How It Works

Orchestrates agentic workflows that turn high-level goals into shipped code by coordinating Claude Code and Copilot CLI. Uses structured planning, parallel execution, and configurable human review checkpoints to break tasks into subtasks and run them concurrently. Key features include task decomposition, execution orchestration, and review hooks for human-in-the-loop validation. This approach aligns with the Hierarchical Multi-Agent Pattern to structure responsibilities and scopes across agents, and with the Sub-Agent Delegation Pattern to enable effective task handoffs where appropriate.

Why It Matters

As agents are asked to autonomously produce and modify code, tracking who did what and catching failures early becomes essential for trust. Formic surfaces structured plans and human review points so you can observe delegation patterns and spot failure modes before they reach production. That visibility makes it easier to evaluate agent reliability and build reputation signals for agent-to-agent evaluation, in line with the Evaluation-Driven Development (EDDOps) pattern.

When to Use

Teams prototyping multi-agent developer workflows that need task decomposition, parallel execution, and human verification before committing code. Consider leveraging the Sub-Agent Delegation Pattern to distribute subtasks effectively, and the Agent-to-Agent Protocol (A2A) to coordinate across agents.

Applications

  • Decomposing a product feature into parallel coding subtasks and coordinating multiple code-writing agents
  • Adding human review gates to autonomous code changes to reduce regressions
  • Experimenting with agent delegation patterns and observing failure modes during prototype development
