Agent orchestration tips: a manager or simple sequence beats complex topologies

Pawel Huryn shares practical agent design steps. Step 4, provide memory: agents must track progress and learn; most platforms support short-term memory (variables, last interactions), long-term memory (files, vector, SQL, graph), and a scratchpad ("think tool"). His tip: often an agent using .md files is all you need. Step 5, orchestrate the logic: map/code repeatable logic that doesn't belong to specific agents, and orchestrate communication between agents (static or dynamic). In most cases, adding a manager or sequencing agents—sometimes with a loop—is enough; no need to study topologies.
