The Coordination Layer: Multi-Agent OS

Running multiple agents and still babysitting every handoff?

You built the team. But without coordination infrastructure, you are the router. Tasks get stuck. Agents duplicate work. Nothing logs itself. You check in manually to find out what happened.

---

What The Coordination Layer does: Gives your agent team a shared operating system with auto-routing, watchdog retries, and a central audit trail.

What you get:

• Task Dispatcher: auto-assigns queued tasks to agents by role, patches status on completion
• Team Watchdog: detects stuck agents by timeout, retries automatically, escalates when retries run out
• Timeline Sync: logs every task completion, fix, deployment, and system event to a central record
• ops.sh: one CLI entry point to create tasks, update statuses, query active work, and log events
• Multi-agent communication protocol: @mention routing, escalation rules, thread-based coordination
• Active Tasks JSON schema: structured task tracking readable by all agents
• Setup Guide and Customization Guide included

---

Your dispatcher picks up a new task. Scout gets assigned research. Quill gets assigned writing. Both finish independently. Timeline logs both. You wake up to completed work, not a pile of questions.

Watchdog catches that SamDev has been stuck on a deploy for 40 minutes. Retries once. Retries twice. Escalates to Nova on the third failure. You never had to notice.
