Automated Design of Agentic Systems

Shengran Hu, Cong Lu, Jeff Clune

What this work does

A meta-agent writes and refines executable agent designs, storing prior candidates and their evaluations to guide later proposals.

Connection to discovery

Treats workflows, prompts and tool orchestration as searchable representations instead of assuming the harness is fixed.

Evidence

The body separates representation, search algorithm and evaluation, and reports search and test splits plus transfer of selected designs.

Scope and limitations

A Turing-complete language does not imply feasible coverage of all agents. Validation-set search, tool costs and transfer conditions constrain the result.
