QuestionQ26

Agents and Workflows

You are examining an architectural diagram for a Claude-powered travel-booking system. It depicts a top-level component that interprets user requests and three subordinate components responsible for flights, hotels, and ground transportation. The top-level component routes each request, sequences the subordinate components, and reconciles their outputs into a final itinerary. The diagram also indicates that every subordinate component has its own tool list and its own short conversation history, neither of which is shared with the others. Which architectural pattern does this diagram most closely represent?

Explanation

A manager or supervisor agent coordinates specialized subagents, delegates the relevant parts of a task, sequences their work, and synthesizes their outputs. Separate tool lists and nonshared conversation histories indicate isolated context for each subagent, rather than a shared-context manager pattern or a pipeline that passes the full history between stages. Anthropic’s guidance identifies isolated context and independent workstreams as appropriate uses for subagents.
