  93. How to Decompose Tasks for Multi-Agent AI Systems

    Task decomposition is the process of breaking a complex goal into smaller subtasks that can be assigned to specialized agents working in parallel or sequence. Most multi-agent guides skip this step entirely, jumping straight to orchestration frameworks. This guide covers the five core decomposition patterns, when each one fits, and the granularity trade-offs that determine whether your agents collaborate or collide.
