Worker
Definition
In the Hierarchy multi-agent pattern, Workers are specialized agents (often smaller, faster models) that execute one specific task well. They receive their tasks from the Planner and produce outputs that feed into the Validator.
Role in Multi-Agent Hierarchy
- Receives focused, atomic task from Planner
- Executes task using specialized skills, fine-tuning, or prompts
- Produces output for Validator to check
- Cannot start until Planner provides task (dependency graph enforces this)
Key Properties
- Specialized for a single domain or task type
- Can use smaller/faster models than Planner due to focused scope
- May have tools or prompts fine-tuned for their specific task
- Treated as "cattle" (replaceable), not "pet" (unique)
