# Swarm orchestration for autonomous agents Coordinating multiple agents unlocks parallelism and robustness—but only if you architect for it. Here’s a practical blueprint. ## Role clarity - Define roles and competencies; avoid capability overlap. ## Messaging fabric - Use a message bus with typed events; avoid unbounded broadcasts. ## Shared memory - Central knowledge service; explicit TTL and conflict resolution. ## Coordination patterns - MapReduce, planner‑worker, auction/market, and consensus for critical decisions. ## Safety at the edges - Per‑agent budgets and scopes; backoff and circuit breakers on contention. --- Swarm isn’t chaos—it’s choreography. Design the rules so agents can move fast together without stepping on each other.
