Skill Orchestration Patterns
Sequential chains, parallel execution, conditional branching, supervisor pattern, and human-in-the-loop.
Conditional Branching
Conditional branching lets agents dynamically route execution based on intermediate results, choosing different skills or strategies depending on what the data looks like at runtime.
Human-in-the-Loop Checkpoints
Human-in-the-loop checkpoints pause agent execution at critical decision points to get human approval before proceeding with high-stakes or irreversible actions.
Parallel Skill Execution
Running multiple independent skills concurrently using asyncio and LangGraph fan-out patterns dramatically reduces agent latency when tasks have no data dependencies.
Sequential Skill Chains
Sequential skill chains execute tools in strict order where each step’s output feeds directly into the next step’s input, forming the simplest and most predictable orchestration pattern.
The Supervisor Pattern
The supervisor pattern uses a meta-agent to coordinate specialized worker agents, routing tasks to the right expert and aggregating their results into a coherent response.
