Agent collaboration patterns
the structural blueprints that define how multiple agents — human, cognitive, or artificial — coordinate their work, with each pattern being a specific solution to a specific dependency structure
Why This Is a Definition
This definition explicitly names the term 'Agent collaboration patterns', states its genus as 'structural blueprints', and provides its differentia by explaining what they define (how multiple agents coordinate work) and how they function (specific solutions to dependency structures). It distinguishes these patterns from mere resource management and establishes their relationship to dependency structures.
