Multi-Agent Architecture Diagram Template

What this template is for

A multi-agent architecture diagram shows how several specialized AI agents coordinate to solve a task that one agent would struggle with alone. This template lays out the supervisor pattern: a supervisor (orchestrator) agent receives the user's request, breaks it into sub-tasks, and delegates each to a worker agent specialized for that job — research, coding, writing. A shared memory layer (a vector store) lets the agents pass context to one another. Use it to design a multi-agent system, document which agent owns which responsibility, or explain why a task was split across agents instead of handled by one.

When to use this template

• Design a multi-agent system and assign a clear responsibility to each agent.
• Explain to a stakeholder why one agent isn't enough for a complex workflow.
• Document the delegation flow from supervisor to workers for a design review.
• Trace a failure to a specific agent — was it research, coding, or writing that broke?
• Show how agents share context through a common memory layer.
• Compare a supervisor pattern against a flat, peer-to-peer agent network.

How to use it

1. 1Start with the user request entering the supervisor at the top.
2. 2Draw the supervisor (orchestrator) — it plans and delegates, but doesn't do the work itself.
3. 3Add the worker agent layer below: one box per specialized agent.
4. 4Connect the supervisor to each worker to show task delegation.
5. 5Add a shared memory layer at the bottom that all workers read from and write to.
6. 6Connect the worker layer to shared memory to show how context is passed between agents.
