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\
236When a choice should make the daemon act on the task behind your run once it \
237is picked, attach a structured action to that exact choice with `--action \
238\"<choice>=<verb>\"`: `resume` (continue this run, or `resume:<run-id>`), \
239`requeue` (a fresh competition) or `done`. The daemon never infers an action \
240from a label's wording, so a choice without `--action` only records the \
241answer.\n\n\
242```sh\n\
243magi ask --summary \"Continue this run?\" --choice \"daemon: resume the run\" --action \"daemon: resume the run=resume\" --choice \"operator: I will decide later\"\n\
244```\n\n\
245**Never put this in the background.** The process blocked inside `magi ask` \
246*is* the conversation with the owner - it is the only thing that will ever \
247read their answer. Backgrounding it, or letting your own process exit while \
248it is still running, does not free you to keep working and pick the answer \
249up later: it throws the answer away. The owner still sees the question, \
250still replies, and nothing is left listening. A single call cannot block \
251forever, so instead of hanging until something kills it, it stops on its own \
252after a while and prints that nothing has happened yet - not a failure, just \
253this call's own turn running out. When you see that, call it again, in the \
254foreground, exactly as told:\n\n\
255```sh\n\
256magi ask --wait <question-id>\n\
257```\n\n\
258Keep calling `--wait` in the foreground - one blocking call after another - \
259until an answer or a reply comes back. It resumes the same wait; it does not \
260ask anything new and takes no `--summary`. Backgrounding *this* call throws \
261the answer away exactly as backgrounding the first one would.\n\n\
262You can attach a page you format yourself, which is how the owner actually \
263judges: a diff, a table of what changes, a rendered before and after.\n\n\
264```sh\n\
265magi ask --summary \"...\" --choice A --choice B --panel panel.html --asset shot.png\n\
266```\n\n\
267The panel is your own HTML and CSS, rendered in a sandbox: **no JavaScript \
268runs and nothing may load from the network**. Inline your styles, reference \
269attached assets by their bare filename, and use `data:` URIs for anything \
270small. A `<script>`, a remote font or an external image is silently blocked, \
271so do not spend effort on them.\n\n\
272The owner may answer back with a question of their own instead of deciding - \
273`magi ask` then exits 0 and prints what they said, because that is not a \
274failure, it is the conversation continuing. Read it, and reply on the same \
275question with `--thread`:\n\n\
276```sh\n\
277magi ask --thread <question-id> --summary \"...\" --choice A --choice B\n\
278```\n\n\
279This appends your reply and waits again; it does not start a new question, so \
280say only what is new. Restate `--choice` if the right answers changed because \
281of what the owner asked - the previous choices are gone otherwise, not kept. \
282Keep replying on the same thread until an answer comes back.\n\n\
283Ask sparingly. A question stops the run until a human notices it, and asking \
284about something you could have decided yourself is how that channel becomes \
285noise the owner learns to ignore. Asking permission for something you were \
286already meant to do is the same noise.",

308///
309/// Spliced into every node prompt (in [`crate::graph::wave`] and
310/// [`crate::graph::Runner::synthesize_brief`]) when the run's config declares
311/// a `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` — which is also the directory the verify commands
312/// build into. The text is stable so tests can assert on it; the value of the
313/// variable is not spelled out because a write-allowed seat reads it from its
314/// own environment, and a prompt that hardcodes a path would go stale the
315/// moment the config moves the cache.
316///
317/// `allow_write` must agree with whether the caller actually hands the seat
318/// `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` (see [`crate::agent::Invocation::cache_dir`]) — a
319/// read-only seat that is still told "build through it" is exactly how a
320/// sandboxed reviewer's write refusal to a directory it was never meant to
321/// touch got reported as a defect in the patch under review. So a read-only
322/// seat is told plainly that it has no shared cache and that a write refusal
323/// anywhere outside its own worktree is expected, not evidence of anything.
324///
325/// The fund-transfer reality the write-allowed note exists to prevent: an
326/// implementer that builds with its own `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` (or lets cargo
327/// create a fresh `target/` in the worktree) is compiling a second copy of
328/// the world that nobody prunes, on a machine that has already had that exact
329/// failure once. It also spells out the one thing a test name filter cannot
330/// do — `cargo test report::` still compiles every integration target in the
331/// workspace, because the filter selects which tests *run*, not which
332/// targets get *built* — so a seat asked for a narrow check knows to reach
333/// for `--lib`/`--test` instead of assuming a filter alone bounds the build.
334///
335/// `node` is the graph node this is spliced into (`"review"`, `"fix"`, ...).
336/// A reviewer or fixer gets an extra paragraph saying full verification is
337/// magi's own job, not theirs to repeat — the same duplicated-full-suite cost
338/// neither note's own advice does anything to prevent on its own, since a
339/// seat that dutifully stays inside its own worktree can still spend the
340/// round re-running the whole suite there. Phrased as a request, not a
341/// guarantee: magi has no way to stop a seat from running `cargo test
342/// --all-targets` anyway, so the note asks rather than claims it enforces

434            matters.\n\
435         3. Never name yourself, your vendor, or your model — not in code, \
436            comments, tests, commit messages, or your reply. Attribution \
437            trailers (`Co-Authored-By:`, `Generated with ...`) are prohibited; \
438            a commit hook strips them if you add them anyway.\n\
439         4. Do not add dependencies, CI, or tooling the task did not ask for.\n\
440         5. Do not run repository-wide formatters or lint fixes over untouched \
441            files.\n\
442         6. If the task is ambiguous, take the interpretation that changes the \
443            least, and state the assumption in your summary.\n\
444         7. If you start something in the background (a test run, a build), \
445            do not end your reply while it is still pending. Confirm it \
446            finished and report on its actual result. \"I'll wait\" or \
447            \"continuing once it completes\" is never the final line of this \
448            reply.\n\n\
449         # Reply format\n\n\
450         End your reply with, exactly:\n\n\
451         ## SUMMARY\n\
452         TITLE: type(scope): one-line description of the change you made\n\
453         - background: why the change is needed\n\
454         - what you changed, concretely and by area (max 10 bullets)\n\
455         - risks or follow-up a reviewer should check\n\
456         - how to verify by hand\n\n\
457         The SUMMARY becomes the pull request description, so write it for a \
458         reviewer who has not seen the task.\n\n\
459         The `TITLE:` line is the first line under SUMMARY. It becomes the \
460         pull request title, so describe the change itself in a conventional-\
461         commit style (`fix(web): …`) and keep the `type(scope):` prefix in \
462         English. Do not write it for a NO CHANGE NEEDED reply.\n\n\
463         If, after investigating, you conclude the task's request is already \
464         satisfied elsewhere and no change belongs in this worktree, write no \
465         bullets. Instead start SUMMARY with a line reading exactly \
466         `NO CHANGE NEEDED:` followed by the evidence you verified it with — \
467         the commit SHA(s) you checked, the existing test name(s) that already \
468         cover it, the exact command you ran and its output, or the path you \
469         read. An empty or unsupported claim reads as an ordinary candidate \
470         that wrote nothing, not a verified one.\n\n{}{}{}",

814         (do not proceed as-is). The vote is your verdict and the findings are your \

1620         findings and how the fixer treated each one — addressed, or \
1621         rejected with a reason — not only the last round's. The same \
1622         argument raised and declined the same way in every round is a \
1623         settled disagreement; a finding that was never rejected and never \
1624         addressed is simply unfixed. Tell them apart.\n\n\
1625         A `manual` (or `legacy`) hold is operator-owned evidence, not a \
1626         recovery target: leave it out of your reply.\n\n\
1627         Choose one via `recovery`:\n\
1628         - `requeue` — back in line, a fresh competition from scratch.\n\
1629         - `hold` — leave it for a human, and only when there is truly \
1630           nothing more specific to say than the diagnosis itself: no \
1631           action is possible yet, or the diagnosis is simply information \
1632           the operator should have (a note that main already carries the \
1633           same change, say) with no decision attached. Do not reach for \
1634           `hold` merely because the fix is small — a title that is a few \
1635           characters too long, a gate that timed out, a worktree to clean \
1636           up before retrying are all still a human's call, just a cheap \
1637           one, and cheap is not the same as none.\n\
1638         - `review` — only when `branch` below is set: reopen exactly that \
1639           branch through a review-only pass (review, verify, gate — no \
1640           reimplementation). Choose this when the branch is fundamentally \
1641           sound and what is left is a mergeable fix to its findings; choose \
1642           `requeue` instead when the findings say the design itself needs \
1643           to change.\n\
1644         - `done` — the task's own goal is already met outside this loop \
1645           entirely (an `answered` line below already says the branch was \
1646           merged and the worktree cleaned up by hand, say) and running it \
1647           again would only spend attempts on work with nothing left to do. \
1648           Only once the operator's own words say so; never guess this one.\n\n\
1649         `hold` and `question` are not interchangeable labels for the same \
1650         thing: if your own diagnosis lets you write the human's next step \
1651         as one concrete sentence — shorten the PR title and open it, \
1652         delete the stale worktree and resume from review, confirm PR #N \
1653         already covers this and close the task — that sentence belongs in \
1654         `question` (with `choices` when the answer is a pick from a short \
1655         list), never in `hold`'s `reason`. Once that question is answered \
1656         and confirms the task is already done, use `done` on a later cycle \
1657         rather than asking the same thing again. A `hold` whose `reason` \
1658         reads like an instruction rather than a status report is a \
1659         `question` you talked yourself out of asking. `hold` is for when \
1660         no such one-line instruction exists yet; `question` is for when \
1661         one \
1662         already does and only needs the human's word — or a quick manual \
1663         action — before the task can move again.\n\n\
1664         You may also `ask` the operator instead of choosing a recovery — \
1665         see below.\n\n",
