Agentic AI Design Patterns: The RTPM Framework for Robust AI Systems

Listen to this Post

Featured Image
Agentic AI Design Patterns are revolutionizing real-world AI systems, moving beyond linear “prompt → output” models to dynamic, autonomous agents capable of reflection, adaptation, planning, and collaboration. The RTPM framework (Reflection, Tool-Use, Planning, Multi-Agent Collaboration) provides a blueprint for scalable agentic systems.

You Should Know: Practical Implementation of RTPM Framework

1. Reflection (Self-Correcting AI Agents)

Agents must evaluate their actions dynamically. Below are practical steps to implement reflection:

Linux/CLI Commands for Logging & Self-Evaluation

 Monitor AI agent logs in real-time 
tail -f /var/log/agent.log

Use jq to parse JSON-based reflection outputs 
cat agent_output.json | jq '.reflection.score'

Automated validation script (Python snippet) 
import json 
with open('agent_output.json') as f: 
data = json.load(f) 
if data['success'] == False: 
os.system('retry_agent_task.py') 

Windows PowerShell for Reflection Checks

 Check if an API response matches expected output 
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "http://ai-agent/api/validate" 
if ($response.status -ne "success") { 
Start-Process "C:\scripts\retry_agent.ps1" 
} 

2. Tool-Use (Integrating External Capabilities)

Agents must execute code, query APIs, and interact with databases.

Linux Command-Line Tool Integration

 Execute Python script from agent 
python3 /opt/ai/tools/data_fetcher.py --query "SELECT  FROM logs"

Call REST API using curl 
curl -X POST http://api.fireworks.ai/execute --data '{"tool": "sql_query", "params": {"query": "SHOW TABLES"}}'

Schedule tool execution via cron 
echo "0     /usr/bin/python3 /opt/ai/tools/daily_report.py" | crontab - 

Windows Tool Automation

 Run a SQL query from PowerShell 
$sqlQuery = "SELECT  FROM Transactions" 
Invoke-Sqlcmd -Query $sqlQuery -ServerInstance "DBServer"

Trigger an external executable 
Start-Process "C:\tools\data_processor.exe" -ArgumentList "--mode=analyze" 

3. Planning (Task Decomposition & Execution)

Agents must break tasks into steps and adjust dynamically.

Linux-Based Workflow Automation

 Use Makefile for task dependencies 
make plan_agent_tasks

Parallel execution with GNU Parallel 
cat task_list.txt | parallel -j 4 "./execute_task.sh {}"

Validate DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) execution 
python3 validate_dag.py --graph task_graph.json 

Windows Task Scheduling

 Schedule tasks dynamically 
Register-ScheduledTask -TaskName "AI_Planner" -Trigger (New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -AtStartup) -Action (New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute "C:\planner\ai_planner.ps1") 

4. Multi-Agent Collaboration (Distributed AI Systems)

Specialized agents (planner, retriever, executor) must communicate efficiently.

Linux IPC (Inter-Process Communication)

 Use Redis for inter-agent messaging 
redis-cli PUBLISH agent_channel '{"task": "process_data", "agent": "executor"}'

Shared memory via tmpfs 
mount -t tmpfs -o size=1G tmpfs /dev/shm/agent_memory 

Windows Multi-Agent Coordination

 Named pipes for agent communication 
$pipe = New-Object System.IO.Pipes.NamedPipeServerStream("ai_pipe") 
$stream = New-Object System.IO.StreamWriter($pipe) 
$stream.WriteLine("Task assigned: ID=45") 
$stream.Close() 

What Undercode Say

The RTPM framework transforms AI from static chatbots into autonomous, self-improving systems. By integrating reflection logs, tool automation, task planning, and multi-agent IPC, developers can build resilient AI architectures. Expect future advancements in self-healing AI, decentralized agent networks, and real-time adversarial adaptation.

Prediction

By 2026, 70% of enterprise AI systems will adopt agentic patterns, reducing manual oversight by 40% and enabling fully autonomous IT operations.

Expected Output:

  • AI agents self-correcting via reflection logs.
  • Automated tool execution via CLI/PowerShell.
  • Dynamic task planning using DAGs.
  • Multi-agent systems communicating via Redis/Named Pipes.
