sprix-sage-router: SAGE Router – State‑Aware Routing for A2A Agent Networks
SAGE Router is an open‑source algorithm that decides whether to continue, collaborate, or hand off a task in an agent‑to‑agent network, using checkpoint‑aware reconfiguration and requirement‑conditioned trust. 4,261 GitHub stars in 46 days since wang2122/sprix-sage-router was created (93.4/day). 1 source across 1 cha

What happened
- Fact SAGE Router evaluates three routing modes (SELF, COLLABORATE, HANDOFF) in a single auditable objective.[1]AI
SAGE decides which feasible agent configuration should execute the task, in which mode, and why.
- Fact It preserves completed requirements and estimates remaining work based on artifact portability.[1]AI
The router preserves completed requirements and combines in-flight completion, observed partial quality, current ownership, and artifact portability to estimate how much work each candidate must actually redo.
- Fact SAGE uses requirement‑conditioned trust rather than a single reputation score.[1]AI
Reliability is tracked per agent and requirement instead of assuming that one reputation score transfers across skills.
- Fact A separate evaluator replays checkpoints to score artifact reuse and recovery latency without invoking SAGE’s switching equation.[1]AI
A separate evaluator replays checkpoints and scores artifact reuse, added cost, recovery latency, wasted work, and final quality without calling SAGE's switching equation.
- Fact The algorithm jointly searches calibrated requirement owners and their schedule, treating work assigned to one agent as serial.[1]AI
SAGE jointly searches calibrated requirement owners and their schedule. Work assigned to one agent is seriali
- Fact The GitHub repository wang2122/sprix-sage-router was created on 18 Aug 2026 and had 4,261 stars on 2 Oct 2026.[1]
- Fact Its description reads: “Sprix AI at 屿智同行 — state-aware SELF/COLLABORATE/HANDOFF routing for A2A agent networks.”[1]
- Fact That is 4,261 stars in 46 days, an average of 93.4 per day.[1]
Why it matters
- Analysis Integrate SAGE Router into existing A2A protocols to enable state‑aware routing decisions, or use its open‑source implementation as a research baseline.AI
- Analysis Automatically detected from public activity data. Not yet reviewed by an analyst.

| NoveltyRubric level 2/4 (Moderate). Heuristic (automated): first published 46 days ago. | 7.5/15 | |
| Technical significanceNot yet assessed. Requires analyst review; not assessed automatically. | 0/15 | |
| Developer relevanceRubric level 3/4 (High). AI-assisted (openai/gpt-oss-20b), pending human review: Offers a ready‑to‑use routing algorithm that can be plugged into existing A2A systems, reducing the need to design custom routing logic. Evidence: “SAGE is designed to sit above the Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol.” | 11.3/15 | |
