Summary

AutoWorldBuilder is a multi-agent LLM system designed for fictional worldbuilding, addressing context explosion, consistency, and quality assurance through hierarchical context compression, semantic scheduling, and an iterative review process. It achieves high success rates in generating self-consistent fictional concepts.

Creating coherent fictional worlds for games or literature is a complex task, and while large language models offer potential for automation, they face challenges like managing vast context, ensuring creative diversity while maintaining consistency, and guaranteeing quality. A new system, AutoWorldBuilder, tackles these issues through a collaborative multi-agent approach. AutoWorldBuilder integrates five key components: a structured concept network for conflict detection, a DAG-based scheduler for grouping tasks by semantic locality, and a four-layer context compression mechanism that reduces token usage by approximately 90%. It also features an iterative review system with specialized "Auditor" agents, which significantly improves the acceptance rate of generated proposals. The system uses a skill-driven agent architecture that allows for zero-code extensions and differentiated temperature configurations. Experiments with various worldbuilding tasks, using GPT-OSS 120B and DeepSeek v3.2, demonstrated a 95% success rate, generating numerous self-consistent concepts per world with zero conflicts in a short timeframe. The architectural patterns, such as layered compression and separation of generation and review, are broadly applicable to other knowledge-intensive, multi-agent LLM applications.
