Hi everyone,

Day 11 of Google's Advent of Agents — Season 2 is now live!

Stop hardcoding static agent chains and start building systems that can think before they act using the Hierarchical Decomposition pattern. Learn how to use a Manager agent to dynamically generate plans and orchestrate sub-agent pipelines for maximum autonomy.

Today's Highlights:

  • Master the 'Russian Doll' pattern by wrapping specialized agents inside AgentTools for nested orchestration.
  • Enable runtime planning to decompose complex, unpredictable user prompts into logical, actionable steps.
  • Coordinate autonomous handoffs between a top-level Manager and downstream Sequential worker agents.

Happy building!
