What Symphony Is

Symphony is Ambient's orchestration system for complex work that benefits from multiple roles. It incorporates lessons from modern sub-agent systems without copying any single system's abstraction.

Design Rules

  • Parent sessions own the objective, approvals, and final synthesis.
  • Child sessions receive scoped tools and bounded context.
  • Artifacts and summaries are the join surface, not hidden background state.
  • Callable workflows can compile orchestration recipes into repeatable tools when policy allows.

Maturity Note

Symphony is in flight. The core contracts, tests, recipes, and UI surfaces exist, but advanced orchestration is presented as a guided capability rather than a fully open-ended swarm.
