Anti-Drift
Overview
Prevent agent swarms from drifting away from the original task goal through hierarchical coordination, frequent checkpoints, and shared memory validation.
When to Use
- Long-running multi-agent orchestrations
- Tasks with high risk of scope creep
- When multiple agents work on related subtasks
- Critical tasks where deviation is costly
Anti-Drift Mechanisms
- Hierarchical Coordinator - Queen agent validates alignment at checkpoints
- Frequent Checkpoints - Every 2 subtasks (configurable)
- Shared Memory Coherence - Validate all agents see consistent state
- Short Task Cycles - Bounded execution windows prevent runaway agents
- Role Specialization - Agents stay within their assigned scope
Drift Scoring
0.0-0.1: Fully aligned, no intervention needed0.1-0.3: Minor drift, automatic correction0.3-0.5: Significant drift, checkpoint correction with logging0.5+: Critical drift, human escalation via breakpoint
