Question 85
A coordinator agent delegates to specialized subagents — web search, document analysis, synthesis, report generation — to research topics and produce comprehensive, properly cited reports.
Read the full scenario lessonYou are building a multi-agent research system using the Claude Agent SDK. A coordinator agent delegates to specialized subagents: one searches the web, one analyzes documents, one synthesizes findings, and one generates reports. The system researches topics and produces comprehensive, cited reports.
A user is expanding the research system beyond its single web search agent by adding specialized data sources. They add a financial API agent that returns structured JSON with revenue, margins, and growth rates; a news monitoring agent that returns prose summaries of recent developments; and a patent analysis agent that returns structured lists of technology areas. The synthesis agent combines these into executive briefings. Currently, it converts everything to bullet points, causing financial comparisons to lose tabular clarity and news summaries to lose narrative flow. What change would most improve briefing quality?
