Context Engineering for Multi-Agent Systems
By :
The core challenge addressed in this chapter was the rigidity of predefined workflows. The goal was to create an advanced controller that can dynamically plan and execute complex tasks by reasoning about the tools at its disposal. The journey began with building the Planner, which acts as the strategic core, creating a step-by-step recipe to achieve a goal. We then constructed the Executor, the operational manager that carries out the plan. Finally, a Tracer was included to ensure the entire process is transparent and debuggable.
The key innovation introduced was the planning phase. Here, the Planner consults an Agent Registry, a toolkit describing the capabilities of each specialist agent (Librarian, Researcher, Writer). Armed with this knowledge, the Planner uses an external LLM to generate a custom, multi-step JSON plan tailored to the user's specific high-level goal. This separates the what to do from the how to do it. The Executor then follows the JSON plan, calling...
