Juliaz Multi Agent Optimize

juliaz-multi-agent-optimize — Multi-Agent Coordination

Optimize how Julia's agents work together. Adapted from agent-orchestration-multi-agent-optimize.

Use this skill when

• Improving coordination between orchestrator, frontend, OpenClaw, or bridge
• Fixing routing issues (messages not arriving, wrong agent handling request)
• Reducing latency in the message flow
• Designing new inter-agent communication paths

Do not use this skill when

• Optimizing a single agent's prompt or tool (use juliaz-agent-improve or juliaz-tool-builder)
• Debugging infrastructure (use juliaz-debug)
• Building a new agent (use juliaz-agent-builder)

Key Principles

1. Minimal Inter-Agent Communication Overhead

Every hop adds latency. The bridge path (POST → queue → poll → process → POST → poll) adds 5-10 seconds. Only route through the bridge when necessary (actions requiring orchestrator tools). Keep conversational responses direct.

2. Single Orchestrator Brain

Don't duplicate Julia into multiple independent agents with overlapping tools. The orchestrator is the brain. Other interfaces (frontend, Telegram via OpenClaw) should route action requests to it.

3. Reuse Existing Endpoints

The bridge already has POST /incoming, GET /consume, POST /reply, GET /pending-reply/:chatId. Don't create new protocols — use these.

4. Clear Message Routing via chatId Convention

Optimization Checklist

When adding a new inter-agent path:

• Does it reuse existing bridge endpoints?
• Is the chatId convention clear and non-overlapping?
• Does the receiver know how to identify the source (username, chatId prefix)?
• Is there a timeout with a clear error message?
• Does the existing flow (Telegram → bridge → orchestrator → bridge → Telegram) still work?
• Is the response consumed after delivery (no stale replies)?

Latency Budget

Cost Awareness

When routing through the orchestrator, the frontend adds a second LLM call (orchestrator processes the request). This is acceptable for actions but wasteful for simple questions — hence the hybrid approach.
