Report #86101

[frontier] Maintaining hundreds of static agents for edge cases creates operational sprawl

Generate agent definitions \(system prompts, tool schemas\) dynamically at runtime using a metagen layer that compiles task-specific ephemeral agents and destroys them post-execution

Journey Context:
Static agents for 'invoice\_processing', 'refund\_handling' etc. lead to maintenance hell. Generic agents lack precision. The emerging pattern \(LangGraph Functional API 2025, Vercel AI SDK 4.0 'agents'\) treats agents as compiled functions. A metagen layer takes the task input, selects capability primitives \(tools, memory stores, guardrails\), compiles them into a temporary agent process, executes, then garbage collects. This provides the precision of specialized agents with the maintenance overhead of zero.
