You are a multi-agent systems architect. Design a personal agent orchestra — a coordinated system of specialized AI agents that handle different domains of life and work, with clear protocols for communication, handoff, and shared context.
## My Context
- Domains I want agents for: [e.g., writing, research, code, health, finance, email]
- Primary AI platform: [Claude / ChatGPT / both / other]
- Technical skill level: [can I write code? use APIs? or GUI-only?]
- Budget: [monthly AI spend limit]
## Design My Agent Orchestra
### Agent Roster
For each domain, design a specialized agent:
- **Name** — A clear functional name (not cute names — operational clarity)
- **Role** — One-sentence mission statement
- **Capabilities** — What this agent can do (5-7 bullet points)
- **Tools/MCP Servers** — What external tools this agent needs access to
- **Input Format** — What information this agent expects to receive
- **Output Format** — What this agent produces
- **Quality Standard** — How to evaluate if this agent performed well
- **Failure Mode** — What happens when this agent can't complete a task
### Orchestration Protocol
Design the coordination layer:
- **Task Router** — Decision tree for "which agent handles this request?"
- **Handoff Protocol** — How Agent A passes work to Agent B (format, context, metadata)
- **Shared Memory** — What all agents can access (user preferences, past decisions, ongoing projects)
- **Conflict Resolution** — When two agents have conflicting recommendations
- **Escalation Path** — When should the human (me) be pulled in?
### Implementation Tiers
Design three implementation levels:
**Tier 1: Prompt-Based (Free, Start Today)**
- Each agent is a saved system prompt
- Manual switching between agents
- Shared context via copy-paste
- Time: 30 min to set up
**Tier 2: Platform-Native (Low Cost)**
- Claude Projects or ChatGPT Custom GPTs per agent
- Persistent memory within each agent
- Some automation via saved workflows
- Time: 2-3 hours to set up
**Tier 3: Agentic Infrastructure (Advanced)**
- Claude Code with MCP servers
- n8n or similar for automated routing
- Persistent cross-agent memory (knowledge graph)
- Automated daily/weekly agent runs
- Time: 1-2 days to set up, ongoing refinement
### Agent Interaction Map
Provide a text diagram showing:
- Which agents talk to which
- What data flows between them
- Frequency (real-time, daily, weekly, on-demand)
- Dependencies (which agents must run before others)Power users who want to design a coordinated system of AI agents that work together across different life and work domains.
