How does MetaGPT use Standard Operating Procedures to reduce AI hallucinations?

All answers to this question.

The magic of MetaGPT is that it materializes human procedural knowledge into agent instructions. It isn't just one big prompt; it’s an assembly line. For example, the Product Manager agent creates a PRD (Product Requirement Document), which becomes the mandatory input for the Architect. The Architect then must produce a system design before the Engineer is even allowed to start coding. This structured hand-off mimics a real-world "definition of ready" and significantly reduces hallucinations because each agent has a very narrow, well-defined scope based on the previous agent's verified output.

Is there a way to inject our own company-specific SOPs into the MetaGPT framework? We have very specific security guidelines that I would want the "Security Auditor" role to enforce during the generation process.

• You definitely can! You can define custom roles and modify the prompt templates for existing ones. We added a "DevOps" role to our MetaGPT setup that specifically checks for Dockerfile best practices. It’s highly extensible if you’re willing to dive into the Python source code and define your own action classes.

It basically turns the development process into a structured graph of tasks. Each node in the graph is an agent following a specific recipe.

• Exactly. It’s the difference between asking one person to do everything versus having a specialized team. The quality is much higher because of that specialization.
