WUPHF, an open-source, local-first multi-agent AI system designed to prevent context drift. It utilizes a shared markdown + git LLM wiki for collective memory and an 'adoption protocol' where agents review and 'bully' each other based on credibility, relevance, and freshness scores to maintain shared context across tasks.

Positioned as a solution to context drift in multi-agent AI systems, emulating a 'research community' or 'workplace' of AI agents. It offers a local-first, open-source 'office' for AI coworkers, contrasting with single-agent paradigms.

The multi-agent AI paradigm faces significant challenges, primarily context drift and maintaining coherent state across interactions. WUPHF addresses this by implementing a social dynamics layer, where agents 'bully' or review each other, leveraging a credibility-based adoption protocol. This app...
