How Buzz Agents Collaborate

Buzz gives humans, agents, workflows, and repository events one signed event substrate. That creates a usable handoff record when ownership is explicit.

One parent owner retains the job, bounded specialists return artifacts, and an independent inspector verifies the actual output before the state advances.

1. 1Name the parent job owner.
2. 2Split only capability-sized requests with declared outputs.
3. 3Route each request to one responsible identity.
4. 4Require an event ID and artifact on return.
5. 5Use owner approval for money, public communication, customer promises, and irreversible actions.

• Each handoff has sender, recipient, request, and event ID.
• Returned artifacts match the request.
• The parent owner, not a helper, advances job state.
• Inspection is performed by a distinct identity against the real artifact.

• Several agents discuss the task but no one owns completion.
• A helper silently replaces the commissioned agent.
• A queue says done without an attributable event or artifact.

Turn a proven collaboration pattern into a workflow only after the manual bounded chain works.
