# Agent Desk

> Manage, monitor, and visualize multi-agent collaboration in real time. The Agent Desk lets you follow the full conversation and workflow between AI agents.

The **Agent Desk** is your real-time mission control for all AI agents collaborating on your tasks in Reasoning Stack.\
Think of it as an interactive dashboard where you can track, inspect, and understand how sub-agents coordinate, share messages, and deliver results for your request.

## 🚦 What is the Agent Desk?

* **Live agent cards**: See every AI agent working on your task, each with its own avatar, name, specialty, and real-time status.
* **Workflow visualization**: Watch as agents receive tasks, process information, hand off messages, and return results.
* **Message threads**: Track conversations between agents—see who said what, when, and to whom.
* **Status indicators**: Know at a glance who’s busy, who’s done, and who needs more info.

## 🛠️ How it works

### 1. Agent Plan Creation

When you submit a request, the system generates an **Agent Plan** using the `create_agent_plan` tool.\
This defines which agents (sub-agents) are needed, their roles, and the overall sequence.

* Each agent gets assigned an avatar for easy visual tracking.
* The **lead agent** acts as the coordinator.

### 2. Agent Communication

* **Agents communicate by passing messages:**\
  Each agent can send structured messages (with context, data, or instructions) to other agents as the workflow progresses.
* **Message routing is dynamic:**\
  Agents hand off tasks and context to each other based on the Agent Plan—there’s no fixed chain; agents can "talk" back and forth as needed until every sub-task is completed.
* **Conversation is visible:**\
  You can follow every exchange in the Agent Desk UI, so it’s clear how agents collaborate and which step each is handling.

### 3. Full Orchestration Loop

* The process continues, with agents exchanging results and new instructions, until all sub-tasks are done and the lead agent delivers the final output back to you.
