Chief
The master scheduling agent in a multi-agent collaboration system, responsible for task decomposition, worker scheduling, result aggregation, and takeover mechanisms. It belongs to the decision-making layer of the Supervisor-Worker architecture.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The Chief-and-Worker combination is a typical Supervisor-Worker multi-agent architecture pattern; its advantage lies in clear responsibilities and controllable conflicts, but the cost is that it places very high demands on the Chief's decomposition ability and judgment of task boundaries.
The 'take over' mechanism mentioned in the article is intended to handle the question of control ownership when multiple command sources coexist, avoiding instruction conflicts.
In the livestream, the developer had the Chief directly launch three Workers to handle three UI improvement requirements respectively: display the agent count as a circle to avoid overlapping with the name, group the right panel by Tab, and remove redundant icons from the top Tab.
Developers can connect to the Mac mini through Asklock, so they can keep advancing the project even with only a phone at hand; Asklock's multi-panel layout allows multiple terminal sessions to be opened at once, one running the Chief and one running Codex, without interfering with each other.
