10. Agent Mesh Pattern
Covers a decentralized mesh of peer agents that discover and negotiate with each other directly, contrasted with the centralized orchestrator/supervisor patterns earlier in this catalog, and the discovery/trust problems a mesh introduces.
6. Blackboard Pattern
Covers the blackboard architecture - a shared, structured workspace multiple specialist agents read and write to opportunistically - and where it beats explicit message-passing for loosely-coupled multi-agent collaboration.
7. Event-Driven Pattern
Covers building agent systems on an event bus rather than direct request/response calls, including event schema design, at-least-once delivery handling, and idempotent agent reactions to replayed events.
9. Human Approval Pattern
Covers designing human-in-the-loop checkpoints for high-risk agent actions - approval gates, timeout/escalation policy, and how to keep the pattern from becoming a rubber-stamp bottleneck.
