prompt.rs

1//! Prompt construction.
2//!
3//! These strings are the actual product. The graph only moves bytes around; how
4//! well a run goes is decided by what the judges are asked to look at and what
5//! they are forbidden to speculate about.
6//!
7//! Two rules run through all of them:
8//!
9//! * **No authorship.** Nothing an agent receives names a model or a vendor,
10//!   and every prompt that could invite a guess explicitly forbids guessing.
11//! * **Checkable claims.** Judges and reviewers are told to verify assertions
12//!   against the repository, and to name a trigger for every defect. That is
13//!   what makes an unread patch defensible.

213# Asking the owner\n\n\
214If a decision is genuinely the owner's - a product choice, a tradeoff with no \
215technically correct answer, something that would be expensive to undo - stop \
216and ask instead of guessing:\n\n\
217```sh\n\
218magi ask --summary \"Which storage backend?\" --choice SQLite --choice Redis\n\
219```\n\n\
220It blocks and prints the owner's answer on stdout. Omit `--choice` for a \
221free-text reply.\n\n\
222**An answer is an instruction to you.** Every question presumes that once \
223the owner answers, you carry the answer out yourself: the process blocked \
224in `magi ask` continues with it. So never ask permission for something you \
225can and should just do - resuming a parked run, which the project \
226instructions already tell you to do, is done, not asked about. Only when a \
227part genuinely cannot be done by you, say in the question WHO will do it \
228(agent, operator or daemon) for each choice, and start each `--choice` label \
229with that actor, so the owner knows whether picking it leads to action or to \
230waiting on someone:\n\n\
231```sh\n\
232magi ask --summary \"Token expired: who rotates it?\" --choice \"agent: switch to the read-only mirror\" --choice \"operator: rotate the token, then I continue\"\n\
233```\n\n\
234Keep the actor word in English (`agent:`, `operator:`, `daemon:`) whatever \
235language the question is written in.\n\n\
236**Never put this in the background.** The process blocked inside `magi ask` \
237*is* the conversation with the owner - it is the only thing that will ever \
238read their answer. Backgrounding it, or letting your own process exit while \
239it is still running, does not free you to keep working and pick the answer \
240up later: it throws the answer away. The owner still sees the question, \
241still replies, and nothing is left listening. A single call cannot block \
242forever, so instead of hanging until something kills it, it stops on its own \
243after a while and prints that nothing has happened yet - not a failure, just \
244this call's own turn running out. When you see that, call it again, in the \
245foreground, exactly as told:\n\n\
246```sh\n\
247magi ask --wait <question-id>\n\
248```\n\n\
249Keep calling `--wait` in the foreground - one blocking call after another - \
250until an answer or a reply comes back. It resumes the same wait; it does not \
251ask anything new and takes no `--summary`. Backgrounding *this* call throws \
252the answer away exactly as backgrounding the first one would.\n\n\
253You can attach a page you format yourself, which is how the owner actually \
254judges: a diff, a table of what changes, a rendered before and after.\n\n\
255```sh\n\
256magi ask --summary \"...\" --choice A --choice B --panel panel.html --asset shot.png\n\
257```\n\n\
258The panel is your own HTML and CSS, rendered in a sandbox: **no JavaScript \
259runs and nothing may load from the network**. Inline your styles, reference \
260attached assets by their bare filename, and use `data:` URIs for anything \
261small. A `<script>`, a remote font or an external image is silently blocked, \
262so do not spend effort on them.\n\n\
263The owner may answer back with a question of their own instead of deciding - \
264`magi ask` then exits 0 and prints what they said, because that is not a \
265failure, it is the conversation continuing. Read it, and reply on the same \
266question with `--thread`:\n\n\
267```sh\n\
268magi ask --thread <question-id> --summary \"...\" --choice A --choice B\n\
269```\n\n\
270This appends your reply and waits again; it does not start a new question, so \
271say only what is new. Restate `--choice` if the right answers changed because \
272of what the owner asked - the previous choices are gone otherwise, not kept. \
273Keep replying on the same thread until an answer comes back.\n\n\
274Ask sparingly. A question stops the run until a human notices it, and asking \
275about something you could have decided yourself is how that channel becomes \
276noise the owner learns to ignore. Asking permission for something you were \
277already meant to do is the same noise.",

298/// chosen by whether the seat may write at all.
299///
300/// Spliced into every node prompt (in [`crate::graph::wave`] and
301/// [`crate::graph::Runner::synthesize_brief`]) when the run's config declares
302/// a `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` — which is also the directory the verify commands
303/// build into. The text is stable so tests can assert on it; the value of the
304/// variable is not spelled out because a write-allowed seat reads it from its
305/// own environment, and a prompt that hardcodes a path would go stale the
306/// moment the config moves the cache.
307///
308/// `allow_write` must agree with whether the caller actually hands the seat
309/// `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` (see [`crate::agent::Invocation::cache_dir`]) — a
310/// read-only seat that is still told "build through it" is exactly how a
311/// sandboxed reviewer's write refusal to a directory it was never meant to
312/// touch got reported as a defect in the patch under review. So a read-only
313/// seat is told plainly that it has no shared cache and that a write refusal
314/// anywhere outside its own worktree is expected, not evidence of anything.
315///
316/// The fund-transfer reality the write-allowed note exists to prevent: an
317/// implementer that builds with its own `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` (or lets cargo
318/// create a fresh `target/` in the worktree) is compiling a second copy of
319/// the world that nobody prunes, on a machine that has already had that exact
320/// failure once. It also spells out the one thing a test name filter cannot
321/// do — `cargo test report::` still compiles every integration target in the
322/// workspace, because the filter selects which tests *run*, not which
323/// targets get *built* — so a seat asked for a narrow check knows to reach
324/// for `--lib`/`--test` instead of assuming a filter alone bounds the build.
325///
326/// `node` is the graph node this is spliced into (`"review"`, `"fix"`, ...).
327/// A reviewer or fixer gets an extra paragraph saying full verification is
328/// magi's own job, not theirs to repeat — the same duplicated-full-suite cost
329/// neither note's own advice does anything to prevent on its own, since a
330/// seat that dutifully stays inside its own worktree can still spend the
331/// round re-running the whole suite there. Phrased as a request, not a
332/// guarantee: magi has no way to stop a seat from running `cargo test
333/// --all-targets` anyway, so the note asks rather than claims it enforces

427            comments, tests, commit messages, or your reply. Attribution \
428            trailers (`Co-Authored-By:`, `Generated with ...`) are prohibited; \
429            a commit hook strips them if you add them anyway.\n\

432            files.\n\
433         6. If the task is ambiguous, take the interpretation that changes the \
434            least, and state the assumption in your summary.\n\
435         7. If you start something in the background (a test run, a build), \
436            do not end your reply while it is still pending. Confirm it \
437            finished and report on its actual result. \"I'll wait\" or \
438            \"continuing once it completes\" is never the final line of this \
439            reply.\n\n\
440         # Reply format\n\n\
441         End your reply with, exactly:\n\n\
442         ## SUMMARY\n\
443         TITLE: type(scope): one-line description of the change you made\n\
444         - background: why the change is needed\n\
445         - what you changed, concretely and by area (max 10 bullets)\n\
446         - risks or follow-up a reviewer should check\n\
447         - how to verify by hand\n\n\
448         The SUMMARY becomes the pull request description, so write it for a \
449         reviewer who has not seen the task.\n\n\
450         The `TITLE:` line is the first line under SUMMARY. It becomes the \
451         pull request title, so describe the change itself in a conventional-\
452         commit style (`fix(web): …`) and keep the `type(scope):` prefix in \
453         English. Do not write it for a NO CHANGE NEEDED reply.\n\n\
454         If, after investigating, you conclude the task's request is already \
455         satisfied elsewhere and no change belongs in this worktree, write no \
456         bullets. Instead start SUMMARY with a line reading exactly \
457         `NO CHANGE NEEDED:` followed by the evidence you verified it with — \
458         the commit SHA(s) you checked, the existing test name(s) that already \
459         cover it, the exact command you ran and its output, or the path you \
460         read. An empty or unsupported claim reads as an ordinary candidate \
461         that wrote nothing, not a verified one.\n\n{}{}{}",

1609         `failed` or machine-held, and nobody has decided what to do about them \

1611         findings and how the fixer treated each one — addressed, or \
1612         rejected with a reason — not only the last round's. The same \
1613         argument raised and declined the same way in every round is a \
1614         settled disagreement; a finding that was never rejected and never \
1615         addressed is simply unfixed. Tell them apart.\n\n\
1616         A `manual` (or `legacy`) hold is operator-owned evidence, not a \
1617         recovery target: leave it out of your reply.\n\n\
1618         Choose one via `recovery`:\n\
1619         - `requeue` — back in line, a fresh competition from scratch.\n\
1620         - `hold` — leave it for a human, and only when there is truly \
1621           nothing more specific to say than the diagnosis itself: no \
1622           action is possible yet, or the diagnosis is simply information \
1623           the operator should have (a note that main already carries the \
1624           same change, say) with no decision attached. Do not reach for \
1625           `hold` merely because the fix is small — a title that is a few \
1626           characters too long, a gate that timed out, a worktree to clean \
1627           up before retrying are all still a human's call, just a cheap \
1628           one, and cheap is not the same as none.\n\
1629         - `review` — only when `branch` below is set: reopen exactly that \
1630           branch through a review-only pass (review, verify, gate — no \
1631           reimplementation). Choose this when the branch is fundamentally \
1632           sound and what is left is a mergeable fix to its findings; choose \
1633           `requeue` instead when the findings say the design itself needs \
1634           to change.\n\
1635         - `done` — the task's own goal is already met outside this loop \
1636           entirely (an `answered` line below already says the branch was \
1637           merged and the worktree cleaned up by hand, say) and running it \
1638           again would only spend attempts on work with nothing left to do. \
1639           Only once the operator's own words say so; never guess this one.\n\n\
1640         `hold` and `question` are not interchangeable labels for the same \
1641         thing: if your own diagnosis lets you write the human's next step \
1642         as one concrete sentence — shorten the PR title and open it, \
1643         delete the stale worktree and resume from review, confirm PR #N \
1644         already covers this and close the task — that sentence belongs in \
1645         `question` (with `choices` when the answer is a pick from a short \
1646         list), never in `hold`'s `reason`. Once that question is answered \
1647         and confirms the task is already done, use `done` on a later cycle \
1648         rather than asking the same thing again. A `hold` whose `reason` \
1649         reads like an instruction rather than a status report is a \
1650         `question` you talked yourself out of asking. `hold` is for when \
1651         no such one-line instruction exists yet; `question` is for when \
1652         one \
1653         already does and only needs the human's word — or a quick manual \
1654         action — before the task can move again.\n\n\
1655         You may also `ask` the operator instead of choosing a recovery — \
1656         see below.\n\n",
