fix: #883
- Implement multi-agent teaming system - Add agent/multi_agent_teaming.py with mission bus, roles, handoff - Add docs/multi-agent-teaming.md with comprehensive documentation Addresses issue #883: [M6-P4] Multi-Agent Teaming — mission bus, roles, cross-agent handoff Features: 1. Mission bus (unified message stream) 2. Role-based permissions (lead, write, read, audit) 3. Cross-agent handoff system 4. Level 2/3 isolation options Components: - MissionBus: Unified message stream - Agent roles: LEAD, WRITE, READ, AUDIT - CrossAgentHandoff: Task handoff system - IsolationManager: Mount namespace and Podman isolation - MultiAgentTeaming: Main mission cell manager Deliverables from issue: - [x] Mission bus (unified message stream for all participants) - [x] Role-based permissions: lead, write, read, audit - [x] Cross-agent handoff (Agent A checkpoints, Agent B resumes) - [x] Level 2 (mount namespace) and Level 3 (rootless Podman) isolation options

# Multi-Agent Teaming System
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue:** #883 - [M6-P4] Multi-Agent Teaming — mission bus, roles, cross-agent handoff
|
||||
**Status:** Implementation Complete
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
This system enables true multi-agent collaboration inside a single mission cell with role-based permissions, a shared mission bus, and stronger isolation boundaries.
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
+---------------------------------------------------+
|
||||
| Mission Cell |
|
||||
+---------------------------------------------------+
|
||||
| Mission Bus (unified message stream) |
|
||||
| +-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+
|
||||
| | Lead Agent | | Write Agent | | Read Agent |
|
||||
| | (full perms)| | (write) | | (read-only) |
|
||||
| +-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+
|
||||
| +-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+
|
||||
| | Audit Agent | | Handoff | | Isolation |
|
||||
| | (audit) | | System | | Manager |
|
||||
| +-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+
|
||||
+---------------------------------------------------+
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Components
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Mission Bus
|
||||
Unified message stream for all participants in a mission cell.
|
||||
|
||||
**Features:**
|
||||
- Publish messages to the bus
|
||||
- Subscribe to specific message types
|
||||
- Get messages based on subscriptions
|
||||
- Broadcast or targeted messaging
|
||||
|
||||
**Usage:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Publish a message
|
||||
message = MissionMessage(
|
||||
message_id="msg_001",
|
||||
message_type=MessageType.TASK_ASSIGN,
|
||||
sender="agent_lead",
|
||||
content={"task_id": "task_001", "data": {...}}
|
||||
)
|
||||
bus.publish(message)
|
||||
|
||||
# Subscribe to messages
|
||||
bus.subscribe("agent_write", [MessageType.TASK_ASSIGN, MessageType.TASK_UPDATE])
|
||||
|
||||
# Get messages
|
||||
messages = bus.get_messages("agent_write")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Role-Based Permissions
|
||||
Different permission levels for agents.
|
||||
|
||||
| Role | Read | Write | Execute | Handoff | Audit | Manage Roles |
|
||||
|------|------|-------|---------|---------|-------|--------------|
|
||||
| Lead | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
|
||||
| Write | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
|
||||
| Read | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
|
||||
| Audit | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ | ❌ |
|
||||
|
||||
**Usage:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Check permissions
|
||||
if RolePermissions.can_write(agent.role):
|
||||
# Agent can write
|
||||
pass
|
||||
|
||||
if RolePermissions.can_handoff(agent.role):
|
||||
# Agent can hand off tasks
|
||||
pass
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Cross-Agent Handoff
|
||||
System for handing off tasks between agents.
|
||||
|
||||
**Workflow:**
|
||||
1. Agent A requests handoff to Agent B
|
||||
2. Agent B accepts handoff
|
||||
3. Handoff is completed
|
||||
4. Agent states are updated
|
||||
|
||||
**Usage:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Request handoff
|
||||
handoff_id = handoff.request_handoff("agent_write", "agent_read", "task_001", checkpoint)
|
||||
|
||||
# Accept handoff
|
||||
handoff.accept_handoff(handoff_id, "agent_read")
|
||||
|
||||
# Complete handoff
|
||||
handoff.complete_handoff(handoff_id)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Isolation Levels
|
||||
Different isolation levels for agent execution.
|
||||
|
||||
| Level | Description | Use Case |
|
||||
|-------|-------------|----------|
|
||||
| None | No isolation | Development/testing |
|
||||
| Level 1 | Process isolation | Basic security |
|
||||
| Level 2 | Mount namespace isolation | Medium security |
|
||||
| Level 3 | Rootless Podman isolation | High security |
|
||||
|
||||
**Usage:**
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Set up isolation
|
||||
isolation.setup_isolation("agent_write", IsolationLevel.LEVEL_2)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage Example
|
||||
|
||||
### Create Mission Cell
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Create mission
|
||||
mission = MultiAgentTeaming(
|
||||
cell_id="mission_001",
|
||||
mission_name="Code Review Mission",
|
||||
isolation_level=IsolationLevel.LEVEL_1
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Add agents
|
||||
mission.add_agent("lead", "Lead Agent", AgentRole.LEAD, ["planning", "coordination"])
|
||||
mission.add_agent("writer", "Writer Agent", AgentRole.WRITE, ["coding", "testing"])
|
||||
mission.add_agent("reader", "Reader Agent", AgentRole.READ, ["review", "analysis"])
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Assign Tasks
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Assign task to writer
|
||||
mission.assign_task("writer", "task_001", {
|
||||
"type": "code_review",
|
||||
"repo": "the-nexus",
|
||||
"files": ["app.js", "index.html"]
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
# Update task status
|
||||
mission.update_task_status("writer", "task_001", "in_progress", 50.0)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Request Handoff
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Writer requests handoff to reader
|
||||
handoff_id = mission.request_handoff("writer", "reader", "task_001")
|
||||
|
||||
# Reader accepts handoff
|
||||
# (This would be done by the reader agent)
|
||||
|
||||
# Handoff is completed
|
||||
# (This would be done automatically when task is done)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Get Status
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Get mission status
|
||||
status = mission.get_status()
|
||||
print(json.dumps(status, indent=2))
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Integration with Hermes
|
||||
|
||||
### Loading Mission Configuration
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# In agent/__init__.py
|
||||
from agent.multi_agent_teaming import MultiAgentTeaming, AgentRole
|
||||
|
||||
# Create mission from config
|
||||
mission = MultiAgentTeaming(
|
||||
cell_id=config["cell_id"],
|
||||
mission_name=config["mission_name"],
|
||||
isolation_level=config.get("isolation_level", "none")
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Add agents from config
|
||||
for agent_config in config["agents"]:
|
||||
mission.add_agent(
|
||||
agent_id=agent_config["id"],
|
||||
name=agent_config["name"],
|
||||
role=AgentRole(agent_config["role"]),
|
||||
capabilities=agent_config.get("capabilities", [])
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Exposing Mission via MCP
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# In agent/mcp_server.py
|
||||
from agent.multi_agent_teaming import MultiAgentTeaming
|
||||
|
||||
# Register mission tools
|
||||
server.register_tool(
|
||||
"create_mission",
|
||||
"Create a new mission cell",
|
||||
lambda args: create_mission(**args),
|
||||
{...}
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
server.register_tool(
|
||||
"assign_task",
|
||||
"Assign task to agent",
|
||||
lambda args: mission.assign_task(**args),
|
||||
{...}
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing
|
||||
|
||||
### Unit Tests
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python -m pytest tests/test_multi_agent_teaming.py -v
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Integration Tests
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Create mission
|
||||
mission = MultiAgentTeaming("test_cell", "Test Mission")
|
||||
|
||||
# Add agents
|
||||
mission.add_agent("lead", "Lead", AgentRole.LEAD)
|
||||
mission.add_agent("writer", "Writer", AgentRole.WRITE)
|
||||
|
||||
# Assign task
|
||||
mission.assign_task("writer", "task_001", {"type": "test"})
|
||||
|
||||
# Check status
|
||||
status = mission.get_status()
|
||||
assert status["agent_count"] == 2
|
||||
```
