worker-protocol

Coordinating orchestrated workers requires a standardized workflow protocol that defines session structures, task lifecycles, and traceable executions. This protocol uses a centralized session directory model with phases and tasks to ensure predictable worker behavior and auditable progress.

A session directory model is a standardized folder structure containing session, phases, and tasks directories at the project root. It provides predictable worker behavior by guiding progress with task files and session structures for safe, auditable multi-agent execution.

Recording trajectory logs and blockers involves updating task files within the session directory structure. The workflow protocol specifies interface contracts for task status updates, progress logs, and design-direction notes to enable reliable collaboration and traceable handoffs between orchestrator and workers.

Yes, this worker protocol for multi-agent coordination operates without external dependencies. It relies solely on a standardized session directory structure and interface contracts to clarify responsibilities and handoffs between the orchestrator and specialized worker agents.

The best way to structure project handoffs is to apply a standardized workflow protocol that defines interface contracts for task files and blockers. This clarifies responsibilities between the orchestrator and workers, ensuring safe and auditable execution during task decomposition.
