Supervisor / Orchestrator Agent
A top-level routing agent that inspects incoming tasks, assigns them to specialized worker agents, and compiles final results.
Why it exists
Prevents chaos in multi-agent networks by providing a single manager that maintains global state and task assignments.
How it works
Inspects task state -> Selects worker agent -> Hands off control -> Receives worker result -> Decides next step or finishes.
