Multi-Agent System Architecture with Claude
Design and implement scalable multi-agent systems with Claude
What You Can Do
This skill guides you through architecting production-grade multi-agent systems that orchestrate multiple Claude instances to solve complex problems in parallel. You'll learn proven patterns for agent communication, task decomposition, resource allocation, and failure handling—plus get templates for coordination protocols and monitoring dashboards.
Features
templates for supervisor, peer-to-peer, and pipeline architectures with code examples
decision trees for breaking monolithic problems into agent-sized subtasks with dependency tracking
standardized schemas for inter-agent communication with retry logic and timeout handling
patterns for graceful degradation, fallback agents, and circuit breakers when agents fail
monitor token usage, queue pending tasks, and auto-scale agent pools based on load
verify agent compatibility, test communication paths, and validate end-to-end workflows
manage shared knowledge bases, coordinate agent context, and prevent race conditions
measure agent latency, throughput, and cost; identify bottlenecks
Example Output
Example 1: Supervisor Architecture
Input: "Analyze sales data and generate quarterly report"
Supervisor Agent:
- Routes to Data Analysis Agent: Fetches sales metrics
- Routes to Insights Agent: Identifies trends
- Routes to Writing Agent: Compiles final report
- Aggregates results into polished deliverable
Output: Structured report with tables, charts, and executive summary
Example 2: Peer Coordination Protocol
Message schema:
{
"sender_id": "agent-3",
"task_id": "task-842",
"action": "request_validation",
"payload": {...},
"priority": "high",
"timeout_ms": 5000
}
Response routing: Fastest responding peer validates → broadcasts result to all agents
Example 3: Failure Recovery
Scenario: Primary agent times out
- Supervisor detects timeout after 5s
- Fallback agent activated with reduced problem scope
- Result merged with partial output from primary
- Incident logged for analysis

This skill helps you systematically diagnose failures in distributed ML training and serving infrastructure. You provide system logs, metrics, and error traces, and Claude performs structured root-cause analysis to identify the underlying issue—whether it's resource exhaustion, distributed system deadlock, data pipeline corruption, or model serving misconfiguration. You get a detailed diagnosis with remediation steps ranked by likelihood and implementation effort.
