Volume 10 - Multi-Agent Systems

Volume 10 follows one system through nine chapters: a research assistant modelled on Anthropic's published multi-agent design, in which a Claude Opus 5.5 lead and Claude Sonnet 5 subagents answer a medium query for $1.14 in 250 seconds at list prices as of 27 September 2026. The chapters first decide whether a team should exist at all, then how its agents share state and exchange messages, how supervisors, handoff swarms and votes coordinate them, and what production adds: delegated identity, billed retries, idempotent side effects and durable execution.

What This Volume Covers

Read the sections in order if you are building from scratch. Experienced readers can jump to a section, but the chapters are sequenced to build vocabulary, mental models, implementation judgment, and architecture readiness.
