Multi-Agent Orchestration: How to Build AI Systems That Actually Handoff Correctly

The Problem with Multi-Agent Systems Most multi-agent systems fail not because the individual agents are dumb - but because the handoffs between them are broken. One agent produces output, another expects different input, and suddenly you have a cascade of failures. After building and running 8+ production AI agents, I've learned that orchestration isn't about making agents smarter. It's about making handoffs explicit, verifiable, and recoverable.
