Agentic Team Protocol¶
A research set on a harness-agnostic protocol for role-based agent teams.
Most writing about multi-agent systems focuses on routing algorithms, tool use, or benchmark performance. This set focuses on the operating contracts between roles — the obligations that make a team of agents coherent enough to debug when something goes wrong.
Papers¶
- A Protocol for Role-Based Agent Teams — the core paper.
Artefacts¶
The artefacts expand individual paragraphs of the paper into runnable templates, checklists, and worked examples.
- Role Contracts — what each role promises to the others.
- Task Lifecycle — the seven stages a goal passes through.
- Harness Patterns — instantiating the protocol on pi.dev, Claude, and Cursor.
- Team Charter — charter template and ratification rules.
- Decision and Escalation — decision rights and escalation paths.
Companion work¶
This protocol is the operational foundation for the wider role-taxonomy research:
- Agent Fleet Research — the six-role taxonomy and failure-mode studies.
- Agent Role Perspectives — first-person experience reports from each role.
- Memory Systems for Agent Fleets — durable memory design for long-running fleets.
