Context Management & Reliability

You are developing a multi-agent research system with the Claude Agent SDK. A coordinator agent assigns work to specialized subagents: one searches the web, one analyzes documents, one synthesizes findings, and one produces reports. The system researches topics and generates comprehensive, cited reports.

While researching “renewable energy adoption,” the web-search agent returns recent statistics (2024: 35% adoption), while the document-analysis agent extracts data from internal reports (2021: 18% adoption). The synthesis agent mistakenly identifies these as conflicting sources instead of recognizing that the data indicates growth over time. What change would best allow the synthesis agent to correctly interpret these temporal differences?

Explanation

Dates are essential provenance metadata for quantitative findings. Including each source’s publication date or data-collection date in structured subagent outputs lets the synthesis process distinguish observations from different periods, order them chronologically, and identify a change over time rather than a contradiction. Claude structured outputs support schema-defined fields, including date-formatted string fields, allowing this metadata to be consistently required.
