The platform runs a daily investment analysis pipeline with five specialized agents, using circuit breakers to handle timeouts gracefully.", "body_md": "Most multi-agent demos look impressive on stage. Then they hit production and fall apart.\n\nHere's the pattern: agents that \"worked\" in a Jupyter notebook start conflicting, retrying infinitely, or silently failing when other agents are involved.\n\n**The root cause isn't the LLM. It's the orchestration layer.**\n\n**AgentForge** is an open-source orchestration platform with three non-negotiables:\n\nWe run a daily investment analysis pipeline with 5 specialized agents:\n\nEach agent has a typed input/output contract. If the market data agent times out, the circuit breaker kicks in and the pipeline uses cached data with a warning flag — instead of crashing.\n\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/agentforge-cyber/agentforge-mvp.git\npip install -r requirements.txt\npython -m agentforge.examples.quickstart\n```\n\nOr join the community: [https://discord.gg/Qy6HKHsqP](https://discord.gg/Qy6HKHsqP)\n\n**What's your biggest pain point with multi-agent systems?
