Communication Protocols: Messages, Shared State, and Contracts
Why free-form chat fails
If agents talk in long natural language, the team becomes inconsistent and hard to debug. Use message contracts.
Message schema
Example:
{"task_id":"...","result":...,"confidence":0.82,"evidence":[]}
Shared state
Use a shared store (DB / memory service) for goals, progress, and artifacts. Don’t rely on chat history alone.
