Report #96185

[frontier] Task routers in multi-agent systems use boolean tool-availability checks or keyword matching, leading to suboptimal agent selection for nuanced tasks and poor load balancing across specialized agents

Implement semantic affinity routing: have agents publish embeddings of their successful execution traces \(not just tool lists\) to a shared registry; the router embeds incoming tasks and routes to agents with highest cosine similarity to past successful traces, enabling soft matching of capability to requirement

Journey Context:
Boolean routing \(can this agent use a calculator?\) ignores skill gradations \(is this agent good at calculus vs arithmetic?\). Semantic affinity captures implicit expertise from execution history. The tradeoff is storage of trace embeddings and cold-start for new agents. This pattern is emerging in 'expert agent swarms' where agents self-organize by capability similarity rather than hardcoded topology, similar to semantic load balancing in microservices but for cognitive tasks.
