Lesson 6 of 10 · Multi-Agent Orchestration for Complex Work
In this lesson. Complexity tax versus a better prompt.
What you will learn
- Complexity tax
- Collapse rule
- Taste
Walkthrough
You will write the rule for collapsing. Orchestration is expensive. This course ends on taste: fewer moving parts if quality is equal.
Work through the ideas in order. After each point, pause and connect it to a task you already do — a document, a workflow, or a feature you own. The goal of Multi-Agent Orchestration for Complex Work is usable skill, not a pile of notes.
If something is unclear, rewrite it in your own words before you continue. Teaching the step back to yourself is the fastest way to see gaps.
Practice
Write a collapse rule in three bullets.
Keep the first attempt small. A finished example you can reuse beats a perfect plan you never run.
