You can validate agent delegation patterns by running a script that checks downward delegation, upward escalation, and agent references within a specified directory to ensure a valid tree structure.

Circular dependencies break escalation paths. Validation detects these invalid loops by verifying that delegation and escalation paths form a correct tree structure without circular references.

To check if delegate and escalate targets exist, run a validation script that confirms reference accuracy across the agent structure, ensuring all specified targets are actually present.

You need to test agent escalation paths after updating the agent structure or adding new agents, ensuring all delegation rules remain intact and the communication hierarchy stays sound.

No external dependencies are required to test agent hierarchy. The validation runs using provided shell scripts and references to check delegation patterns and escalation paths.

The best way to verify proper downward delegation is by testing hierarchy validation, which checks that agents correctly assign tasks to appropriate lower-level agents and escalate to higher-level agents.
