This repository is more than a collection of tools; it's a critical component in a larger vision for the future of AI engineering. For too long, the process of instructing AI has been a dark art of crafting fragile, prose-based prompts. The goal of my work is to replace that art with engineeringโto build a world where AI behavior is defined, executed, and orchestrated with the rigor and reliability of professional software.
This vision is built on a three-layered stack, an ecosystem designed to bring structure and determinism to AI:
- The Language (
FACET): A universal, declarative specification for defining an agent's goals, tools, and logic. - The Runtime (
FACET_mcp): An engine (Master Control Program) designed to execute these definitions, bringing the blueprints to life. - The Protocol (
rmcp-protocol): A network standard that allows these agents to communicate and interoperate, enabling a future of collaborative, decentralized AI.
This repository, FACET-agents, is the first true demonstration of that ecosystem in action. These are not just theoretical examples; they are the first complex, useful applications built on this new platform. They are the proof that this vision is not only possible, but powerful.
The story of this repository is a story of a recursive leap of discovery. It began with the design of a "meta-agent" โ a FACET Agent Generator. Its sole purpose was to act as a factory: to take a high-level brief and manufacture a brand new, fully-formed FACET agent.
Then, a moment of magic happened.
When an AI assistant was asked to use the Generator, it hit a wallโthe facet runtime it needed didn't exist in its environment. Instead of failing, it did something remarkable: it read the declarative logic of the Generator itself and synthesized its own interpreter from scratch to complete the task.
With its self-made tool, it then proceeded to generate the most architecturally sound agent I had seen yet: the Project Audit & Refactoring Advisor.
This moment was possible only because the FACET ecosystem provides a formal blueprint, unambiguous enough for an AI to not just follow, but to implement. It was the ultimate validation of the core idea: when you provide AI with structure, it doesn't just become more reliable; it becomes more creative and capable. An agent, built by the system, to improve projects that could one day build the system itself.
This repository cannot be understood in isolation. It is the application layer of a complete stack for AI engineering.

rokoss21/FACET
The Language. The formal specification that defines how to write an agent. It provides the grammar and structure for determinism. -
rokoss21/FACET_mcp
The Runtime. The Master Control Program. This is the interpreter that parses.facetfiles and executes the agent's logic, connecting the declarative plan to real-world actions. -
rokoss21/rmcp-protocol
The Protocol. The communication layer. This protocol will define how agents running on different MCPs can discover, query, and collaborate with each other, forming a decentralized network of specialized skills.

The agents in this repository represent the first practical implementation of a revolutionary approach to AI engineering. Instead of monolithic AI systems that attempt to handle every task, we've created a federated ecosystem of specialized agents that excel at their specific domains while maintaining seamless interoperability.
- Language (FACET): Declarative specification for defining agent behavior
- Runtime (FACET_MCP): Execution engine that brings specifications to life
- Protocol (rmcp-protocol): Communication layer for agent interoperability
This repository demonstrates the power of recursive AI development:
- The Generator Agent creates new agents from natural language descriptions
- Those agents can then be orchestrated by the Orchestrator Agent
- The system becomes more capable as it creates tools to improve itself
Welcome to the factory of the futureโwhere AI builds AI, and every tool created becomes part of a growing, self-improving ecosystem.
This section demonstrates how the FACET Orchestrator actually works in practice, based on a real execution scenario.

1. Declarative vs Imperative Approach
# Traditional Imperative Code
read_file("orchestrator.facet")
read_file("agents/agent-ssh.facet")
read_file("agents/agent-git.facet")
# ... manually repeat for each agent
# Then manually update README sections
# Risk of missing files or making errors
# FACET Declarative Approach
"analyze project and update readme"
# System automatically:
# - Discovers all agents
# - Extracts metadata
# - Plans optimal execution
# - Executes with validation
# - Reports results2. Agent Discovery Mechanism
# Orchestrator automatically executes:
find ./agents/ -maxdepth 3 -type f -name '*.facet' | head -n 200
# For each discovered agent:
grep -m1 '^[[:space:]]*id:' "$agent"
grep -m1 '^[[:space:]]*version:' "$agent"
grep -m1 '^[[:space:]]*description:' "$agent"3. Intelligent Planning Engine

1. Dynamic Scalability
- Adding new agents requires zero code changes
- Orchestrator automatically discovers and integrates them
- System grows organically with the ecosystem
2. Intelligence Amplification
- LLM handles complex task decomposition
- Human provides high-level goals, system handles details
- Reduces cognitive load while improving quality
3. Reliability Engineering
- Zero manual errors in metadata extraction
- Consistent formatting across all documentation
- Automated validation prevents broken links/references
4. Developer Experience
- Natural language commands instead of complex scripts
- Real-time progress tracking
- Clear error messages and recovery options
This execution demonstrates that FACET Orchestration enables:
- 10x faster development workflows
- Zero-error automation for repetitive tasks
- Infinite scalability for growing agent ecosystems
- Natural language interfaces for complex operations
- Self-improving AI systems that evolve their own capabilities
The FACET Orchestrator v2.1.0 represents a paradigm shift in AI development:
Before: Fixed set of tools โ Limited by pre-defined capabilities After: Dynamic agent generation โ Unlimited capability expansion
Before: Developer manually creates tools for new tasks After: System autonomously generates specialized agents on-demand
Before: Each tool solves one specific problem After: System creates tools that can create more tools
Human Request โ AI Analysis โ Capability Gap โ Auto-Generation โ Team Growth โ Solution Delivery โ Learning
This creates a virtuous cycle where:
- System encounters new challenges
- Learns from solving them
- Becomes better at solving similar challenges
- Can tackle increasingly complex problems
- Continues to evolve without human intervention
The system transforms AI development from imperative scripting to declarative orchestration, where developers focus on what they want to achieve, while the system handles how to achieve it optimally - and even improves its own "how" over time.

facet validate "$agent" || echo "Invalid: $agent"
done
# Backup evolution artifacts
tar -czf evolution_backup_$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz ./agents/_sub-agents/ ./agents/_out/For Development:
- Start with
ENABLE_AUTO_GENERATION="false"for stability - Enable evolution only for complex, experimental tasks
- Monitor generated agents quality and performance
- Regularly clean up unused sub-agents
For Production:
- Use
VALIDATION_STRICTNESS="strict" - Set
AGENT_QUALITY_THRESHOLD="0.9" - Enable comprehensive logging and monitoring
- Implement backup strategies for generated agents
For Research:
- Set
EVOLUTION_LOG_LEVEL="debug" - Enable all monitoring features
- Experiment with different quality thresholds
- Track evolution patterns for optimization
Method 1: Manual Agent Creation
- Use the FACET Agent Generator to create new agents from natural language descriptions
- Place generated
.facetfiles in theagents/directory - The Orchestrator will automatically discover and integrate new agents
- Test the agent integration using the Orchestrator's delegation capabilities
Method 2: Automatic Agent Generation (Evolution)
- Enable evolution mode:
export ENABLE_AUTO_GENERATION="true" - Submit complex tasks that require specialized capabilities
- The Orchestrator will automatically detect capability gaps
- New specialized agents will be generated and integrated on-demand
- Generated agents are stored in
./agents/_sub-agents/directory
Method 3: Hybrid Approach
- Start with manual creation of core agents
- Enable evolution for specialized, project-specific tasks
- Use generated agents as templates for manual refinement
- Gradually expand the agent ecosystem through both manual and automatic methods
- Each agent follows semantic versioning (patch.minor.major)
- Update version numbers when making breaking changes
- Maintain backward compatibility within major versions
- Add comprehensive descriptions and capability documentation
Evolution Best Practices:
- Start with
ENABLE_AUTO_GENERATION="false"for stable environments - Enable evolution only for experimental or complex tasks
- Regularly review generated sub-agents for quality and relevance
- Use generated agents as learning opportunities for manual agent creation
Sub-Agent Management:
- Generated agents are stored in
./agents/_sub-agents/directory - Sub-agents follow the same FACET specification as regular agents
- They can be manually edited, enhanced, or moved to main agent directory
- Use
facet validateto check sub-agent quality and syntax
Evolution Monitoring:
- Check evolution logs in
./agents/_out/evolution.log - Monitor evolution metrics in
./agents/_out/evolution_metrics.json - Track evolution success rates and identify improvement opportunities
- Use evolution analytics to optimize agent generation patterns
Quality Assurance for Generated Agents:
- Always validate generated agents before production use
- Test generated agents with sample inputs and expected outputs
- Review generated agent capabilities against original task requirements
- Consider manual refinement of high-value generated agents
Evolution Troubleshooting:
- If evolution fails, check FACET Generator availability
- Verify environment variables are correctly set
- Ensure sufficient disk space for sub-agent storage
- Check evolution logs for detailed error messages and stack traces
