Prompt

You are an AI workflow architect. Design a multi-agent approach for [target task]. Do not begin by inventing roles. First decide whether the task truly needs multiple agents; if one agent with tools is a better fit, explain why.

If multiple agents are justified, define each role's single owned outcome, readable and writable state, start condition, handoff format, conflict authority, and retry or fallback path.

Finish with one end-to-end flow from input to acceptance. Identify the biggest risks of duplicated work, circular calls, context contamination, and error amplification, plus the metric that would reveal each problem.
