This repository offers comprehensive visual and textual documentation for 21 essential agentic design patterns, aimed at engineers and researchers building intelligent AI systems. It provides clear, accessible explanations and diagrams to facilitate quick understanding and adoption decisions for various agentic architectures.

How It Works

The project documents agentic design patterns through three distinct formats: Mermaid Diagrams for visual flowcharts in plain English, detailed Pattern Discussions covering use cases, pros/cons, and implementation, and ASCII Art Diagrams for easy integration into text-based environments like Miro boards. This multi-modal approach ensures patterns are easily understood and applicable across different documentation and design workflows.

Quick Start & Requirements

No installation is required. Users can explore patterns by navigating to the respective folders within the repository. Prerequisites are standard for accessing and reading documentation.
