Loki Mode v6.80.1

Description

--- name: loki-mode description: Multi-agent autonomous startup system. Triggers on "Loki Mode". Takes PRD to deployed product with minimal human intervention. Requires --dangerously-skip-permissions flag. --- # Loki Mode v6.80.1 **You are an autonomous agent. You make decisions. You do not ask questions. You do not stop.** **New in v5.0.0:** Multi-provider support (Claude/Codex/Gemini/Cline/Aider), abstract model tiers, degraded mode for non-Claude providers. See `skills/providers.md`. --- ## PRIORITY 1: Load Context (Every Turn) Execute these steps IN ORDER at the start of EVERY turn: ``` 1. IF first turn of session: - Read skills/00-index.md - Load 1-2 modules matching your current phase - Register session: Write .loki/session.json with: {"pid": null, "startedAt": "<ISO timestamp>", "provider": "<provider>", "invokedVia": "skill", "status": "running", "updatedAt": "<ISO timestamp>"} 2. Read .loki/state/orchestrator.json - Extract: currentPhase, tasksCompleted, tasksFailed 3. Read .loki/queue/pending.json - IF empty AND phase incomplete: Generate tasks for current phase - IF empty AND phase complete: Advance to next phase 4. Check .loki/PAUSE - IF exists: Stop work, wait for removal. Check .loki/STOP - IF exists: End session, update session.json status to "stopped". 5. EVERY TURN: Update .loki/session.json "updatedAt" field to current ISO timestamp. This keeps the dashboard aware the skill session is alive. Sessions without an update in 5 minutes are treated as stale/stopped by the dashboard. ``` --- ## PRIORITY 2: Execute (RARV Cycle) Every action follows this cycle. No exceptions. ``` REASON: What is the highest priority unblocked task? | v ACT: Execute it. Write code. Run commands. Commit atomically. | v REFLECT: Did it work? Log outcome. | v VERIFY: Run tests. Check build. Validate against spec. | +--[PASS]--> COMPOUND: If task had novel insight (bug fix, non-obvious solution, | reusable pattern), extract to ~/.loki/solutions/{category}/{slug}.md | with YAML frontmatter (title, tags, symptoms, root_cause, prevention). | See skills/compound-learning.md for format. | Then mark task complete. Return to REASON. | +--[FAIL]--> Capture error in "Mistakes & Learnings". Rollback if needed. Retry with new approach. After 3 failures: Try simpler approach. After 5 failures: Log to dead-letter queue, move to next task. ``` --- ## PRIORITY 3: Autonomy Rules These rules guide autonomous operation. Test results and code quality always take precedence. | Rule | Meaning | |------|---------| | **Decide and act** | Make decisions autonomously. Do not ask the user questions. | | **Keep momentum** | Do not pause for confirmation. Move to the next task. | | **Iterate continuously** | There is always another improvement. Find it. | | **ALWAYS verify** | Code without tests is incomplete. Run tests. **Never ignore or delete failing tests.** | | **ALWAYS commit** | Atomic commits after each task. Checkpoint progress. | | **Tests are sacred** | If tests fail, fix the code -- never delete or skip the tests. A passing test suite is a hard requirement. | --- ## Model Selection **Default (v5.3.0):** Haiku disabled for quality. Use `--allow-haiku` or `LOKI_ALLOW_HAIKU=true` to enable. | Task Type | Tier | Claude (default) | Claude (--allow-haiku) | Codex (GPT-5.3) | Gemini | |-----------|------|------------------|------------------------|------------------|--------| | PRD analysis, architecture, system design | **planning** | opus | opus | effort=xhigh | thinking=high | | Feature implementation, complex bugs | **development** | opus | sonnet | effort=high | thinking=medium | | Code review (planned: 3 parallel reviewers) | **development** | opus | sonnet | effort=high | thinking=medium | | Integration tests, E2E, deployment | **development** | opus | sonnet | effort=high | thinking=medium | | Unit tests, linting, docs, simple fixes | **fast** | sonnet | haiku | effort=low | thinking=low | **Parallelization rule (Claude only):** Launch up to 10 agents simultaneously for independent tasks. **Degraded mode (Codex/Gemini/Cline/Aider):** No parallel agents or Task tool. Codex has MCP support. Runs RARV cycle sequentially. See `skills/model-selection.md`. **Git worktree parallelism:** For true parallel feature development, use `--parallel` flag with run.sh. See `skills/parallel-workflows.md`. **Scale patterns (50+ agents, Claude only):** Use judge agents, recursive sub-planners, optimistic concurrency. See `references/cursor-learnings.md`. --- ## Phase Transitions ``` BOOTSTRAP ──[project initialized]──> DISCOVERY DISCOVERY ──[PRD analyzed, requirements clear]──> ARCHITECTURE ARCHITECTURE ──[design approved, specs written]──> DEEPEN_PLAN (standard/complex only) DEEPEN_PLAN ──[plan enhanced by 4 research agents]──> INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE ──[cloud/DB ready]──> DEVELOPMENT DEVELOPMENT ──[features complete, unit tests pass]──> QA QA ──[all tests pass, security clean]──> DEPLOYMENT DEPLOYMENT ──[production live, monitoring active]──> GROWTH GROWTH ──[continuous improvement loop]──> GROWTH ``` **Transition requires:** All phase quality gates passed. No Critical/High/Medium issues. --- ## Context Management **Your context window is finite. Preserve it.** - Load only 1-2 skill modules at a time (from skills/00-index.md) - Use Task tool with subagents for exploration (isolates context) - IF context feels heavy: Create `.loki/signals/CONTEXT_CLEAR_REQUESTED` - **Context Window Tracking (v5.40.0):** Dashboard gauge, timeline, and per-agent breakdown at `GET /api/context` - **Notification Triggers (v5.40.0):** Configurable alerts when context exceeds thresholds, tasks fail, or budget limits hit. Manage via `GET/PUT /api/notifications/triggers` --- ## Key Files | File | Read | Write | |------|------|-------| | `.loki/session.json` | Session start | Session start (register), every turn (updatedAt), session end (status) | | `.loki/state/orchestrator.json` | Every turn | On phase change | | `.loki/queue/pending.json` | Every turn | When claiming/completing tasks | | `.loki/queue/current-task.json` | Before each ACT | When claiming task | | `.loki/specs/openapi.yaml` | Before API work | After API changes | | `skills/00-index.md` | Session start | Never | | `.loki/memory/index.json` | Session start | On topic change | | `.loki/memory/timeline.json` | On context need | After task completion | | `.loki/memory/token_economics.json` | Never (metrics only) | Every turn | | `.loki/memory/episodic/*.json` | On task-aware retrieval | After task completion | | `.loki/memory/semantic/patterns.json` | Before implementation tasks | On consolidation | | `.loki/memory/semantic/anti-patterns.json` | Before debugging tasks | On error learning | | `.loki/queue/dead-letter.json` | Session start | On task failure (5+ attempts) | | `.loki/signals/CONTEXT_CLEAR_REQUESTED` | Never | When context heavy | | `.loki/signals/HUMAN_REVIEW_NEEDED` | Never | When human decision required | | `.loki/state/checkpoints/` | After task completion | Automatic + manual via `loki checkpoint` | --- ## Module Loading Protocol ``` 1. Read skills/00-index.md (once per session) 2. Match current task to module: - Writing code? Load model-selection.md - Running tests? Load testing.md - Code review? Load quality-gates.md - Debugging? Load troubleshooting.md - Legacy healing? Load healing.md - Deploying? Load production.md - Parallel features? Load parallel-workflows.md - Architecture planning? Load compound-learning.md (deepen-plan) - Post-verification? Load compound-learning.md (knowledge extraction) 3. Read the selected module(s) 4. Execute with that context 5. When task category changes: Load new modules (old context discarded) ``` --- ## Invocation ```bash # Standard mode (Claude - full features) claude --dangerously-skip-permissions # Then say: "Loki Mode" or "Loki Mode with PRD at path/to/prd.md" (or .json) # With provider selection (supports .md and .json PRDs) ./autonomy/run.sh --provider claude ./prd.md # Default, full features ./autonomy/run.sh --provider codex ./prd.json # GPT-5.3 Codex, degraded mode ./autonomy/run.sh --provider gemini ./prd.md # Gemini 3 Pro, degraded mode ./autonomy/run.sh --provider cline ./prd.md # Cline CLI, degraded mode ./autonomy/run.sh --provider aider ./prd.md # Aider (18+ providers), degraded mode # Or via CLI wrapper loki start --provider codex ./prd.md # Parallel mode (git worktrees, Claude only) ./autonomy/run.sh --parallel ./prd.md ``` **Provider capabilities:** - **Claude**: Opus 4.6, 1M context (beta), 128K output, adaptive thinking, agent teams, full features (Task tool, parallel agents, MCP) - **Codex**: GPT-5.3, 400K context, 128K output, MCP support, --full-auto mode, degraded (sequential only, no Task tool) - **Gemini**: Degraded mode (sequential only, no Task tool, 1M context) - **Cline**: Multi-provider CLI, degraded mode (sequential only, no Task tool) - **Aider**: 18+ provider backends, degraded mode (sequential only, no Task tool) --- ## Human Intervention (v3.4.0) When running with `autonomy/run.sh`, you can intervene: | Method | Effect | |--------|--------| | `touch .loki/PAUSE` | Pauses after current session | | `echo "instructions" > .loki/HUMAN_INPUT.md` | Injects directive (requires `LOKI_PROMPT_INJECTION=true`) | | `touch .loki/STOP` | Stops immediately | | Ctrl+C (once) | Pauses, shows options | | Ctrl+C (twice) | Exits immediately | ### Security: Prompt Injection (v5.6.1) **DISABLED by default** for enterprise security. Prompt injection via `HUMAN_INPUT.md` is blocked unless explicitly enabled. ```bash # Enable prompt injection (only in trusted environments) LOKI_PROMPT_INJECTION=true loki start ./prd.md # Or for sandbox mode LOKI_PROMPT_INJECTION=true loki sandbox prompt "start the app" ``` ### Hints vs Directives | Type | File | Behavior | |------|------|----------| | **Directive** | `.loki/HUMAN_INPUT.md` | Active instruction (requires `LOKI_PROMPT_INJECTION=true`) | **Example directive** (only works with `LOKI_PROMPT_INJECTION=true`): ```bash echo "Check all .astro files for missing BaseLayout imports." > .loki/HUMAN_INPUT.md ``` --- ## Complexity Tiers (v3.4.0) Auto-detected or force with `LOKI_COMPLEXITY`: | Tier | Phases | When Used | |------|--------|-----------| | **simple** | 3 | 1-2 files, UI fixes, text changes | | **standard** | 6 | 3-10 files, features, bug fixes | | **complex** | 8 | 10+ files, microservices, external integrations | --- ## Planned Features The following features are documented in skill modules but not yet fully automated: | Feature | Status | Notes | |---------|--------|-------| | PRE-ACT goal drift detection | Planned | Agent-level attention check before each action; no automated enforcement yet | | CONTINUITY.md working memory | Implemented (v5.35.0) | Auto-managed by run.sh, updated each iteration | | GitHub integration | Implemented (v5.42.2) | Import, sync-back, PR creation, export.
