|
||||
|
||||
## Design Context
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Need systematic orchestration of phase planning and execution
|
||||
**Objectives**:
|
||||
1. Coordinate project-planner and stage-executor agents
|
||||
2. Enforce TDD compliance and code limits
|
||||
3. Provide error detection and analysis
|
||||
4. Track progress across stages
|
||||
5. Generate comprehensive execution reports
|
||||
|
||||
**Constraints**:
|
||||
- ≤150 lines total
|
||||
- Use ≥2 Claude Code features
|
||||
- Clear dependencies declaration
|
||||
- Explicit constraint block
|
||||
|
||||
### Complexity Assessment
|
||||
|
||||
**Classification**: Moderate
|
||||
- **Target lines**: 60-120
|
||||
- **Target functions**: 5-8
|
||||
- **Actual**: 92 lines, 7 functions ✅
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale**: Multi-agent orchestration with error handling and progress tracking requires moderate complexity but shouldn't exceed 120 lines.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Function Decomposition (7 functions)
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision**: Decompose into 7 distinct functions
|
||||
|
||||
**Functions**:
|
||||
1. `parse_feature` - Extract requirements from spec
|
||||
2. `generate_plan` - Invoke project-planner agent
|
||||
3. `execute_stage` - Invoke stage-executor agent
|
||||
4. `quality_check` - Validate execution quality
|
||||
5. `error_analysis` - Analyze errors via MCP
|
||||
6. `progress_tracking` - Track execution progress
|
||||
7. `execute_phase` - Main orchestration flow
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale**:
|
||||
- Each function has single responsibility
|
||||
- Clear separation between parsing, planning, execution, validation
|
||||
- Enables testing and modification of individual components
|
||||
- Within target range (5-8 functions)
|
||||
|
||||
**Trade-offs**:
|
||||
- ✅ Pro: High maintainability
|
||||
- ✅ Pro: Clear structure
|
||||
- ⚠️ Con: Slightly more lines than minimal implementation
|
||||
- Verdict: Worth the clarity gain
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Agent Composition Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision**: Use sequential composition (planner → executor per stage)
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
generate_plan :: Requirements → Plan
|
||||
generate_plan(req) =
|
||||
agent(project-planner, "${req.objectives}...") → plan
|
||||
|
||||
execute_stage :: (Plan, StageNumber) → StageResult
|
||||
execute_stage(plan, n) =
|
||||
agent(stage-executor, plan.stages[n].description) → result
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale**:
|
||||
- Project-planner creates comprehensive plan upfront
|
||||
- Stage-executor handles execution details
|
||||
- Clean separation between planning and execution concerns
|
||||
- Aligns with TDD workflow (plan → test → implement)
|
||||
|
||||
**Alternatives considered**:
|
||||
1. **Single agent**: Rejected - too complex, violates SRP
|
||||
2. **Parallel execution**: Rejected - stages have dependencies
|
||||
3. **Reactive planning**: Rejected - upfront planning preferred for TDD
|
||||
|
||||
**Trade-offs**:
|
||||
- ✅ Pro: Clear separation of concerns
|
||||
- ✅ Pro: Reuses existing agents effectively
|
||||
- ⚠️ Con: Sequential execution slower than parallel
|
||||
- Verdict: Correctness > speed for development workflow
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. MCP Integration for Error Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision**: Use query_tool_errors for automatic error detection
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
error_analysis :: Execution → ErrorReport
|
||||
error_analysis(exec) =
|
||||
mcp::query_tool_errors(limit: 20) → recent_errors ∧
|
||||
categorize(recent_errors) ∧
|
||||
suggest_fixes(recent_errors)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale**:
|
||||
- Automatic detection of tool execution errors
|
||||
- Provides context for debugging
|
||||
- Enables intelligent retry strategies
|
||||
- Leverages meta-cc MCP server capabilities
|
||||
|
||||
**Alternatives considered**:
|
||||
1. **Manual error checking**: Rejected - error-prone, incomplete
|
||||
2. **No error analysis**: Rejected - reduces debuggability
|
||||
3. **Query all errors**: Rejected - limit: 20 sufficient, avoids noise
|
||||
|
||||
**Trade-offs**:
|
||||
- ✅ Pro: Automatic error detection
|
||||
- ✅ Pro: Rich error context
|
||||
- ⚠️ Con: Dependency on meta-cc MCP server
|
||||
- Verdict: Integration worth the dependency
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Progress Tracking
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision**: Explicit progress_tracking function
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
progress_tracking :: [StageResult] → ProgressReport
|
||||
progress_tracking(results) =
|
||||
completed = count(r ∈ results | r.status == "complete") ∧
|
||||
percentage = completed / |results| → progress
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale**:
|
||||
- User needs visibility into phase execution
|
||||
- Enables early termination decisions
|
||||
- Supports resumption after interruption
|
||||
- Minimal overhead (5 lines)
|
||||
|
||||
**Alternatives considered**:
|
||||
1. **No tracking**: Rejected - user lacks visibility
|
||||
2. **Inline in main**: Rejected - clutters orchestration logic
|
||||
3. **External monitoring**: Rejected - unnecessary complexity
|
||||
|
||||
**Trade-offs**:
|
||||
- ✅ Pro: User visibility
|
||||
- ✅ Pro: Clean separation
|
||||
- ⚠️ Con: Additional function (+5 lines)
|
||||
- Verdict: User visibility worth the cost
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Constraint Block Design
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision**: Explicit constraints block with predicates
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
constraints :: PhaseExecution → Bool
|
||||
constraints(exec) =
|
||||
∀stage ∈ exec.plan.stages:
|
||||
|code(stage)| ≤ 200 ∧
|
||||
|test(stage)| ≤ 200 ∧
|
||||
coverage(stage) ≥ 0.80 ∧
|
||||
|code(exec.phase)| ≤ 500 ∧
|
||||
tdd_compliance(exec)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale**:
|
||||
- Makes constraints explicit and verifiable
|
||||
- Symbolic logic more compact than prose
|
||||
- Universal quantifier (∀) applies to all stages
|
||||
- Easy to modify or extend constraints
|
||||
|
||||
**Alternatives considered**:
|
||||
1. **Natural language**: Rejected - verbose, ambiguous
|
||||
2. **No constraints**: Rejected - TDD compliance critical
|
||||
3. **Inline in functions**: Rejected - scattered, hard to verify
|
||||
|
||||
**Trade-offs**:
|
||||
- ✅ Pro: Clarity and verifiability
|
||||
- ✅ Pro: Compact expression
|
||||
- ⚠️ Con: Requires symbolic logic knowledge
|
||||
- Verdict: Clarity worth the learning curve

## Compactness Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### Line Count Breakdown
|
||||
|
||||
| Section | Lines | % Total | Notes |
|
||||
|---------|-------|---------|-------|
|
||||
| Frontmatter | 4 | 4.3% | name, description |
|
||||
| Lambda contract | 1 | 1.1% | Inputs, outputs, constraints |
|
||||
| Dependencies | 6 | 6.5% | agents_required, mcp_tools_required |
|
||||
| Functions 1-6 | 55 | 59.8% | Core logic (parse, plan, execute, check, analyze, track) |
|
||||
| Function 7 (main) | 22 | 23.9% | Orchestration flow |
|
||||
| Constraints | 9 | 9.8% | Constraint predicates |
|
||||
| Output | 4 | 4.3% | Artifact generation |
|
||||
| **Total** | **92** | **100%** | Within target (≤150) |
|
||||
|
||||
### Compactness Score
|
||||
|
||||
**Formula**: `1 - (lines / 150)`
|
||||
|
||||
**Calculation**: `1 - (92 / 150) = 0.387`
|
||||
|
||||
**Assessment**:
|
||||
- Target for moderate complexity: ≥0.30 (≤105 lines)
|
||||
- Achieved: 0.387 ✅ (92 lines)
|
||||
- Efficiency: 38.7% below maximum
|
||||
|
||||
### Compactness Techniques Applied
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Symbolic Logic**:
|
||||
- Quantifiers: `∀stage ∈ exec.plan.stages`
|
||||
- Logic operators: `∧` instead of "and"
|
||||
- Comparison: `≥`, `≤` instead of prose
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Function Composition**:
|
||||
- Sequential: `parse(spec) → plan → execute → report`
|
||||
- Reduces temporary variable clutter
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Type Signatures**:
|
||||
- Compact: `parse_feature :: FeatureSpec → Requirements`
|
||||
- Replaces verbose comments
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Lambda Contract**:
|
||||
- One line: `λ(feature_spec, todo_ref?) → (plan, execution_report, status) | TDD ∧ code_limits`
|
||||
- Replaces paragraphs of prose
|
||||
|
||||
### Verbose Comparison
|
||||
|
||||
**Hypothetical verbose implementation**: ~180-220 lines
|
||||
- Natural language instead of symbols: +40 lines
|
||||
- No function decomposition: +30 lines
|
||||
- Inline comments instead of types: +20 lines
|
||||
- Explicit constraints prose: +15 lines
|
||||
|
||||
**Savings**: 88-128 lines (49-58% reduction)

|
||||
## Limitations and Future Work
|
||||
|
||||
### Current Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Single domain validated**: Only phase planning/execution tested
|
||||
2. **No practical validation**: Theoretical soundness, not yet field-tested
|
||||
3. **query_summaries unused**: Declared but not integrated in core logic
|
||||
4. **No skill references**: Domain doesn't require skills
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommended Enhancements
|
||||
|
||||
**Short-term** (1-2 hours):
|
||||
1. Test on real TODO.md item
|
||||
2. Integrate query_summaries for planning context
|
||||
3. Add error recovery strategies
|
||||
|
||||
**Long-term** (3-4 hours):
|
||||
1. Apply methodology to 2 more domains
|
||||
2. Validate cross-domain transferability
|
||||
3. Create light template variant for simpler agents
|
||||

# Claude Code Integration Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
Formal patterns for integrating Claude Code features (agents, MCP tools, skills) in subagent prompts.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Subagent Composition
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
agent(type, description) :: Context → Output
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Semantics**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
agent(type, desc) =
|
||||
invoke_task_tool(subagent_type: type, prompt: desc) ∧
|
||||
await_completion ∧
|
||||
return output
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Usage in prompt**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
agent(project-planner,
|
||||
"Create detailed TDD implementation plan for: ${objectives}\n" +
|
||||
"Scope: ${scope}\n" +
|
||||
"Constraints: ${constraints}"
|
||||
) → plan
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Actual invocation** (Claude Code):
|
||||
```python
|
||||
Task(subagent_type="project-planner", description=f"Create detailed TDD...")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Declaration**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
agents_required :: [AgentType]
|
||||
agents_required = [project-planner, stage-executor, ...]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Best practices**:
|
||||
- Declare all agents in dependencies section
|
||||
- Pass context explicitly via description string
|
||||
- Use meaningful variable names for outputs (→ plan, → result)
|
||||
- Handle agent failures with conditional logic
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
generate_plan :: Requirements → Plan
|
||||
generate_plan(req) =
|
||||
agent(project-planner, "Create plan for: ${req.objectives}") → plan ∧
|
||||
validate_plan(plan) ∧
|
||||
return plan
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. MCP Tool Integration
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
mcp::tool_name(params) :: → Data
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Semantics**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
mcp::tool_name(p) =
|
||||
direct_invocation(mcp__namespace__tool_name, p) ∧
|
||||
handle_result ∧
|
||||
return data
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Usage in prompt**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
mcp::query_tool_errors(limit: 20) → recent_errors
|
||||
mcp::query_summaries() → summaries
|
||||
mcp::query_user_messages(pattern: ".*bug.*") → bug_reports
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Actual invocation** (Claude Code):
|
||||
```python
|
||||
mcp__meta_cc__query_tool_errors(limit=20)
|
||||
mcp__meta_cc__query_summaries()
|
||||
mcp__meta_cc__query_user_messages(pattern=".*bug.*")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Declaration**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
mcp_tools_required :: [ToolName]
|
||||
mcp_tools_required = [
|
||||
mcp__meta-cc__query_tool_errors,
|
||||
mcp__meta-cc__query_summaries,
|
||||
mcp__meta-cc__query_user_messages
|
||||
]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Best practices**:
|
||||
- Use mcp:: prefix for clarity
|
||||
- Declare all MCP tools in dependencies section
|
||||
- Specify full tool name in declaration (mcp__namespace__tool)
|
||||
- Handle empty results gracefully
|
||||
- Limit result sizes with parameters
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
error_analysis :: Execution → ErrorReport
|
||||
error_analysis(exec) =
|
||||
mcp::query_tool_errors(limit: 20) → recent_errors ∧
|
||||
if |recent_errors| > 0 then
|
||||
categorize(recent_errors) ∧
|
||||
suggest_fixes(recent_errors)
|
||||
else
|
||||
report("No errors found")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Skill Reference
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
skill(name) :: Context → Result
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Semantics**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
skill(name) =
|
||||
invoke_skill_tool(command: name) ∧
|
||||
await_completion ∧
|
||||
return guidelines
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Usage in prompt**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
skill(testing-strategy) → test_guidelines
|
||||
skill(code-refactoring) → refactor_patterns
|
||||
skill(methodology-bootstrapping) → baime_framework
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Actual invocation** (Claude Code):
|
||||
```python
|
||||
Skill(command="testing-strategy")
|
||||
Skill(command="code-refactoring")
|
||||
Skill(command="methodology-bootstrapping")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Declaration**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
skills_required :: [SkillName]
|
||||
skills_required = [testing-strategy, code-refactoring, ...]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Best practices**:
|
||||
- Reference skill by name (kebab-case)
|
||||
- Declare all skills in dependencies section
|
||||
- Use skill guidelines to inform agent decisions
|
||||
- Skills provide context, not direct execution
|
||||
- Apply skill patterns via agent logic
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
enhance_tests :: CodeArtifact → ImprovedTests
|
||||
enhance_tests(code) =
|
||||
skill(testing-strategy) → guidelines ∧
|
||||
current_coverage = analyze_coverage(code) ∧
|
||||
gaps = identify_gaps(code, guidelines) ∧
|
||||
generate_tests(gaps, guidelines)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Resource Loading
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
read(path) :: Path → Content
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Semantics**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
read(p) =
|
||||
load_file(p) ∧
|
||||
parse_content ∧
|
||||
return content
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Usage in prompt**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
read("docs/plan.md") → plan_doc
|
||||
read("iteration_{n-1}.md") → previous_iteration
|
||||
read("TODO.md") → tasks
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Actual invocation** (Claude Code):
|
||||
```python
|
||||
Read(file_path="docs/plan.md")
|
||||
Read(file_path=f"iteration_{n-1}.md")
|
||||
Read(file_path="TODO.md")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Best practices**:
|
||||
- Use relative paths when possible
|
||||
- Handle file not found errors
|
||||
- Parse structured content (markdown, JSON)
|
||||
- Extract relevant sections only
|
||||
- Cache frequently accessed files
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
load_context :: IterationNumber → Context
|
||||
load_context(n) =
|
||||
if n > 0 then
|
||||
read(f"iteration_{n-1}.md") → prev ∧
|
||||
extract_state(prev)
|
||||
else
|
||||
initial_state()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Combined Integration
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern**: Multiple feature types in single prompt
|
||||
|
||||
**Example** (phase-planner-executor):
|
||||
```
|
||||
execute_phase :: FeatureSpec → PhaseReport
|
||||
execute_phase(spec) =
|
||||
# Agent composition
|
||||
plan = agent(project-planner, spec.objectives) →
|
||||
|
||||
# Sequential agent execution
|
||||
∀stage_num ∈ [1..|plan.stages|]:
|
||||
result = agent(stage-executor, plan.stages[stage_num]) →
|
||||
|
||||
# MCP tool integration for error analysis
|
||||
if result.status == "error" then
|
||||
errors = mcp::query_tool_errors(limit: 20) →
|
||||
analysis = analyze(errors) →
|
||||
return (plan, results, analysis)
|
||||
|
||||
# Final reporting
|
||||
report(plan, results, quality_check, progress_tracking)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Integration score**: 4 features (2 agents + 2 MCP tools) → 0.75
|
||||
|
||||
**Best practices**:
|
||||
- Use ≥3 features for high integration score (≥0.75)
|
||||
- Combine patterns appropriately (orchestration + analysis)
|
||||
- Declare all dependencies upfront
|
||||
- Handle failures at integration boundaries
|
||||
- Maintain compactness despite multiple integrations
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Conditional Integration
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern**: Feature usage based on runtime conditions
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
execute_with_monitoring :: Task → Result
|
||||
execute_with_monitoring(task) =
|
||||
result = agent(executor, task) →
|
||||
|
||||
if result.status == "error" then
|
||||
# Conditional MCP integration
|
||||
errors = mcp::query_tool_errors(limit: 10) →
|
||||
recent_patterns = mcp::query_summaries() →
|
||||
enhanced_diagnosis = combine(errors, recent_patterns)
|
||||
else if result.needs_improvement then
|
||||
# Conditional skill reference
|
||||
guidelines = skill(code-refactoring) →
|
||||
suggestions = apply_guidelines(result, guidelines)
|
||||
else
|
||||
result
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefits**:
|
||||
- Resource-efficient (only invoke when needed)
|
||||
- Clearer error handling
|
||||
- Adaptive behavior
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Integration Complexity Matrix
|
||||
|
||||
| Features | Integration Score | Complexity | Example |
|
||||
|----------|------------------|------------|---------|
|
||||
| 1 agent | 0.25 | Low | Simple executor |
|
||||
| 2 agents | 0.50 | Medium | Planner + executor |
|
||||
| 2 agents + 1 MCP | 0.60 | Medium-High | Executor + error query |
|
||||
| 2 agents + 2 MCP | 0.75 | High | phase-planner-executor |
|
||||
| 3 agents + 2 MCP + 1 skill | 0.90 | Very High | Complex orchestration |
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation**: Target 0.50-0.75 for maintainability
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Dependencies Section Template
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
## Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
agents_required :: [AgentType]
|
||||
agents_required = [
|
||||
agent-type-1,
|
||||
agent-type-2,
|
||||
...
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
mcp_tools_required :: [ToolName]
|
||||
mcp_tools_required = [
|
||||
mcp__namespace__tool_1,
|
||||
mcp__namespace__tool_2,
|
||||
...
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
skills_required :: [SkillName]
|
||||
skills_required = [
|
||||
skill-name-1,
|
||||
skill-name-2,
|
||||
...
|
||||
]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Rules**:
|
||||
- All sections optional (omit if not used)
|
||||
- List all features used in prompt
|
||||
- Use correct naming conventions (kebab-case for skills/agents, mcp__namespace__tool for MCP)
|
||||
- Order: agents, MCP tools, skills
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Error Handling Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Agent Failure
|
||||
```
|
||||
result = agent(executor, task) →
|
||||
if result.status == "error" then
|
||||
error_analysis(result) →
|
||||
return (partial_result, error_report)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### MCP Tool Empty Results
|
||||
```
|
||||
data = mcp::query_tool(params) →
|
||||
if |data| == 0 then
|
||||
return "No data available for analysis"
|
||||
else
|
||||
process(data)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Skill Not Available
|
||||
```
|
||||
guidelines = skill(optional-skill) →
|
||||
if guidelines.available then
|
||||
apply(guidelines)
|
||||
else
|
||||
use_default_approach()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||

# Subagent Prompt Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
Core patterns for constructing Claude Code subagent prompts.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Pattern 1: Orchestration Agent
|
||||
|
||||
**Use case**: Coordinate multiple subagents for complex workflows
|
||||
|
||||
**Structure**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
orchestrate :: Task → Result
|
||||
orchestrate(task) =
|
||||
plan = agent(planner, task.spec) →
|
||||
∀stage ∈ plan.stages:
|
||||
result = agent(executor, stage) →
|
||||
validate(result) →
|
||||
aggregate(results)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**: phase-planner-executor
|
||||
- Coordinates project-planner and stage-executor
|
||||
- Sequential stage execution with validation
|
||||
- Error detection and recovery
|
||||
- Progress tracking
|
||||
|
||||
**When to use**:
|
||||
- Multi-step workflows requiring planning
|
||||
- Need to coordinate 2+ specialized agents
|
||||
- Sequential stages with dependencies
|
||||
- Error handling between stages critical
|
||||
|
||||
**Complexity**: Moderate to Complex (60-150 lines)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Pattern 2: Analysis Agent
|
||||
|
||||
**Use case**: Analyze data via MCP tools and generate insights
|
||||
|
||||
**Structure**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
analyze :: Query → Report
|
||||
analyze(query) =
|
||||
data = mcp::query_tool(query.params) →
|
||||
patterns = extract_patterns(data) →
|
||||
insights = generate_insights(patterns) →
|
||||
report(patterns, insights)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**: error-analyzer (hypothetical)
|
||||
- Query tool errors via MCP
|
||||
- Categorize error patterns
|
||||
- Suggest fixes
|
||||
- Generate analysis report
|
||||
|
||||
**When to use**:
|
||||
- Need to query session data
|
||||
- Pattern extraction from data
|
||||
- Insight generation from analysis
|
||||
- Reporting on historical data
|
||||
|
||||
**Complexity**: Simple to Moderate (30-90 lines)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Pattern 3: Enhancement Agent
|
||||
|
||||
**Use case**: Apply skill guidelines to improve artifacts
|
||||
|
||||
**Structure**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
enhance :: Artifact → ImprovedArtifact
|
||||
enhance(artifact) =
|
||||
guidelines = skill(domain-skill) →
|
||||
analysis = analyze(artifact, guidelines) →
|
||||
improvements = generate(analysis) →
|
||||
apply(improvements, artifact)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**: code-refactorer (hypothetical)
|
||||
- Load refactoring skill guidelines
|
||||
- Analyze code against guidelines
|
||||
- Generate improvement suggestions
|
||||
- Apply or report improvements
|
||||
|
||||
**When to use**:
|
||||
- Systematic artifact improvement
|
||||
- Apply established skill patterns
|
||||
- Need consistent quality standards
|
||||
- Repeatable enhancement process
|
||||
|
||||
**Complexity**: Moderate (60-120 lines)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Pattern 4: Validation Agent
|
||||
|
||||
**Use case**: Validate artifacts against criteria
|
||||
|
||||
**Structure**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
validate :: Artifact → ValidationReport
|
||||
validate(artifact) =
|
||||
criteria = load_criteria() →
|
||||
results = check_all(artifact, criteria) →
|
||||
report(passes, failures, warnings)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**: quality-checker (hypothetical)
|
||||
- Load quality criteria
|
||||
- Check code standards, tests, coverage
|
||||
- Generate pass/fail report
|
||||
- Provide remediation suggestions
|
||||
|
||||
**When to use**:
|
||||
- Pre-commit checks
|
||||
- Quality gates
|
||||
- Compliance validation
|
||||
- Systematic artifact verification
|
||||
|
||||
**Complexity**: Simple to Moderate (30-90 lines)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Pattern Selection Guide
|
||||
|
||||
| Need | Pattern | Complexity | Integration |
|
||||
|------|---------|------------|-------------|
|
||||
| Coordinate agents | Orchestration | High | 2+ agents |
|
||||
| Query & analyze data | Analysis | Medium | MCP tools |
|
||||
| Improve artifacts | Enhancement | Medium | Skills |
|
||||
| Check compliance | Validation | Low | Skills optional |
|
||||
| Multi-step workflow | Orchestration | High | Agents + MCP |
|
||||
| One-step analysis | Analysis | Low | MCP only |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Anti-Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### ❌ Flat Structure (No Decomposition)
|
||||
```
|
||||
# Bad - 100 lines of inline logic
|
||||
λ(input) → output | step1 ∧ step2 ∧ ... ∧ step50
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix**: Decompose into 5-10 functions
|
||||
|
||||
### ❌ Verbose Natural Language
|
||||
```
|
||||
# Bad
|
||||
"First, we need to validate the input. Then, we should..."
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix**: Use symbolic logic and function composition
|
||||
|
||||
### ❌ Missing Dependencies
|
||||
```
|
||||
# Bad - calls agents without declaring
|
||||
agent(mystery-agent, ...) → result
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix**: Explicit dependencies section
|
||||
|
||||
### ❌ Unclear Constraints
|
||||
```
|
||||
# Bad - vague requirements
|
||||
"Make sure code quality is good"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Fix**: Explicit predicates (coverage ≥ 0.80)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Pattern Composition
|
||||
|
||||
Patterns can be composed for complex workflows:
|
||||
|
||||
**Orchestration + Analysis**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
orchestrate(task) =
|
||||
plan = agent(planner, task) →
|
||||
∀stage ∈ plan.stages:
|
||||
result = agent(executor, stage) →
|
||||
if result.status == "error" then
|
||||
analysis = analyze_errors(result) → # Analysis pattern
|
||||
return (partial_results, analysis)
|
||||
aggregate(results)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Enhancement + Validation**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
enhance(artifact) =
|
||||
improved = apply_skill(artifact) →
|
||||
validation = validate(improved) → # Validation pattern
|
||||
if validation.passes then improved else retry(validation.issues)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Quality Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
### Compactness
|
||||
- Simple: ≤60 lines (score ≥0.60)
|
||||
- Moderate: ≤90 lines (score ≥0.40)
|
||||
- Complex: ≤150 lines (score ≥0.00)
|
||||
|
||||
**Formula**: `1 - (lines / 150)`
|
||||
|
||||
### Integration
|
||||
- High: 3+ features (score ≥0.75)
|
||||
- Moderate: 2 features (score ≥0.50)
|
||||
- Low: 1 feature (score ≥0.25)
|
||||
|
||||
**Formula**: `features_used / applicable_features`
|
||||
|
||||
### Clarity
|
||||
- Clear structure (0-1 subjective)
|
||||
- Obvious flow (0-1 subjective)
|
||||
- Self-documenting (0-1 subjective)
|
||||
|
||||
**Target**: All ≥0.80

|
||||
|
||||
## Lambda Calculus
|
||||
|
||||
### Function Definition
|
||||
```
|
||||
λ(parameters) → output | constraints
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
λ(feature_spec, todo_ref?) → (plan, execution_report, status) | TDD ∧ code_limits
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Type Signatures
|
||||
```
|
||||
function_name :: InputType → OutputType
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Examples**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
parse_feature :: FeatureSpec → Requirements
|
||||
execute_stage :: (Plan, StageNumber) → StageResult
|
||||
quality_check :: StageResult → QualityReport
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Function Application
|
||||
```
|
||||
function_name(arguments) = definition
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
parse_feature(spec) =
|
||||
extract(objectives, scope, constraints) ∧
|
||||
identify(deliverables) ∧
|
||||
assess(complexity)
|
||||
```

## Composite Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Conditional Logic
|
||||
```
|
||||
if condition then
|
||||
action1
|
||||
else if condition2 then
|
||||
action2
|
||||
else
|
||||
action3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Compact form**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
condition ? action1 : action2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern Matching
|
||||
```
|
||||
match value:
|
||||
case pattern1 → action1
|
||||
case pattern2 → action2
|
||||
case _ → default_action
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### List Comprehension
|
||||
```
|
||||
[expression | element ∈ collection, predicate(element)]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
completed = [s | s ∈ stages, s.status == "complete"]
|
||||
error_count = |[r | r ∈ results, r.status == "error"]|
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Compactness Examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Verbose vs. Compact
|
||||
|
||||
**Verbose** (50 lines):
|
||||
```
|
||||
First, we need to validate the input to ensure it meets all requirements.
|
||||
If the input is valid, we should proceed to extract the objectives.
|
||||
After extracting objectives, we need to identify the scope.
|
||||
Then we should assess the complexity of the task.
|
||||
Finally, we return the parsed requirements.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Compact** (5 lines):
|
||||
```
|
||||
parse :: Input → Requirements
|
||||
parse(input) =
|
||||
validate(input) ∧
|
||||
extract(objectives, scope) ∧
|
||||
assess(complexity) → requirements
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Constraints
|
||||
|
||||
**Verbose**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
For each stage in the execution plan:
|
||||
- The code should not exceed 200 lines
|
||||
- The tests should not exceed 200 lines
|
||||
- The test coverage should be at least 80%
|
||||
For the entire phase:
|
||||
- The total code should not exceed 500 lines
|
||||
- TDD compliance must be maintained
|
||||
- All tests must pass
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Compact**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
constraints :: PhaseExecution → Bool
|
||||
constraints(exec) =
|
||||
∀stage ∈ exec.plan.stages:
|
||||
|code(stage)| ≤ 200 ∧
|
||||
|test(stage)| ≤ 200 ∧
|
||||
coverage(stage) ≥ 0.80 ∧
|
||||
|code(exec.phase)| ≤ 500 ∧
|
||||
tdd_compliance(exec) ∧
|
||||
all_tests_pass(exec)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Style Guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
### Function Names
|
||||
- Use snake_case: `parse_feature`, `execute_stage`
|
||||
- Descriptive verbs: `extract`, `validate`, `generate`
|
||||
- Domain-specific terminology: `quality_check`, `error_analysis`
|
||||
|
||||
### Type Names
|
||||
- Use PascalCase: `FeatureSpec`, `StageResult`, `PhaseReport`
|
||||
- Singular nouns: `Plan`, `Result`, `Report`
|
||||
- Composite types: `(Plan, StageNumber)`, `[StageResult]`
|
||||
|
||||
### Variable Names
|
||||
- Use snake_case: `feature_spec`, `stage_num`, `recent_errors`
|
||||
- Abbreviations acceptable: `req`, `exec`, `ctx`
|
||||
- Descriptive in context: `plan`, `result`, `report`
|
||||
|
||||
### Spacing
|
||||
- Spaces around operators: `x ∧ y`, `a ≤ b`
|
||||
- No spaces in function calls: `function(arg1, arg2)`
|
||||
- Indent nested blocks consistently
|
||||
|
||||
### Line Length
|
||||
- Target: ≤80 characters
|
||||
- Break long expressions at logical operators
|
||||
- Align continuations with opening delimiter
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Common Idioms
|
||||
|
||||
### Sequential Steps
|
||||
```
|
||||
step1 → step2 → step3 → result
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Conditional Execution
|
||||
```
|
||||
if condition then action else alternative
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Iteration with Predicate
|
||||
```
|
||||
∀element ∈ collection: predicate(element)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Filtering
|
||||
```
|
||||
filtered = [x | x ∈ collection, predicate(x)]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Aggregation
|
||||
```
|
||||
total = sum([metric(x) | x ∈ collection])
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Validation
|
||||
```
|
||||
valid(x) = constraint1(x) ∧ constraint2(x) ∧ constraint3(x)
|
||||
```
