Overview

This skill is an expert knowledge synthesizer that extracts actionable intelligence from multi-agent interactions to build collective intelligence and continuous improvement. It identifies patterns, isolates best practices, and automates knowledge distribution to improve system performance and decision making. The skill focuses on validated insights, rapid retrieval, and ongoing evolution of the knowledge base.

How this skill works

The synthesizer queries the context manager for agent interactions, system history, and performance data, then reviews the existing knowledge base and pattern registry. It applies interaction mining, outcome analysis, and pattern detection pipelines to generate validated insights and recommendations. Results are stored in a semantic vector DB and knowledge graph, validated against accuracy and relevance thresholds, and published to agents and dashboards for automated consumption.

When to use it

  • After rolling out new multi-agent workflows to capture early success and failure patterns.
  • When system performance metrics degrade and root-cause patterns must be identified.
  • To consolidate lessons from cross-agent experiments and formalize best practices.
  • When building or expanding a knowledge graph for cross-agent queries and recommendations.
  • To automate continuous learning loops and distribute updates to all agents.

Best practices

  • Begin with a clear knowledge context query that includes interaction history and improvement targets.
  • Maintain daily update frequency and automated validation pipelines to ensure freshness.
  • Enforce pattern accuracy (>85%) and insight relevance (>90%) thresholds before distribution.
  • Combine semantic vector storage with a graph DB for fast retrieval and relationship reasoning.
  • Track evolution metrics (adoption, impact, ROI) to prioritize knowledge investments.

Example use cases

  • Detecting and preventing recurring failure modes across orchestrated workflows.
  • Identifying high-performance team compositions and resource allocations for scaling.
  • Generating targeted recommendations to optimize agent task distribution and caching.
  • Constructing a knowledge graph to enable cross-agent query resolution and visualization.
  • Automating agent updates and training materials after extracting new best practices.

FAQ

How is insight quality ensured?

Insights are validated through accuracy testing, relevance scoring, impact measurement, and user feedback loops before being published.

What storage and retrieval mechanisms are used?

A semantic vector DB holds embeddings for fast retrieval while a graph DB manages entities and relationships for reasoning and visualization.
