Composite Patterns

Guidance for combining patterns without creating brittle systems.

●●●○○ Complexity

Composite patterns are not a single pattern; they are a set of principles for combining patterns safely.

Practical Guidance

  • Start with the simplest backbone; add agency locally.
  • Make artifacts explicit (plans, decisions, tool outputs).
  • Prefer deterministic orchestration where possible; use agents for the parts that need judgment.
