Use when designing or analyzing multi-agent architectures — covers core patterns (sequential, hierarchical, parallel, event-driven), anti-patterns, and the five-layer model (Cognition → Context → Interaction → Runtime → Governance) for separating concerns in production-grade agentic systems. NOT for reviewing existing agentic code (use review-methodology) or framework selection (use the frameworks skill).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Agentic Patterns Reference guide for proven agentic architecture patterns and common anti-patterns to avoid. ## Core Patterns | Pattern | Use when | Example | Tradeoffs | |---------|----------|---------|-----------| | **Sequential** | Linear workflow, clear dependencies, predictable stages | Research → Analyze → Draft → Review | Simple coordination; bottlenecks if any agent is slow | | **Hierarchical** | Complex task decomposable into subtasks; central coordination | PM agent delegates to designer / dev / QA | Clear accountability, scales; single point of failure at parent | | **Collaborative** | Diverse perspectives matter; no clear lead | Multiple reviewers collaborating on code review | Rich outputs; needs conflict resolution + consensus | | **Autonomous** | Tasks are fully independent; parallel execution | Multiple monitoring agents checking different services | Max parallelism; no shared learning or coordination | | **Human-in-the-Loop** | High-stakes decisions, regulatory gates, human feedback | Agent drafts report; human approves before sending | Adds latency; ensures safety and quality | …

How to install
mdr add mikeparcewski/wicked-garden/wicked-garden-agentic-agentic-patterns@sha256:05b06bfdf0156b35The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.823dcbc, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
