💡 Quick Reference

Common Subagent Patterns

// Delegation Pattern
const mainAgent = new Agent();
const dataAgent = new SubAgent('data-processor');
mainAgent.delegate('process-data', dataAgent);
 
// Pipeline Pattern
const pipeline = new AgentPipeline([
  new ValidationAgent(),
  new TransformAgent(),
  new StorageAgent()
]);
 
// Event-Driven Pattern
const eventAgent = new EventDrivenAgent();
eventAgent.on('data-received', async (data) => {
  // Process asynchronously
});

Best Practices Checklist

✅ Keep subagents focused on single responsibilities
✅ Implement proper error boundaries
✅ Use TypeScript for type safety
✅ Design for horizontal scaling
✅ Monitor subagent health and performance
