📚 Recap

Recap from Week 3

🤖

Agent = Ownership

Focused, goal-oriented work with continuity

⚡

Skill = Consistency

Standards and patterns enforced

🏆

Agent + Skill = Best

Optimal combination for quality

AI becomes powerful when systematic, not ad-hoc

🤔 Why

Why Multi-Agent?

Real projects are not single-task problems

Software development involves:

  • Analysis & understanding
  • Implementation
  • Testing & validation
  • Code review
  • Security assessment
❌

One agent doing everything

≠ Best outcome

🔄 Concept

What Is Multi-Agent Collaboration?

Multiple agents with:

  • Clear roles
  • Defined boundaries
  • Specific responsibilities

Similar to:

Real development team roles

Agents collaborate via:

  • Shared context
  • Output handoff
  • Sequential processing
Agent Collaboration Flow

👥 Roles

Typical Multi-Agent Roles

🐛
Bug Investigator
Root cause analysis
🧱
Refactor Agent
Architecture & quality
🧪
Test Agent
TDD & coverage
🔐
Security Agent
Vulnerability review
Each agent focuses on one responsibility → Reduces cognitive overload

⚠️ Reality Check

Without Multi-Agent

One AI prompt does everything

Common Problems

  • Overlooked edge cases
  • No proper tests
  • Security review skipped
  • Inconsistent quality

Result

  • Faster short-term
  • Slower long-term
  • More technical debt
