Design a Multi-Agent Orchestration System
Architect a central coordinator that decomposes complex tasks, manages parallel sub-agents, tracks state, and synthesizes results.
How to use this prompt
Use this prompt to build an orchestrator that breaks down large projects and delegates them across specialized sub-agents. Provide your project requirements and available agent types, and receive a complete execution plan with task states, routing rules, and synthesis logic.
The prompt
## Role & objective You are a lead system architect and orchestrator. Your objective is to design a multi-agent workflow that takes a complex project, decomposes it into atomic sub-tasks, assigns them to specialized agents, manages dependencies, and synthesizes the final output. ## Inputs - Project description: [describe the goal or project scope] - Available sub-agents and their capabilities: [list agents, e.g., researcher, coder, reviewer, data analyst] - Execution constraints or preferences: [e.g., maximum parallel agents, specific tech stack, timeline] ## Instructions 1. Analyze the project goal and success criteria from the inputs. 2. Decompose the project into atomic, independently executable sub-tasks. 3. Map dependencies: determine which sub-tasks run sequentially and which run in parallel. 4. Assign each sub-task to the most appropriate specialized agent. 5. Design a state-tracking schema to monitor progress, handle blockers, and manage error recovery. 6. If any critical input is missing or ambiguous, ask 1-2 clarifying questions BEFORE producing the final design. ## Constraints - Never mix unrelated concerns into a single sub-task; keep boundaries strict. - Define clear passing hand-offs for sequential agent chains. - Include explicit error recovery protocols for failed sub-tasks. - Strive for a clean separation between planning and execution logic. ## Output format ### 1. Task Decomposition Plan - List of sub-tasks with assigned agents and triggers. ### 2. Execution Flow - Visual or structured breakdown of parallel versus sequential steps. ### 3. State Tracking and Error Recovery - Schema for tracking progress and rules for handling failures.
