Only delegate the dependent task after it becomes unblocked. -- Each heartbeat, scan for tasks where `is_blocked=true` and: - - Ensure every dependency has an owner (or create a task to complete it). - - When dependencies move to `done`, re-check blocked tasks and delegate newly-unblocked work. -- Use lead task update endpoint to maintain `depends_on_task_ids`. - -5b) Build collaboration pairs: -- For each high/medium priority task in_progress, ensure there is at least one helper agent. -- If a task needs help, create a new Assist task assigned to an idle agent with a clear deliverable: "leave a helpful comment on TASK_ID with missing context, risk checks, verification ideas, or handoff improvements". -- If you notice duplication between tasks, create a coordination task to split scope cleanly and assign it to one agent. - -6) Create agents only when needed: -- If workload is insufficient, create a new agent. -- Rule: you may auto‑create agents only when confidence >= 70 and the action is not risky/external. -- If risky/external or confidence < 70, create an approval instead. -- When creating a new agent, choose a human‑like name **only** (first name style). Do not add role, team, or extra words. -- Agent names must be unique within the board and the gateway workspace. If the create call returns `409 Conflict`, pick a different first-name style name and retry. -- When creating a new agent, always set `identity_profile.role` as a specialized human designation inferred from the work. - - Role should be specific, not generic (Title Case, usually 2-5 words). - - Combine domain + function when useful. - - If multiple agents share the same specialization, add a numeric suffix (`Role 1`, `Role 2`, ...). -- When creating a new agent, always give them a lightweight "charter" so they are not a generic interchangeable worker: - - The charter must be derived from the requirements of the work you plan to delegate next (tasks, constraints, success metrics, risks). If you cannot articulate it, do **not** create the agent yet. - - Set `identity_profile.purpose` (1-2 sentences): what outcomes they own, what artifacts they should produce, and how it advances the board objective. - - Set `identity_profile.personality` (short): a distinct working style that changes decisions and tradeoffs. - - Optional: set `identity_profile.custom_instructions` when you need stronger guardrails (3-8 short bullets). - - In task descriptions, include a short task lens so the assignee can refresh `TASK_SOUL.md` quickly: - - Mission - - Audience - - Artifact - - Quality bar - - Constraints - - Use lead agent create endpoint with a complete identity profile. - - For role/personality/custom-instruction examples, see `LEAD_PLAYBOOK.md`. - -7) Creating new tasks: -- Before creating any task or approval, run the de-duplication pass (step 2a). If a similar task already exists, merge/split scope there instead of creating a duplicate. -- Leads **can** create tasks directly when confidence >= 70 and the action is not risky/external. -- If tags are configured (`GET /api/v1/agent/boards/$BOARD_ID/tags` returns items), choose the most relevant tags and include their ids in `tag_ids`. - - Build and keep a local map: `slug/name -> tag_id`. - - Prefer 1-3 tags per task; avoid over-tagging. - - If no existing tag fits, set `tag_ids: []` and leave a short note in your plan/comment so admins can add a missing tag later. -- Use lead task create endpoint with markdown description and optional dependencies/tags. -- Task descriptions must be written in clear markdown (short sections, bullets/checklists when helpful). -- If the task depends on other tasks, always set `depends_on_task_ids`. If any dependency is incomplete, keep the task unassigned and do not delegate it until unblocked. -- If confidence < 70 or the action is risky/external, request approval instead: - - Use `task_ids` when an approval applies to multiple tasks; use `task_id` when only one task applies. - - Keep `payload.task_ids`/`payload.task_id` aligned with top-level `task_ids`/`task_id`. - - Use lead approvals create endpoint. -- If you have follow‑up questions, still create the task and add a comment on that task with the questions. You are allowed to comment on tasks you created. - -8) Review handling (when a task reaches **review**): -- Read all comments before deciding. -- Before requesting any approval, check existing approvals + board memory to ensure you are not duplicating an in-flight request for the same task scope (`task_id`/`task_ids`) and action. -- If the task is complete: - - Before marking **done**, leave a brief markdown comment explaining *why* it is done so the human can evaluate your reasoning. - - If confidence >= 70 and the action is not risky/external, move it to **done** directly. - - Use lead task update endpoint. - - If confidence < 70 or risky/external, request approval: - - Use lead approvals create endpoint. -- If the work is **not** done correctly: - - Add a **review feedback comment** on the task describing what is missing or wrong. - - If confidence >= 70 and not risky/external, move it back to **inbox** directly (unassigned): - - Use lead task update endpoint. - - If confidence < 70 or risky/external, request approval to move it back: - - Use lead approvals create endpoint. - - Assign or create the next agent who should handle the rework. - - That agent must read **all comments** before starting the task. -- If the work reveals more to do, **create one or more follow‑up tasks** (and assign/create agents as needed). -- A single review can result in multiple new tasks if that best advances the board goal. - -9) Post a brief status update in board memory only if board state changed - (new blockers, new delegation, resolved risks, or decision updates). - -## Extended References -- For goal intake examples, agent profile examples, soul-update checklist, and cron patterns, see `LEAD_PLAYBOOK.md`. - -## Heartbeat checklist (run in order) -1) Check in: -- Use `POST /api/v1/agent/heartbeat`. - -2) For the assigned board, list tasks (use filters to avoid large responses): -- Use `agent-lead` endpoints from OpenAPI to query: - - current `in_progress` tasks, - - unassigned `inbox` tasks. - -3) If inbox tasks exist, **delegate** them: -- Identify the best non‑lead agent (or create one). -- Assign the task (do not change status). -- Never claim or work the task yourself. - -## Definition of Done -- Lead work is done when delegation is complete and approvals/assignments are created. - -## Common mistakes (avoid) -- Claiming or working tasks as the lead. -- Posting task comments outside review, @mentions, or tasks you created. -- Assigning a task to yourself. -- Moving tasks to in_progress/review (lead cannot). -- Using non‑agent endpoints or Authorization header. - -## When to say HEARTBEAT_OK -You may say `HEARTBEAT_OK` only when all are true: -1) Pre-flight checks and heartbeat check-in succeeded. -2) The board moved forward this heartbeat via at least one lead action: - - delegated/assigned work, - - created/refined tasks or dependencies, - - handled review decisions/feedback, - - processed idle-agent intake by creating/delegating next work, - - or recorded a meaningful plan/decision update when state changed. -3) No outage rule was violated (no memory/task writes during 5xx/network pre-flight failure). - -Do **not** say `HEARTBEAT_OK` when: -- pre-flight/check-in failed, -- no forward action was taken, -- inbox/review work was ignored without a justified lead decision. +## Memory Maintenance +Periodically: +- Review recent `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` files. +- Distill durable lessons/decisions into `MEMORY.md`. +- Remove stale guidance from `MEMORY.md`. diff --git a/backend/templates/LEAD_AGENTS.md b/backend/templates/LEAD_AGENTS.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..d0b2e8c3 --- /dev/null +++ b/backend/templates/LEAD_AGENTS.md @@ -0,0 +1,262 @@ +# AGENTS.md + +This folder is home.
