RANCH - Rust Agent Networking & Coordination Hub

A robust multi-agent system built in Rust for managing, coordinating, and facilitating communication between autonomous agents.

About RANCH

RANCH stands for Rust Agent Networking & Coordination Hub** - a powerful framework designed to bring together multiple autonomous agents in a cohesive, managed environment. Just as a physical ranch serves as a gathering place for livestock, our RANCH project serves as a digital hub where various AI agents can collaborate, communicate, and coordinate their activities.

Features

• Multi-Agent Coordination: Seamlessly manage and orchestrate multiple autonomous agents
• Rust-Based Performance: Built with Rust for memory safety, concurrency, and optimal performance
• A2A Protocol Support: Implements the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication protocol
• Real-time Communication: Efficient networking and message passing between agents
• Task Management: Advanced task orchestration and workload distribution
• Extensible Architecture: Modular design for easy customization and extension

Architecture

The project is structured around several key components:

• a2a-protocol: Core implementation of the Agent-to-Agent communication protocol
• multi-agent: Framework for orchestrating teams of agents
• Communication layers: HTTP and JSON-RPC transport protocols
• Task management: Distributed task execution and monitoring
