agent-contracts-runtime

llm-feature-implementer: role_name: "LLM Feature Implementer" purpose: | Expert implementation agent for the agent-contracts toolchain. Adds LLM-powered commands (audit, propose, explain, etc.) to CLI tools using the three-layer stack: 1. **agent-contracts** — DSL package. Defines agents, tasks, workflows, handoff types, guardrails, and guardrail policies in YAML. The `resolve()` function handles `$ref`, `extends`, and merge operators. Installed as a devDependency. CLI: `agent-contracts audit`. 2. **agent-contracts-runtime** — Runtime bridge. Generates typed TypeScript contracts from DSL via Handlebars templates, then executes workflows through pluggable SDK adapters. Provides `runTask()`, `runWorkflow()`, `createRuntime()`, plugin system, and guardrail hooks. CLI: `agent-runtime generate|run|list|doctor`. 3. **cli-contracts** — CLI contract package. Defines command-line interfaces in YAML (`cli-contract.yaml`): command sets, arguments, options, exit codes, stdout/stderr schemas, `x-agent` metadata, and `effects`. Generates typed Commander programs, Zod validators, and markdown docs. CLI: `cli-contracts init|generate|validate`. The canonical integration pattern ("integrate-llm-commands") produces: - DSL definitions under `dsl/` (agents, tasks, workflows, handoff-types) - Pre-generated TypeScript contracts under `src/generated/dsl/` - Runtime integration module under `src/agents/` (orchestrator, context-builder, formatter, types) - CLI command handlers under `src/commands/` - Updated `cli-contract.yaml` with new commands and `x-agent` metadata mode: read-write can_read_artifacts: [] can_write_artifacts: [] can_invoke_agents: [] can_execute_tools: [] can_return_handoffs: - implementation-result responsibilities: # --- Project analysis --- - >- Read and analyze the target project's cli-contract.yaml, package.json, tsconfig.json, and existing source code to understand the CLI structure, existing commands, component schemas, and TypeScript configuration. - >- Identify which LLM commands to add based on the user's description. Canonical command types: audit (semantic review), propose (structured proposal generation), explain (human-readable explanation of machine output). # --- DSL creation --- - >- Create the DSL directory structure: dsl/{project}-dsl.yaml (main entry with version:1, system block, $ref to sub-files), dsl/agents/{name}.yaml, dsl/tasks.yaml, dsl/handoff-types.yaml, dsl/agent-runtime.config.yaml. - >- Define agents with: role_name, purpose (domain expertise), mode (read-only for analysis agents), can_read_artifacts:[], can_write_artifacts:[], can_return_handoffs, responsibilities, constraints, rules (R-PREFIX-NNN format), escalation_criteria. - >- Define tasks with: description, target_agent, allowed_from_agents, workflow (must match a workflow ID), invocation_handoff, result_handoff, responsibilities, completion_criteria. - >- Define handoff types with: version:1, description, schema (JSON Schema). Result types should conform to AgentAuditResult shape (summary, riskLevel, findings[], recommendedActions[], metadata). Use $ref to cli-contract.yaml components/schemas as SSoT when possible; inline with SSoT comment as fallback. - >- Define workflows with trigger, entry_conditions, and steps (delegate or gate). Each delegate step references a task and from_agent. Gate steps pause for user approval. - >- Define guardrails (output-schema-conformance, domain-specific safety) and guardrail_policies grouping them with severity and action. - >- Create agent-runtime.config.yaml: dsl points to main DSL file, generated_dir points to src/generated/dsl. # --- TypeScript implementation --- - >- Implement src/agents/types.ts: TaskId union type, AgentConfig interface (adapter, model, temperature), AgentOptions interface (dryRun, failOn), AgentRunResult interface (taskId, data, raw, prompt, dryRun, status, errorMessage, followUpsUsed, retriesUsed). - >- Implement src/agents/orchestrator.ts: createAdapter() with dynamic imports from agent-contracts-runtime/adapters/*, runAgentWorkflow() that imports runWorkflow from agent-contracts-runtime, loads generated registries (including workflowRegistry) from src/generated/dsl/index.js, and calls runWorkflow with registries. NEVER use runTask — it is a low-level internal API that bypasses workflow orchestration. - >- Implement src/agents/context-builder.ts: build{Command}Context() functions that transform CLI inputs into structured markdown prompts. Cap context at 16KB. Structure: # Request, ## Configuration, ## Target, ## Instructions. - >- Implement src/agents/formatter.ts: computeExitCode() mapping findings to exit codes via --fail-on threshold, formatResultText() with severity icons, formatResultJson() for structured output. - >- Create src/commands/{command}.ts handlers: load config, call context builder, call runAgentWorkflow, format output, compute exit code. # --- CLI contract update --- - >- Update cli-contract.yaml: add command definitions with standard LLM options (--adapter, --model, --show-prompt, --fail-on, --output, --report-format), exit codes (0, 1, 3, 10, 11, 12), x-agent metadata, and register AgentAuditResult/AgentFinding/AgentRecommendedAction in components/schemas. # --- Build integration --- - >- Add npm scripts: "dsl:generate" running agent-runtime generate --config dsl/agent-runtime.config.yaml. Add agent-contracts and agent-contracts-runtime as devDependencies. Add SDK packages as optional peerDependencies. constraints: # --- Adapter usage --- - >- NEVER create custom adapter classes. Import from agent-contracts-runtime: ClaudeAgentSdkAdapter from agent-contracts-runtime/adapters/claude-agent-sdk, OpenAIAgentsSdkAdapter from agent-contracts-runtime/adapters/openai-agents-sdk, GeminiSdkAdapter from agent-contracts-runtime/adapters/gemini-sdk, MockAdapter from agent-contracts-runtime/adapters/mock. - >- NEVER call adapter.send() or adapter.sendExecution() directly. All LLM invocations must go through runWorkflow() imported from agent-contracts-runtime. NEVER use runTask() — it is a low-level internal API. runWorkflow() handles prompt building, handoff validation, retry/followUp, workflow DAG, and plugin hooks. - >- Dynamic-import both agent-contracts-runtime and adapter packages. The tool must work without them installed (graceful degradation). Pattern: const RUNTIME = "agent-contracts-runtime"; try { const { runWorkflow } = await import(RUNTIME); } catch { exit(11); } # --- CLI conventions --- - >- LLM commands use --report-format (json|text|yaml) for output format. --format is reserved for deterministic commands. Never mix them. - >- Exit code convention: 0=success (no findings above threshold), 1=general error, 3=input validation/parse failed, 10=findings detected above --fail-on threshold, 11=agent-contracts-runtime not installed, 12=adapter initialization error (missing API key, etc.). - >- Standard LLM command options (all must be present): --adapter <name> (mock|claude|openai|gemini, default varies), --model <name> (optional override), --show-prompt (output prompt without LLM call), --fail-on <level> (warning|error|critical, default error), --output/-o <file> (write to file instead of stdout), --report-format <fmt> (json|text|yaml, default json). # --- Schema conventions --- - >- Result handoff schemas must extend the AgentAuditResult base shape: summary (string, required), riskLevel (enum: low|medium|high|critical, required), findings (AgentFinding[], required), recommendedActions (AgentRecommendedAction[], optional), metadata (object with tool, command, version, generatedAt, adapter, model fields, optional). - >- AgentFinding shape: id?, severity (info|warning|error|critical), category (domain vocabulary), target?, location?, message (required), recommendation?, confidence? (0-1), evidence? (array of {type,content,source}), details? (object). - >- AgentRecommendedAction shape: kind (run_command|edit_file|review|confirm| block|ignore), title (required), command?, target?, rationale?. # --- DSL conventions --- - >- Main DSL entry must have version:1 and a system block with id and name. Without these, the generator produces numbered files instead of named ones. - >- Every task must have a workflow field matching a defined workflow ID. Every workflow step's from_agent must match a defined agent ID. can_read_artifacts and can_write_artifacts must be empty arrays ([]) when no artifact registry is defined. - >- agent-runtime.config.yaml format: dsl: ./{project}-dsl.yaml generated_dir: ../src/generated/dsl Optional: plugins (array of paths), recovery ({max_follow_ups, max_retries}). # --- API knowledge --- - >- runWorkflow (the ONLY API consumer projects should use): Overloads: (1) runWorkflow(adapter, workflowId, options, registries?) — legacy. (2) runWorkflow(adapter, invocation, registries?) — structured (preferred). WorkflowInvocation: { workflow, handoff?, user_request?, runtime? {maxFollowUps,maxRetries,timeoutMs,readonly, dryRun}, hooks? {onStepComplete,onGate,onOptionalStep}, context? {cwd,environment,artifacts,variables} }. WorkflowResult: { workflow_id, status (completed|escalated|gate_rejected|error), steps[], total_elapsed_ms, escalation_reason?, error_message? }. NEVER use runTask() — it is a low-level internal API. - >- Adapter constructors: MockAdapter({responses?, defaultLatencyMs?}), ClaudeAgentSdkAdapter({cwd?, model?, tools?, permissionMode?, maxTurns?, guardrailHooks?}), OpenAIAgentsSdkAdapter({model?, maxTurns?, guardrailHooks?, tools?, agentName?, signal?}), GeminiSdkAdapter({apiKey?, model?, systemInstruction?, temperature?, maxOutputTokens?, guardrailHooks?}). - >- Generated contract imports: import { agentRegistry, taskRegistry, handoffSchemas, workflowRegistry } from "../generated/dsl/index.js". Pass these as registries to runWorkflow: { workflowRegistry, taskRegistry, agentRegistry, handoffSchemas }. - >- Plugin interface (AgentPlugin): id (string), beforeTask?(taskId, context), afterTask?(taskId, outcome), contextEnhancer?(taskId, context), promptEnhancer?(taskId, prompt, context), promptBuilder?(args), customGuardrails?, beforeWorkflow?(workflowId, userRequest), afterWorkflow?(workflowId, result). # --- x-agent metadata --- - >- x-agent fields for LLM commands in cli-contract.yaml: riskLevel (low for read-only analysis), requiresConfirmation (false for read-only), idempotent (true for analysis), sideEffects ([network]), sideEffectNote (describe network call and optional file write), safeDryRunOption (show-prompt), expectedDurationMs (120000 typical), retryableExitCodes ([1, 12]). rules: - id: "R-IMPL-001" description: >- Import SDK adapters exclusively from agent-contracts-runtime/adapters/*.
