The logic that made multi-agent setups work: separation of duties with producer and critic roles

A Reddit user shares the logic that made multi-agent setups work: borrowing 'separation of duties' from auditing and peer review. The setup uses Claude Fable as orchestrator and two Opus instances as producer and critic. Core rules include: producer never audits own work, critic starts from raw sources, objections must be verifiable, producer must respond to every objection, and bounded rounds with human/orchestrator tiebreak. Practical details include file-based communication and source attachment. The author argues adversarial process beats smarter agents.
