Agent patterns
Multi-agent compression
In multi-agent systems, every agent sees the messages from all other agents. With 5 agents exchanging 3 messages each, that's 15 messages per task — 3,000-6,000 tokens of inter-agent chatter.
The communication graph
Each agent receives: its own instructions (500-1,000 tokens), messages from other agents (200-500 tokens each), shared context (1,000-2,000 tokens), and tool call results (500-1,000 tokens). For a 5-agent team, a single task can consume 5,000-10,000 tokens before any agent generates a response.
Frequently asked questions
Which messages should I compress?
Focus on agent-to-agent messages. System instructions and tool schemas should be preserved.
Does compression break agent coordination?
No. Only irrelevant or redundant messages are removed. Coordination-critical messages are preserved.
