What problem does it solve?
Prevent silent multi-agent failures by ensuring a parent/orchestrator does not treat a subagent’s claims as ground truth without verification, especially for irreversible actions.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Shape and budget validation: Reject malformed or out-of-scope returns (e.g., non-JSON or schema mismatches) before reading content.
- Hallucination defenses: Cross-check high-impact claims like filenames, URLs, quotes, and numerical statements against real artifacts.
- Refusal handling and bounded retry: Treat refusals as signals, refine the brief once, cap retries, and decide fallback/escalation after failures.
- Partial-result recovery: Use successful fan-out outputs while separately surfacing failures, then deduplicate/aggregate before judging.
- Decision audit trail: Log the parent’s accept/retry/reject decisions with reasons per subagent call for debugging and accountability.
Quick Start
Use the forge-subagent-eval skill when your orchestrator receives a subagent response and you must verify whether to accept, retry with a sharper brief, or fall back instead of acting irreversibly.
