Overview
Currently agents run in parallel without direct communication — they only share context through the orchestrator and final synthesis. A2X (Agent-to-Agent Exchange) would let agents message each other mid-task to share intermediate findings, ask clarifying questions, or hand off work.
How it should work
- An agent can emit a structured message:
{ to: 'agent-id', type: 'query' | 'handoff' | 'share', content: '...' }
- The receiving agent gets the message prepended to its next prompt
- The canvas shows a live animated arrow between the two nodes when a message is sent
Benefits
- Researcher can share a key finding with the Analyst before finishing its full output
- Coder can ask the Reviewer a clarifying question mid-implementation
- Planner can redirect a worker if the task scope changes
Architecture notes
multiAgentEngine.ts — executeWorkers() runs workers concurrently via Promise.all; A2X would require a shared message bus (e.g. a Map<agentId, string[]>) polled between streaming chunks- Canvas already renders
messages array — extend with type field to show different arrow styles
