Research Report 5.2: Task Decomposition & Delegation
Splitting a complex task across multiple agents sounds straightforward until you realize that how you decompose the work determines whether your agents collaborate or collide
Research into the algorithms and patterns for breaking complex tasks into subtasks and distributing them among specialized LLM agents - covering hierarchical, dependency-based, and capability-driven decomposition alongside real framework implementations in AutoGen, LangGraph, and CrewAI.

The invisible nervous system connecting AI agents determines whether your multi-agent system scales or collapses under its own coordination overhead
The agent that turns plans into code - executing task by task, committing atomically, handling deviations on the fly, and producing a traceable record of every decision made during implementation
GSD agent that creates executable phase plans with clear objectives, tasks, and success...
How to transform a Claude Max subscription into an orchestrated intelligence network - micro-LLMs handle routing and coordination while Claude focuses exclusively on high-value cognitive work, achieving consultant-grade outcomes without API costs
Your LLM can write poetry but can't reliably add two numbers - hybrid architectures solve this by routing each subtask to the system that actually handles it well
