5-Question Decision Tree — Choose Your Agentic Pattern
Answer these questions in order to find your starting pattern:
Q1: Is the solution path known in advance?
Can you define the full step-by-step process before execution begins? (e.g. invoice processing, onboarding flows)
✓ Yes — path is clear and predictable
✗ No — path emerges from execution
All 5 Patterns — When to Use Each
Sequential
Sequential / Structured Workflow
Fixed, predictable steps. Same process every time. Use LLM only for interpretation/generation — deterministic code handles the rest.
Fast, predictable, cost-efficient
Avoid: ReAct loops where steps are already defined
Breaks on edge cases not in original spec
ReAct
ReAct — Reason, Act, Observe, Repeat
Unknown solution path. Each step depends on prior output. Debugging, research, customer support, alert triage.
Flexible — adapts to new information dynamically
Best default for most real-world tasks
Can loop excessively without clear stopping condition
Planning
Planning + ReAct Execution
Structure is articulable upfront but each step needs adaptive reasoning. Feature builds, research reports, provisioning.
Exposes dependencies early, avoids mid-run surprises
Plans can become outdated — rigid when conditions differ
Reflection
Single Agent + Reflection (Generate → Critique → Refine)
High quality output required. Clear evaluation criteria. Cost of error is high (deployed code, client docs, SQL queries).
Improves correctness beyond first-pass output
Adds latency and cost — skip when speed > quality
Multi-Agent
Multi-Agent Specialist System
Task exceeds one context window, or needs different reasoning styles across stages (legal + financial + coding).
Parallelism, domain expertise per agent
Coordination overhead, shared state complexity, more failure points
Pitfalls
Common Failure Signals
ReAct looping excessively → Needs planning or clearer stop condition

Planning agent abandons plan → Switch to lightweight planning + ReAct

Reflection not improving output → Evaluation criteria unclear; critic too aligned

Multi-agent routing failures → Use deterministic routing for predictable cases
ReAct Pattern — Iterative Reasoning + Action
🔄 How ReAct Works
ReAct alternates between Reason (analyze what to do next), Act (invoke a tool), and Observe (use the result). This loop continues until a stopping condition is met. It does not require knowing the full path upfront — each step is decided based on what was just observed.
react-agent · debug-session
REASON → TypeError in user auth. Check login.ts first
ACT → read_file('src/auth/login.ts')
OBSERVE → ErrorWrapper not imported. Missing import statement
REASON → Need to check ErrorWrapper definition in types.ts
ACT → read_file('src/auth/types.ts')
OBSERVE → ErrorWrapper defined, ErrorCode enum missing
REASON → Add ErrorCode enum and fix import in login.ts
ACT → edit_file, run_tests()
OBSERVE → All 47 tests passing
DONE → Bug resolved in 4 loops
✓ Use when
• Unknown solution path
• Steps depend on prior output
• Debugging, research, customer support
• Alert triage, exploration tasks
• Best default for most real-world tasks
✗ Watch out for
• Excessive looping without progress
• No clear stopping condition
• Using ReAct when path is already known
• Over-calling tools on already-known facts
→ Fix: add hard loop limit (3–5 max)
Planning Pattern — Decompose Before Executing
🗺 How Planning Works
Planning first Analyzes the task, then Decomposes it into ordered subtasks, Sequences dependencies, then Executes with ReAct inside each step. Exposes dependencies early — prevents mid-execution surprises from hidden complexity.
planning-agent · feature-build
ANALYZE → Task: Add user profile feature
DECOMPOSE → 5 subtasks identified
1. Research existing user patterns in codebase
2. Design DB schema (users table extension)
3. Write API endpoints (GET/PATCH /api/users/:id)
4. Build React ProfilePage component
5. Write jest tests (min 85% coverage)
SEQUENCE → 1→2→3→4→5 (linear dependencies)
[Approve] [Edit] [Reject]
EXECUTE → Step 1 starting... (ReAct inside)
Reflection Pattern — Generate → Critique → Refine
🪞 How Reflection Works
After generating output, a critic evaluates it against explicit criteria. If it doesn't meet the bar, it revises. This loop repeats until criteria pass. Key: the critic must be independent from the generator — otherwise it mirrors rather than evaluates.
reflection-agent · code-review
GENERATE → Code review for PR #247 written
CRITIQUE → Evaluating against review criteria...
✗ Missing: security implications of auth change
✗ Missing: test coverage for error paths
✓ Logic correctness: pass
✓ Style guide compliance: pass
REFINE → Adding security and test coverage notes...
CRITIQUE → All 4 criteria pass
DONE → Review posted to PR #247
Multi-Agent — Specialization at Scale
🕸 When Multi-Agent Makes Sense
Only use when: (1) the task exceeds one context window, or (2) different stages require clearly different reasoning styles. The trigger should be a clear bottleneck — not architectural preference. Coordinator routes; specialists execute. Never peer-to-peer.
multi-agent · feature-squad
COORDINATOR → Task: "Add user profile feature" → decomposing

AI-native SDLC — How the Best Teams Are Restructuring Work
Based on insights from Microsoft CVP Tim Bozarth, 1Password CTO Nancy Wang, and Atlassian CTO Taroon Mandhana at DX Annual 2026. Historically 80% of engineering time went to operate. The most effective AI-native teams are inverting that ratio.
Plan
▲ Human
Prototypes replace PRDs. Alignment & decision-making are the bottleneck, not building.
Create
▲ AI
AI is very good at this. Already compressing fast. Squads of 3–4 instead of 8.
Validate
▲ Human
Don't delegate to AI yet. Humans as tastemakers. Craft and judgment matter most.
Deploy
▲ AI
Automated pipelines, headless agents, slash commands. Minimal human in loop.
Operate
▲ AI (fast)
Most untapped potential. Agents respond to alerts, run post-incident reviews, patch vulns.
What's Actually Changing
Atlassian · Taroon Mandhana
Squads of 3–4 people for zero-to-one projects — would have felt too small a year ago. AI compressed the building part enough that the bottleneck is now alignment and decision-making.
Microsoft · Tim Bozarth
8-week cycles with small, mission-specific v-teams. Form around a specific question, give them 8 weeks, then decide: continue, absorb, or stop. Speed of learning over sustained delivery.
1Password · Nancy Wang
Planning horizons compressed from 12–18 months to a single quarter. Stopped writing full-length PRDs — teams build prototypes and put them in front of customers instead.
Non-Engineers Contributing Code
Atlassian · Taroon Mandhana
Designers submitting PRs. Prototyping by non-engineers is a clear unlock. Shipping to production is a different bar. Teams with robust test suites are most comfortable accepting these contributions.
1Password · Nancy Wang
CX associates generating PRs for front-end test coverage. Engineering's role shifted: building testing harnesses and review processes to evaluate contributions — higher leverage work.
Microsoft · Tim Bozarth
Non-engineers using AI to optimize how they work: gathering information, communicating, running workflows. That goes to production in how the business operates — not just in code.
Org Design Insights — AI-native Engineering Organizations
Adoption & Culture
Microsoft · Tim Bozarth
Track daily active AI use across the org. Low adoption in a team is a diagnostic signal — something is blocking them. Go figure out what it is. "We don't set targets for usage itself. The metrics we care about are speed, ease, and quality."
Atlassian · Taroon Mandhana
Organic AI champions in groups of 100–200 engineers. Someone naturally emerges who's excited and starts showing others. Amplifying those wins is far more effective than any top-down mandate.
1Password · Nancy Wang
Built a guild of AI champions. When someone uses AI to pull a launch date forward by two weeks, tell that story publicly. People see the result and want to figure out how to get there themselves.
Skills Profile: Great Engineer in 3–5 Years
Microsoft · Tim Bozarth
Maker's mindset — not attached to a specific tool, oriented toward an objective, driving toward it with whatever is available. Not just writing code faster. Making better decisions about what to build.
1Password · Nancy Wang
Generalists with strong product instincts. Lines between product and engineering are blurring. Span the full SDLC. Don't specialize too early. Operate at a higher level of abstraction.
Atlassian · Taroon Mandhana
Agency is becoming as important as technical depth. The willingness to step up, have the right conversations, make decisions without waiting to be told. When AI compresses building time, the differentiator is who figures out what to build next.
Tech Debt & Code Quality Risks
Atlassian · Taroon Mandhana
Patterns of duplication and tech debt increasing as people quickly produce features. Maintainability is suffering. Prompted a return to standardized approaches and more right-of-code quality checks.
Microsoft · Tim Bozarth
50% of simple vulnerabilities at Atlassian — library version bumps — now resolved using AI. Accessibility bugs getting done faster. Run in the background by central dev infra teams to give time back to engineers.
What Not to Delegate to AI
Don't delegate Validate. Humans still need to be in the loop for important systems. AI is good at creating; not yet at judging correctness.
Don't delegate Security. Use AI for pen testing and red teams to battle-harden — don't trust it to deliver secure products on its own.
Don't mandate AI usage. Top-down mandates are less effective than organic champions and public celebration of wins.
Don't plan beyond 90 days. Anything beyond one quarter is guesswork when tools and capabilities change this fast.

💡 Cost Reduction Playbook
Tactics from 1Password, Atlassian, Microsoft
Model Tiering — Use Sonnet for orchestration, Haiku for retrieval. Cuts cost 60–70% with no quality loss.
Semantic Caching — Cache RERA/GST lookups. Same regulatory query = zero tokens. 35% reduction.
Context Compression — Pass structured summaries between agents, not raw outputs. Stops context inflation.
Loop Limits — Hard ceiling of 3–5 loops per agent. No runaway ReAct spirals.
Negotiate Volume — 1Password: commit to volume with model providers. Significantly reduces per-token cost.
Atlassian · Taroon Mandhana
"I'm on my third budget forecast since January. Token costs are volatile, and the models and pricing are shifting underneath you constantly. We literally started to think about managing it like AWS COGS cost because it requires that level of rigor and sophistication."
1Password · Nancy Wang
Built an internal SaaS cost management tool that maps token spend by repo and project. "Without that visibility, you're flying blind." Maps token spend back to intent — so you know what tokens are actually being spent on. "Treat your AI token bill the same way you'd negotiate a cloud contract."

🔬 Eval Metrics Explained
What each RAGAS metric measures and when to act
📎
Faithfulness
Is the answer grounded in retrieved context? Low score = hallucination risk. Act below 0.85.
🎯
Answer Relevancy
Does the answer address what was actually asked? Low = agent is answering a different question.
🔍
Context Precision
Are retrieved chunks actually relevant? Low = retrieval is pulling noise. Fix: re-rank, better chunking.
📚
Context Recall
Did retrieval find ALL the relevant info? Low = ground truth missing. Fix: corpus coverage, k-nearest.
⚠ Action Needed
Feature Squad context recall dropped to 0.74 — below 0.80 threshold. Retrieval likely missing relevant context. Recommend: increase k from 5→8, add hybrid BM25+vector retrieval.

RERA agent running ≠ load buyer conversation history. Different task = different info need. Retrieved context is task-scoped, not session-global.
Semantic Caching
Same RERA query by different agents = cache hit, zero embedding cost. 67% hit rate saved 840K tokens ($0.63) today. Cached entries expire after 24h for regulatory freshness.

Active Anomalies — AI-detected deviations from baseline behaviour
🔴 Token Spike — Feature Squad Agent
18:42 · 3 min ago
Feature Squad Multi-Agent coordinator consumed 38,112 tokens in the last 15 minutes — 4.2× above baseline of 9,000 tokens. Root cause: subagent-3 (API generator) is looping on schema parsing. Context is inflating with each unsuccessful tool call. Estimated cost overrun: +$0.023/hr if unchecked.
Baseline: 9K tok/15min|Current: 38.1K tok|Loop count: 7/5 (limit exceeded)
🔴 RAGAS Score Drop — Context Recall 0.74
17:58 · 44 min ago
Feature Squad agent context recall dropped from 0.91 baseline to 0.74 — below the 0.80 alert threshold. Retrieval is missing relevant context chunks. Likely cause: corpus staleness or chunking mismatch after recent repo refactor. 3 compliance answers in this window may be incomplete.
🟡 Latency Degradation — p99 at 4.1s
18:31 · 11 min ago
Reflection Agent p99 latency increased from baseline 2.8s to 4.1s. Three consecutive critique cycles running on the same doc-writer output. Critic and generator are too aligned — producing near-identical outputs on each loop. Reflection not converging.

🔀 Routing Logic
Orchestrator uses deterministic routing for known task types (deploy, PR-desc, scaffold). LLM routing only for novel tasks — reduces routing failures and cost.
📡 Communication Protocol
All inter-agent messages are typed structured objects — not raw text. Every handoff is a logged event with timestamp, source, target, payload size, and latency.
🚫 No Peer-to-Peer
Agents never communicate directly with each other. All messages route through the orchestrator. Prevents circular loops, cost spirals, and untracked state mutations.

Why Temporal, not LLM planning
Temporal owns the deterministic spine — known steps, durable execution, retry logic, audit log. LangGraph manages the AI agent topology at unstructured edges. LLM planning is reserved for edge cases — not for every deploy step that is already defined in code.
