Building Reusable Agent Components #
Modular agent design enables reuse across projects and domains. Well-designed components accelerate development and improve quality.
Component Design Principles #
- Single responsibility: Each component does one thing well
- Loose coupling: Minimal dependencies between components
- High cohesion: Related functionality grouped together
- Clear interfaces: Consistent communication patterns
Common Component Types #
- Task executors: Perform specific actions
- Data transformers: Modify or enrich information
- Validators: Check correctness and constraints
- Deciders: Make routing and prioritization choices
Composition Patterns #
- Pipeline: Sequential processing steps
- Parallel: Concurrent execution of independent tasks
- Federated: Multiple agents collaborating on shared goal
- Recursive: Agents invoking other agents
