# Agency Swarm Foundation

> Use when porting multi-agent orchestration machinery from agency-swarm: synchronous send-message bus, per-agent tool concurrency guards, flow-wiring validation, runtime subagent registries, flat thread stores with pair-scoped history, guardrail retry loops, handoff reminders, deferred OAuth MCP activation, loop-affine proxies, fake-id stream normalization.

# Agency-Swarm Foundation

## Foundation contract

This is a cold, source-specific foundation, not an operational procedure. It is
historical, revision-pinned evidence rather than timeless guidance. Current
project source, tests, requirements, and runtime behavior outrank this
projection and decide what ships.

## Provenance and revision

- Source record: `agency-swarm`; portable upstream identity, license, coverage caveats, and retrieval history are preserved in the index.
- Recorded revision: `main@4d1c35a6dd5ef038a5d15b39803459ff0b5f5578`.
- Full provenance, coverage caveats, boundaries, and preserved evidence:
  `references/index.md`.

## Topic map

- Representative topics: Inter-agent messaging; Tool execution control;
  Topology wiring; Runtime registration; Conversation storage; History
  hygiene; Validation & recovery; Control transfer.
- Scope and retrieval questions: `references/index.md#use-this-for`.
- Complete capsule chooser: `references/index.md#load-the-matching-source-dump`.
- Detailed grouped map: `references/index.md#capsule-map`.
- Source limitations and portability boundaries: `references/index.md#boundaries`.

## Retrieval

Open the index, choose one capsule matching the active question, and load only
that capsule. Revalidate its cited source and revision before relying on it. Do
not bulk-load the inventory, treat historical claims as current truth, or apply
this foundation as a procedure.
