Agent Roles & Specialization

Master specialized agent roles and build effective multi-agent teams

Strategic Role Assignment

Not all tasks require equal distribution of roles. A research-heavy task needs more Researcher effort, while a complex implementation demands strong Executor presence.

Task-Driven Role Allocation

β€’
Analyze Task Requirements: What does this task need most? Information? Planning? Execution?
β€’
Allocate Effort Proportionally: Assign more resources to critical phases
β€’
Balance vs. Specialize: Some tasks need one strong specialist; others need balanced teams

Assignment Strategies

βœ“ DO

  • β€’ Match role strength to task phase importance
  • β€’ Allow for unequal distribution when appropriate
  • β€’ Consider task complexity and risk level
  • β€’ Adjust based on available resources

βœ— DON'T

  • β€’ Assume equal 25% distribution works for all tasks
  • β€’ Ignore task-specific requirements
  • β€’ Over-allocate to one role at expense of others
  • β€’ Skip the Review role to save resources

πŸ’‘ Key Insight

There is no one-size-fits-all allocation. A data analysis project needs heavy research (40%+), while a code refactoring task needs strong review (30%+). The best teams dynamically adjust role emphasis based on task demands.
