ARCOS – AI Rule-Constrained Orchestration System

ARCOS is a schema-driven framework for orchestrating AI agents under strict specification and validation rules. It defines how a Coordinator (Maestro) interacts with Speculus, Producer, Validator, and Post-Processor agents through domain-agnostic XML messaging validated against schemas. Each agent may implement domain-specific logic internally, but all inter-agent communication are standardized, verifiable, and schema-based.

📦 This repository publishes the ARCOS schemas (XSD), example XML files,
documentation PDFs, and architecture diagrams.
🔗 It also provides a stable URL base for referencing schemas in XML documents.

✨ Why ARCOS?

• Deterministic AI orchestration – every interaction is validated against XSD contracts.
• Composable agents – swap in your own Producers, Validators, or Post-Processors.
• Domain-agnostic – bring your own schema; ARCOS will give it to each domain component.
• Fail-fast philosophy – invalid XML is rejected immediately.

📖 Getting Started

1. Clone this repo.
2. Validate an example XML against its schema with your favorite XSD validator.
3. Explore how Maestro coordinates Speculus → Producer → Validator → Post-Processor using the included diagrams.
