The Multi-Agent Architecture That Actually Ships
summary
Claims a reproducible production pattern: a five‑strategy taxonomy composed into a three-role architecture (orchestrator, workers, validators) that enforces validation contracts, structured handoffs, and adversarial verification. Factory production data shows a Slack clone run with missions where 60% of time and tokens go to implementation, validation rarely passes first try, 50% of final lines are tests with 90% coverage, and the longest mission runs 16 days (target 30) by favoring serial execution with targeted parallel reads.
