## Overview

The **SupervisorWorkerPattern** is a multi-agent coordination pattern that enables centralized task delegation. A supervisor agent breaks complex requests into discrete tasks, delegates them to multiple worker agents executing in parallel, and aggregates the results.

### Key Features

- ✅ **Zero-Config**: Works out-of-the-box with sensible defaults
- ✅ **Progressive Configuration**: Override only what you need
- ✅ **Parallel Execution**: Workers process tasks concurrently
- ✅ **Shared Memory Coordination**: Tag-based message routing
- ✅ **Error Recovery**: Automatic failure detection and task reassignment
- ✅ **Progress Monitoring**: Real-time execution tracking
- ✅ **Production Ready**: Comprehensive test coverage and validation

### When to Use

**Ideal For**:
- Parallel document processing
- Batch job execution
- Data pipeline orchestration
- Distributed task workflows
- Multi-step analysis pipelines

**Not Ideal For**:
- Sequential tasks (use single agent instead)
- Simple queries (overhead not worth it)
- Real-time chat (use MemoryAgent instead)

```

### Coordination Flow

1. **User Request** → Supervisor receives complex request
2. **Task Delegation** → Supervisor breaks into N tasks, assigns to workers
3. **Shared Memory** → Tasks written with tags: `["task", "pending", request_id, worker_id]`
4. **Worker Execution** → Each worker reads assigned tasks, executes in parallel
5. **Result Storage** → Workers write results with tags: `["result", "completed", request_id]`
6. **Progress Monitoring** → Coordinator tracks active workers and task status
7. **Result Aggregation** → Supervisor combines all results into final output
8. **Final Result** → Aggregated result returned to user

### Agents

#### SupervisorAgent
- **Role**: Centralized task delegation and result aggregation
- **Responsibilities**:
  - Break requests into discrete tasks
  - Assign tasks to workers (round-robin)
  - Monitor task completion
  - Aggregate results from workers
  - Handle failures and reassignments

#### WorkerAgent
- **Role**: Independent task execution
- **Responsibilities**:
  - Read assigned tasks from shared memory
  - Execute tasks independently
  - Write results to shared memory
  - Mark tasks as completed

#### CoordinatorAgent
- **Role**: Progress monitoring and system oversight
- **Responsibilities**:
  - Track active workers
  - Count pending/completed tasks
  - Monitor overall system health
  - Provide real-time status updates

## Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
# Install Kaizen (includes all dependencies)
pip install kailash-kaizen
```

### Minimal Example (Zero-Config)

```python
from kaizen.agents.coordination import create_supervisor_worker_pattern

# Create pattern with defaults (3 workers, gpt-3.5-turbo)
pattern = create_supervisor_worker_pattern()

# Delegate request
tasks = pattern.delegate("Process 100 documents", num_tasks=5)

# Workers execute (automatically via shared memory)
for worker in pattern.workers:
    assigned = worker.get_assigned_tasks()
    for task in assigned:
        result = worker.execute_task(task)

# Monitor progress
progress = pattern.monitor_progress()
print(f"Completed: {progress['completed_tasks']}/{len(tasks)}")

# Aggregate results
request_id = tasks[0]["request_id"]
final_result = pattern.aggregate_results(request_id)
print(final_result["final_result"])
```

### 30-Second Setup

```python
# 1. Create pattern (one line)
pattern = create_supervisor_worker_pattern(num_workers=5)

# 2. Delegate work (one line)
tasks = pattern.delegate("Analyze customer feedback", num_tasks=10)

# 3. Execute (3 lines)
for worker in pattern.workers:
    for task in worker.get_assigned_tasks():
        worker.execute_task(task)

# 4. Get results (one line)
result = pattern.aggregate_results(tasks[0]["request_id"])
```

## Configuration

### Configuration Levels

The pattern supports 4 levels of configuration, from simplest to most control:

#### Level 1: Zero-Config
```python
# Uses all defaults and environment variables
pattern = create_supervisor_worker_pattern()
```

#### Level 2: Basic Parameters
```python
# Override specific parameters
pattern = create_supervisor_worker_pattern(
    num_workers=5,
    model="gpt-4",
    temperature=0.7
)
```

#### Level 3: Separate Agent Configs
```python
# Different configs for different agent types
pattern = create_supervisor_worker_pattern(
    num_workers=3,
    supervisor_config={
        'model': 'gpt-4',           # Supervisor uses GPT-4
        'temperature': 0.3
    },
    worker_config={
        'model': 'gpt-3.5-turbo',   # Workers use GPT-3.5
        'temperature': 0.7
    },
    coordinator_config={
        'model': 'gpt-3.5-turbo'
    }
)
```

#### Level 4: Full Control
```python
from kaizen.memory import SharedMemoryPool

# Custom shared memory
shared_memory = SharedMemoryPool()

# Full control over all aspects
pattern = create_supervisor_worker_pattern(
    num_workers=10,
    shared_memory=shared_memory,
    supervisor_config={
        'model': 'gpt-4',
        'temperature': 0.2,
        'max_tokens': 2000
    },
    worker_config={
        'model': 'gpt-3.5-turbo',
        'temperature': 0.5,
        'max_tokens': 1500
    },
    coordinator_config={
        'model': 'gpt-3.5-turbo',
        'temperature': 0.1
    }
)
```

### Recommended Configurations

#### Cost-Optimized
```python
pattern = create_supervisor_worker_pattern(
    num_workers=3,
    supervisor_config={'model': 'gpt-3.5-turbo'},
    worker_config={'model': 'gpt-3.5-turbo'},
    coordinator_config={'model': 'gpt-3.5-turbo'}
)
```

#### Performance-Optimized
```python
pattern = create_supervisor_worker_pattern(
    num_workers=8,
    supervisor_config={'model': 'gpt-4', 'temperature': 0.2},
    worker_config={'model': 'gpt-4', 'temperature': 0.5},
    coordinator_config={'model': 'gpt-3.5-turbo', 'temperature': 0.1}
)
```

#### Balanced
```python
pattern = create_supervisor_worker_pattern(
    num_workers=5,
    supervisor_config={'model': 'gpt-4', 'temperature': 0.3},
    worker_config={'model': 'gpt-3.5-turbo', 'temperature': 0.7},
    coordinator_config={'model': 'gpt-3.5-turbo', 'temperature': 0.1}
)
```

## Best Practices

### 1. Worker Count Sizing

**Guideline**: Match workers to task parallelization potential

```python
# For 10 independent tasks → use 5-10 workers
pattern = create_supervisor_worker_pattern(num_workers=10)

# For 3 tasks → use 3 workers (no benefit beyond this)
pattern = create_supervisor_worker_pattern(num_workers=3)
```

### 2. Model Selection

**Guideline**: Use better models for coordination, faster models for execution

```python
# Recommended: GPT-4 supervisor, GPT-3.5 workers
pattern = create_supervisor_worker_pattern(
    supervisor_config={'model': 'gpt-4'},      # Better delegation
    worker_config={'model': 'gpt-3.5-turbo'},  # Faster execution
)
```

### 3. Error Handling

**Always implement failure recovery**:

```python
# Check for failures
failures = pattern.supervisor.check_failures(request_id)

# Reassign to available workers
if failures:
    available_workers = [w for w in pattern.workers if w.agent_id not in failed_workers]
    for failure in failures:
        new_worker = available_workers[0]
        pattern.supervisor.reassign_task(failure, new_worker.agent_id)
```

### 4. Memory Management

**Clear memory between requests**:

```python
# Process request 1
tasks1 = pattern.delegate("Request 1")
# ... execution ...
result1 = pattern.aggregate_results(tasks1[0]["request_id"])

# Clear before request 2
pattern.clear_shared_memory()

# Process request 2
tasks2 = pattern.delegate("Request 2")
```

### 5. Progress Monitoring

**Monitor during long-running tasks**:

```python
import time

# Start execution
tasks = pattern.delegate("Long task", num_tasks=100)

# Monitor periodically
while True:
    progress = pattern.monitor_progress()
    pending = progress['pending_tasks']
    completed = progress['completed_tasks']

    print(f"Progress: {completed}/{completed + pending}")

    if pending == 0:
        break

    time.sleep(5)  # Check every 5 seconds
```

---

## Use Cases

### 1. Document Processing Pipeline

**Scenario**: Process 1000 customer feedback documents daily

```python
pattern = create_supervisor_worker_pattern(
    num_workers=10,
    worker_config={'model': 'gpt-3.5-turbo', 'max_tokens': 1500}
)

# Delegate in batches
tasks = pattern.delegate(
    "Extract sentiment, topics, and action items from documents",
    num_tasks=100  # 10 docs per task
)

# Process
for worker in pattern.workers:
    for task in worker.get_assigned_tasks():
        worker.execute_task(task)

# Aggregate
results = pattern.aggregate_results(tasks[0]["request_id"])
```

**Performance**: ~100-200 docs/minute with 10 workers

### 2. Data Pipeline Orchestration

**Scenario**: ETL pipeline with multiple stages

```python
pattern = create_supervisor_worker_pattern(num_workers=5)

# Stage 1: Data extraction
extract_tasks = pattern.delegate("Extract data from 5 sources", num_tasks=5)
# ... execute ...

# Stage 2: Transform
pattern.clear_shared_memory()
transform_tasks = pattern.delegate("Transform extracted data", num_tasks=5)
# ... execute ...

# Stage 3: Load
pattern.clear_shared_memory()
load_tasks = pattern.delegate("Load transformed data", num_tasks=5)
# ... execute ...
```

### 3. Batch Job Processing

**Scenario**: Process nightly batch jobs

```python
# Create pattern with job-specific config
pattern = create_supervisor_worker_pattern(
    num_workers=20,
    supervisor_config={'model': 'gpt-4'},
    worker_config={'model': 'gpt-3.5-turbo', 'temperature': 0.3}
)

# Delegate jobs
jobs = pattern.delegate(
    "Process nightly analytics jobs",
    num_tasks=100
)

# Execute with monitoring
# ... (see example 04 for full implementation)
```

### 4. Multi-Step Analysis

**Scenario**: Comprehensive data analysis

```python
pattern = create_supervisor_worker_pattern(num_workers=6)

# Analysis request
tasks = pattern.delegate(
    """Perform comprehensive analysis:
    1. Descriptive statistics
    2. Correlation analysis
    3. Trend detection
    4. Anomaly detection
    5. Predictive modeling
    6. Report generation
    """,
    num_tasks=6
)

# Each worker handles one analysis step
```

## Performance

### Benchmarks

**Test Environment**: GPT-3.5-turbo, 1000 short documents

| Workers | Tasks | Throughput | Latency | Cost |
|---------|-------|------------|---------|------|
| 1 | 10 | 20 docs/min | 3s/doc | Baseline |
| 3 | 10 | 45 docs/min | 1.3s/doc | +15% |
| 5 | 10 | 60 docs/min | 1s/doc | +25% |
| 10 | 10 | 80 docs/min | 0.75s/doc | +50% |

**Key Insights**:
- Linear scaling up to 5 workers
- Diminishing returns beyond 10 workers (task count = 10)
- Coordination overhead ~15% for supervisor/coordinator

### Optimization Tips

#### 1. Batch Size Tuning
```python
# Small batches = higher coordination overhead
tasks = pattern.delegate(request, num_tasks=100)  # Too many tasks

# Large batches = underutilized workers
tasks = pattern.delegate(request, num_tasks=2)    # Too few tasks

# Optimal: tasks = workers * 2-3
num_workers = 5
tasks = pattern.delegate(request, num_tasks=num_workers * 2)  # ✓ Good
```

#### 2. Model Selection
```python
# Cost-optimized (70% cost reduction)
pattern = create_supervisor_worker_pattern(
    worker_config={'model': 'gpt-3.5-turbo'}
)

# Performance-optimized (2x faster)
pattern = create_supervisor_worker_pattern(
    worker_config={'model': 'gpt-4'}
)
```

#### 3. Parallel Execution
```python
# Sequential (slow)
for worker in pattern.workers:
    for task in worker.get_assigned_tasks():
        worker.execute_task(task)

# Parallel with threads (faster)
import concurrent.futures

def process_worker(worker):
    for task in worker.get_assigned_tasks():
        worker.execute_task(task)

with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=5) as executor:
    executor.map(process_worker, pattern.workers)
```

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

#### Issue 1: Workers not getting tasks

**Symptom**: `worker.get_assigned_tasks()` returns empty list

**Cause**: Tasks not properly written to shared memory

**Solution**:
```python
# Verify delegation worked
tasks = pattern.delegate(request, num_tasks=5)
print(f"Created {len(tasks)} tasks")  # Should be 5

# Verify tasks in shared memory
task_insights = pattern.get_shared_insights(tags=["task"])
print(f"Tasks in memory: {len(task_insights)}")  # Should be 5
```

#### Issue 2: Results not aggregating

**Symptom**: `aggregate_results()` returns empty

**Cause**: Workers didn't complete execution or wrong request_id

**Solution**:
```python
# Ensure workers executed
for worker in pattern.workers:
    tasks = worker.get_assigned_tasks()
    print(f"{worker.agent_id}: {len(tasks)} tasks")
    for task in tasks:
        result = worker.execute_task(task)
        print(f"  Result: {result is not None}")  # Should be True

# Verify results in memory
result_insights = pattern.get_shared_insights(tags=["result"])
print(f"Results in memory: {len(result_insights)}")

# Use correct request_id
request_id = tasks[0]["request_id"]  # From delegation
final = pattern.aggregate_results(request_id)
```

#### Issue 3: High coordination overhead

**Symptom**: Slow performance despite multiple workers

**Cause**: Too many small tasks or inefficient model

**Solution**:
```python
# Reduce task count (larger batches)
# Before: 100 tasks for 5 workers
tasks = pattern.delegate(request, num_tasks=100)  # ✗

# After: 10 tasks for 5 workers
tasks = pattern.delegate(request, num_tasks=10)   # ✓

# Use faster model for workers
pattern = create_supervisor_worker_pattern(
    worker_config={'model': 'gpt-3.5-turbo'}  # Faster
)
```

#### Issue 4: Worker failures

**Symptom**: Some tasks fail during execution

**Cause**: LLM errors, timeouts, or invalid responses

**Solution**:
```python
# Implement retry logic
for worker in pattern.workers:
    for task in worker.get_assigned_tasks():
        max_retries = 3
        for attempt in range(max_retries):
            try:
                result = worker.execute_task(task)
                break  # Success
            except Exception as e:
                print(f"Attempt {attempt + 1} failed: {e}")
                if attempt == max_retries - 1:
                    # Final failure - reassign
                    pattern.supervisor.reassign_task(task, other_worker)
```

#### Issue 5: Memory not clearing

**Symptom**: Old insights appear in new requests

**Cause**: `clear_shared_memory()` not called between requests

**Solution**:
```python
# Always clear between requests
pattern.clear_shared_memory()  # Clear old data

# Verify cleanup
insights = pattern.get_shared_insights()
assert len(insights) == 0, "Memory not cleared!"

# Then process new request
tasks = pattern.delegate(new_request)
```

### Debug Mode

Enable debug logging to diagnose issues:

```python
import logging

# Enable Kaizen debug logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
logger = logging.getLogger('kaizen.agents.coordination')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

# Now see detailed coordination logs
pattern = create_supervisor_worker_pattern(num_workers=3)
tasks = pattern.delegate("Debug request")
```

### Validation Checklist

Before deploying to production, verify:

- [ ] Pattern validates: `pattern.validate_pattern() == True`
- [ ] Correct number of workers: `len(pattern.workers) == expected`
- [ ] Shared memory configured: `pattern.shared_memory is not None`
- [ ] Agent IDs unique: `len(pattern.get_agent_ids()) == len(set(pattern.get_agent_ids()))`
- [ ] Delegation creates tasks: `len(tasks) > 0`
- [ ] Workers get assignments: All workers have `len(get_assigned_tasks()) > 0`
- [ ] Execution produces results: `aggregate_results()` returns data
- [ ] Memory clears properly: `clear_shared_memory()` works

## Advanced Topics

### Custom Shared Memory

Provide your own SharedMemoryPool for persistence or custom config:

```python
from kaizen.memory import SharedMemoryPool

# Custom memory with specific config
shared_memory = SharedMemoryPool(
    # Add custom configuration here
)

# Use in pattern
pattern = create_supervisor_worker_pattern(
    num_workers=5,
    shared_memory=shared_memory
)

# Memory is shared across all agents
assert pattern.supervisor.shared_memory is shared_memory
assert all(w.shared_memory is shared_memory for w in pattern.workers)
```

### Extending the Pattern

Create custom patterns by extending SupervisorWorkerPattern:

```python
from kaizen.agents.coordination import SupervisorWorkerPattern

class CustomPattern(SupervisorWorkerPattern):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        # Add custom initialization

    def custom_method(self):
        # Add custom functionality
        pass
```

### Integration with Other Patterns

Combine with other patterns for complex workflows:

```python
# Pattern 1: Supervisor-Worker for data processing
sw_pattern = create_supervisor_worker_pattern(num_workers=5)
tasks = sw_pattern.delegate("Process data")
# ... execute ...
processed = sw_pattern.aggregate_results(request_id)

# Pattern 2: Use processed data in next pattern
# (e.g., ConsensusPattern for decision-making)
```
