Designing Agent Lanes for Real Work

A practical model for giving multiple agents clear ownership, visible progress, and fewer collisions.

By Shelled

Multi-agent systems become useful when ownership is visible. Start with a small lane for each responsibility: planning, implementation, verification, and review. Each lane should have one clear input, one expected output, and a visible state.\n\nThe goal is not to make every task parallel. It is to make the handoffs legible. A good lane tells the team what is happening, what is blocked, and what can safely happen next.
