llm-agents idea-expansion metadata-tracking

Summary

User wants to redesign an LLM program with 3 agents focused on idea expansion, including metadata tracking per LLM call.

Messages

rewrite this program to be more concise with only 3 agents and make it about fleshing out ideas and include an input prompt to base the initial idea on, what I want to be different is there to be meta data included with each LLM call so that one of the agents is a summarizer for a meta ledger to add context for future calls : import os

### Key Changes:
1. **Reduced Number of Agents**: Only three agents (Idea Generator, Detail Expander, and Summarizer).
2. **Meta Ledger**: Metadata (e.g., phase name, timestamp) is added with each output.
3. **Input Prompt**: Accepts a user-defined prompt to seed the idea generation.
4. **Simplified Output Structure**: Each phase saves its output as JSON with a metadata field.
5. **Orchestration**: The `Orchestrator` runs the agents sequentially.

This structure emphasizes simplicity while preserving functionality and flexibility for future extensions.
