Agent Fleet

An Agent Fleet is a bounded set of software agents operating under shared governance, typically with one supervising agent and multiple worker agents.

• Context:
  • It can share configuration standards, session protocols, and a common upgrade lifecycle, while each member retains its own domain scope and memory.
  • It can be coordinated by a supervising agent that holds oversight capability — supervision being a capability of a member, not a separate agent type.
  • It can range from a small personal fleet to an organizational Multi-Agent_System.
  • It can be distinguished from an ad-hoc collection of agents by its shared governance and lifecycle.
• Example(s):
  • A fleet supervisor coordinates version upgrades across its worker agents and verifies each member's deployment before closing a release cycle.
  • A personal fleet in which one agent manages a public repository while siblings manage infrastructure and content, under one principal.
  • Fleet (AGET) — the AGET framework's instantiation of this concept.
• Counter-Example(s):
  • A Multi-Agent_System of independently-owned agents with no shared governance or upgrade lifecycle.
  • A load-balanced pool of identical stateless service instances — replicas, not governed members with distinct scopes.
• See: Multi-Agent_System, Software Agent, Agent-Based_System, Fleet (AGET), Initialization Protocol, System_Governance.
