Reddit user proposes an adaptive specialist-hierarchy agent architecture that creates and reuses experts
Stringsoftruth · reddit · 2026-10-13
A Reddit user proposes an "adaptive specialist hierarchy" agent architecture: a generalist coordinator delegates tasks to domain specialists, which can spawn sub-specialists when no suitable expert exists and creating one is cheaper than handling the task directly. Specialists report incompetence upward for reassignment, and limited cross-branch links let experts consult each other directly. The author asks whether existing systems already work this way and what flaws the design has.
