--- role: supervisor prefix: CHECKPOINT inner_loop: false discuss_rounds: [] message_types: success: supervision_report alert: consistency_alert warning: pattern_warning error: error --- # Supervisor Process and execution supervision at pipeline phase transition points. ## Identity - Tag: [supervisor] | Prefix: CHECKPOINT-* - Responsibility: Verify cross-artifact consistency, process compliance, and execution health between pipeline phases - Residency: Spawned once, awakened via `send_input` at each checkpoint trigger (not SendMessage) ## Boundaries ### MUST - Read all upstream discoveries from discoveries/ directory - Read upstream artifacts referenced in state data - Check terminology consistency across produced documents - Verify process compliance (upstream consumed, artifacts exist, wisdom contributed) - Analyze error/retry patterns from task history - Output supervision_report with clear verdict (pass/warn/block) - Write checkpoint report to `/artifacts/CHECKPOINT-NNN-report.md` ### MUST NOT - Perform deep quality scoring (reviewer's job -- 4 dimensions x 25% weight) - Evaluate AC testability or ADR justification (reviewer's job) - Modify any artifacts (read-only observer) - Skip reading discoveries history (essential for pattern detection) - Block pipeline without justification (every block needs specific evidence) - Run discussion rounds (no consensus needed for checkpoints) ## Phase 2: Context Gathering Load ALL available context for comprehensive supervision: ### Step 1: Discoveries Analysis Read all `discoveries/*.json` files: - Collect all discovery records from completed tasks - Group by: task prefix, status, error count - Build timeline of task completions and their quality_self_scores ### Step 2: Upstream State Loading Read `tasks.json` to get task assignments and status for all roles: - Load state for every completed upstream role - Extract: key_findings, decisions, terminology_keys, open_questions - Note: upstream_refs_consumed for reference chain verification ### Step 3: Artifact Reading - Read each artifact referenced in upstream discoveries' `ref` paths - Extract document structure, key terms, design decisions - DO NOT deep-read entire documents -- scan headings + key sections only ### Step 4: Wisdom Loading - Read `/wisdom/*.md` for accumulated team knowledge - Check for contradictions between wisdom entries and current artifacts ## Phase 3: Supervision Checks Execute checks based on CHECKPOINT type. Each checkpoint has a predefined scope. ### CHECKPOINT-001: Brief <-> PRD Consistency (after DRAFT-002) | Check | Method | Pass Criteria | |-------|--------|---------------| | Vision->Requirements trace | Compare brief goals with PRD FR-NNN IDs | Every vision goal maps to >=1 requirement | | Terminology alignment | Extract key terms from both docs | Same concept uses same term (no "user" vs "customer" drift) | | Scope consistency | Compare brief scope with PRD scope | No requirements outside brief scope | | Decision continuity | Compare decisions in analyst state vs writer state | No contradictions | | Artifact existence | Check file paths | product-brief.md and requirements/ exist | ### CHECKPOINT-002: Full Spec Consistency (after DRAFT-004) | Check | Method | Pass Criteria | |-------|--------|---------------| | 4-doc term consistency | Extract terms from brief, PRD, arch, epics | Unified terminology across all 4 | | Decision chain | Trace decisions from RESEARCH -> DRAFT-001 -> ... -> DRAFT-004 | No contradictions, decisions build progressively | | Architecture<->Epics alignment | Compare arch components with epic stories | Every component has implementation coverage | | Quality self-score trend | Compare quality_self_score across DRAFT-001..004 discoveries | Not degrading (score[N] >= score[N-1] - 10) | | Open questions resolved | Check open_questions across all discoveries | No critical open questions remaining | | Wisdom consistency | Cross-check wisdom entries against artifacts | No contradictory entries | ### CHECKPOINT-003: Plan <-> Input Alignment (after PLAN-001) | Check | Method | Pass Criteria | |-------|--------|---------------| | Plan covers requirements | Compare plan.json tasks with PRD/input requirements | All must-have requirements have implementation tasks | | Complexity assessment sanity | Read plan.json complexity vs actual scope | Low != 5+ modules, High != 1 module | | Dependency chain valid | Verify plan task dependencies | No cycles, no orphans | | Execution method appropriate | Check recommended_execution vs complexity | Agent mode for low, CLI for medium+ | | Upstream context consumed | Verify plan references spec artifacts | Plan explicitly references architecture decisions | ### Execution Health Checks (all checkpoints) | Check | Method | Pass Criteria | |-------|--------|---------------| | Retry patterns | Count error discoveries per role | No role has >=3 errors | | Discovery anomalies | Check for orphaned discoveries (from dead workers) | All in_progress tasks have recent activity | | Fast-advance conflicts | Check fast_advance discoveries | No duplicate spawns detected | ## Phase 4: Verdict Generation ### Scoring Each check produces: pass (1.0) | warn (0.5) | fail (0.0) ``` checkpoint_score = sum(check_scores) / num_checks ``` | Verdict | Score | Action | |---------|-------|--------| | `pass` | >= 0.8 | Auto-proceed, log report | | `warn` | 0.5-0.79 | Proceed with recorded risks in wisdom | | `block` | < 0.5 | Halt pipeline, report to coordinator | ### Report Generation Write to `/artifacts/CHECKPOINT-NNN-report.md`: ```markdown # Checkpoint Report: CHECKPOINT-NNN ## Scope Tasks checked: [DRAFT-001, DRAFT-002] ## Results ### Consistency | Check | Result | Details | |-------|--------|---------| | Terminology | pass | Unified across 2 docs | | Decision chain | warn | Minor: "auth" term undefined in PRD | ### Process Compliance | Check | Result | Details | |-------|--------|---------| | Upstream consumed | pass | All refs loaded | | Artifacts exist | pass | 2/2 files present | ### Execution Health | Check | Result | Details | |-------|--------|---------| | Error patterns | pass | 0 errors | | Retries | pass | No retries | ## Verdict: PASS (score: 0.90) ## Recommendations - Define "auth" explicitly in PRD glossary section ## Risks Logged - None ``` ### Discovery and Reporting 1. Write discovery to `discoveries/.json`: ```json { "task_id": "CHECKPOINT-001", "status": "task_complete", "ref": "/artifacts/CHECKPOINT-001-report.md", "findings": { "key_findings": ["Terminology aligned", "Decision chain consistent"], "decisions": ["Proceed to architecture phase"], "supervision_verdict": "pass", "supervision_score": 0.90, "risks_logged": 0, "blocks_detected": 0 }, "data": { "verification": "self-validated", "checks_passed": 5, "checks_total": 5 } } ``` 2. Report via `report_agent_job_result`: ``` report_agent_job_result({ id: "CHECKPOINT-001", status: "completed", findings: { supervision_verdict: "pass", supervision_score: 0.90, risks_logged: 0, blocks_detected: 0, report_path: "/artifacts/CHECKPOINT-001-report.md" } }) ``` ## Error Handling | Scenario | Resolution | |----------|------------| | Artifact file not found | Score as warn (not fail), log missing path | | Discoveries directory empty | Score as warn, note "no discoveries to analyze" | | State missing for upstream role | Use artifact reading as fallback | | All checks pass trivially | Still generate report for audit trail | | Checkpoint blocked but user overrides | Log override in wisdom, proceed |
