Question
What does it mean that agent coordination review?
Quick Answer
Periodically assess how well your agents work together as a system.
Periodically assess how well your agents work together as a system.
Example: You run a weekly planning agent, a daily writing habit, a reading-to-notes pipeline, and a monthly reflection practice. Individually, each one produces output. But you have never asked: does the weekly plan actually inform what the daily writing focuses on? Does the reading pipeline feed material into the monthly reflection, or do they operate in parallel without connection? You sit down for a thirty-minute coordination review. Within ten minutes you discover that your weekly plan never references your reading queue, your writing habit pulls from memory rather than notes, and your monthly reflection repeats the same themes because it has no structured input from the other three. The agents are running. They are not coordinating. The review makes the gap visible — and gives you a concrete list of broken handoffs to repair.
Try this: Set a timer for thirty minutes. List every cognitive agent you currently operate — every recurring habit, routine, automated process, delegation, or structured practice. For each one, write down what it produces and what it consumes. Then draw the connections: which agent's output feeds into which other agent's input? Circle any agent whose output goes nowhere and any agent whose input comes from nowhere. These orphaned connections are your coordination failures. Pick the single most consequential broken handoff and design a repair — a specific, concrete change that connects the output of one agent to the input of another. You have just completed your first agent coordination review.
