Multi-Agent Collaboration Plan

Existing Building Blocks ✅

  1. Agent Infrastructure

    • Basic Agent structure with configurable components (prisms, beams, lenses)
    • Agent Supervisor for managing multiple agent processes
    • Memory system for individual agents
    • Agent reflection capabilities for self-awareness and decision making

  2. Communication Foundation

    • Signal system for point-to-point message passing
    • Basic signal routing infrastructure
    • Signal delivery status tracking and notifications
    • Chat handling prism for processing messages
    • Basic collaboration protocols defined (:ask, :tell, :delegate, :request_review)

  3. Agent Management

    • Dynamic agent creation and supervision
    • Agent lifecycle management (start/stop)
    • Individual agent state management
    • Central hub for discovering available agents (AgentHub)
    • Agent capability advertisement system
    • Agent status tracking (busy, available, offline)

Missing Features 🚀

  1. Enhanced Communication

    • Message queuing and prioritization
    • Asynchronous communication patterns
    • Error handling and retry mechanisms
    • Signal archival and retrieval system
      • Pluggable storage backends (ETS, PostgreSQL)
      • Query interface for historical signals
      • TTL and cleanup policies
      • Signal indexing and search
      • Audit trail for signal lifecycle

  2. Collaboration Protocols Implementation

    • Implementation of :ask protocol for agent queries
    • Implementation of :tell protocol for information sharing
    • Implementation of :delegate protocol for task delegation
    • Implementation of :request_review protocol for peer review
    • Protocol versioning and compatibility

  3. Team Formation and Management

    • Team creation and composition rules
    • Role-based agent organization
    • Dynamic team scaling (adding/removing agents)
    • Team-wide goal setting and tracking
    • Conflict resolution mechanisms

  4. Coordination and Orchestration

    • Task distribution and load balancing
    • Dependency management between agent tasks
    • Progress monitoring and reporting
    • Deadlock prevention
    • Timeout and cancellation handling

  5. Shared Knowledge and Resources

    • Shared memory spaces for team collaboration
    • Resource locking and access control
    • Knowledge base synchronization
    • Shared context management
    • Signal Archive
      • Historical signal access and replay
      • Signal analytics and insights
      • Integration with monitoring tools

  6. Monitoring and Debugging

    • Agent interaction logging
    • Performance metrics for individual agents
    • Debugging tools for signal routing
    • Signal delivery analytics and insights

  7. Security and Safety

    • Inter-agent trust management
    • Message validation and sanitization
    • Rate limiting and resource protection
    • Audit logging for agent interactions

Implementation Priority

  1. Enhanced Communication (High Priority)

    • Core functionality needed for reliable agent interaction
    • Focus on point-to-point signal delivery
    • Signal archival system for persistence and analysis

  2. Collaboration Protocols Implementation (High Priority)

    • Enables structured interaction patterns
    • Builds on communication system

  3. Team Formation and Management (Medium Priority)

    • Organizes agents into effective teams
    • Depends on discovery and communication

  4. Coordination and Orchestration (Medium Priority)

    • Optimizes team performance
    • Requires basic collaboration features

  5. Shared Knowledge and Resources (Medium Priority)

    • Enhances team effectiveness
    • Builds on team management
    • Includes signal archival system

  6. Monitoring and Debugging (Low Priority)

    • Improves system observability
    • Can be added after core functionality

  7. Security and Safety (Ongoing)

    • Should be considered throughout implementation
    • Can be enhanced iteratively

Next Steps

  1. Begin implementing the Enhanced Communication system

    • Design and implement signal archival system
      • Define storage backend interface
      • Implement ETS-based storage
      • Add PostgreSQL backend
      • Design query/search interface

  2. Implement collaboration protocols one at a time

    • Start with :ask protocol
    • Add :tell protocol
    • Implement :delegate protocol
    • Add :request_review protocol

  3. Design and implement team formation

    • Define team composition rules
    • Add role-based organization
    • Implement dynamic scaling
