Battlefield AI Decision Support Agent
Tthis challenge focuses on developing an advanced, secure decision-support system using the Claude Agents SDK. Participants will build a multi-agent system designed for strategic analysis and real-time intelligence gathering in simulated complex scenarios. The system will integrate GPT-5 Pro for high-level reasoning and planning, Claude 4 Sonnet for robust, secure communication and analysis, and leverage specialized inference environments (Featherless AI, Replicate) for optimal model deployment. Guardrails AI will ensure ethical and safe operational parameters.
What you are building
The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.
Construct a Claude Agents SDK multi-agent system using GPT-5 Pro and Claude 4 Sonnet for secure, real-time strategic decision support in simulated complex environments.
How work is evaluated
The solution will be evaluated on the strategic quality of decisions made by the agent system, its adherence to defined safety protocols, the efficiency of tool utilization (Featherless AI, Replicate), and the robustness of inter-agent communication within the Claude Agents SDK. Scenario-based testing will be used.
Challenge datasets
Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.
How submissions are scored
These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.
Guardrails AI Activation for Unsafe Prompts
Guardrails AI must successfully intervene and prevent any unsafe or unethical responses.
This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
Agent Communication Integrity
Verify proper message passing and state updates between agents within the Claude Agents SDK.
This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
Strategic Planning Effectiveness
Score based on the completeness, logic, and effectiveness of the tactical plan (0-100). • target: 90 • range: 0-100
This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
Tool Utilization Efficiency
Percentage of relevant tools (Featherless AI, Replicate) correctly invoked and utilized by agents for specific tasks (0-100). • target: 95 • range: 0-100
This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
What you should walk away with
Master the Claude Agents SDK for defining autonomous agents, configuring their capabilities, and managing their state and tool interactions.
Orchestrate a multi-agent system (e.g., 'Intelligence Analyst', 'Logistics Planner', 'Tactical Commander') within the Claude Agents SDK to simulate battlefield decision-making workflows.
Integrate GPT-5 Pro as a specialized tool for the 'Tactical Commander' agent, enabling advanced, multi-step planning, scenario generation, and counter-factual analysis.
Utilize Claude 4 Sonnet within agent definitions for robust, secure communication parsing, risk assessment, and filtering sensitive information due to its strong safety characteristics.
Design custom tools for Claude agents that leverage Featherless AI for low-latency inference of specialized small models (e.g., image classification for reconnaissance) and Replicate for deploying diverse, pre-trained AI models as services.
Implement Guardrails AI within the Claude Agents SDK workflow to enforce operational boundaries, prevent generation of harmful content, and ensure adherence to strict ethical and military protocols.
Develop secure A2A communication patterns between Claude agents, emphasizing data integrity and controlled information sharing, crucial for sensitive applications.
