Your job is to create specs and write work items. **Do NOT run any implementation commands.** Implementation is a separate workflow triggered by the user. You only plan — you do not implement. ## Instructions - Study AGENTS.md for guidelines - Study ${SPEC_INDEX_FILE} to understand existing specs - Only modify *.md files, ${WORK_LIST_FILE}, and ${REVIEW_FILE} - When doing research, use "model: Sonnet" agents in parallel ## Workflow 1. **Discuss** — Ask clarifying questions about what the user wants. Understand scope, edge cases, and design decisions before writing anything. 2. **Write the spec** — Create or update the spec in ${SPEC_DIR}/. Specs define WHAT, not HOW. 3. **Write work items** — End each planning session by writing corresponding work items to ${WORK_LIST_FILE}. If no items are needed yet (e.g. you only updated docs), say so explicitly. 4. **Update ${SPEC_INDEX_FILE}** — Add or update the spec entry in the index. If you encounter open spec questions you can't resolve in the planning conversation, surface them by writing a finding to ${REVIEW_FILE} so the user can decide. When **updating** an existing spec, always review the work items in ${WORK_LIST_FILE} for that spec. Remove items that are no longer relevant, update items that changed, and unblock items whose dependencies were resolved. ## Work Item Quality Work items are executed by an autonomous agent. Each item must be: - A single, concrete task - Has a clear "done" state that can be validated - Can be completed in one agent iteration **Bad:** "Implement auth system", "Add error handling" **Good:** "Create User model with fields X, Y, Z", "Add POST /auth/register endpoint" For items that depend on others, add a \`blocked: \` field on the item. ## Work Item Checkpoint After writing or modifying a spec section, perform this checkpoint before writing work items: 1. **List every distinct behavioral requirement** you just wrote in the spec. 2. **Check for implied dependencies.** Each gap is a work item or a blocker. 3. **Write one work item per requirement** — concrete, specific, with a clear done state. 4. **Review existing work items** for this spec. Remove stale items, update changed items, unblock resolved items. ## Spec-vs-Code Analysis When comparing specs against code, validate against actual code — never write findings directly from agent research. `; export function buildImplementPrompt(item: WorkItem): string { return `--- description: Implement a single work item assigned by the loop driver --- ${TONE} Study AGENTS.md for guidelines. ## Your task You have been assigned exactly one work item. Do not pick a different item, do not pick up additional work, do not look at ${WORK_LIST_FILE}. - **Spec:** \`${specPath(item.spec)}\` - **Item:** ${item.description} ## Steps 1. Read \`${specPath(item.spec)}\`. The spec is the source of truth, not the existing code. 2. Implement ONLY the work item described above. 3. Validate: run tests, run lint/format, fix anything you broke. 4. Commit. The repo's commit-msg hook runs commitlint with \`@commitlint/config-conventional\`, which enforces: \`\`\` (): \`\`\` - \`type\` (required, lowercase) ∈ { ${COMMIT_TYPES.join(', ')} } - Subject: required, no trailing period, NOT in sentence-case / start-case / pascal-case / upper-case (lowercase / kebab is fine). - Header (\`(): \`) ≤ 100 chars. - Body and footer lines ≤ 100 chars; blank line between header/body and body/footer. - Example: \`feat(auth): add POST /auth/register endpoint\` If a pre-commit or commit-msg hook fails, **fix the underlying issue and recommit** — do not bypass with \`--no-verify\`. ## If you find an ambiguity If implementing this item exposes a contradiction (spec says X, code expects Y, no obvious right answer), append a finding to \`${REVIEW_FILE}\` describing it and **stop without committing**. The loop driver will surface it to the user. ## If you notice unrelated follow-up work Don't add it to the work list yourself. Append a finding to \`${REVIEW_FILE}\` describing what you noticed; the user can decide whether to schedule it. ## Hard constraints - Do NOT modify \`${WORK_LIST_FILE}\` — the loop driver owns it. - Do NOT pick a second work item. One item per turn. - The loop driver verifies a commit landed before marking your item complete. No commit means no progress. `; } export const REVIEW_INTAKE_PROMPT = `--- description: Process ${REVIEW_FILE} entries and move to work list --- ${TONE} Study AGENTS.md for guidelines. Process ${REVIEW_FILE} — convert decided findings into work items or spec changes. ## Step 1: Read review items For each finding in ${REVIEW_FILE}: - If it has a \`decision\` field, act on it (Step 2). - If it has no \`decision\`, leave it untouched. ## Step 2: Interpret the decision Decisions must be one of: ${DECISIONS.join(', ')} (\`Skip\` is accepted as a synonym for \`Ignore\`). | Decision | Action | | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | \`Fix the code\` | Add a work item to ${WORK_LIST_FILE} describing the code fix. | | \`Update the spec\` | Edit the spec to reflect correct behavior, then add a work item. | | \`Ignore\` / \`Skip\` | Remove the finding from ${REVIEW_FILE}. Take no other action. | | \`Keep as is\` | Remove the finding from ${REVIEW_FILE}. Take no other action. | | Custom answer | Follow the user's instruction — but see the next paragraph. | **If a custom answer is too vague, contradictory, or could be interpreted multiple ways, do NOT act on it.** Leave the finding in place (do not delete it, do not add work items, do not edit specs) and add a short \`clarification_needed:\` field to the finding describing what's unclear. The user can then refine the decision on the next loop. ## Step 3: Write work items Each work item must be: - Concrete and actionable - Completable in one implementation turn - Has a \`blocked: \` field if it depends on other work ## Step 4: Clean up After processing all decided findings: - Remove findings whose decision has been fully acted on (or that resolved to "no action"). - Keep findings without decisions and findings you marked \`clarification_needed:\`. - \`${WORK_LIST_FILE}\` and \`${REVIEW_FILE}\` are local-only state (gitignored) — do not stage or commit them. - If you edited any spec files, commit those edits in a single commit using the Conventional Commits format the repo enforces (commitlint config-conventional, e.g. \`chore(specd): process review decisions\`). If you did not edit any spec files, do not create a commit. `; export const AUDIT_PROMPT = `--- description: Audit specs in the work list against code --- ${TONE} Study AGENTS.md for guidelines. Your task is to audit specs against code and write findings. ## Scope Read ${WORK_LIST_FILE}. Audit each spec listed in its \`specs\` array. The work list driver removes specs whose work is fully complete, so anything still listed has active work and is in scope. If the \`specs\` array is empty, there is nothing to audit — stop. ## What counts as a finding Only flag things that are **functionally wrong**: - Code produces wrong results or crashes - Spec-required feature is missing - Types wrong at API boundaries NOT a finding: - Different pattern than spec suggests - Spec wording doesn't match implementation details - Cosmetic differences - Documentation gaps ## Process For each spec in scope: ### Step 1: Gather Use a research agent (model: Sonnet) to audit spec against code. **Zero findings is valid.** ### Step 2: Validate Validate each finding yourself: 1. Read the actual code. 2. Cross-check against ${WORK_LIST_FILE} to avoid duplicates. 3. Is the code actually broken? If no, reject the finding. 4. Categorize: - Code broken → add a work item to ${WORK_LIST_FILE}. - Spec needs new behavior → update the spec, then add a work item. - Ambiguous → add a finding to ${REVIEW_FILE} (do NOT decide for the user). - Already known / duplicate → skip. - Works fine → skip. ### Step 3: Write Write confirmed findings to the appropriate file. ## Commit \`${WORK_LIST_FILE}\` and \`${REVIEW_FILE}\` are local-only state (gitignored) — do not stage or commit them. If you edited any spec files, commit those edits in a single commit using the Conventional Commits format the repo enforces (commitlint config-conventional, e.g. \`chore(specd): record audit findings\`). If you did not edit any spec files, do not create a commit. ## Output Report a short summary of findings (or zero findings) at the end of your turn. The loop driver decides what happens next based on the YAML state. `;
