Agent Adapter System
Status: 🔄 In Progress
Version: Future
Last Updated: November 15, 2025
Overview
Unified agent interface for easier backend integration, enabling seamless integration of new agent frameworks into MassGen’s multi-agent orchestration system.
Feature Description
Goal
Create a standardized adapter interface that allows any agent framework to integrate with MassGen without requiring deep modifications to the core orchestration logic.
Key Components
- Abstract Agent Interface
- Standardized method signatures for agent initialization, execution, and response handling
- Common message format across all backends
- Unified error handling and state management
- Framework-Specific Adapters
- Convert framework-specific APIs to MassGen’s standard interface
- Handle backend-specific features (streaming, tool calling, multimodal inputs)
- Maintain compatibility with existing configurations
- Dynamic Backend Discovery
- Auto-detect available agent frameworks
- Load adapters dynamically based on configuration
- Support for custom adapter plugins
Benefits
- Easier Integration: Add new agent frameworks with minimal code changes
- Maintainability: Isolate framework-specific logic from core orchestration
- Flexibility: Support multiple backends in single workflow
- Community Growth: Enable community-contributed adapters
Test Strategy
Unit Tests
- Test adapter interface compliance for each backend
- Verify message format conversion accuracy
- Validate error handling and edge cases
Integration Tests
- Run existing case studies with new adapter system
- Test multi-backend workflows (e.g., GPT + Claude + Gemini)
- Verify backward compatibility with existing configs
Validation Criteria
- ✅ All existing backends work through adapter system
- ✅ New backend can be added in <100 lines of code
- ✅ No performance degradation vs. direct integration
- ✅ Community adapter example documented
Implementation Notes
See ROADMAP.md for detailed development track and timeline.
- AG2 Framework Integration (v0.0.28) - Current external framework example
- Backend expansion (v0.1.9) - Added multiple provider support
