  Pattern recommendations based on Anthropic's best practices:

  * sequential: Clear step-by-step dependencies
  * parallel: Independent subtasks that can run concurrently
  * routing: Different input types need different handling
  * orchestrator-workers: Complex tasks needing dynamic decomposition
  * evaluator-optimizer: Tasks requiring iterative refinement
