Upstream docs at learn.microsoft.com/agent-framework/tutorials/workflows/simple-concurrent-workflow changed — the primary .NET C# example was updated to use the high-level AgentWorkflowBuilder.BuildConcurrent API instead of hand-rolled custom executors.

Changes

  • references/official-docs/tutorials/workflows/simple-concurrent-workflow.md — Refreshed local snapshot:

    • Primary example now uses translation agents + AgentWorkflowBuilder.BuildConcurrent(agents); execution kicks off via run.TrySendMessageAsync(new TurnToken(...)) and collects List<ChatMessage> from WorkflowOutputEvent
    • Old custom-executor pattern (Physicist/Chemist) preserved in a new Advanced section with the corrected Executor<ChatMessage> signature (per-message, not Executor<List<ChatMessage>>)
  • references/workflows.md — Documents AgentWorkflowBuilder.BuildConcurrent under Builder Selection: API signature, optional aggregator overload, TurnToken execution notes, and guidance on when to fall back to manual AddFanOutEdge/AddFanInEdge

  • SKILL.md (v1.5.0):

    • Adds AgentWorkflowBuilder to Core Knowledge
    • Updates Decision Cheatsheet row for concurrent orchestration to surface BuildConcurrent
// Before: required ConcurrentStartExecutor + ConcurrentAggregationExecutor custom classes
var workflow = new WorkflowBuilder(startExecutor)
    .AddFanOutEdge(startExecutor, targets: [physicist, chemist])
    .AddFanInEdge(aggregationExecutor, sources: [physicist, chemist])
    .WithOutputFrom(aggregationExecutor)
    .Build();

// After: high-level builder handles fan-out/fan-in automatically
var workflow = AgentWorkflowBuilder.BuildConcurrent(translationAgents);
await run.TrySendMessageAsync(new TurnToken(emitEvents: true));

Pull request overview

Updates the .NET Microsoft Agent Framework skill documentation to reflect a new skill version and to better highlight AgentWorkflowBuilder helpers (notably BuildConcurrent) as the recommended “quick path” for common concurrent orchestration patterns.

Changes:

  • Bumped the skill version to 1.5.0 and expanded the core/cheatsheet guidance to include AgentWorkflowBuilder for orchestration patterns.
  • Added a concise AgentWorkflowBuilder.BuildConcurrent reference section explaining when to prefer it over manual WorkflowBuilder fan-out/fan-in wiring.
  • Refreshed the “Simple Concurrent Workflow” tutorial to use AgentWorkflowBuilder.BuildConcurrent, updated wording/headings, and updated the doc date to 03/17/2026.
