# 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.
