Multi-Agent Topologies

Multi-Agent Topologies describe the patterns of communication and coordination between agents in a multi-agent system. The three core patterns are:

1. Hub-and-Spoke
2. Pipeline
3. Peer-to-Peer (P2P)

Why it matters: The choice of topology is a foundational architectural decision that impacts control, auditability, resilience, and latency.
