# Product Requirements Document - Agent Orchestration Platform
## Executive Summary
**Agent Orchestration Platform** is a sophisticated FastMCP Python server enabling centralized management of multiple Claude Code agents across iTerm2 sessions. The platform provides seamless multi-agent coordination through task-based workflows while maintaining maximum security isolation and persistent state management.
## Problem Statement
Development teams need sophisticated AI assistance that can manage multiple specialized agents working collaboratively on complex codebases. Current solutions lack:
- **Centralized Orchestration**: No unified interface for managing multiple Claude Code instances
- **Persistent State**: Agent configurations and progress lost on system restarts
- **Security Isolation**: Insufficient boundaries between different agent processes
- **Task Coordination**: Limited inter-agent communication and workflow management
## Solution Overview
A **FastMCP-based orchestration platform** that:
1. **Manages Agent Lifecycle**: Create, monitor, and destroy Claude Code agents via MCP tools
2. **Provides Session Management**: Associate agents with specific codebases and security boundaries
3. **Enables Persistent State**: Survive iTerm2 restarts with encrypted state recovery
4. **Facilitates Inter-Agent Communication**: Task-based coordination through ADDER+ workflows
5. **Ensures Maximum Security**: Process-level isolation with comprehensive audit trails
