AI SummaryA multi-agent architecture that organizes AI agents into a hierarchy (Architect, Planner, Executor) to decompose and solve complex problems through structured delegation. Developers building sophisticated AI systems that require task decomposition and specialized agent roles will benefit from this reusable framework.

I want to set up the "Hierarchical Agent System" agent in my project. Please run this command in my terminal: # Add AGENTS.md to your project root curl --retry 3 --retry-delay 2 --retry-all-errors -o AGENTS.md "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AntonTegnelov/agentic_problem_solver/main/docs/explanation/hierarchical_agents.md" Then explain what the agent does and how to invoke it.
Description
An multi-agent AI problem solver
Overview
The hierarchical agent system is a protocol-based architecture that organizes agents into a structured hierarchy with specialized roles. This design enables more effective task decomposition, delegation, and execution compared to a single-agent approach. The system follows a top-down structure where higher-level agents break down complex tasks and delegate them to specialized agents with specific capabilities.
Key Capabilities
• Parent-Child Relationships: Register, retrieve, and manage parent-child connections between agents • Hierarchical Queries: Find parent, child, and sibling agents • Capability-Based Discovery: Locate agents with specific capabilities • Agent Hierarchy Visualization: Generate a complete view of the agent hierarchy
Agent Roles
The hierarchical system defines three primary agent roles:
1. Architect Agent (`ArchitectAgent`)
• Purpose: High-level system design and task decomposition • Responsibilities: • Breaking down complex problems into major components • Making architectural decisions • Delegating component implementation to Planner Agents • Ensuring overall system coherence • Capabilities: System design, architecture planning, component identification • Position in Hierarchy: Top-level agent, parent to Planner Agents
