langgraph-agent-patterns

langgraph-agent-patterns is a skill for Claude Code from soba-labs/langchain-agent-skills. It costs 118 tokens per session (3,344 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to coordinating multiple specialized language-model agents in LangGraph. It explains supervisors, routers, parallel workers, and step-by-step handoffs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build multi-agent applications, delegate work to specialist agents, route requests, run independent tasks in parallel, and combine their results.
Why use it?
It helps choose a workflow structure instead of connecting agents arbitrarily. The choice depends on whether tasks need routing, parallel work, or a fixed sequence.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

langgraph-agent-patterns scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 11 executable files (assets/examples/handoff-example/js/index.js, assets/examples/handoff-example/python/graph.py, assets/examples/orchestrator-example/js/index.js, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

LangGraph Agent Patterns

Implement and configure multi-agent coordination patterns for LangGraph applications.

Pattern Selection

Choose the right pattern based on your coordination needs:

Pattern Best For When to Use
Supervisor Complex workflows, dynamic routing Agents need to collaborate, routing is context-dependent
Router Simple categorization, independent tasks One-time routing, deterministic decisions
Orchestrator-Worker Parallel execution, high throughput Independent subtasks, results need aggregation
Handoffs Sequential workflows, context preservation Clear sequence, each agent builds on previous

Quick Decision:

  • Dynamic routing needed? → Supervisor
  • Tasks can run in parallel? → Orchestrator-Worker
  • Simple categorization? → Router
  • Linear sequence? → Handoffs

For detailed comparison: See references/pattern-comparison.md

Pattern Implementation Guides

Supervisor-Subagent Pattern

Overview: Central coordinator delegates to specialized subagents based on context.

Quick Start:

# Generate supervisor graph boilerplate
uv run scripts/generate_supervisor_graph.py my-team \
  --subagents "researcher,writer,reviewer"

# TypeScript
uv run scripts/generate_supervisor_graph.py my-team \
  --subagents "researcher,writer,reviewer" \
  --typescript

Key Components:

  1. State with routing: next field for routing decisions
  2. Supervisor node: Makes routing decisions based on context
  3. Subagent nodes: Specialized agents with distinct capabilities
  4. Conditional edges: Route from supervisor to subagents

Example Flow:

User Request → Supervisor → Researcher → Supervisor → Writer → Supervisor → FINISH

For complete implementation: See references/supervisor-subagent.md

Router Pattern

Overview: One-time routing to specialized agents based on initial request.

Key Components:

  1. State with route: Single routing decision field
  2. Router node: Categorizes request (keyword, LLM, or semantic)
  3. Specialized agents: Independent agents for each category
  4. Conditional routing: Route to agent, then END

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
