LiteMultiAgent

Coordinates multiple LLM-based agents with distinct roles and responsibilities, routing tasks to appropriate agents based on their specialization. Implements agent registry pattern where each agent maintains its own system prompt, tools, and state, enabling parallel execution and hierarchical task decomposition across a team of specialized agents rather than a single monolithic LLM.

Enables agents to invoke external tools and APIs through a schema-based function registry that maps tool definitions to callable functions. Agents receive tool schemas in their context, generate function calls based on task requirements, and the framework handles parameter binding, execution, and result injection back into the agent's context for downstream reasoning.

Supports decomposition of complex tasks into subtasks that can be distributed across multiple agents in hierarchical workflows. The framework provides task specification patterns, enables parent agents to delegate subtasks to child agents, manages task dependencies, and aggregates results from subtasks into final outputs.

Maintains conversation history and agent state across multiple interactions, allowing agents to reference previous exchanges and build context over time. The framework manages message buffers per agent, implements sliding window or summarization strategies to keep context within token limits, and enables agents to access historical context when making decisions.

Abstracts LLM interactions behind a unified interface that supports multiple providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, local models via Ollama, etc.). Agents interact with a provider-agnostic API, and the framework handles provider-specific request formatting, response parsing, and error handling, enabling agents to switch providers without code changes.

Executes agent tasks with support for streaming LLM responses, allowing real-time output delivery to users as agents generate responses token-by-token. The framework manages streaming state, buffers partial responses, and provides hooks for processing streamed content before final output, enabling responsive user experiences without waiting for complete agent responses.

Manages agent execution state including current task, tool results, and reasoning chain within isolated execution contexts. Each agent maintains its own state namespace, preventing cross-agent interference while enabling state inspection and debugging. The framework tracks execution flow, maintains execution logs, and provides state snapshots for monitoring and troubleshooting.

Formats agent responses into structured outputs with consistent formatting, enabling downstream processing and integration. The framework supports multiple output formats (JSON, plain text, markdown), validates response structure against expected schemas, and provides formatting hooks for customizing agent output before delivery to users or downstream systems.

Implements error handling mechanisms for agent failures including LLM errors, tool call failures, and timeout scenarios. The framework provides retry logic with exponential backoff, fallback strategies, and error recovery hooks that allow agents to gracefully degrade functionality or attempt alternative approaches when primary operations fail.

Enables fine-grained control over agent behavior through customizable system prompts that define agent personality, expertise, constraints, and reasoning style. Each agent can have a distinct system prompt that shapes its responses, tool usage patterns, and decision-making approach, allowing developers to specialize agents for specific roles without code changes.

Enables communication between agents through message passing mechanisms, allowing agents to share information, request assistance from other agents, and coordinate on complex tasks. The framework manages message routing between agents, maintains message queues, and provides message formatting standards for inter-agent communication.
