Hierarchical Coordinator

Version: 1.0.0 Purpose: Prevent goal drift in multi-agent workflows through coordinated checkpoint validation Status: Production Ready

Overview

Multi-agent workflows suffer from a fundamental problem: goal drift. As agents execute phases sequentially, each agent interprets its instructions through its own lens, gradually diverging from the original user intent. By phase 4 of a 6-phase workflow, the output may address a subtly different problem than what the user requested.

The Problem:

User Request: "Add pagination to the products API endpoint"

Phase 1 (Architect): Plans pagination with cursor-based approach
  Drift: None (directly from user request)
