🤖 Multi-Agent System Framework

A cognitive-inspired multi-agent orchestration framework with memory systems, decision engine, self-learning feedback loop, and enterprise-grade safety protocols.

---

📖 Overview

This framework implements an intelligent multi-agent system inspired by cognitive architecture. It coordinates 8 specialized AI agents through an orchestration layer, with a memory system that enables learning from past executions.

Key Features

• 🧠 4-Layer Memory System — Short-term, Episodic, Semantic, and Long-term memory
• 🎯 Intelligent Decision Engine — Auto-selects and orders agents based on task analysis
• 🔄 Self-Learning Feedback Loop — Evaluates performance and improves over time
• 📦 Standard Data Schema — Unified communication format across all agents
• ⚡ Hybrid Execution — Sequential, parallel, or hybrid agent execution
• 🛡️ Error Recovery — Retry, escalate, and abort protocols built-in
• 🛑 Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) — Approval gates for high-risk actions
• ⏪ Rollback Strategy — Automatic undo when agents fail mid-execution
• 📐 Context Window Management — Prevent token overflow across agent chains
• 💾 State Checkpointing — Crash recovery and execution resumption
• 📋 Agent Discovery & Registry — Auto-detect new agents without manual config

🤖 Agents

All agents are auto-discovered via the Agent Registry. Each agent's SKILL.md includes frontmatter metadata for automatic registration.

Agent	Responsibility	Risk Level	Priority
Security	Identify vulnerabilities and harden systems (OWASP)	🔴 High	1
Software Engineer	End-to-end architecture and system design	🟡 Medium	2
Backend	Build scalable backend systems and APIs	🟡 Medium	3
Database	Design, optimize, and manage database systems	🔴 High	4
Frontend	Build modern, responsive frontend UIs	🟡 Medium	5
AI Engineer	Design & implement AI/ML models and pipelines	🟡 Medium	6
Bug Analyzer	Detect, trace, and fix bugs with prevention	🟢 Low	7
Code Reviewer	Review code quality, performance, and standards	🟢 Low	8

Adding a new agent? Just create a new folder in agents/ with a SKILL.md — it's automatically registered!

🧠 Memory System

The memory architecture is inspired by human cognitive science:

Memory Type	Purpose	Retention
Short-Term	Current task context, checkpoints & active agents	1 execution cycle
Episodic	Past cases, outcomes, and lessons learned	50 most recent (FIFO)
Semantic	Rules, best practices, and anti-patterns	Permanent (rule-based)
Long-Term	Proven strategies and optimized flows	100 patterns (score-based)

Pattern Lifecycle

New Pattern (score ≥ 7) → Candidate (1-4 uses)
    → Proven (5+ uses, < 30% failure)
    → Deprecated (failure rate > 30%)

🔒 Safety Protocols

🛑 Human-in-the-Loop (HITL)

Every agent action is classified by risk level. High-risk and critical actions require explicit user approval before execution.

Risk Level	Approval Required	Examples
🟢 Low	❌ Auto-proceed	Code review, analysis
🟡 Medium	❌ Auto-proceed	Generate new code
🔴 High	✅ Required	Modify schema, change auth
⚫ Critical	✅ Required	Delete data, deploy to prod

• Timeout default: abort (safe default)
• Expert mode: auto_approve_all: true to skip gates

⏪ Rollback Strategy

If an agent fails mid-execution, the system automatically reverts changes:

• Full Rollback — Revert all agents in reverse order (LIFO)
• Partial Rollback — Revert only failed dependency chain
• Selective Rollback — User picks which agents to revert

Agent C fails → Rollback C → Rollback B → Rollback A
(reverse execution order, restore snapshots)

💾 State Checkpointing

Progress is saved after each agent completes. If execution is interrupted:

• Automatically detected on next run
• User is prompted to resume or start fresh
• Checkpoints expire after 24 hours

📐 Context Window Management

Prevents token overflow in multi-agent chains:

• Smart Summarization — Large outputs summarized before passing
• Reference Mode — Very large data stored as retrievable artifacts
• Priority Pruning — Metadata dropped first, core data kept intact
• Per-Agent Budgets — Token limits enforced per agent

---

🔄 Workflow Pipeline

The system follows a 6-phase execution pipeline:

Phase 0: Initialization

Agent registry scan → Checkpoint recovery check

Phase 1: Context Loading

Load user request → Retrieve past cases → Load rules & practices

Phase 2: Decision & Planning

Classify task → Query registry → Select agents → Assess risk → Calculate context budget

Phase 3: Execution

For each agent: HITL gate → Snapshot → Context check → Execute → Checkpoint → Error handling

Phase 4: Evaluation & Learning

Score results → Detect issues → Evaluate protocols → Store learnings

Phase 5: Cleanup

Delete checkpoint → Clear artifacts → Clear snapshots

📋 Standard Data Schema

All agents communicate using a unified envelope format (v2.0):

{
  "agent_name": "backend-agent",
  "timestamp": "2026-04-08T15:45:00Z",
  "status": "success",
  "confidence": 0.92,
  "input_received": {
    "from_agent": "database-agent",
    "task_summary": "Implement REST API for user management",
    "summarized": false,
    "artifact_refs": []
  },
  "output": {
    "type": "code",
    "data": {},
    "artifacts": []
  },
  "pre_execution_snapshot": {
    "snapshot_id": "snap_001",
    "files_modified": [],
    "files_created": []
  },
  "context_info": {
    "input_tokens": 1200,
    "output_tokens": 2300,
    "summarized": false
  },
  "metadata": {
    "risk_level": "medium",
    "approval_status": "not_required",
    "checkpoint_id": "chk_001"
  }
}

⚠️ Error Recovery

Agent fails → Retry with simplified prompt
    ↓ fails again
Escalate to software-engineer-agent
    ↓ fails again
Trigger Rollback (reverse order) → Notify user → Report to feedback-system

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• An AI coding assistant that supports .agents/ directory structure (e.g., Gemini, Cursor, etc.)

Usage

Option 1: Quick Install (Recommended) Open your project terminal and run:

npx gravity-skill init

This will automatically copy the agent system into your project root.

Option 2: Clone for Contribution If you wish to contribute to the framework:

git clone https://github.com/PabloRaka/skills-workflow-for-code.git
cd skills-workflow-for-code

1. Place the .agents/ directory in your project root.
2. Your AI assistant will automatically pick up the agent system configuration.
3. Invoke the workflow by referencing /workflow in your AI assistant.

Adding a New Agent

1. Create a new folder: agents/your-agent-name/
2. Add a SKILL.md with required frontmatter:

   ---
   name: your-agent-name
   description: What this agent does
   capabilities:
     - keyword1
     - keyword2
   input_types:
     - type1
   output_types:
     - type1
   risk_level: low | medium | high | critical
   priority: 1-10
   ---

3. The agent registry will auto-discover it on next execution!
