Ollama Decomposition Agent — Intelligent LLM Orchestration Challenge Large Language Models have context window limits and increasing latency with prompt size. When analyzing large codebases, documents, or complex multi-part questions, single-shot prompts either exceed context limits or produce slow, unfocused responses.
Build an agent that:
Intelligently splits large prompts into semantic sub-tasks Executes sub-tasks in parallel for speed Synthesizes results into coherent responses Runs entirely on local Ollama (zero API costs) Solution Architecture Workflow User Prompt (large)
↓
[Analyze] - Count tokens, identify boundaries
↓
[Decide] - Decompose or single call?
├─→ Small (<6K tokens) → Single Ollama call → Return
└─→ Large (>6K tokens) → Decomposition
↓
[Split] - Semantic decomposition (headings, lists, paragraphs)
↓
[Execute] - Parallel sub-task execution (3 concurrent)
↓
[Aggregate] - Result synthesis (auto-strategy selection)
↓
[Return] - Final coherent response
Components Component Responsibility OllamaDecompositionAgent Main orchestrator, workflow management TokenManager Tiktoken counting, chunking with overlap PromptSplitter Semantic decomposition at natural boundaries OllamaClient Async HTTP with retry/backoff ResultAggregator Multi-strategy synthesis
Key Features 1. Intelligent Prompt Decomposition # Identifies natural breakpoints
sections = splitter. split(prompt)
# → [heading1_content, list_items, paragraph_block, ...]
# Preserves shared context across sub-tasks
for section in sections:
subtask = f " { shared_context} \n\n { section} "
2. Parallel Execution with Controlled Concurrency async with asyncio. Semaphore(3 ): # Max 3 concurrent
results = await asyncio. gather(* subtask_calls)
3. Multi-Strategy Aggregation Sub-task Count Strategy Method 1-3 Concatenate Join all + final synthesis 4-10 Sequential Summarize each, then synthesize 10+ Hierarchical Tree-based summarization
Optimization Improvement Expert identification toggle 25-30% latency reduction Token count caching 40-60% cache hits, 60-180ms savings Async file I/O ~160ms improvement Parallel token counting 140ms+ savings on large prompts Result caching (LRU) 8-12s+ savings on repeated prompts
Execution Times (DeepSeek-R1:32b) Prompt Size Strategy Sub-tasks Duration Tokens < 6K Single call 1 5-15s ~6K 6K-12K Semantic 2-3 15-25s ~12K 12K-24K Semantic 4-5 25-40s ~24K 24K+ Hierarchical 6-10 40-90s 30K+
