# Autonomous Agent Patterns
Behind every agent is a control pattern: the loop structure that turns model outputs into actions.
This is a catalog of the proven patterns, what each is good at, and how to choose.
## Overview
Patterns differ along three axes: who plans (the model on the fly vs. a pre-made plan), how actions
are chosen (reasoning traces, structured calls, votes), and how errors are handled (retry, reflect,
escalate). No pattern dominates; the right one depends on task structure, reversibility of actions,
and cost budget. Learn the catalog, then match the pattern to the problem.
## When to use
