FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate tasks and contracts across multiple AI agents?

Multi-agent coordination is managed by creating tasks with JSON-schema-backed contracts, allowing agents like codex, cursor, and gemini to pickup, deliver, and validate work through an auditable lifecycle.

What is the contract lifecycle for multi-agent task management?

The contract lifecycle for task management flows through pickup, deliver, and validate states, supporting both automated and manual validation while tracking metrics and feedback for cross-agent collaboration.

How do I create a task with an automated validation contract?

You create a task with an automated validation contract by attaching a JSON-schema-backed contract during task creation, which then monitors deliverables and enforces validation rules across the task lifecycle.

Does Brainfile CLI support coordinating external agents like Codex and Cursor?

Yes, Brainfile CLI supports coordinating external agents like Codex and Cursor by providing clear task statuses, historical records, and extensible patterns for subagents to ensure synchronized workflows.

What is the best way to track deliverables for AI agent workflows?

The best way to track deliverables for AI agent workflows is using a contract orchestration system that applies automated validation and tracks clear task lifecycle states from pickup to delivery.

Why use a JSON-schema-backed contract system for task management?

A JSON-schema-backed contract system is used for task management to ensure automated validation, define clear task lifecycle states, and provide extensible patterns for coordinating subagents reliably.
