TL;DR

GenCoord is introduced, which turns the task consequence of private facts into an executable skill-path commitment, and identifies executable task consequences as the coordination unit connecting distributed local reasoning to verified joint action.

Abstract

Suppose one embodied agent knows what must be built, while its teammate alone knows which transformation its workcell can perform. Neither local view determines who should act, what should be handed off, or how the joint task should continue. We introduce GenCoord, which turns the task consequence of such private facts into an executable skill-path commitment. A local Qwen3.5-0.8B model emits a multi-step SELF plan and peer REQ; bounded feedback conditions route revision when the deciding capability is peer-local. The resolved commitment is parsed, checked, canonically materialized, compiled to Mineflayer skills, and verified by handoff and terminal state. Counterfactual interventions that hold the world, call schedule, and executor unchanged make requester revision and receiver execution follow the injected task consequence in both directions. Across three independently trained seeds, correct capability feedback closes the paired local-information gap from 50% to 100%. Multi-step commitments improve held-out-template success by 6.9 points while reducing model decisions by 32%. At matched closed-loop quality on 128 held-out semantic clusters, Short DSL reduces peer traffic by 92.8% and median time-to-commitment by 68.2% relative to controlled free-form communication. These results identify executable task consequences as the coordination unit connecting distributed local reasoning to verified joint action.

The Delegation Danger Band: Why Mid-Capability Sub-Agents Over-Trust Inherited Stale State

Agent frameworks increasingly delegate work by forking sub-agents; a common default makes the child inherit the parent's full working context. We measure how the effect of inherited state changes with capability, where $C_m$ denotes clean fork-fresh accuracy. We compare 3 inheritance policies: Reset (fork fresh: base e...

Collective Counterfactual Planning: Coordination, Consent, and Verification under Representational Constraints

Groups routinely complete projects that no single member can plan, execute, or verify alone. We propose a formal model of this phenomenon, Collective Counterfactual Planning (CCP), in which the binding limitation on each agent is neither capability, knowledge, nor observability, but representational geometry: each agen...

How Do Agent Harnesses Create Value? Planning Information and Release Control in Stateful LLM Agents

Which component matters more depends on the loss assigned to erroneous acceptance: at low liability the planning gain dominates; at high liability the verifier's avoided false passes dominate; and a standalone verifier captures nearly all the false-pass benefit of the full planning-plus-verification stack at a fraction...

How Strongly Should Task State Influence an LLM Agent?

Across three models, two reasoning regimes, and two domains, four findings hold without per-turn reasoning: displaying accurate state is unreliable, an unverified ledger the agent writes itself beats an accurate checklist it is shown, directives help in proportion to the model's obedience, and enforcement needs no obed...
