Phase 8: Multi-Agent Systems & Platform Architecture · 50 min · Claude Code · MCP · Python

Scaling Your Product to a Platform

Six layers, one document: what's shared, what's product-specific, and why — written down before phases 8–11 has to build on top of the answer.

What you will learn

Decide which of your product's capabilities belong in shared platform layers versus staying product-specific
Document multi-agent orchestration, memory architecture, and long-running task support as explicit platform decisions
Apply the same specificity bar from earlier specs and harness documents to a platform architecture document
Produce a platform architecture document that becomes the foundation for your phases 8–11 project

Introduction

Objective
