Beforegeneric AI agent
Running multiple agents requires coordination to avoid conflicts and ensure they work together effectively. You need to define what each agent's role is and how they communicate with each other. Consider creating a shared context that all agents can access. Use standardized message formats so agents understand each other. Set up error handling for when an agent fails or gives conflicting advice. You might want to run agents sequentially or in parallel depending on the task. Testing with a few scenarios helps ensure the setup works correctly.
Afterwith Agent Protocol
AGENT PROTOCOL SETUP: C-SUITE BOARD MEETING
COMPOSITION
Board meeting analysis: 3 agents
• CFO Agent (Financial analysis, modeling, risk)
• COO Agent (Operations, execution, timeline)
• CMO Agent (Go-to-market, revenue, brand)
INVOCATION SYNTAX
Step 1: Initialize multi-agent session
/board-sync --agenda "Q3 spending strategy" --date 2026-08-15
Triggers CFO, COO, CMO sequentially
Step 2: Each agent receives context block
agent_id: cfo-001
task: Analyze proposed Q3 budget of $2M, assess ROI assumptions
constraints: Max response time 5 min, JSON output, refer to CMO output
Step 3: Agent loops execute in order
Loop 1 - CFO first (financial foundation)
Input: Business context, Q3 targets
Output: Budget allocation, risk flags, assumptions
Loop 2 - COO after CFO
Input: CFO output, operational constraints
Output: Execution plan, resource needs, bottlenecks
Loop 3 - CMO after COO
Input: CFO budget, COO timeline
Output: Go-to-market plan, revenue model, risks
LOOP PREVENTION
Isolation rule: Agents read prior outputs but cannot re-invoke agents
Circular dependency check: If CMO asks for COO re-run, request rejected
Escalation: Human decides trade-offs
RESPONSE FORMAT (All agents follow)
json
{
agent_id: cfo-001,
timestamp: 2026-08-15T10:30:00Z,
task: Analyze Q3 budget and ROI,
recommendation: Approve $2M with conditions...,
assumptions_made: [Revenue 15% YoY, CAC stable $120],
dependencies_on_other_agents: [{agent: CMO, field: revenue_target}],
conflict_flags: [{agent: COO, issue: Timeline conflict}],
next_steps: [Human review, CMO can proceed]
}
CONFLICT RESOLUTION
Scenario A: CFO and CMO disagree on CAC budget
Identify in JSON conflict_flags
Capture both positions
Flag for human decision
Provide trade-off analysis
Scenario B: COO timeline infeasible for CMO
CFO notes dependency
CMO flags impossibility
Protocol stops; human resolves
Options: Extend timeline, increase resources, reduce scope
ERROR HANDLING
• Agent timeout (>5 min): Return partial analysis + flag
• Missing dependency: Retry once, escalate
• Conflicting facts: Log both, flag for human review
OUTPUT STRUCTURE (After all agents complete)
1. Executive summary (recommendation + key trade-offs)
2. Agent analyses (CFO, COO, CMO sections)
3. Conflict resolution (if any disputes)
4. Next steps (decision needed, follow-up actions)
5. Audit trail (who said what, when, assumptions)About this skill
