Agent Harmony: Preventing Multi-Agent Deadlocks

Architecture · updated Mon Feb 23

Guardrails to prevent deadlocks and drift in multi-agent systems.

Steps

  1. Assign a final authority agent to break ties.
  2. Use locking to prevent concurrent writes.
  3. Escalate when agents bounce tasks repeatedly.
  4. Centralize shared state to avoid drift.
  5. Define clear exit criteria for handoffs.
