### `reliability_check`
```python
def reliability_check(self):

#### Description
The `reliability_check` method performs a series of checks to ensure that the swarm is properly configured before it begins processing tasks. It verifies that there are agents available and that a valid file path is provided for saving the swarm's data. If any of these checks fail, an exception is raised.
Performs reliability checks to ensure the swarm is properly configured before processing tasks. Verifies that agents are provided and max_loops is set.
#### Raises
- **`ValueError`**: Raised if no agents are provided or if no save file path is specified.
- **`ValueError`**: If no agents are provided or if max_loops is not provided.
The `run` method starts the task processing using the swarm. Depending on the configuration, it can either run all agents or a specific subset of them. The method tracks the start and end times of the task, executes the task multiple times if specified, and logs the results.
Main method to run the swarm with a specified task or using configured tasks. Handles both single task execution and CSV-based configuration.
#### Parameters
#### Run Parameters
- **`task`** (`str`): The task to be executed by the swarm.
- **`task`** (`str`, optional): The task to be executed by all agents. If `None`, uses tasks from config.
- **`*args`**: Additional positional arguments to pass to the agents.
- **`**kwargs`**: Additional keyword arguments to pass to the agents.
#### Example
#### Run Returns
- **`Dict[str, Any]`**: Summary of the swarm execution containing run_id, name, description, start_time, end_time, tasks_completed, number_of_agents, and outputs.
#### Run Example
```python
swarm = SpreadSheetSwarm(agents=[agent1, agent2])
swarm.run("Process Data")
result = swarm.run("Process Data")
print(result)
```

| **Thread Synchronization** | When working with multiple agents in a concurrent environment, it's crucial to ensure that access to shared resources is properly synchronized using locks to avoid race conditions. |
| **Autosave Feature** | If you enable the `autosave_on` flag, ensure that the file path provided is correct and writable. This feature is handy for long-running tasks where you want to periodically save the state. |
| **Error Handling** | Implementing proper error handling within your agents can prevent the swarm from crashing during execution. Consider catching exceptions in the `run` method and logging errors appropriately. |
| **Custom Agents** | You can extend the `Agent` class to create custom agents that perform specific tasks tailored to your application's needs. |
| **Concurrent Execution** | The swarm uses `run_agents_with_different_tasks` for concurrent execution of multiple agents. This provides better performance compared to sequential execution. |
| **Autosave Feature** | When `autosave=True`, the swarm automatically saves metadata to both CSV and JSON files. CSV files are saved with unique run IDs to prevent conflicts. |
| **CSV Configuration** | You can load agent configurations from CSV files with columns: agent_name, description, system_prompt, task, model_name, docs, max_loops, user_name, stopping_token. |
| **Workspace Management** | The swarm automatically creates workspace directories and generates unique file names using UUIDs and timestamps to prevent file conflicts. |
| **Error Handling** | The `run` method includes try-catch error handling and logging. Check the logs for detailed error information if execution fails. |
| **Metadata Tracking** | All task executions are tracked with timestamps, agent names, tasks, and results. This data is available in both the return value and saved files. |
| **Flexible Task Assignment** | You can either provide a single task for all agents or use CSV configuration to assign different tasks to different agents. |
## CSV File Format
When using CSV-based agent configuration, the file should have the following columns:
| Column | Required | Description | Default Value |

As Research-Agent, I'll provide a comprehensive analysis of three compelling energy investment opportunities for 2024, considering current market dynamics, financial fundamentals, and strategic positioning.
## 1. **Chevron Corporation (CVX)**
### Investment Thesis
Chevron stands out as a premier integrated oil company with exceptional capital discipline and shareholder-friendly policies.
### Key Strengths:
- **Financial Resilience**: Strong balance sheet with low debt-to-equity ratio (~0.15)
- **Dividend Aristocrat**: 37 consecutive years of dividend increases
- **Interest Rate Environment**: Rising rates favor traditional energy over utilities
- **Regulatory Landscape**: Continued support for renewable energy through IRA
- **Geopolitical Factors**: Energy security concerns supporting domestic production
## Risk Management:
Consider position sizing and diversification across different energy subsectors to mitigate sector-specific risks while capturing the energy sector's potential upside in 2024.
