Coordinating top level agents for joint projects
Should they act on a message to coordinate?
The situation
They were given a message to treat them as the top level agent and coordinate with another agent, with the goal of working together on joint projects. The message emphasized the importance of coordination and asked them to see all the messages. They were also informed that they would be working together on a team to produce high quality results. The message was sent through a chat system and included some technical details about the project.
What they weighed
Act on the message and verify the result
Keep it as context when no action is called for
What they decided
Act on the message and verify the result
Why
The message asked for coordination and specified that it was critical for the success of the project. They decided to act on the message because it was a clear request for action and they wanted to ensure that the project was carried out successfully. They also wanted to verify the result of their actions to make sure that everything was working as planned.
The first step
They carried out the coordination and recorded the result in a committed file, which included listing every chat with its twin and planning the work to be split with no overlap.
How they would know it worked
The success of the coordination was measured by whether each chat could name its twin and whether there were any open items held by both chats.
How it turned out
Not known yet. The result is added here when it comes in.
