DIOS2

DIOS2 is a multi-agent orchestration framework that mirrors how real engineering organizations work. Instead of one AI doing everything, DIOS2 creates a hierarchy of specialized agents - from Executives setting strategy, to Technical Leads planning implementation, to Field Agents executing with verification.

This isn't a demo or research project. DIOS2 was used to build DarkOps, with comprehensive tracking of every agent's work, timestamp logs, and verification at each stage.

Each subphase flows: CIPHER (init) → PLANNER → CODER/UX_WIZARD → TESTER → DEEPVERIFY → COMMITTER → CIPHER (complete)

• AMA (Ask Me Anything): Question-answering for each agent's domain expertise. Example: "AMA TESTER: How do I test authentication systems?"
• DO (Execute): Task execution requests for specific agents. Example: "DO PLANNER: Create implementation plan for login feature"
• CXT (Context): Context management and knowledge synchronization. Example: "CXT SYNC CEO CTO" to share strategic context
• HELP: Documentation and usage assistance for each agent. Example: "HELP CODER" for implementation guidance
• EXPLAIN: Request explanations about processes, decisions, or artifacts. Example: "EXPLAIN DEEPVERIFY: Why was this security approach chosen?"
• CALL: Orchestration command that activates the next appropriate agent in workflow. Automatically selects based on phase status and task assignments.

• File-Based Architecture: All state and communication tracked in markdown files. 872 files, 324,920 lines, fully version-controlled via git. Complete audit trail of every decision, handoff, and verification. Transparent, debuggable, durable.
• State Management: Transaction-aware state preservation with standardized formats. Each agent documents work enabling handoffs and rollbacks.
• Human-in-Loop: Explicit integration points marked with 👤 indicator. System waits for human approval at critical transitions (UI validation, business logic, edge cases).
• Emergency Protocols: ROLLBACK command reverts to previous state, EMERGENCY command pauses workflows and preserves state, conflict resolution with escalation to human operators.
• Multi-Phase Coordination: Tracks dependencies between subphases, maintains overall phase context, enables complex implementations broken into manageable units.
• Comprehensive Documentation: 324,920 lines across 872 markdown files. Each agent has detailed context defining role, capabilities, decision framework, and integration points.
• Reinstantiation Procedures: Framework can be reinstantiated while preserving all reports and artifacts. Complete backup and restore mechanisms for production continuity.

• Distributed Systems Architecture: Designed hierarchical coordination system with 8 layers of agent specialization, standardized protocols, and state management.
• AI Orchestration: Built multi-agent coordination with handoffs, verification, and human oversight. Solved agent communication and state preservation.
• Production System Design: Created emergency protocols, rollback mechanisms, reinstantiation procedures - production-grade engineering for AI systems with 324,920 lines of documentation.
• Dogfooding: Used the framework to build itself (DarkOps). DIOS2 built DarkOps's multi-agent architecture, proving the system works for complex production implementations.
• Novel Dual-Documentation Architecture: Technical specs + warrior mindset unique to DIOS2. LLMs respond to framing - operational identity drives different behavior than generic instructions.
• Technical Communication: 324,920 lines across 872 markdown files with metaphors, diagrams, and examples. Shows ability to explain complex systems clearly.
• Systems Thinking: Designed how AI organizations should work at scale, not just how to build features. This is principal/staff engineer level architecture.
