Ideas and Potential Improvements

  • Status Polling Mechanism: Implement a mandatory status file for all agents that the orchestrator can poll. This would prevent having to tail chat files to estimate if an agent is stuck or done (see TRIAL_1.md).
  • Verification of Premises: Require agents to perform an "Environment Check" before acting on prompts to prevent fulfillment of hallucinated requirements (e.g., CMake in a Makefile-only project).
  • Administrative Handshake: Force a "Sync" step at the end of every subagent task where they must receive an ACK from the parent before idling, reducing the "Done State Trap."
  • Purity Reviewers: Introduce specialized reviewer scripts that look for "extraness" (extra files, unrelated changes, or phantom technical debt) rather than just functional correctness.
