Agentic Mesh
Reference skill for the Agentic Mesh book (Falconer, O'Reilly 2025). Provides the theoretical and architectural foundation for building agent ecosystems.
Core Definitions
- Agentic Mesh: Interconnected ecosystem for agent discovery, collaboration, interaction, and transactions. Inherits from service mesh (APIs) and data mesh (data products).
- Agent: LLM-powered program that independently makes decisions, plans iteratively, and executes complex tasks. Distinguished from workflows by autonomous reasoning and nondeterministic execution.
- Agentic Quantum: Smallest meaningful unit = LLM (brain) + tools (limbs) + execution framework, containerized as a microagent.
Architecture at a Glance
Agent Anatomy (4 components)
| Component | Role |
|---|---|
| Brain (LLM) | Reasoning, planning, language — stateless, multimodal |
| Memory | Native / short-term / long-term / episodic / procedural / semantic |
| Context Engineering | Hot/warm/cold cache tiers, RAG, compression, slotting |
| Tools | Sensors + actuators, MCP protocol, tool chaining |
