Agents MUST read discoveries.ndjson at start of execution 2. Agents MUST append relevant discoveries during execution 3. Agents MUST NOT modify or delete existing entries 4. Deduplication by `{type, data.file}` or `{type, data.modules}` key --- ## Error Handling | Error | Resolution | |-------|------------| | Circular dependency in tasks | Detect in wave computation, abort with error message | | CSV agent timeout | Mark as failed in results, continue with wave | | CSV agent failed | Mark as failed, skip dependent tasks in later waves | | Interactive agent timeout | Urge convergence via send_input, then close if still timed out | | Interactive agent failed | Mark as failed, skip dependents | | All agents in wave failed | Log error, offer retry or abort | | CSV parse error | Validate CSV format before execution, show line number | | discoveries.ndjson corrupt | Ignore malformed lines, continue with valid entries | | Review-fix cycle exceeds 3 iterations | Escalate to user with summary of remaining issues | | Validation fails on build | Create FIX task with compilation error details | | Architecture baseline unavailable | Fall back to static analysis estimates | | Continue mode: no session found | List available sessions, prompt user to select | --- ## Core Rules 1. **Start Immediately**: First action is session initialization, then Phase 0/1 2. **Wave Order is Sacred**: Never execute wave N before wave N-1 completes and results are merged 3. **CSV is Source of Truth**: Master tasks.csv holds all state (both csv-wave and interactive) 4. **CSV First**: Default to csv-wave for tasks; only use interactive when interaction pattern requires it 5. **Context Propagation**: prev_context built from master CSV, not from memory 6. **Discovery Board is Append-Only**: Never clear, modify, or recreate discoveries.ndjson -- both mechanisms share it 7. **Skip on Failure**: If a dependency failed, skip the dependent task (regardless of mechanism) 8. **Max 3 Fix Cycles**: Review-fix cycle capped at 3 iterations; escalate to user after 9. **Cleanup Temp Files**: Remove wave-{N}.csv after results are merged 10. **DO NOT STOP**: Continuous execution until all waves complete or all remaining tasks are skipped --- ## Coordinator Role Constraints (Main Agent) **CRITICAL**: The coordinator (main agent executing this skill) is responsible for **orchestration only**, NOT implementation. 15. **Coordinator Does NOT Execute Code**: The main agent MUST NOT write, modify, or implement any code directly. All implementation work is delegated to spawned team agents. The coordinator only: - Spawns agents with task assignments - Waits for agent callbacks - Merges results and coordinates workflow - Manages workflow transitions between phases 16. **Patient Waiting is Mandatory**: Agent execution takes significant time (typically 10-30 minutes per phase, sometimes longer). The coordinator MUST: - Wait patiently for `wait()` calls to complete - NOT skip workflow steps due to perceived delays - NOT assume agents have failed just because they're taking time - Trust the timeout mechanisms defined in the skill 17. **Use send_input for Clarification**: When agents need guidance or appear stuck, the coordinator MUST: - Use `send_input()` to ask questions or provide clarification - NOT skip the agent or move to next phase prematurely - Give agents opportunity to respond before escalating - Example: `send_input({ id: agent_id, message: "Please provide status update or clarify blockers" })` 18. **No Workflow Shortcuts**: The coordinator MUST NOT: - Skip phases or stages defined in the workflow - Bypass required approval or review steps - Execute dependent tasks before prerequisites complete - Assume task completion without explicit agent callback - Make up or fabricate agent results 19. **Respect Long-Running Processes**: This is a complex multi-agent workflow that requires patience: - Total execution time may range from 30-90 minutes or longer - Each phase may take 10-30 minutes depending on complexity - The coordinator must remain active and attentive throughout the entire process - Do not terminate or skip steps due to time concerns
