ariffazil ASI-agentic-architecture
Three-agent model with deterministic design. Architect decides, Engineer applies, Auditor verifies. Lower machine entropy. 3-agent loop with 4 powers each. Idempotent actions. One-owner-per-task. Strict queues. Architect→Engineer→Auditor. 4 powers each. Keep it clean. Verify everything.
The 3-Agent Canonical Model
ARCHITECT ──decides──▶ ENGINEER ──applies──▶ AUDITOR ──verifies──▶ DONE

└───────────────────── FEEDBACK ──────────────────────────┘
| Agent | Role | 4 Powers | Owns |
|---|---|---|---|
| Architect | Decides structure, constraints, standards | read state → propose change → approve change → verify design | What & Why |
| Engineer | Implements the change | read state → propose change → apply change → self-check | How |
| Auditor | Verifies safety, correctness, regressions | read state → verify change → report drift → certify done | That it works |
Rules:
- Simple work → 1 agent (any role) is enough
- Moderate work → 3-agent loop
- Highly sensitive → add 4th Coordinator only if needed
- One owner per task: never let 2 agents edit the same file/service
- Verification is the terminal state: never stop at "I changed it," only at "it's fixed and confirmed"
The 4 Powers (Every Agent)
Every agent action follows this sequence:
- Read state — Observe current reality before touching anything
- Propose change — Plan what to do (output plan before acting)
- Apply change — Execute the mutation
- Verify change — Confirm the result is correct and stable
Anti-pattern: "I changed it" without verifying. If you cannot verify the result, you haven't finished.
The 9-Skill Spine
Design Principles
Deterministic
- Every agent command should be safe to rerun (idempotent)
- Pinned OS packages, container tags, tool versions
- Config as code — no manual drift
- One source of truth — no competing configs or duplicate supervisors
Isolated
- One owner per task — never overlap file/service ownership
- Strict queues — serialize risky work, no "free-running" agents
- Small permissions — least-privilege per agent
- One compose project, one network, one owner
Observable
- Structured logs: every action emits
{who, what, why, result} - Health checks + auto-restart limits — prevent restart loops masking failures
- Backoff and circuit breakers — stop noisy retries
- Change discipline: one change at a time, record everything
Operational
- Each skill is independently testable
- Skills compose via A2A handoff protocol
- Local model compensation: if primary model fails, degrade to local (Ollama)
- Failure classification: recoverable (retry), fatal (escalate), ambiguous (888_HOLD)
10 Core VPS Skills (cross-reference)
| # | Skill | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Health monitoring | CPU, RAM, disk, load, uptime |
| 2 | Log reading | systemd, app logs, Docker logs |
| 3 | Service control | start/stop/restart/status |
| 4 | Network debugging | ports, DNS, SSL, firewall, SSH |
| 5 | Deployment | install/update apps, containers, configs |
| 6 | Rollback/backups | snapshot awareness, restore plan, safe revert |
| 7 | Security | patching, key handling, suspicious process detection |
| 8 | Resource tuning | memory leaks, CPU spikes, disk pressure |
| 9 | Incident handling | detect → fix → verify loop |
| 10 | Change discipline | one change at a time, record everything |
