Agentic Patterns

Summary

Awesome Agentic Patterns A curated catalogue of agentic AI patterns — real‑world tricks, workflows, and mini‑architectures that help autonomous or semi‑autonomous AI agents get useful work done in production. Why? Tutorials show toy demos. Real products hide the messy bits. This list surfaces the repeatable patterns that bridge the gap so we can all ship smarter, faster agents. What counts as a pattern? Repeatable – more than one team is using it. – more than one team is using it. Agent‑centric – improves how an AI agent senses, reasons, or acts. – improves how an AI agent senses, reasons, or acts. Traceable – backed by a public reference: blog post, talk, repo, or paper. If your link ticks those boxes, it belongs here.

Inspiration This project started after the write‑up "What Sourcegraph learned building AI coding agents" (28 May 2025) and the ongoing Raising an Agent video diary. Many first patterns come straight from those lessons — thanks to everyone sharing their journey in the open! License
