@Marvin Can you provide an example of using Marvin with A2A

Do you mean A2A as “agent-to-agent” delegation? If so, here’s a minimal Marvin example where one agent coordinates and delegates work to other agents via a Team. Quick A2A example (Lead -> Researcher + Writer)
Copy code
from marvin import Agent, Team

# Specialists
researcher = Agent(
    name="Researcher",
    instructions=(
        "Research the topic, return concise bullet facts and relevant links. "
        "Avoid long prose."
    ),
)

writer = Agent(
    name="Writer",
    instructions=(
        "Using provided facts, write a clear, polished response. "
        "Be concise and structured."
    ),
)

# Coordinator that delegates to the specialists
lead = Agent(
    name="Lead",
    instructions=(
        "Break the request into subtasks. Delegate research to Researcher and "
        "drafting to Writer. Review and return the final answer."
    ),
    verbose=True,  # optional: prints the thought process/events
)

# Team wiring: allow Lead to delegate to Researcher and Writer
team = Team(
    members=[lead, researcher, writer],
    delegates={lead: [researcher, writer]},
    verbose=True,  # optional
)

# Kick off the conversation with the team
result = team.say(
    "Write a two-paragraph summary of why you'd orchestrate LLM workloads with Prefect."
)

print(result)
What this does: - You create specialized agents for research and writing. - A “Lead” agent coordinates and can delegate to allowed members. - The
Team
sets the allowed delegation map (
delegates={lead: [researcher, writer]}
). - Calling
team.say(...)
triggers the coordination and agent-to-agent workflow. Notes and variations: - For a more free-form collaboration pattern, you can also use
Swarm
(a team variant) where members can contribute more opportunistically. - If you want the lead to broadcast context to all agents at once, you can expose
marvin.tools.thread.post_message_to_agents
as a tool, but in most cases the
Team
with delegates is the simplest A2A path.
