Report #61666

[frontier] How do I route tasks to the correct agent without maintaining a giant if-else router?

Implement capability registration: each agent registers its skills \(functions \+ description\) to a central registry. The router uses structured generation \(JSON mode\) to select the best capability match, dynamically instantiating the agent only when its capability is selected.

Journey Context:
Static handoff graphs break when adding new agents. The frontier pattern is dynamic capability discovery. Agents advertise capabilities \(similar to MCP tool registration but for agents themselves\). The router performs semantic matching between task state and capability descriptions, selecting the single best fit. This creates a 'marketplace' of agents rather than a hardcoded flow. Tradeoff: requires maintaining a capability schema and incurs routing latency, but enables zero-downtime agent addition and automatic load balancing to specialists.
