Multi-agent review

Run specialists concurrently, critique their findings, and synthesize one result.

Import this workflow from AkôFlow Hub

Open the public README and measured execution results. The Hub includes the execution capture, activity metrics, logs and version history. Reading public results does not require an account.

In Desktop, choose Create workflow → Import from Hub and paste this version-specific URI:

akoflow://hub/publications/1bed32d8-cf60-487b-b4d3-663aed054202/versions/1

Download the exact workflow YAML (v1). Configure the runtime prerequisites below before planning and executing it.

Run this example locally

Run three independent local reviewer programs in parallel: statistical review, independent numeric recomputation, and domain-bound checks. A critic checks agreement and accepts or corrects a supplied mean before the synthesis is published. The reviewers are deterministic programs rather than hosted LLM agents.

Install Go and Python 3.12 or newer.

git clone https://github.com/UFFeScience/akoflow-examples.git &&
cd akoflow-examples &&
git checkout --detach d890c3171e3661890305b763b8fc3ede48bb61b4 &&
cd agentic-workflows/multi-agent-review &&
./prepare.sh &&
./run.sh

Run the block from the directory where you keep your repositories. If you already cloned the repository, enter this example's directory and run ./prepare.sh && ./run.sh.

Preparation downloads the Go module and any declared Python packages once. The workload then runs locally with offline input data. Every meaningful step is a separate process; independent activities run in parallel after their dependencies complete.

Read outputs/manifest.json for the generated artifacts, outputs/dag-validation.json for dependency waves, and outputs/stage-<activity>.json for each activity's observed result. A failed stage stops the run and prevents a successful final manifest.

Expected outputs: synthesis.md, review.json.

Run the same activities in Desktop

Start your local AkôFlow daemon with Docker available and configure AKOFLOW_API_TOKEN in your shell. From this example's directory, run:

go run ../../tools/daemon-local -root ../.. -example agentic-workflows/multi-agent-review

This command validates the daemon connection, builds the declared image, registers the local environment and workflow, and submits a real run. The daemon owns execution and file transfers. Open the printed run ID in Desktop to inspect each activity.

Multi-agent review. Nodes in the same column can run in parallel once their dependencies complete.

Source bundle

The executable workflow and its implementation files are maintained in the separate AkôFlow examples repository. The documentation intentionally keeps code, container recipes, generators, and validation scripts out of the narrative page.

Execution evidence

Verified on local Docker: 7/7 activities completed. These captures belong to run showcase-multi-agent-review-local-bc9322e8eb-run-20261020t191421.886742000.

Execution considerations

Synthesis waits for terminal specialist states or an explicit partial-result policy. Models and resources may differ by role.

AkôFlow boundary: the engine schedules, deploys, executes, transfers data, and records evidence. The ML or agent framework remains an implementation choice inside each activity.
