Masterclass

Agent Coordination
Masterclass.

Building a demo agent is easy. Building one that doesn't break at scale is hard. Learn the coordination patterns, state management, and failure modes that separate production systems from toys.

6 weeks intensive Advanced projects 1:1 architecture review

The gap nobody teaches

What tutorials teach

  • Single agent, single task
  • Happy path execution
  • Synchronous, blocking calls
  • Memory as conversation history
  • "If it works in the notebook, ship it"

What production requires

  • Multi-agent coordination
  • Graceful failure handling
  • Async, parallel execution
  • Structured state + context planes
  • Observability, receipts, rollback

This masterclass closes the gap. You'll learn the patterns that work in production - the ones that come from building real systems, not reading docs.

Curriculum

Week 1-2

Coordination Fundamentals

  • The coordination laws (K-12, G-9, M-7)
  • Agent capability models
  • Message passing vs. shared state
  • Coordination patterns: orchestrator, choreography, blackboard
  • Project: Multi-agent task decomposition
Week 3-4

State + Memory

  • State management architectures
  • Memory vs. context vs. knowledge
  • Bitemporal models for agents
  • State persistence and recovery
  • Project: Stateful agent with rollback
Week 5-6

Production Patterns

  • Failure modes and recovery strategies
  • Observability and debugging agents
  • Rate limiting and resource management
  • Security and capability grants
  • Project: Production-ready agent system
Bonus

1:1 Architecture Review

60-minute call to review your architecture. Bring your own system (work or personal) and get feedback on design decisions, failure modes, and scaling considerations.

What you'll master

Multi-Agent

Coordination Patterns

When to orchestrate vs. choreograph. How agents negotiate. Deadlock avoidance.

State

State Management

What state to persist. How to recover. When to checkpoint. State isolation.

Failure

Failure Handling

Expected vs. unexpected failures. Retry strategies. Graceful degradation.

Observability

Debugging Agents

What to log. How to trace. Anomaly detection. Root cause analysis.

Security

Capability Grants

Least privilege for agents. Capability scoping. Revocation patterns.

Scale

Resource Management

Rate limiting. Backpressure. Parallel execution. Cost optimization.

Prerequisites

Required: Completed "Building Context Planes" or equivalent experience
Required: Built at least one agent system (even a simple one)
Required: Strong programming skills (TypeScript or Python)
