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.

232    let mut s = String::from(

234# Asking the owner\n\n\
235If a decision is genuinely the owner's - a product choice, a tradeoff with no \
236technically correct answer, something that would be expensive to undo - stop \
237and ask instead of guessing:\n\n\
238```sh\n\
239magi ask --summary \"Which storage backend?\" --choice SQLite --choice Redis\n\
240```\n\n\
241It blocks and prints the owner's answer on stdout. Omit `--choice` for a \
242free-text reply.\n\n\
243**An answer is an instruction to you.** Every question presumes that once \
244the owner answers, you carry the answer out yourself: the process blocked \
245in `magi ask` continues with it. So never ask permission for something you \
246can and should just do - resuming a parked run, which the project \
247instructions already tell you to do, is done, not asked about. Only when a \
248part genuinely cannot be done by you, say in the question WHO will do it \
249(agent, operator or daemon) for each choice, and start each `--choice` label \
250with that actor, so the owner knows whether picking it leads to action or to \
251waiting on someone:\n\n\
252```sh\n\
253magi ask --summary \"Token expired: who rotates it?\" --choice \"agent: switch to the read-only mirror\" --choice \"operator: rotate the token, then I continue\"\n\
254```\n\n\
255Keep the actor word in English (`agent:`, `operator:`, `daemon:`) whatever \
256language the question is written in.\n\n\
257When a choice should make the daemon act on the task behind your run once it \
258is picked, attach a structured action to that exact choice with `--action \
259\"<choice>=<verb>\"`: `resume` (continue this run, or `resume:<run-id>`), \
260`requeue` (a fresh competition) or `done`. The daemon never infers an action \
261from a label's wording, so a choice without `--action` only records the \
262answer.\n\n\
263```sh\n\
264magi ask --summary \"Continue this run?\" --choice \"daemon: resume the run\" --action \"daemon: resume the run=resume\" --choice \"operator: I will decide later\"\n\
265```\n\n\
266**Never put this in the background.** The process blocked inside `magi ask` \
267*is* the conversation with the owner - it is the only thing that will ever \
268read their answer. Backgrounding it, or letting your own process exit while \
269it is still running, does not free you to keep working and pick the answer \
270up later: it throws the answer away. The owner still sees the question, \
271still replies, and nothing is left listening. A single call cannot block \
272forever, so instead of hanging until something kills it, it stops on its own \
273after a while and prints that nothing has happened yet - not a failure, just \
274this call's own turn running out. When you see that, call it again, in the \
275foreground, exactly as told:\n\n\
276```sh\n\
277magi ask --wait <question-id>\n\
278```\n\n\
279Keep calling `--wait` in the foreground - one blocking call after another - \
280until an answer or a reply comes back. It resumes the same wait; it does not \
281ask anything new and takes no `--summary`. Backgrounding *this* call throws \
282the answer away exactly as backgrounding the first one would.\n\n\
283You can attach a page you format yourself, which is how the owner actually \
284judges: a diff, a table of what changes, a rendered before and after.\n\n\
285```sh\n\
286magi ask --summary \"...\" --choice A --choice B --panel panel.html --asset shot.png\n\
287```\n\n\
288The panel is your own HTML and CSS, rendered in a sandbox: **no JavaScript \
289runs and nothing may load from the network**. External links must carry \
290`target=\"_blank\"` to work: a link that navigates the frame itself is refused. \
291Inline your styles, reference \
292attached assets by their bare filename, and use `data:` URIs for anything \
293small. A `<script>`, a remote font or an external image is silently blocked, \
294so do not spend effort on them.\n\n\
295The owner may answer back with a question of their own instead of deciding - \
296`magi ask` then exits 0 and prints what they said, because that is not a \
297failure, it is the conversation continuing. Read it, and reply on the same \
298question with `--thread`:\n\n\
299```sh\n\
300magi ask --thread <question-id> --summary \"...\" --choice A --choice B\n\
301```\n\n\
302This appends your reply and waits again; it does not start a new question, so \
303say only what is new. Restate `--choice` if the right answers changed because \
304of what the owner asked - the previous choices are gone otherwise, not kept. \
305Keep replying on the same thread until an answer comes back.\n\n\
306Ask sparingly. A question stops the run until a human notices it, and asking \
307about something you could have decided yourself is how that channel becomes \
308noise the owner learns to ignore. Asking permission for something you were \
309already meant to do is the same noise.",

333/// [`crate::graph::Runner::synthesize_brief`]) when the run's config declares
334/// a `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` — which is also the directory the verify commands
335/// build into. The text is stable so tests can assert on it; the value of the
336/// variable is not spelled out because a write-allowed seat reads it from its
337/// own environment, and a prompt that hardcodes a path would go stale the
338/// moment the config moves the cache.
339///
340/// `allow_write` must agree with whether the caller actually hands the seat
341/// `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` (see [`crate::agent::Invocation::cache_dir`]) — a
342/// read-only seat that is still told "build through it" is exactly how a
343/// sandboxed reviewer's write refusal to a directory it was never meant to
344/// touch got reported as a defect in the patch under review. So a read-only
345/// seat is told plainly that it has no shared cache and that a write refusal
346/// anywhere outside its own worktree is expected, not evidence of anything.
347///
348/// The fund-transfer reality the write-allowed note exists to prevent: an
349/// implementer that builds with its own `CARGO_TARGET_DIR` (or lets cargo
350/// create a fresh `target/` in the worktree) is compiling a second copy of
351/// the world that nobody prunes, on a machine that has already had that exact
352/// failure once. It also spells out the one thing a test name filter cannot
353/// do — `cargo test report::` still compiles every integration target in the
354/// workspace, because the filter selects which tests *run*, not which
355/// targets get *built* — so a seat asked for a narrow check knows to reach
356/// for `--lib`/`--test` instead of assuming a filter alone bounds the build.
357///
358/// `node` is the graph node this is spliced into (`"review"`, `"fix"`, ...).
359/// A reviewer or fixer gets an extra paragraph saying full verification is
360/// magi's own job, not theirs to repeat — the same duplicated-full-suite cost
361/// neither note's own advice does anything to prevent on its own, since a
362/// seat that dutifully stays inside its own worktree can still spend the
363/// round re-running the whole suite there. Phrased as a request, not a
364/// guarantee: magi has no way to stop a seat from running `cargo test

518            finished and report on its actual result. \"I'll wait\" or \

533         commit style (`fix(web): …`) and keep the `type(scope):` prefix in \
534         English. Do not write it for a NO CHANGE NEEDED reply.\n\n\
535         If, after investigating, you conclude the task's request is already \
536         satisfied elsewhere and no change belongs in this worktree, write no \
537         bullets. Instead start SUMMARY with a line reading exactly \
538         `NO CHANGE NEEDED:` followed by the evidence you verified it with — \
539         the commit SHA(s) you checked, the existing test name(s) that already \
540         cover it, the exact command you ran and its output, or the path you \
541         read. An empty or unsupported claim reads as an ordinary candidate \

1342            with `GIT_EDITOR=true git rebase --continue`. If git stops again on \
1343            the next commit, resolve that too and continue until the rebase \
1344            has finished.\n\
1345         3. Do not run `git rebase --abort` or `--skip`, do not reset or move \
1346            the branch, and do not push. Leave no conflict markers behind. Keep \
1347            every commit's subject and author as they are: a commit that \
1348            goes missing from the result fails the rebase.\n\

1731             so the task says it applies after that pull request merges, and \

1737             there, because once magi confirms the merge it releases exactly the \
1738             tasks held with a reason naming that pull request), and never pass \

1746             (its id and a one-line title) and say they are held until the owner \
1747             runs `magi task release <id>`. If the owner asked for follow-ups but \
1748             you filed none (nothing eligible, or `magi task add` refused it as a \
1749             duplicate), say so in the note and give the real reason. On a resumed \

2316         findings and how the fixer treated each one — addressed, or \
2317         rejected with a reason — not only the last round's. The same \
2318         argument raised and declined the same way in every round is a \
2319         settled disagreement; a finding that was never rejected and never \
2320         addressed is simply unfixed. Tell them apart.\n\n\
2321         A `manual` (or `legacy`) hold is operator-owned evidence, not a \
2322         recovery target: leave it out of your reply.\n\n\
2323         Choose one via `recovery`:\n\
2324         - `requeue` — back in line, a fresh competition from scratch.\n\
2325         - `hold` — leave it for a human, and only when there is truly \
2326           nothing more specific to say than the diagnosis itself: no \
2327           action is possible yet, or the diagnosis is simply information \
2328           the operator should have (a note that main already carries the \
2329           same change, say) with no decision attached. Do not reach for \
2330           `hold` merely because the fix is small — a title that is a few \
2331           characters too long, a gate that timed out, a worktree to clean \
2332           up before retrying are all still a human's call, just a cheap \
2333           one, and cheap is not the same as none.\n\
2334         - `review` — only when `branch` below is set: reopen exactly that \
2335           branch through a review-only pass (review, verify, gate — no \
2336           reimplementation). Choose this when the branch is fundamentally \
2337           sound and what is left is a mergeable fix to its findings; choose \
2338           `requeue` instead when the findings say the design itself needs \
2339           to change.\n\
2340         - `done` — the task's own goal is already met outside this loop \
2341           entirely (an `answered` line below already says the branch was \
2342           merged and the worktree cleaned up by hand, say) and running it \
2343           again would only spend attempts on work with nothing left to do. \
2344           Only once the operator's own words say so; never guess this one.\n\n\
2345         `hold` and `question` are not interchangeable labels for the same \
2346         thing: if your own diagnosis lets you write the human's next step \
2347         as one concrete sentence — shorten the PR title and open it, \
2348         delete the stale worktree and resume from review, confirm PR #N \
2349         already covers this and close the task — that sentence belongs in \
2350         `question` (with `choices` when the answer is a pick from a short \
2351         list), never in `hold`'s `reason`. Once that question is answered \
2352         and confirms the task is already done, use `done` on a later cycle \
2353         rather than asking the same thing again. A `hold` whose `reason` \
2354         reads like an instruction rather than a status report is a \
2355         `question` you talked yourself out of asking. `hold` is for when \
2356         no such one-line instruction exists yet; `question` is for when \
2357         one \
2358         already does and only needs the human's word — or a quick manual \
2359         action — before the task can move again.\n\n\
2360         You may also `ask` the operator instead of choosing a recovery — \
2361         see below.\n\n",
