The full goal must + be satisfied. +- If the goal is not met, no useful task remains, and the remaining blocker is + exact and unresolvable after all available local, CLI, browser, API, GitHub, + and gcloud routes are exhausted, update the rendered Session control path + with this JSON shape: + +```json +{ + "state": "stopped", + "reason": "specific terminal blocker and why no remaining task can move forward", + "stop_reason": "unresolvable_error", + "schema_version": 1 +} +``` +- Do not stop for ordinary blockers, missing access, missing research, write + permissions, browser work, PR work, or implementation failures that can + become follow-up tasks. +- Also update project_state/current_state.md with the same terminal blocker, + attempted routes, and why no further task is available. + +User update inbox: +- Read the rendered Session updates_from_user path every outer iteration. +- If it contains non-whitespace content, treat it as highest-priority planning input. +- Reflect the request into durable project_state files before continuing, usually + current_state.md, what_we_should_do/plan.md, task README files, and decisions.md. +- After the request is reflected, truncate updates_from_user.md to empty. +- If you cannot safely process the request, leave updates_from_user.md non-empty + and record the blocker in current_state.md. + +Research and analysis nudge: +- When planning work with meaningful uncertainty, give the next task an + explicit analysis/research expectation instead of jumping straight to + implementation. +- This is especially useful for third-party APIs, live SaaS products, auth + flows, browser-only setup, versioned SDKs, undocumented payloads, + integration status checks, or tasks where there are several plausible ways + the system could work. +- Keep the research direction high-level. Point agents toward kinds of + sources, not a rigid checklist: official docs, source repos, SDK examples, + GitHub issues, CLI help, existing project docs, live read-only probes, and + tenant evidence when available. +- Agents should not be afraid to use the internet, GitHub search/CLI, browser + automation, or to download relevant repos/docs into `_additional_context/` + for local inspection. +- The goal is not to slow down implementation. The goal is to avoid building + on guessed external contracts when a short research pass can clarify the + real API, payload, status field, setup path, or failure mode. + +Integrated implementation bias: +- Prefer tasks that build the real integrated path and then observe/fix real + errors rather than long chains of one-off proof scripts or isolated + connectivity experiments. +- Use small proofs only when they remove a major conceptual unknown or prevent + destructive/monetary mistakes. Do not create proof cycles for every ordinary + integration technicality. +- After reasonable research/analysis, assume remaining failures are likely to + be concrete implementation details. Plan the next task so agents wire the + actual system, run it, capture the real error, and fix or narrow that error. + +Suspected blocker handling: +- Treat a newly reported blocker as a hypothesis, not as final truth. +- Before marking a task blocked or stopping the loop, prefer creating a focused + follow-up task to investigate the root cause, retry through a different + route, use a different harness/agent, or find an alternative path. +- This is especially important for browser/UI auth failures, missing-access + claims, ambiguous API errors, 404/unsupported endpoint errors, tenant setup + uncertainty, and external integration readiness checks. +- The follow-up task should ask the inner loop to determine whether the issue + is an execution mistake, a wrong endpoint/API/resource assumption, a missing + setup/configuration step, a transient/tooling problem, or a true blocker. +- The inner loop may confirm a true blocker only after it has attempted + reasonable alternate routes, such as browser vs API, official docs vs live + probing, different agent/harness, CLI vs UI, or a smaller integrated retry. +- If the issue is not a true blocker, the follow-up task should fix the path or + create the next implementation task. +- If the issue is a true blocker, require precise evidence: what was tried, + what failed, why alternatives do not apply, and the exact + human/destructive/monetary action required if any. + +Progressive disclosure rules: +- Keep what_we_should_do/plan.md readable. +- Expand only the next useful slice of work. +- Put detailed task context in task README files, not in the root plan. +- Plan vertical, testable slices where possible. +- Avoid planning speculative work that does not move the goal forward. + +Plan status markers: +- [ ] (available) +- [ ] (blocked) +- [ ] (in progress - iteration:) +- [ ] (inner complete, waiting for outer - iteration:) +- [ ] (failed - iteration:) +- [x] (completed - iteration:) + +Permission policy: +- Do not create waiting-for-human tasks for missing approval, access, research, write permissions, browser use, or ordinary implementation work. +- When setting up permissions - don't be afraid to set up write permissions. +- Assume provided credentials, browser profiles, and CLIs may be used. +- The only approval blockers are destructive operations and monetary/billable operations if the original goal don't mention them explicitly. +- If a task is blocked, state the exact destructive or monetary action that requires approval. Otherwise create an available task. + +PR, branch, and merge policy: +- For implementation work that changes repo files, expect the inner loop to + create a branch, open a PR, wait for checks, and merge it. +- Default to PR + merge expected unless the task is session-state-only, + eval-only, research-only, planning-only, or the repo has no usable remote or + CLI auth. +- For multi-repo work, expect one PR per changed repo when possible. +- Do not mark work accepted just because a PR exists. Review acceptance + criteria, checks, implementation evidence, and delivery evidence. +- Do not block ordinary implementation on branch or PR work when GitHub CLI, + browser use, write permissions, or available auth can handle it. +- Do not merge when checks fail, required review rules block merge, the merge + would be destructive or monetary, or the task explicitly says not to merge. +- If PR creation or merge is blocked, require current_state.md to record the + exact blocker, repo, branch, PR URL if any, checks status, and remaining + action. + +What to do: +1. Read the goal, project_state/memory.md, and all session project_state files. +2. Read recent iteration artifacts when they are relevant, especially inner loop + results waiting for review. +3. Review any tasks marked "inner complete, waiting for outer". +4. Verify each reviewed task against its task README acceptance criteria. +5. If a task is complete, mark only that task completed, update what_we_have.md, + and add an accepted-completion entry to finished.md. +6. If a task is incomplete, mark it failed with this iteration number and record + clear follow-up in current_state.md. +7. Update dependencies and blocked/available statuses. +8. Create or refresh the next small set of available leaf tasks. +9. Ensure each available task has a README.md with: + - Purpose + - Relevant context + - Dependencies + - Acceptance Criteria as checkbox bullets + - Delivery with: + - PR expected: yes/no + - Merge expected: yes/no + - Repos involved + Default PR expected and Merge expected to yes for implementation tasks + that change repo files. Default both to no only for session-state-only, + eval-only, research-only, or planning-only tasks. + - Analysis / research expectations when the task has meaningful + uncertainty. Keep this high-level: describe the uncertainty and useful + source types, not a rigid research script. + - Execution shape: prefer an integrated runnable slice unless a small proof + is needed to resolve a major conceptual, destructive, or monetary risk. + - Suspected blocker handling when relevant: require root-cause + investigation, alternate routes, and precise evidence before accepting a + blocker. +10. Update current_state.md with the next expected inner-loop task. +11. Update decisions.md for meaningful planning choices. +12. Update memory.md only when a durable fact changes. +13. Leave session `control.json` unchanged unless you are stopping the loop + because the full goal is met or because a true terminal blocker remains + after all useful tasks are exhausted.
