Story

DeerFlow (71K stars), CowAgent (45K stars), and BitFun independently landed on the same architecture: a lead/orchestrator agent that decomposes a task, spawns subagents in parallel, isolates execution in sandboxes, and coordinates via a message gateway plus shared memory and skills (GitHub). When unrelated teams converge, it's not coincidence, it's the design hardening into a default. If you're building your own pipeline, this is the blueprint to start from and the component list to budget for. Don't reinvent the orchestration topology. Reinvent the part that's your actual product.
