Domain: adapt · Model class: cheap
Description
Section titled “Description”Use when a user wants agent task assignment to emerge from agent availability signals rather than central dispatch. Triggers: “decentralised agent coordination”, “quorum sensing”, “agents that self-organise”, “emergent task assignment”, “no central scheduler”, “agents claim tasks when ready”, “load-based routing”. Also trigger when a user has 5+ agents and is frustrated that a central orchestrator is a bottleneck or single point of failure, or when someone wants a workflow that scales horizontally without redesign.
Purpose
Section titled “Purpose”Each agent emits signal {specialisations, load, quality_recent}. Quorum listener aggregates signal_sum=Σ(quality_recent×(1-load)) for matching agents. When signal_sum≥quorum_threshold, broadcast task.
