In this 60‑minute presentation, you'll learn how to design, compose, and operate multi‑agent solutions in Microsoft Copilot Studio's new agent experience. We'll walk through reference architectures, live demos, and governance patterns that help you scale from a single agent to a resilient multi‑agent ecosystem using Skills, Connected Agents, Agent‑to‑Agent (A2A) collaboration, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations.

What You'll Learn
* Multi‑Agent Architecture Fundamentals

Learn how to model roles, capabilities, boundaries, and context across agents. Explore common orchestration patterns such as planner/executor, broker/worker, and supervisor/specialist designs. Understand when to keep capabilities within a single agent and when to distribute them across reusable skills or autonomous agents.

* Skills: Modular Capabilities in the New Copilot Experience

In the new Copilot Studio experience, Skills provide a reusable and composable way to extend an agent's capabilities. Skills are self-contained, markdown-based capabilities that the orchestration engine can dynamically invoke when a user's request matches their purpose.

You'll learn:

How to design and structure reusable skills
Skill descriptions, instructions, and orchestration triggers
When to use a skill instead of a connected agent
Packaging and sharing skills across multiple agents
Creating specialist capabilities without increasing orchestration complexity
Designing skills that leverage tools, knowledge, and workflows effectively

We'll demonstrate how complex agent behavior can be decomposed into reusable capabilities while maintaining clarity, reusability, and governance.
