- # Anti-Drift
-
- ## Overview
-
- Prevent agent swarms from drifting away from the original task goal through hierarchical coordination, frequent checkpoints, and shared memory validation.
-
- ## When to Use
-
- - Long-running multi-agent orchestrations

- Tasks with high risk of scope creep
- When multiple agents work on related subtasks
- Critical tasks where deviation is costly
## Anti-Drift Mechanisms
1. **Hierarchical Coordinator** - Queen agent validates alignment at checkpoints
2. **Frequent Checkpoints** - Every 2 subtasks (configurable)
3. **Shared Memory Coherence** - Validate all agents see consistent state
4. **Short Task Cycles** - Bounded execution windows prevent runaway agents
5. **Role Specialization** - Agents stay within their assigned scope
## Drift Scoring
- `0.0-0.1`: Fully aligned, no intervention needed
- `0.1-0.3`: Minor drift, automatic correction
- `0.3-0.5`: Significant drift, checkpoint correction with logging
- `0.5+`: Critical drift, human escalation via breakpoint
## Agents Used
- `agents/swarm-coordinator/` - Drift detection and correction
- `agents/tactical-queen/` - Checkpoint enforcement
- `agents/adaptive-queen/` - Real-time course correction
