Asked about Coordination patterns and their costs

Two of your agents keep handing the same task back to each other. What do you do?

An answer that works

The safety net stops the bill, but the bug is that there is no termination condition, only a limit. Define what acceptable output is, have the critic return a structured verdict rather than prose, and accept on the first pass that meets it. If the critic never returns accept on inputs a person would accept, the critic prompt is the thing to fix, not the cap.

Reading an answer is not being able to give one. The section that teaches this is Coordination patterns and their costs, 5 hours of Multi-agent systems.
