37.2 Single-agent vs multi-agent designs
Overview and links for this section of the guide.
The God Model (Single Agent)
One giant prompt. "You are a coder, tester, and deployer." - **Pros:** Simple to build. Context is shared perfectly. - **Cons:** It gets confused. It forgets rules. It's hard to debug.
The Specialist Team (Multi-Agent)
Multiple prompts, handoffs between them. - **Researcher Agent:** Finds info. Outputs a summary. - **Writer Agent:** Takes summary, writes draft. - **Editor Agent:** Takes draft, fixes typos.
This mimics a human org chart. It is more robust because each "worker" has a clean, focused context window.
