# Workflow Execute (Codex Version)
|
||||
|
||||
Orchestrates autonomous workflow execution through systematic task discovery, agent coordination, and progress tracking. **Executes entire workflow without user interruption** (except initial session selection if multiple active sessions exist), providing complete context to agents and ensuring proper flow control execution with comprehensive TodoWrite tracking.
|
||||
|
||||
**Resume Mode**: When called with `--resume-session` flag, skips discovery phase and directly enters TodoWrite generation and agent execution for the specified session.
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture Overview
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
|
||||
│ Workflow Execute Orchestrator (SKILL.md) │
|
||||
│ → Parse args → Session discovery → Strategy → Execute tasks │
|
||||
└──────────┬───────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
│
|
||||
┌──────┴──────┐
|
||||
│ Normal Mode │──→ Phase 1 → Phase 2 → Phase 3 → Phase 4 → Phase 5
|
||||
│ Resume Mode │──→ Phase 3 → Phase 4 → Phase 5
|
||||
└─────────────┘
|
||||
│
|
||||
┌──────┴──────────────────────────────────────────────┐
|
||||
│ Phase 1: Discovery (session selection) │
|
||||
│ Phase 2: Validation (planning doc checks) │
|
||||
│ Phase 3: TodoWrite Gen (progress tracking init) │
|
||||
│ Phase 4: Strategy+Execute (lazy load + agent loop) │
|
||||
│ Phase 5: Completion (status sync + user choice)│
|
||||
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Design Principles
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Autonomous Execution**: Complete entire workflow without user interruption
|
||||
2. **Lazy Loading**: Task JSONs read on-demand during execution, not upfront
|
||||
3. **ONE AGENT = ONE TASK JSON**: Each agent instance executes exactly one task JSON file
|
||||
4. **IMPL_PLAN-Driven Strategy**: Execution model derived from planning document
|
||||
5. **Continuous Progress Tracking**: TodoWrite updates throughout entire workflow
|
||||
6. **Subagent Lifecycle**: Explicit lifecycle management with spawn_agent → wait → close_agent
|
||||
|
||||
## Auto Mode
|
||||
|
||||
When `--yes` or `-y`:
|
||||
- **Session Selection**: Automatically selects the first (most recent) active session
|
||||
- **Completion Choice**: Automatically completes session (runs `workflow:session:complete --yes`)
|
||||
|
||||
When `--with-commit`:
|
||||
- **Auto-Commit**: After each agent task completes, commit changes based on summary document
|
||||
- **Commit Principle**: Minimal commits - only commit files modified by the completed task
|
||||
- **Commit Message**: Generated from task summary with format: "feat/fix/refactor: {task-title} - {summary}"
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
codex -p "@.codex/prompts/workflow-execute.md"
|
||||
codex -p "@.codex/prompts/workflow-execute.md [FLAGS]"
|
||||
|
||||
# Flags
|
||||
-y, --yes Skip all confirmations (auto mode)
|
||||
--resume-session="<session-id>" Skip discovery, resume specified session
|
||||
--with-commit Auto-commit after each task completion
|
||||
|
||||
# Examples
|
||||
codex -p "@.codex/prompts/workflow-execute.md" # Interactive mode
|
||||
codex -p "@.codex/prompts/workflow-execute.md --yes" # Auto mode
|
||||
codex -p "@.codex/prompts/workflow-execute.md --resume-session=\"WFS-auth\"" # Resume specific session
|
||||
codex -p "@.codex/prompts/workflow-execute.md -y --resume-session=\"WFS-auth\"" # Auto + resume
|
||||
codex -p "@.codex/prompts/workflow-execute.md --with-commit" # With auto-commit
|
||||
codex -p "@.codex/prompts/workflow-execute.md -y --with-commit" # Auto + commit
|
||||
codex -p "@.codex/prompts/workflow-execute.md -y --with-commit --resume-session=\"WFS-auth\"" # All flags
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution Flow
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Normal Mode:
|
||||
Phase 1: Discovery
|
||||
├─ Count active sessions
|
||||
└─ Decision:
|
||||
├─ count=0 → ERROR: No active sessions
|
||||
├─ count=1 → Auto-select session → Phase 2
|
||||
└─ count>1 → AskUserQuestion (max 4 options) → Phase 2
|
||||
|
||||
Phase 2: Planning Document Validation
|
||||
├─ Check IMPL_PLAN.md exists
|
||||
├─ Check TODO_LIST.md exists
|
||||
└─ Validate .task/ contains IMPL-*.json files
|
||||
|
||||
Phase 3: TodoWrite Generation
|
||||
├─ Update session status to "active" (Step 0)
|
||||
├─ Parse TODO_LIST.md for task statuses
|
||||
├─ Generate TodoWrite for entire workflow
|
||||
└─ Prepare session context paths
|
||||
|
||||
Phase 4: Execution Strategy & Task Execution
|
||||
├─ Step 4A: Parse execution strategy from IMPL_PLAN.md
|
||||
└─ Step 4B: Execute tasks with lazy loading
|
||||
└─ Loop:
|
||||
├─ Get next in_progress task from TodoWrite
|
||||
├─ Lazy load task JSON
|
||||
├─ Launch agent (spawn_agent → wait → close_agent)
|
||||
├─ Mark task completed (update IMPL-*.json status)
|
||||
│ # Quick fix: Update task status for ccw dashboard
|
||||
│ # TS=$(date -Iseconds) && jq --arg ts "$TS" '.status="completed" | .status_history=(.status_history // [])+[{"from":"in_progress","to":"completed","changed_at":$ts}]' IMPL-X.json > tmp.json && mv tmp.json IMPL-X.json
|
||||
├─ [with-commit] Commit changes based on summary (minimal principle)
|
||||
│ # Read summary from .summaries/IMPL-X-summary.md
|
||||
│ # Extract changed files from summary's "Files Modified" section
|
||||
│ # Generate commit message: "feat/fix/refactor: {task-title} - {summary}"
|
||||
│ # git add <changed-files> && git commit -m "<commit-message>"
|
||||
└─ Advance to next task
|
||||
|
||||
Phase 5: Completion
|
||||
├─ Update task statuses in JSON files
|
||||
├─ Generate summaries
|
||||
└─ AskUserQuestion: Choose next step
|
||||
├─ "Enter Review" → workflow:review
|
||||
└─ "Complete Session" → workflow:session:complete
|
||||
|
||||
Resume Mode (--resume-session):
|
||||
├─ Skip Phase 1 & Phase 2
|
||||
└─ Entry Point: Phase 3 (TodoWrite Generation)
|
||||
├─ Update session status to "active" (if not already)
|
||||
└─ Continue: Phase 4 → Phase 5
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Rules
|
||||
|
||||
**Complete entire workflow autonomously without user interruption, using TodoWrite for comprehensive progress tracking.**
|
||||
**Execute all discovered pending tasks until workflow completion or blocking dependency.**
|
||||
**User-choice completion: When all tasks finished, ask user to choose review or complete.**
|
||||
**ONE AGENT = ONE TASK JSON: Each agent instance executes exactly one task JSON file - never batch multiple tasks into single agent execution.**
|
||||
**Explicit Lifecycle: Always close_agent after wait completes to free resources.**
|
||||
|
||||
## Subagent API Reference
|
||||
|
||||
### spawn_agent
|
||||
Create a new subagent with task assignment.
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
const agentId = spawn_agent({
|
||||
message: `
|
||||
## TASK ASSIGNMENT
|
||||
|
||||
### MANDATORY FIRST STEPS (Agent Execute)
|
||||
1. **Read role definition**: ~/.codex/agents/{agent-type}.md (MUST read first)
|
||||
2. Read: .workflow/project-tech.json
|
||||
3. Read: .workflow/project-guidelines.json
|
||||
|
||||
## TASK CONTEXT
|
||||
${taskContext}
|
||||
|
||||
## DELIVERABLES
|
||||
${deliverables}
|
||||
`
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### wait
|
||||
Get results from subagent (only way to retrieve results).
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
const result = wait({
|
||||
ids: [agentId],
|
||||
timeout_ms: 600000 // 10 minutes
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
if (result.timed_out) {
|
||||
// Handle timeout - can continue waiting or send_input to prompt completion
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### send_input
|
||||
Continue interaction with active subagent (for clarification or follow-up).
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
send_input({
|
||||
id: agentId,
|
||||
message: `
|
||||
## CLARIFICATION ANSWERS
|
||||
${answers}
|
||||
|
||||
## NEXT STEP
|
||||
Continue with implementation.
|
||||
`
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### close_agent
|
||||
Clean up subagent resources (irreversible).
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
close_agent({ id: agentId })
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Responsibilities
|
||||
|
||||
- **Session Discovery**: Identify and select active workflow sessions
|
||||
- **Execution Strategy Parsing**: Extract execution model from IMPL_PLAN.md
|
||||
- **TodoWrite Progress Tracking**: Maintain real-time execution status throughout entire workflow
|
||||
- **Agent Orchestration**: Coordinate specialized agents with complete context via spawn_agent lifecycle
|
||||
- **Status Synchronization**: Update task JSON files and workflow state
|
||||
- **Autonomous Completion**: Continue execution until all tasks complete or reach blocking state
|
||||
- **Session User-Choice Completion**: Ask user to choose review or complete when all tasks finished
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution Philosophy
|
||||
|
||||
- **Progress tracking**: Continuous TodoWrite updates throughout entire workflow execution
|
||||
- **Autonomous completion**: Execute all tasks without user interruption until workflow complete
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Optimization Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
**Lazy Loading**: Task JSONs read **on-demand** during execution, not upfront. TODO_LIST.md + IMPL_PLAN.md provide metadata for planning.
|
||||
|
||||
**Loading Strategy**:
|
||||
- **TODO_LIST.md**: Read in Phase 3 (task metadata, status, dependencies for TodoWrite generation)
|
||||
- **IMPL_PLAN.md**: Check existence in Phase 2 (normal mode), parse execution strategy in Phase 4A
|
||||
- **Task JSONs**: Lazy loading - read only when task is about to execute (Phase 4B)
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution Lifecycle
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 1: Discovery
|
||||
**Applies to**: Normal mode only (skipped in resume mode)
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose**: Find and select active workflow session with user confirmation when multiple sessions exist
|
||||
|
||||
**Process**:
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 1.1: Count Active Sessions
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bash(find .workflow/active/ -name "WFS-*" -type d 2>/dev/null | wc -l)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 1.2: Handle Session Selection
|
||||
|
||||
**Case A: No Sessions** (count = 0)
|
||||
```
|
||||
ERROR: No active workflow sessions found
|
||||
Run workflow:plan "task description" to create a session
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Case B: Single Session** (count = 1)
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bash(find .workflow/active/ -name "WFS-*" -type d 2>/dev/null | head -1 | xargs basename)
|
||||
```
|
||||
Auto-select and continue to Phase 2.
|
||||
|
||||
**Case C: Multiple Sessions** (count > 1)
|
||||
|
||||
List sessions with metadata and prompt user selection:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bash(for dir in .workflow/active/WFS-*/; do [ -d "$dir" ] || continue; session=$(basename "$dir"); project=$(jq -r '.project // "Unknown"' "${dir}workflow-session.json" 2>/dev/null || echo "Unknown"); total=$(grep -c '^\- \[' "${dir}TODO_LIST.md" 2>/dev/null || echo 0); completed=$(grep -c '^\- \[x\]' "${dir}TODO_LIST.md" 2>/dev/null || echo 0); if [ "$total" -gt 0 ]; then progress=$((completed * 100 / total)); else progress=0; fi; echo "$session | $project | $completed/$total tasks ($progress%)"; done)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Parse --yes flag**:
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
const autoYes = $ARGUMENTS.includes('--yes') || $ARGUMENTS.includes('-y')
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Conditional Selection**:
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
if (autoYes) {
|
||||
// Auto mode: Select first session (most recent)
|
||||
const firstSession = sessions[0]
|
||||
console.log(`[--yes] Auto-selecting session: ${firstSession.id}`)
|
||||
selectedSessionId = firstSession.id
|
||||
// Continue to Phase 2
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
// Interactive mode: Use AskUserQuestion to present formatted options (max 4 options shown)
|
||||
// If more than 4 sessions, show most recent 4 with "Other" option for manual input
|
||||
const sessions = getActiveSessions() // sorted by last modified
|
||||
const displaySessions = sessions.slice(0, 4)
|
||||
|
||||
AskUserQuestion({
|
||||
questions: [{
|
||||
question: "Multiple active sessions detected. Select one:",
|
||||
header: "Session",
|
||||
multiSelect: false,
|
||||
options: displaySessions.map(s => ({
|
||||
label: s.id,
|
||||
description: `${s.project} | ${s.progress}`
|
||||
}))
|
||||
// Note: User can select "Other" to manually enter session ID
|
||||
}]
|
||||
})
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Input Validation**:
|
||||
- If user selects from options: Use selected session ID
|
||||
- If user selects "Other" and provides input: Validate session exists
|
||||
- If validation fails: Show error and re-prompt or suggest available sessions
|
||||
|
||||
Parse user input (supports: number "1", full ID "WFS-auth-system", or partial "auth"), validate selection, and continue to Phase 2.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 1.3: Load Session Metadata
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bash(cat .workflow/active/${sessionId}/workflow-session.json)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Output**: Store session metadata in memory
|
||||
**DO NOT read task JSONs yet** - defer until execution phase (lazy loading)
|
||||
|
||||
**Resume Mode**: This entire phase is skipped when `--resume-session="session-id"` flag is provided.
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 2: Planning Document Validation
|
||||
**Applies to**: Normal mode only (skipped in resume mode)
|
||||
|
||||
**Purpose**: Validate planning artifacts exist before execution
|
||||
|
||||
**Process**:
|
||||
1. **Check IMPL_PLAN.md**: Verify file exists (defer detailed parsing to Phase 4A)
|
||||
2. **Check TODO_LIST.md**: Verify file exists (defer reading to Phase 3)
|
||||
3. **Validate Task Directory**: Ensure `.task/` contains at least one IMPL-*.json file
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Optimization**: Only existence checks here. Actual file reading happens in later phases.
|
||||
|
||||
**Resume Mode**: This phase is skipped when `--resume-session` flag is provided. Resume mode entry point is Phase 3.
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 3: TodoWrite Generation
|
||||
**Applies to**: Both normal and resume modes (resume mode entry point)
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 0: Update Session Status to Active**
|
||||
Before generating TodoWrite, update session status from "planning" to "active":
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Update session status (idempotent - safe to run if already active)
|
||||
jq '.status = "active" | .execution_started_at = (.execution_started_at // now | todate)' \
|
||||
.workflow/active/${sessionId}/workflow-session.json > tmp.json && \
|
||||
mv tmp.json .workflow/active/${sessionId}/workflow-session.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
This ensures the dashboard shows the session as "ACTIVE" during execution.
|
||||
|
||||
**Process**:
|
||||
1. **Create TodoWrite List**: Generate task list from TODO_LIST.md (not from task JSONs)
|
||||
- Parse TODO_LIST.md to extract all tasks with current statuses
|
||||
- Identify first pending task with met dependencies
|
||||
- Generate comprehensive TodoWrite covering entire workflow
|
||||
2. **Prepare Session Context**: Inject workflow paths for agent use (using provided session-id)
|
||||
3. **Validate Prerequisites**: Ensure IMPL_PLAN.md and TODO_LIST.md exist and are valid
|
||||
|
||||
**Resume Mode Behavior**:
|
||||
- Load existing TODO_LIST.md directly from `.workflow/active/{session-id}/`
|
||||
- Extract current progress from TODO_LIST.md
|
||||
- Generate TodoWrite from TODO_LIST.md state
|
||||
- Proceed immediately to agent execution (Phase 4)
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 4: Execution Strategy Selection & Task Execution
|
||||
**Applies to**: Both normal and resume modes
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 4A: Parse Execution Strategy from IMPL_PLAN.md**
|
||||
|
||||
Read IMPL_PLAN.md Section 4 to extract:
|
||||
- **Execution Model**: Sequential | Parallel | Phased | TDD Cycles
|
||||
- **Parallelization Opportunities**: Which tasks can run in parallel
|
||||
- **Serialization Requirements**: Which tasks must run sequentially
|
||||
- **Critical Path**: Priority execution order
|
||||
|
||||
If IMPL_PLAN.md lacks execution strategy, use intelligent fallback (analyze task structure).
|
||||
|
||||
**Step 4B: Execute Tasks with Lazy Loading**
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Optimization**: Read task JSON **only when needed** for execution
|
||||
|
||||
**Execution Loop Pattern**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
while (TODO_LIST.md has pending tasks) {
|
||||
next_task_id = getTodoWriteInProgressTask()
|
||||
task_json = Read(.workflow/active/{session}/.task/{next_task_id}.json) // Lazy load
|
||||
executeTaskWithAgent(task_json) // spawn_agent → wait → close_agent
|
||||
updateTodoListMarkCompleted(next_task_id)
|
||||
advanceTodoWriteToNextTask()
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Execution Process per Task**:
|
||||
1. **Identify Next Task**: From TodoWrite, get the next `in_progress` task ID
|
||||
2. **Load Task JSON on Demand**: Read `.task/{task-id}.json` for current task ONLY
|
||||
3. **Validate Task Structure**: Ensure all 5 required fields exist (id, title, status, meta, context, flow_control)
|
||||
4. **Launch Agent**: Invoke specialized agent via spawn_agent with complete context including flow control steps
|
||||
5. **Wait for Completion**: wait for agent result, handle timeout
|
||||
6. **Close Agent**: close_agent to free resources
|
||||
7. **Collect Results**: Gather implementation results and outputs
|
||||
8. **[with-commit] Auto-Commit**: If `--with-commit` flag enabled, commit changes based on summary
|
||||
- Read summary from `.summaries/{task-id}-summary.md`
|
||||
- Extract changed files from summary's "Files Modified" section
|
||||
- Determine commit type from `meta.type` (feature→feat, bugfix→fix, refactor→refactor)
|
||||
- Generate commit message: "{type}: {task-title} - {summary-first-line}"
|
||||
- Commit only modified files (minimal principle): `git add <files> && git commit -m "<message>"`
|
||||
9. **Continue Workflow**: Identify next pending task from TODO_LIST.md and repeat
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: TODO_LIST.md updates are handled by agents (e.g., code-developer.md), not by the orchestrator.
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 5: Completion
|
||||
**Applies to**: Both normal and resume modes
|
||||
|
||||
**Process**:
|
||||
1. **Update Task Status**: Mark completed tasks in JSON files
|
||||
2. **Generate Summary**: Create task summary in `.summaries/`
|
||||
3. **Update TodoWrite**: Mark current task complete, advance to next
|
||||
4. **Synchronize State**: Update session state and workflow status
|
||||
5. **Check Workflow Complete**: Verify all tasks are completed
|
||||
6. **User Choice**: When all tasks finished, ask user to choose next step:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// Parse --yes flag
|
||||
const autoYes = $ARGUMENTS.includes('--yes') || $ARGUMENTS.includes('-y')
|
||||
|
||||
if (autoYes) {
|
||||
// Auto mode: Complete session automatically
|
||||
console.log(`[--yes] Auto-selecting: Complete Session`)
|
||||
// Execute: workflow:session:complete --yes
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
// Interactive mode: Ask user
|
||||
AskUserQuestion({
|
||||
questions: [{
|
||||
question: "All tasks completed. What would you like to do next?",
|
||||
header: "Next Step",
|
||||
multiSelect: false,
|
||||
options: [
|
||||
{
|
||||
label: "Enter Review",
|
||||
description: "Run specialized review (security/architecture/quality/action-items)"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
label: "Complete Session",
|
||||
description: "Archive session and update manifest"
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}]
|
||||
})
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Based on user selection**:
|
||||
- **"Enter Review"**: Execute `workflow:review`
|
||||
- **"Complete Session"**: Execute `workflow:session:complete`
|
||||
|
||||
### Post-Completion Expansion
|
||||
|
||||
完成后询问用户是否扩展为issue(test/enhance/refactor/doc),选中项调用 `issue:new "{summary} - {dimension}"`
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution Strategy (IMPL_PLAN-Driven)
|
||||
|
||||
### Strategy Priority
|
||||
|
||||
**IMPL_PLAN-Driven Execution (Recommended)**:
|
||||
1. **Read IMPL_PLAN.md execution strategy** (Section 4: Implementation Strategy)
|
||||
2. **Follow explicit guidance**:
|
||||
- Execution Model (Sequential/Parallel/Phased/TDD)
|
||||
- Parallelization Opportunities (which tasks can run in parallel)
|
||||
- Serialization Requirements (which tasks must run sequentially)
|
||||
- Critical Path (priority execution order)
|
||||
3. **Use TODO_LIST.md for status tracking** only
|
||||
4. **IMPL_PLAN decides "HOW"**, execute implements it
|
||||
|
||||
**Intelligent Fallback (When IMPL_PLAN lacks execution details)**:
|
||||
1. **Analyze task structure**:
|
||||
- Check `meta.execution_group` in task JSONs
|
||||
- Analyze `depends_on` relationships
|
||||
- Understand task complexity and risk
|
||||
2. **Apply smart defaults**:
|
||||
- No dependencies + same execution_group → Parallel
|
||||
- Has dependencies → Sequential (wait for deps)
|
||||
- Critical/high-risk tasks → Sequential
|
||||
3. **Conservative approach**: When uncertain, prefer sequential execution
|
||||
|
||||
### Execution Models
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. Sequential Execution
|
||||
**When**: IMPL_PLAN specifies "Sequential" OR no clear parallelization guidance
|
||||
**Pattern**: Execute tasks one by one in TODO_LIST order via spawn_agent → wait → close_agent per task
|
||||
**TodoWrite**: ONE task marked as `in_progress` at a time
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. Parallel Execution
|
||||
**When**: IMPL_PLAN specifies "Parallel" with clear parallelization opportunities
|
||||
**Pattern**: Execute independent task groups concurrently by spawning multiple agents and batch waiting
|
||||
**TodoWrite**: MULTIPLE tasks (in same batch) marked as `in_progress` simultaneously
|
||||
**Agent Instantiation**: spawn one agent per task (respects ONE AGENT = ONE TASK JSON rule), then batch wait
|
||||
|
||||
**Parallel Execution Pattern**:
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// Step 1: Spawn agents for parallel batch
|
||||
const batchAgents = [];
|
||||
parallelTasks.forEach(task => {
|
||||
const agentId = spawn_agent({
|
||||
message: `
|
||||
## TASK ASSIGNMENT
|
||||
|
||||
### MANDATORY FIRST STEPS (Agent Execute)
|
||||
1. **Read role definition**: ~/.codex/agents/${task.meta.agent}.md (MUST read first)
|
||||
2. Read: .workflow/project-tech.json
|
||||
3. Read: .workflow/project-guidelines.json
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
Implement task ${task.id}: ${task.title}
|
||||
|
||||
[FLOW_CONTROL]
|
||||
|
||||
**Input**:
|
||||
- Task JSON: ${session.task_json_path}
|
||||
- Context Package: ${session.context_package_path}
|
||||
|
||||
**Output Location**:
|
||||
- Workflow: ${session.workflow_dir}
|
||||
- TODO List: ${session.todo_list_path}
|
||||
- Summaries: ${session.summaries_dir}
|
||||
|
||||
**Execution**: Read task JSON → Execute pre_analysis → Check execution_config.method → (CLI: handoff to CLI tool | Agent: direct implementation) → Update TODO_LIST.md → Generate summary
|
||||
`
|
||||
});
|
||||
batchAgents.push({ agentId, taskId: task.id });
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Step 2: Batch wait for all agents
|
||||
const batchResult = wait({
|
||||
ids: batchAgents.map(a => a.agentId),
|
||||
timeout_ms: 600000
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Step 3: Check results and handle timeouts
|
||||
if (batchResult.timed_out) {
|
||||
console.log('Some parallel tasks timed out, continuing with completed results');
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Step 4: Close all agents
|
||||
batchAgents.forEach(a => close_agent({ id: a.agentId }));
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### 3. Phased Execution
|
||||
**When**: IMPL_PLAN specifies "Phased" with phase breakdown
|
||||
**Pattern**: Execute tasks in phases, respect phase boundaries
|
||||
**TodoWrite**: Within each phase, follow Sequential or Parallel rules
|
||||
|
||||
#### 4. Intelligent Fallback
|
||||
**When**: IMPL_PLAN lacks execution strategy details
|
||||
**Pattern**: Analyze task structure and apply smart defaults
|
||||
**TodoWrite**: Follow Sequential or Parallel rules based on analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### Task Status Logic
|
||||
```
|
||||
pending + dependencies_met → executable
|
||||
completed → skip
|
||||
blocked → skip until dependencies clear
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## TodoWrite Coordination
|
||||
|
||||
### TodoWrite Rules (Unified)
|
||||
|
||||
**Rule 1: Initial Creation**
|
||||
- **Normal Mode**: Generate TodoWrite from discovered pending tasks for entire workflow
|
||||
- **Resume Mode**: Generate from existing session state and current progress
|
||||
|
||||
**Rule 2: In-Progress Task Count (Execution-Model-Dependent)**
|
||||
- **Sequential execution**: Mark ONLY ONE task as `in_progress` at a time
|
||||
- **Parallel batch execution**: Mark ALL tasks in current batch as `in_progress` simultaneously
|
||||
- **Execution group indicator**: Show `[execution_group: group-id]` for parallel tasks
|
||||
|
||||
**Rule 3: Status Updates**
|
||||
- **Immediate Updates**: Update status after each task/batch completion without user interruption
|
||||
- **Status Synchronization**: Sync with JSON task files after updates
|
||||
- **Continuous Tracking**: Maintain TodoWrite throughout entire workflow execution until completion
|
||||
|
||||
**Rule 4: Workflow Completion Check**
|
||||
- When all tasks marked `completed`, prompt user to choose review or complete session
|
||||
|
||||
### TodoWrite Tool Usage
|
||||
|
||||
**Example 1: Sequential Execution**
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
TodoWrite({
|
||||
todos: [
|
||||
{
|
||||
content: "Execute IMPL-1.1: Design auth schema [code-developer] [FLOW_CONTROL]",
|
||||
status: "in_progress", // ONE task in progress
|
||||
activeForm: "Executing IMPL-1.1: Design auth schema"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
content: "Execute IMPL-1.2: Implement auth logic [code-developer] [FLOW_CONTROL]",
|
||||
status: "pending",
|
||||
activeForm: "Executing IMPL-1.2: Implement auth logic"
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Example 2: Parallel Batch Execution**
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
TodoWrite({
|
||||
todos: [
|
||||
{
|
||||
content: "Execute IMPL-1.1: Build Auth API [code-developer] [execution_group: parallel-auth-api]",
|
||||
status: "in_progress", // Batch task 1
|
||||
activeForm: "Executing IMPL-1.1: Build Auth API"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
content: "Execute IMPL-1.2: Build User UI [code-developer] [execution_group: parallel-ui-comp]",
|
||||
status: "in_progress", // Batch task 2 (running concurrently)
|
||||
activeForm: "Executing IMPL-1.2: Build User UI"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
content: "Execute IMPL-1.3: Setup Database [code-developer] [execution_group: parallel-db-schema]",
|
||||
status: "in_progress", // Batch task 3 (running concurrently)
|
||||
activeForm: "Executing IMPL-1.3: Setup Database"
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
content: "Execute IMPL-2.1: Integration Tests [test-fix-agent] [depends_on: IMPL-1.1, IMPL-1.2, IMPL-1.3]",
|
||||
status: "pending", // Next batch (waits for current batch completion)
|
||||
activeForm: "Executing IMPL-2.1: Integration Tests"
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Agent Execution Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
### Flow Control Execution
|
||||
**[FLOW_CONTROL]** marker indicates task JSON contains `flow_control.pre_analysis` steps for context preparation.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: Orchestrator does NOT execute flow control steps - Agent interprets and executes them autonomously.
|
||||
|
||||
### Agent Prompt Template (Sequential)
|
||||
**Path-Based Invocation**: Pass paths and trigger markers, let agent parse task JSON autonomously.
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// Step 1: Spawn agent
|
||||
const agentId = spawn_agent({
|
||||
message: `
|
||||
## TASK ASSIGNMENT
|
||||
|
||||
### MANDATORY FIRST STEPS (Agent Execute)
|
||||
1. **Read role definition**: ~/.codex/agents/${meta.agent}.md (MUST read first)
|
||||
2. Read: .workflow/project-tech.json
|
||||
3. Read: .workflow/project-guidelines.json
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
Implement task ${task.id}: ${task.title}
|
||||
|
||||
[FLOW_CONTROL]
|
||||
|
||||
**Input**:
|
||||
- Task JSON: ${session.task_json_path}
|
||||
- Context Package: ${session.context_package_path}
|
||||
|
||||
**Output Location**:
|
||||
- Workflow: ${session.workflow_dir}
|
||||
- TODO List: ${session.todo_list_path}
|
||||
- Summaries: ${session.summaries_dir}
|
||||
|
||||
**Execution**: Read task JSON → Execute pre_analysis → Check execution_config.method → (CLI: handoff to CLI tool | Agent: direct implementation) → Update TODO_LIST.md → Generate summary
|
||||
`
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Step 2: Wait for completion
|
||||
const result = wait({
|
||||
ids: [agentId],
|
||||
timeout_ms: 600000 // 10 minutes per task
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Step 3: Close agent (IMPORTANT: always close)
|
||||
close_agent({ id: agentId });
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Markers**:
|
||||
- `Implement` keyword: Triggers tech stack detection and guidelines loading
|
||||
- `[FLOW_CONTROL]`: Triggers flow_control.pre_analysis execution
|
||||
|
||||
**Why Path-Based**: Agent (code-developer.md) autonomously:
|
||||
- Reads and parses task JSON (requirements, acceptance, flow_control, execution_config)
|
||||
- Executes pre_analysis steps (Phase 1: context gathering)
|
||||
- Checks execution_config.method (Phase 2: determine mode)
|
||||
- CLI mode: Builds handoff prompt and executes via ccw cli with resume strategy
|
||||
- Agent mode: Directly implements using modification_points and logic_flow
|
||||
- Generates structured summary with integration points
|
||||
|
||||
Embedding task content in prompt creates duplication and conflicts with agent's parsing logic.
|
||||
|
||||
### Agent Assignment Rules
|
||||
```
|
||||
meta.agent specified → Use specified agent
|
||||
meta.agent missing → Infer from meta.type:
|
||||
- "feature" → @code-developer (role: ~/.codex/agents/code-developer.md)
|
||||
- "test-gen" → @code-developer (role: ~/.codex/agents/code-developer.md)
|
||||
- "test-fix" → @test-fix-agent (role: ~/.codex/agents/test-fix-agent.md)
|
||||
- "review" → @universal-executor (role: ~/.codex/agents/universal-executor.md)
|
||||
- "docs" → @doc-generator (role: ~/.codex/agents/doc-generator.md)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Data Flow
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Phase 1 (Discovery) → selectedSessionId, sessionMetadata
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Phase 2 (Validation) → validated paths (IMPL_PLAN.md, TODO_LIST.md, .task/)
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Phase 3 (TodoWrite Gen) → todoWriteList, sessionContextPaths
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Phase 4 (Execute) → per-task: taskJson (lazy), spawn_agent → wait → close_agent, summaryDoc
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Phase 5 (Completion) → updatedStatuses, userChoice (review|complete)
|
||||
```
|
||||

||||

|

## Auto-Commit Mode (--with-commit)
|
||||
|
||||
**Behavior**: After each agent task completes, automatically commit changes based on summary document.
|
||||
|
||||
**Minimal Principle**: Only commit files modified by the completed task.
|
||||
|
||||
**Commit Message Format**: `{type}: {task-title} - {summary}`
|
||||
|
||||
**Type Mapping** (from `meta.type`):
|
||||
- `feature` → `feat` | `bugfix` → `fix` | `refactor` → `refactor`
|
||||
- `test-gen` → `test` | `docs` → `docs` | `review` → `chore`
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# 1. Read summary from .summaries/{task-id}-summary.md
|
||||
# 2. Extract files from "Files Modified" section
|
||||
# 3. Commit: git add <files> && git commit -m "{type}: {title} - {summary}"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Error Handling**: Skip commit on no changes/missing summary, log errors, continue workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
## Error Handling & Recovery
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Errors & Recovery
|
||||
|
||||
| Error Type | Cause | Recovery Strategy | Max Attempts |
|
||||
|-----------|-------|------------------|--------------|
|
||||
| **Discovery Errors** |
|
||||
| No active session | No sessions in `.workflow/active/` | Create or resume session: `workflow:plan "project"` | N/A |
|
||||
| Multiple sessions | Multiple sessions in `.workflow/active/` | Prompt user selection | N/A |
|
||||
| Corrupted session | Invalid JSON files | Recreate session structure or validate files | N/A |
|
||||
| **Execution Errors** |
|
||||
| Agent failure | Agent crash/timeout | Retry with simplified context (close_agent first, then spawn new) | 2 |
|
||||
| Flow control error | Command failure | Skip optional, fail critical | 1 per step |
|
||||
| Context loading error | Missing dependencies | Reload from JSON, use defaults | 3 |
|
||||
| JSON file corruption | File system issues | Restore from backup/recreate | 1 |
|
||||
| **Lifecycle Errors** |
|
||||
| Agent timeout | wait timed out | send_input to prompt completion, or close_agent and retry | 2 |
|
||||
| Orphaned agent | Agent not closed after error | Ensure close_agent in error paths | N/A |
|
||||
|
||||
### Error Prevention
|
||||
- **Pre-flight Checks**: Validate session integrity before execution
|
||||
- **Backup Strategy**: Create task snapshots before major operations
|
||||
- **Atomic Updates**: Update JSON files atomically to prevent corruption
|
||||
- **Dependency Validation**: Check all depends_on references exist
|
||||
- **Context Verification**: Ensure all required context is available
|
||||
- **Lifecycle Cleanup**: Always close_agent in both success and error paths
|
||||
|
||||
### Error Recovery with Lifecycle Management
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// Safe agent execution pattern with error handling
|
||||
let agentId = null;
|
||||
try {
|
||||
agentId = spawn_agent({ message: taskPrompt });
|
||||
const result = wait({ ids: [agentId], timeout_ms: 600000 });
|
||||
|
||||
if (result.timed_out) {
|
||||
// Option 1: Send prompt to complete
|
||||
send_input({ id: agentId, message: "Please wrap up and generate summary." });
|
||||
const retryResult = wait({ ids: [agentId], timeout_ms: 120000 });
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Process results...
|
||||
close_agent({ id: agentId });
|
||||
} catch (error) {
|
||||
// Ensure cleanup on error
|
||||
if (agentId) close_agent({ id: agentId });
|
||||
// Handle error (retry or skip task)
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Flag Parsing
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
const autoYes = $ARGUMENTS.includes('--yes') || $ARGUMENTS.includes('-y')
|
||||
const withCommit = $ARGUMENTS.includes('--with-commit')
|
||||
```
