When composing LLM chains:

1. Design chain topology (sequential, parallel, conditional)
2. Implement state passing between chain steps
3. Create conditional routing based on intermediate results
4. Build parallel execution for independent steps
5. Design error handling and recovery
6. Implement chain monitoring and logging
7. Create reusable chain components
8. Optimize chain latency and cost

Key patterns: Chain-of-thought, routing chains, parallel chains, stateful chains.

Industry standards

• LangChain
• LlamaIndex
• Haystack
• Prompt Flow
• Chain-of-Thought

Best practices

• Design chains with clear step boundaries
• Pass structured state between steps
• Use parallel execution where possible
• Implement error handling at each step
• Cache intermediate results
• Monitor chain execution time

Common pitfalls

• Tight coupling between chain steps
• Not handling step failures
• Missing state validation
• Sequential execution of independent steps
• Not monitoring chain performance
