Agentic Deadlocks: Multi-Agent Synchronization

Architecture · updated Mon Feb 23

Preventing circular dependencies in complex agent workflows.

Steps

  1. Use a 'Top-Down' orchestration hierarchy to prevent circularity.
  2. Set 'Maximum Wait Times' for inter-agent messages.
  3. Implement 'Heartbeat' pings for long-running agent tasks.
  4. Define a 'Priority Queue' for the central orchestrator.
  5. Allow for 'Partial Result' hand-offs to unblock downstream agents.
