System Architecture
The proposed system is a multi-agent framework where each agent is tailored to a specific role, coordinated by an Orchestrator agent. The architecture ensures collaboration, scalability, and adaptability to industry-specific requirements. Below is a detailed breakdown of each agent's responsibilities and capabilities, followed by the orchestration mechanism.

Orchestrator Agent
The Orchestrator agent serves as the central coordinator, managing the workflow and ensuring seamless interaction among agents. Its key functions include:
- Task Decomposition: Breaks down high-level project goals into actionable tasks.
- Task Delegation: Assigns tasks to appropriate agents based on their capabilities.
- Progress Tracking: Monitors agent progress and maintains a task ledger to track facts, plans, and outcomes.
- Error Handling: Detects stalls or errors (e.g., failed tests) and triggers corrective actions, such as re-planning or reassigning tasks.
- Knowledge Sharing: Maintains a shared knowledge base accessible to all agents, containing project data, domain knowledge, and historical outcomes.
The Orchestrator operates using a dual-loop mechanism, inspired by systems like Magentic-One:
- Outer Loop: Updates the task ledger with high-level plans and facts.
- Inner Loop: Manages real-time progress and agent assignments, ensuring tasks are completed efficiently.
