+# AGENTS.md — Deep Research Agent Style Guide
+
+## Project Overview
+
+This is a **multi-agent deep research system** built on the A2A (Agent-to-Agent) protocol. A single Go binary serves four agent roles — orchestrator, researcher, analyzer, synthesizer — selected at runtime via the `NODE_TYPE` environment variable. The system uses NATS JetStream for event sourcing and work distribution, MySQL for task persistence, and Gemini (via Google ADK) for LLM reasoning.
+
+### Key dependencies
+
+| Dependency | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| `github.com/a2aproject/a2a-go/v2` | A2A protocol SDK (server, client, types, push, queues, stores) |
+| `google.golang.org/adk` | Google Agent Development Kit (LLM agents, runners, sessions, tools) |
+| `google.golang.org/genai` | Google GenAI SDK (Gemini model, content types) |
+| `github.com/nats-io/nats.go` | NATS client / JetStream |
+| `github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql` | MySQL driver (blank-imported for side effects) |
+
+---
+
+## Architecture
+
+```text
+Client → Orchestrator (state machine)
+           ├── Researcher  (Google Search grounding)
+           ├── Analyzer    (referenced-task injection)
+           └── Synthesizer (referenced-task injection)
+
+Infrastructure: MySQL (task index + outbox) · NATS JetStream (events, work, state) · nginx (host-based LB)
+```
+
+- **Single binary, multi-role**: `main.go` reads `NODE_TYPE` and wires the corresponding `a2asrv.AgentExecutor`.
+- **Event sourcing**: Tasks are materialized by replaying events from NATS streams.
+- **Transactional outbox**: MySQL insert + NATS publish are guaranteed atomic via an outbox table relayed by a leader-elected poller.
+- **Scatter/gather**: The orchestrator fans out subtasks via async A2A sends and gathers results through NATS push notifications.
+
+---
+
+## Project Layout
+
+```text

+│   ├── clusterclient/              # Async A2A client wrapper for inter-agent communication
+│   ├── domain/                     # Shared domain types (AgentType enum, Info)
+│   ├── lease/                      # NATS KV-based leader election
+│   ├── msgstream/                  # NATS-backed event queues, work queues, push sender
+│   ├── report/                     # HTTP handler for serving synthesized reports
+│   ├── server/                     # Server wiring (infra setup, handler creation)
+│   ├── statemachine/               # Generic event-sourced state machine

+├── infra/                          # Docker Compose, nginx, MySQL schema, NATS bootstrap
+├── Dockerfile
+└── go.mod
+```
+
+**Rules**:
+- All domain logic lives under `internal/` — one concern per package.
+- Each package should have a single clear responsibility (e.g., `lease` only does leader election).
+- `main.go` is the only file in package `main`; it handles configuration, dependency wiring, and graceful shutdown.
+
+---
+
+## Coding Rules
+
+### Testing
+
+- Test observable behavior, not the internal state.
+- Use table-driven tests where applicable.
+- Name test functions `TestFunctionName_scenario`.
+
+### Comments
+
+- **Prefer self-explanatory code**.
+- **Doc comments**: `// SymbolName does X.` directly above the symbol. Start with the symbol name per Go convention. Add for all exported symbols, but be brief.
+- **Inline comments**: Use sparingly, be brief, explain *why* not *what*.
+- **References**: Use Go doc-link syntax `[a2a.Client]` when referencing other symbols.
+
+### Logging
+
+Use `github.com/a2aproject/a2a-go/v2/log` exclusively. Do not use `log/slog` or `fmt.Println` for application logging.
+
+---
+
+## Things to Know
+
+### Event-sourced state machine (`internal/statemachine/`)
+
+The generic `statemachine.Spec[E, S]` (driven by `statemachine.Run`) drives the orchestrator:
+- **Decode**: Parse raw NATS messages into typed events.
+- **Evolve**: Apply events to state (pure state transitions, no side effects).
+- **Act**: Inspect state and decide on side effects (dispatch subtasks, call LLM, complete).
+
+### Transactional outbox (`internal/store/outbox.go`)
+
+Guarantees atomicity between MySQL writes and NATS publishes:
+1. Insert task + outbox row (tagged with the agent type) in the same SQL transaction.
+2. A leader-elected poller reads outbox rows for its own agent type, publishes to NATS, then deletes.
+
+### Decorator pattern (`internal/agents/common.go`)
+
+`referencedTaskLoader` wraps an `AgentExecutor` via embedding and intercepts `Execute` to inject referenced task content before delegating to the inner executor.
+
+### Leader election (`internal/lease/`)
+
+Uses NATS KV `Create` (atomic put-if-absent) for distributed locking. Watches for key deletion to retry acquisition.
+
+### Infrastructure
+
+All services are defined in `infra/docker-compose.yaml`.
+
+### Misc
+
+- This agent is a **self-contained Go module** (`go.mod` at the deepresearch root). It does not share code with other Go samples in the repository.
+- The A2A SDK (`a2a-go/v2`) provides the server framework, client, types, and infrastructure interfaces (queues, stores, push). Domain logic implements these interfaces.
+- The orchestrator's workflow proceeds through stages: **research -> analyze -> follow-up research -> synthesize -> complete**.

+# Deep Research
+
+A multi-agent system that performs deep research on a given topic. The project showcases a way of implementing the standard SDK interfaces for integrating with various popular infra components like MySQL and NATS.
+
+Built using [a2a-go](https://github.com/a2aproject/a2a-go) and [adk](https://github.com/google/adk-go).
+
+## Overview
+
+* Horizontally scalable cluster of different agent types: orchestrator, researcher, analyzer, and synthesizer.
+* MySQL for task indexing and Jetstream for event persistence.
+* Push notification sender for signaling subtask completion to the orchestrator.
+* NATS for work distribution, event and push notification delivery.
+* Retryable execution with state checkpointing.
+
+<img src="./assets/deepresearch.png" width="740" alt="Deep research agent architecture diagram"/>
+
+## Running
+
+1. Rename `.example.env` to `.env` and update your `GOOGLE_API_KEY` ([learn more](https://docs.cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/api-keys)).
+
+2. Start the full stack using docker-compose by running `make up`.
+
+3. Call orchestrator using [a2a-cli](https://github.com/a2aproject/a2a-go#-cli) (`make send`), [a2a-inspector](https://github.com/a2aproject/a2a-inspector) or another client.
+
+
+## Details
+
+Orchestrator agents handle client requests:
+1. Uses LLM planner to decompose a question into subtasks.
+2. Dispatches them to a cluster of researcher agents with `returnImmediately: true`.
+3. Waits for results using NATS-based push notifications.
+4. Invokes an analyzer to find contradictory topics for a follow-up research.
+5. Initiates the follow-up research.
+6. Invokes a synthesizer to generate a final report.
+
+If an orchestrator crashes, the state machine replays its event stream from the NATS STATES stream to recover which stages were dispatched and which completed, then resumes from where it left off.
+
+Orchestrator never loads large task contents into memory and instead uses task references when communicating with synthesizer and analyzer. The final report is returned to a user as a reference.
+
+Push notifications allow orchestrator to limit the number of open long-lived connections and avoid subtask status polling.
