Report #88443
[architecture] Single-agent execution of complex tasks leads to compounding errors because there is no validation step before the next agent acts
Implement a Generator-Validator pattern where a second agent evaluates the output against the original constraints before passing it to the next step in the pipeline.
Journey Context:
One agent generates, the next consumes. If the generator hallucinates, the consumer propagates the error. A dedicated validator agent checks the exact constraints \(e.g., 'Does this code compile?', 'Are these IDs real?'\). Tradeoff: doubles token cost and latency, but catches hallucinations early. Using a cheaper/faster model for validation can mitigate cost.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
