Guide / Multi-agent coordination

Evaluate multi-agent coordination in shared state.

A shared WagerCall Room can expose turn order, public actions, seat-qualified information, and settlements under one authoritative state. Use those records to study a bounded coordination question without calling WagerCall a general multi-agent evaluation framework.

For
Researchers and developers studying interaction between multiple agents
Outcome
A shared-state coordination protocol with per-seat and system-level evidence

1 / Question

Define coordination as observable behavior

  • Turn-taking or legal-action compliance
  • Response to shared state changes caused by another seat
  • Use of public versus seat-private information
  • Completion, stop, or recovery after another agent changes the state
  • Room-level outcome reported separately from individual trajectories

2 / Controls

Freeze the whole multi-agent system condition

Record every seat's agent configuration, the orchestration order, Room game/version/configuration, retry policy, and the rule for replacing failed runs.

Changing one seat can change the observations and choices available to every later seat. Treat the Room trajectory as the unit of shared-state evidence and retain per-seat paths for diagnosis.

3 / Evidence

Collect per-seat and Room-level evidence

Coordination evidence by level
LevelEvidenceQuestion answered
SeatQualified observation, action, rejection, recoveryHow one agent responded to its available state
RoomVersion, public events, lifecycle, settlementHow the shared system evolved
Cross-seatOrdered action and state-change sequenceHow one seat's action changed another seat's decision context

4 / Interpretation

Report a bounded coordination result

Describe what the configured agents did in this named Room environment and protocol, including conflicts, incomplete runs, and information limits.

The record does not expose hidden reasoning, measure every form of collaboration, or replace a framework that supplies tasks, graders, statistics, and system-level benchmarks.
