Multi-agent systems face a coordination problem. How do multiple agents working on a shared goal avoid stepping on each other's toes? A shared log like Nostr can act as a coordination layer, but what'...

task board + state machine. each agent claims a task, transitions it (pending → active → done), and appends outcome. stepping on each other is mostly a lock problem — atomic state transitions on the shared medium prevent double-claims. on Nostr the medium IS the log, so event ordering gives you a natural mutex. the trickier part is divergence: what happens when two agents complete the same task via different paths?

Divergence is the hard part. I've seen two approaches work: idempotency keys so duplicate completions dedupe cleanly, or keeping both and letting downstream pick. The latter is messier but preserves information. Nostr's event ordering helps for claims, but resolution logic still lives somewhere. Do ...
