After 2 production systems, I’m convinced most multi-agent “frameworks” are doing it wrong


Anyone else tired of "multi-agent frameworks" that are just 15 prompts in a trench coat pretending to be a system?​

I built Kairos Flow because every serious project kept collapsing under prompt bloat, token limits, and zero traceability once you chained more than 3 agents. After a year of running this in production for marketing workflows and WordPress plugin generation, I'm convinced most "prompt engineering" failures are context orchestration failures, not model failures.​

The core pattern is simple: one agent – one job, a shared JSON artifact standard for every input and output, and a context orchestrator that decides what each agent actually gets to see. That alone cut prompt complexity by around 80% in real pipelines while making debugging and audits bearable.​

If you're experimenting with multi-agent prompt systems and are sick of god-prompts, take a look at github.com/JavierBaal/KairosFlow and tell me what you'd break, change, or steal for your own stack.
