Anti-Drift

Overview

Prevent agent swarms from drifting away from the original task goal through hierarchical coordination, frequent checkpoints, and shared memory validation.

When to Use

  • Long-running multi-agent orchestrations
  • Tasks with high risk of scope creep
  • When multiple agents work on related subtasks
  • Critical tasks where deviation is costly

Anti-Drift Mechanisms

  1. Hierarchical Coordinator - Queen agent validates alignment at checkpoints
  2. Frequent Checkpoints - Every 2 subtasks (configurable)
  3. Shared Memory Coherence - Validate all agents see consistent state
  4. Short Task Cycles - Bounded execution windows prevent runaway agents
  5. Role Specialization - Agents stay within their assigned scope

Drift Scoring

  • 0.0-0.1: Fully aligned, no intervention needed
  • 0.1-0.3: Minor drift, automatic correction
  • 0.3-0.5: Significant drift, checkpoint correction with logging
  • 0.5+: Critical drift, human escalation via breakpoint

Agents Used

  • agents/swarm-coordinator/ - Drift detection and correction
  • agents/tactical-queen/ - Checkpoint enforcement
  • agents/adaptive-queen/ - Real-time course correction
