Planning Loop

Control pattern decomposing high-level user tasks into DAG sub-goals executed sequentially or in parallel by subagents.

Mechanism & Definition

An agent architecture stage responsible for task decomposition and plan formulation. Before calling tools, the LLM creates a structured goal breakdown (DAG or step sequence), dynamically revising remaining steps as tool execution outputs yield new constraints or errors.
