Agent frameworks (LangChain, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents SDK) are commoditizing multi-agent orchestration. Gartner saw a 1,445% surge in multi-agent inquiries from Q1 2024 to Q2 2025, but standardized protocols like MCP and A2A mean routine orchestration is becoming configuration rather than engineering. The cutting-edge design work remains human, but the breadth of tasks requiring a specialist is shrinking as tooling matures.
