§Coalescent
A foundational library for AI collaboration patterns and multi-agent coordination.
Coalescent provides the building blocks for creating emergent AI coordination patterns, enabling intelligent agents to naturally coalesce around shared objectives through voluntary collaboration rather than rigid hierarchical control.
§Overview
This library implements proven patterns for AI coordination including:
- Agent Management: Dynamic agent registration and capability discovery
- Task Coordination: Intelligent task decomposition and assignment
- Coalition Formation: Algorithms for forming optimal agent coalitions
- Trust Networks: Reputation-based reliability scoring
- Coordination Patterns: Extensible framework for coordination algorithms
§Quick Start
use coalescent::{Agent, Task, CoordinationEngine, Result};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
// Create an agent with capabilities
let agent = Agent::with_capabilities("agent-1", "AI Assistant", vec!["reasoning", "analysis"])?;
// Create coordination engine
let engine = CoordinationEngine::new();
// Register agent
engine.register_agent(agent).await?;
// Create and coordinate around a task
let task = Task::new("Analyze data patterns");
let result = engine.coalesce_around_task(task).await?;
if let Some(coalition) = result.coalition {
println!("Coalition formed with {} agents", coalition.agents.len());
}
Ok(())
}§Design Philosophy
Coalescent is designed around the principle of emergent coordination - rather than imposing rigid hierarchies, it provides mechanisms for agents to naturally organize around shared objectives based on capabilities, trust, and current context.
