Agentic Workflow Patterns
"Agent" gets used to mean almost anything. This module gives you five concrete, composable workflow patterns — and the vocabulary to say precisely which one you're building.
Learning objectives
- Beginner: A 2-step Chain workflow for a task with an obvious, fixed order of operations (draft, then polish).
- Intermediate: A Routing workflow for a support-ticket triage system, where BILLING/TECHNICAL/GENERAL genuinely need different prompts and possibly different tools.
- Advanced: A full agent (Module 20's capstone) with several MCP-exposed tools, bounded by a max-turns limit and an evaluator (Module 16) checking the final answer before it's returned — combining nearly every module on this site into one system.
