Workflow Engineering Patterns
Modern multi-agent workflow patterns that formalize theoretical foundations for coordinating AI systems, task decomposition, and structured collaboration frameworks
About Workflow Engineering
Workflow Engineering represents the cutting edge of multi-agent AI coordination, emerging from 2025 research that formalizes how AI systems work together effectively. These patterns establish theoretical foundations for existing techniques and introduce new paradigms for:
- Systematic task decomposition and delegation
- Inter-agent communication protocols
- State management across distributed AI systems
- Quality assurance and verification patterns
- Error recovery and resilience mechanisms
- Context preservation and knowledge transfer
- Collaborative problem-solving frameworks
Development Status
This category is currently under active development as part of Phase 3 implementation. Seven foundational workflow patterns are being documented and integrated into the taxonomy. Each pattern will include detailed descriptions, implementation guidelines, use cases, and practical examples.
