Decomposition & Roles
Why multi-agent
Encoding human workflows as phase sequences lets specialised agents verify intermediate results and reduces the cascading hallucinations that come from naively chaining one model.
Summary
A complex task is decomposed into ordered phases with role-bound agents and gated hand-offs, an assembly line rather than a free-for-all conversation.
