## Design Patterns Reference

### Multi-Agent Teams
```
Use when: Complex analysis requiring multiple perspectives
Pattern: Hedge Fund Expert (18 specialists)
Implementation: Spawn subagents with specific roles
```

### Safety-First Operations
```
Use when: Destructive operations, file management
Pattern: Tidy Folder (backup before, move not delete)
Implementation: Automatic backups, reversible actions
```

### One-to-Many Generation
```
Use when: Creative exploration, A/B testing
Pattern: GIF Sticker Maker (4 variations), 9 Cinematic Angles
Implementation: Single input → multiple output variations
```

### Perspective Simulation
```
Use when: Decision validation, bias checking
Pattern: AI Trading Consortium (Buffett, Lynch, Burry)
Implementation: Generate multiple expert opinions
```

### Binary Decision Systems
```
Use when: Risk management, clear action signals
Pattern: Crypto Trading Agent (EXECUTE/NO TRADE)
Implementation: Strict output constraints
```

### Multi-Format Output
```
Use when: Reaching different audiences
Pattern: Knowledge Digest (notes, quizzes, slides, audio)
Implementation: Transform single source to multiple formats
```

## SDK Quick Reference (z-ai-web-dev-sdk)

### Initialization
```javascript
import ZAI from 'z-ai-web-dev-sdk';
const zai = await ZAI.create();
```

### LLM Chat
```javascript
const completion = await zai.chat.completions.create({
  messages: [
    { role: 'system', content: 'You are helpful.' },
    { role: 'user', content: 'Hello!' }
  ]
});
```

### Image Generation
```javascript
const image = await zai.images.generations.create({
  prompt: 'A sunset over mountains',
  size: '1024x1024'
});
// image.data[0].base64 contains the image
```

### Web Search
```javascript
const results = await zai.functions.invoke("web_search", {
  query: "latest AI news",
  num: 10
});
```

### Video Generation (Async)
```javascript
const task = await zai.videos.generations.create({ prompt });
const status = await zai.videos.generations.status(task.id);
const result = await zai.videos.generations.retrieve(task.id);
```
