (Claude Sonnet 4.6) for code-correctness and convention, a security agent for risk patterns, and a test-generator agent for coverage gaps. Outputs are consolidated into a single PR comment within 90 seconds. Humans review the agent's synthesis, not the raw diff.

The Agentic Operating System — workshop build

AIMED · public workshop · ~40 engineers

Problem

Most teams meeting agentic AI for the first time get stuck on one of three blockers: tool design, orchestration choice, and the gap between a working demo and a system that survives Monday morning. The AIMED workshop format compresses the answers into one day of hands-on building.

Solution

A day-long live build of "the Agentic Operating System" — a multi-agent shell with a supervisor (planning, decomposition), handoff agents (parallel reads, sequenced writes), shared tool registry via MCP, and observability wired in from line one. Every attendee leaves with a running shell on their own laptop, the source, and the patterns to extend it.

Multi-agent research synthesis — open PoC for swarm vs supervisor

Public R&D · open-source on GitHub

Problem

Every team building multi-agent systems faces the same orchestration question and answers it from intuition, not measurement. "Supervisor is cleaner" vs "swarm is faster" gets stated as fact in a hundred conference talks without a single side-by-side benchmark anyone can reproduce. This PoC builds and measures both, on a task with a defensible ground truth.

Solution

A reproducible benchmark: same task (synthesise a literature review across 12 papers on a given topic), same model, same MCP tool registry, same eval rubric. Three runners — single-agent (baseline), supervisor pattern, swarm pattern — each scored on factuality, citation accuracy, coverage, and cost. Code + eval data + raw runs all open-sourced.

Claude cyber-eval incidents: the sandbox escape checklist I run before any offensive agent test

On July 30, 2026 Anthropic disclosed three incidents where Claude models reached live production systems during third-party cybersecurity evaluations. The root cause was a harness misconfiguration that left internet access open while prompts claimed there was none. Here is the defense-in-depth checklist I now require before any capture-the-flag or offensive agent eval.

Cursor's agent swarm economics: why frontier planners and cheap workers beat solo GPT bills

Cursor's July 2026 swarm write-up rebuilt SQLite in Rust from the docs and measured planner vs worker spend. Frontier-only GPT-5.5 hit about $10.5k; Opus 4.8 planning with Composer 2.5 workers landed near $1.3k at similar quality. Here is how I translate that into routing rules for production graphs.

MCP 2026-07-28 is live: day-one field notes after the cutover

July 28 shipped. MCP's fifth spec release makes the protocol stateless at the core, hardens OAuth, graduates Tasks and Apps into a versioned extensions framework, and updates Tier 1 SDKs. Here is what I verify in the first 48 hours that the pre-GA checklist could not prove until clients actually moved.

MCP GA is four days out: the final cutover checklist I run before July 28 goes live

The MCP 2026-07-28 final specification publishes July 28. You already did inventory, header security, and handle migration. These four days are cutover discipline: freeze pins, delete sticky sessions only after round-robin passes, confirm cacheScope with two identities, and staff an on-call window for clients still sending Mcp-Session-Id.
