It does not\n> teach the API — descend to `[[crewai]]` or `[[agentsop-langgraph]]` for that. Every\n> load-bearing claim carries an inline source tag resolving in\n> `references/R1-source-evidence.md`.\n\n---\n\n## 1. 何时激活 (When to Activate)\n\nActivate when **any** of the following fire:\n\n- The task description contains \"team of agents\", \"researcher + writer + reviewer\",\n  \"manager agent\", \"agents that hand off\", \"split this into roles\", or \"multi-agent\".\n- A coder agent is about to instantiate ≥2 agents (CrewAI `Agent(...)` × N,\n  LangGraph supervisor/swarm, OpenAI Swarm handoffs) and has **not yet** justified\n  why a single agent with tools is insufficient.\n- Someone is choosing between CrewAI `Process.sequential` vs `Process.hierarchical`,\n  or LangGraph supervisor vs swarm vs hierarchical-teams, and wants the *rubric*,\n  not the syntax.\n- A multi-agent system is over budget on tokens/latency and the question is \"can we\n  collapse agents back into one?\".\n\nDo **not** activate for: a single LLM call, a one-shot RAG query, or a fixed\ntool-call pipeline with no role separation. Those are the single-agent baseline\nthis skill defends.\n\n> Mental check: *\"An agent needs agency, otherwise it's just another script.\"*\n> — João Moura, CrewAI founder `[[crewai · §1.3]]`. If you can write the control\n> flow in `if/else`, you do not need multiple agents — you need one agent (or a\n> graph) with explicit edges.\n\n---\n\n## 2. 核心心智模型 (Core Mental Model)\n\n**Most \"multi-agent\" problems are single-agent + tools.** Add agents only when\n*context isolation* or *parallel expertise* genuinely demands it.\n\n> \"Single-agent is right for approximately 80% of cases; the trap is reaching for\n> multi-agent because it sounds more capable.\" `[[crewai · DC-1]]`\n\nTwo — and only two — forces justify a second agent:\n\n1. **Context isolation.** One agent's working context would pollute another's\n   (a critic that must not see its own draft's rationalisations; a tool-heavy\n   sub-task whose 40 intermediate tool calls should not bloat the main thread).\n   Splitting gives each agent a clean, bounded prompt.\n2. **Parallel expertise.** Two *genuinely different* skills run concurrently or in\n   strict sequence (research → write → review), where a single prompt provably\n   cannot hold both jobs without quality collapse `[[crewai · DC-1]]`.\n\nIf neither force is present, **a single agent with the union of tools wins** —\nfewer hops, fewer tokens, no handoff failures. This is the baseline the rubric\nmust beat, not the default to escape.\n\n### The selection rubric (three binary questions)\n\n```\nQ0  Is single-agent + tools enough?\n      (no context-isolation need, no parallel-expertise need)\n        YES → single-agent + tools. STOP. Do not add agents.\n        NO  → ↓\n\nQ1  Do the agents need to KNOW ABOUT EACH OTHER (peer handoff)?\n        NO  → one funnels through a coordinator → SUPERVISOR\n              (or static order → SEQUENTIAL, if order is fixed)\n        YES → ↓\n\nQ2  Must the OUTPUT speak with ONE VOICE / single audit funnel?\n        YES → SUPERVISOR (single user-facing persona, one funnel)\n        NO  → SWARM (dynamic peer handoff, last-active agent remembered)\n\nScaling override: ≥6 specialists that group into teams → HIERARCHICAL\n(supervisor-of-supervisors). Use only for grouping, not for routing.\n```\n\nThe two questions that actually separate the patterns: **(a) can sub-agents know\neach other, (b) is one user-facing voice mandated.** Everything else is tuning\n`[[langgraph · Case 2]]`.\n\n---\n\n## 3. SOP 工作流 (Selection Protocol)\n\nWalk top-down. Each gate can send you *back down* the ladder — collapsing agents\nis as valid an answer as adding them.\n\n### Step 1 · Defend the single-agent baseline first\nAsk Q0. Enumerate the would-be roles. For each, ask: *would merging it into one\nagent's prompt + toolset actually degrade output?* If you cannot point to a\nconcrete failure mode (style drift, missed checklist, context bloat, parallel\nlatency), the honest answer is single-agent + tools. Exit here ~80% of the time\n`[[crewai · DC-1]]`.\n\n### Step 2 · If splitting, decide static vs dynamic routing\n- **Order is fixed and known at design time** (research always precedes write\n  precedes review) → **SEQUENTIAL**. Cheapest, most debuggable, 1× token baseline\n  `[[crewai · §2.3]]`. In CrewAI this is `Process.sequential`; in LangGraph it is\n  static edges A→B→C.\n- **Routing must be decided at runtime** (which specialist handles *this* query) →\n  you need a coordinator or peer handoff → continue to Step 3.\n\n### Step 3 · Coordinator (supervisor) vs peers (swarm)\nAsk Q1 then Q2.\n- Agents that do **not** know each other and funnel through one router →\n  **SUPERVISOR**. Sub-agents are effectively tools the supervisor calls; the\n  supervisor \"translates\" their output back to the user — which is *exactly* why\n  it costs the most tokens `[[langgraph · Step 4]]`.\n- Agents that **do** know each other and **no** single voice is mandated →\n  **SWARM**. Dynamic handoff, last-active agent stays active across turns, no\n  translation step → fewer tokens, slightly higher accuracy on the τ-bench retest\n  `[[langgraph · §SOP Step 4]]`.\n\n### Step 4 · Apply the supervisor-default caveat (read this twice)\nLangChain's *own* benchmark found swarm \"slightly outperformed supervisor across\nall scenarios\" and supervisor \"consistently uses more tokens than swarm\" — yet\nthey **still ship supervisor as the recommended default** `[[langgraph · Step 4]]`.\nWhy the nuance matters:\n- Supervisor is the **safest with third-party / untrusted agents** (single funnel,\n  single audit log, single place to enforce policy) `[[langgraph · Step 4]]`.\n- Swarm is a **bad fit for third-party agents** — peers handing off to peers means\n  no central control point `[[langgraph · Step 4]]`.\n- So: **do not copy \"default = supervisor\" blindly.** If your agents are internal\n  and trusted, swarm is often the better pick the default hides. Pick on the two\n  questions, not on the framework's default.\n\n### Step 5 · Verify the chosen topology can terminate\nAny topology with runtime handoff (swarm, hierarchical, CrewAI delegation) can\nloop. Bound it before shipping — cross-link `[[agentsop-bounded-loop]]`. Concretely:\ndefault `allow_delegation=False` on workers, set per-agent `max_iter`, wrap an\nouter timeout, and bake an explicit exit counter into state rather than trusting\nthe LLM to stop `[[crewai · DC-5]]` `[[agentsop-bounded-loop]]`.\n\n### Step 6 · Reconsider before scaling agents up\n≥6 specialists → group into **HIERARCHICAL teams** purely for *navigability*, not\nto get free routing (see Anti-patterns). At >5 agents CrewAI starts hitting\ncoordination failure `[[crewai · §6.1]]`; that is a signal to group or collapse,\nnot to add more.\n\n---\n\n## 4. 操作模型 (Operation Models)\n\nFormat: **Trigger → Action → Output → Evidence**.\n\n### OP-1 · Defend the single-agent baseline\n- **Trigger**: a task is being described as \"a team of agents\".\n- **Action**: list the proposed roles; for each, name the concrete failure that\n  merging into one agent would cause (style drift / missed checklist / context\n  bloat / required parallelism). No nameable failure ⇒ single agent.\n- **Output**: single-agent + tools, OR a justified list of must-split roles.\n- **Evidence**: `[[crewai · DC-1]]` \"single-agent right for ~80% of cases\".\n\n### OP-2 · Single-vs-multi gate\n- **Trigger**: baseline defended and at least one role has a real split-justifying\n  failure mode.\n- **Action**: confirm the force is *context isolation* or *parallel expertise* —\n  not \"it sounds more capable\". If only the latter, stay single.\n- **Output**: a yes/no on multi-agent with the force named in one sentence.\n- **Evidence**: `[[crewai · §2.2]]`, `[[crewai · DC-1]]`.\n\n### OP-3 · Static-order gate (→ sequential)\n- **Trigger**: multi-agent confirmed; the order of work is fixed at design time.\n- **Action**: choose SEQUENTIAL — list agents in execution order; pass dependencies\n  explicitly (CrewAI `context=[...]`), do not rely on implicit transfer.\n- **Output**: an ordered task list; CrewAI `Process.sequential` or LangGraph static\n  edges.\n- **Evidence**: `[[crewai · §2.3]]` (sequential = 1× tokens, low debug cost).\n\n### OP-4 · Peer-awareness gate (Q1 → supervisor vs swarm branch)\n- **Trigger**: routing must be decided at runtime.\n- **Action**: ask \"do sub-agents know about each other?\" — NO ⇒ supervisor branch;\n  YES ⇒ continue to OP-5.\n- **Output**: chosen branch.\n- **Evidence**: `[[langgraph · Step 4]]` decision tree.\n\n### OP-5 · Single-voice gate (Q2 → supervisor vs swarm)\n- **Trigger**: peers know each other (Q1=YES).\n- **Action**: ask \"must output be one voice / single audit funnel?\" — YES ⇒\n  SUPERVISOR; NO ⇒ SWARM.\n- **Output**: SUPERVISOR or SWARM.\n- **Evidence**: `[[langgraph · Case 2]]` (compliance ⇒ supervisor; UX continuity ⇒ swarm).\n\n### OP-6 · Apply the supervisor-default caveat\n- **Trigger**: supervisor was selected, OR you are about to accept a framework\n  default.\n- **Action**: check trust. Third-party/untrusted agents ⇒ supervisor is correct.\n  Internal/trusted ⇒ re-test whether swarm's lower token cost wins; if so, switch.\n- **Output**: a topology chosen on trust + the two questions, not on the default.\n- **Evidence**: `[[langgraph · Step 4]]` — swarm beats supervisor on bench, yet\n  supervisor remains the shipped default *for third-party safety*.\n\n### OP-7 · Tune-before-switch\n- **Trigger**: chosen topology is over token/latency budget.\n- **Action**: before changing paradigm, apply the published fixes to the *current*\n  one. For supervisor: remove handoff messages, add a forwarding-messages tool,\n  optimise tool naming — LangChain measured \"nearly 50% increase in performance\"\n  `[[langgraph · Step 4]]`. Switch paradigm only if still over budget.\n- **Output**: a tuned topology or a justified migration.\n- **Evidence**: `[[langgraph · Case 2]]`.\n\n### OP-8 · Bound the topology\n- **Trigger**: any runtime-handoff topology before ship.\n- **Action**: `allow_delegation=False` on workers, per-agent `max_iter`, outer\n  timeout, explicit state-based exit counter.\n- **Output**: a topology that provably terminates.\n- **Evidence**: `[[crewai · DC-5]]` (delegation ping-pong), `[[agentsop-bounded-loop]]`.\n\n---\n\n## 5. 困境决策案例 (Dilemma Cases)\n\n### Case 1 · \"Swarm beats supervisor on the benchmark — why ship supervisor?\"\n- **困境**: LangChain's own multi-agent benchmark shows swarm \"slightly\n  outperformed supervisor across all scenarios\" and supervisor \"consistently uses\n  more tokens\" (the telephone-game translation overhead). Yet LangChain's\n  *recommended default* is still supervisor `[[langgraph · Step 4]]`. A coder\n  agent copying the default would leave accuracy and tokens on the table.\n- **约束**:\n  - Want the benchmark's efficiency (swarm).\n  - But may integrate third-party / untrusted agents later.\n  - Need a single auditable funnel for tool calls (compliance).\n- **决策步骤**:\n  1. Read the default's *reason*, not the default. Supervisor wins on **safety with\n     third-party agents** and **single audit funnel** — not on accuracy","tagline":"Cross-framework enhancement overlay for choosing a multi-agent topology BEFORE writing any agent.
