      <title>agent-consistency – a Python consistency layer for multi-agent workflows</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;I keep seeing AI agent workflows claim “task completed” even when the outcome was never actually verified.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I’m curious how people here deal with:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;stale state between agents&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;incomplete handoffs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;outcome verification&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;workflows that look clean in logs but are still wrong&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Are you solving this with tests, traces, guardrails, custom validators, or something else?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I built a small MIT-licensed Python package around this problem called agent-consistency.&lt;br&gt;
Repo/demo here: &lt;a href="https://github.com/karimbaidar/agent-consistency-refund-demo" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://github.com/karimbaidar/agent-consistency-refund-demo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It’s not a framework replacement.&lt;br&gt;
It’s a consistency layer meant to catch stale state, broken handoffs, and false success.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I’d love blunt feedback on where this approach breaks down.&lt;/p&gt;
