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.

212    let mut s = String::from(

214# Asking the owner\n\n\
215If a decision is genuinely the owner's - a product choice, a tradeoff with no \
216technically correct answer, something that would be expensive to undo - stop \
217and ask instead of guessing:\n\n\
218```sh\n\
219magi ask --summary \"Which storage backend?\" --choice SQLite --choice Redis\n\
220```\n\n\
221It blocks and prints the owner's answer on stdout. Omit `--choice` for a \
222free-text reply.\n\n\
223**An answer is an instruction to you.** Every question presumes that once \
224the owner answers, you carry the answer out yourself: the process blocked \
225in `magi ask` continues with it. So never ask permission for something you \
226can and should just do - resuming a parked run, which the project \
227instructions already tell you to do, is done, not asked about. Only when a \
228part genuinely cannot be done by you, say in the question WHO will do it \
229(agent, operator or daemon) for each choice, and start each `--choice` label \
230with that actor, so the owner knows whether picking it leads to action or to \
231waiting on someone:\n\n\
232```sh\n\
233magi ask --summary \"Token expired: who rotates it?\" --choice \"agent: switch to the read-only mirror\" --choice \"operator: rotate the token, then I continue\"\n\
234```\n\n\
235Keep the actor word in English (`agent:`, `operator:`, `daemon:`) whatever \
236language the question is written in.\n\n\
237When a choice should make the daemon act on the task behind your run once it \
238is picked, attach a structured action to that exact choice with `--action \
239\"<choice>=<verb>\"`: `resume` (continue this run, or `resume:<run-id>`), \
240`requeue` (a fresh competition) or `done`. The daemon never infers an action \
241from a label's wording, so a choice without `--action` only records the \
242answer.\n\n\
243```sh\n\
244magi ask --summary \"Continue this run?\" --choice \"daemon: resume the run\" --action \"daemon: resume the run=resume\" --choice \"operator: I will decide later\"\n\
245```\n\n\
246**Never put this in the background.** The process blocked inside `magi ask` \
247*is* the conversation with the owner - it is the only thing that will ever \
248read their answer. Backgrounding it, or letting your own process exit while \
249it is still running, does not free you to keep working and pick the answer \
250up later: it throws the answer away. The owner still sees the question, \
251still replies, and nothing is left listening. A single call cannot block \
252forever, so instead of hanging until something kills it, it stops on its own \
253after a while and prints that nothing has happened yet - not a failure, just \
254this call's own turn running out. When you see that, call it again, in the \
255foreground, exactly as told:\n\n\
256```sh\n\
257magi ask --wait <question-id>\n\
258```\n\n\
259Keep calling `--wait` in the foreground - one blocking call after another - \
260until an answer or a reply comes back. It resumes the same wait; it does not \
261ask anything new and takes no `--summary`. Backgrounding *this* call throws \
262the answer away exactly as backgrounding the first one would.\n\n\
263You can attach a page you format yourself, which is how the owner actually \
264judges: a diff, a table of what changes, a rendered before and after.\n\n\
265```sh\n\
266magi ask --summary \"...\" --choice A --choice B --panel panel.html --asset shot.png\n\
267```\n\n\
268The panel is your own HTML and CSS, rendered in a sandbox: **no JavaScript \
269runs and nothing may load from the network**. Inline your styles, reference \
270attached assets by their bare filename, and use `data:` URIs for anything \
271small. A `<script>`, a remote font or an external image is silently blocked, \
272so do not spend effort on them.\n\n\
273The owner may answer back with a question of their own instead of deciding - \
274`magi ask` then exits 0 and prints what they said, because that is not a \
275failure, it is the conversation continuing. Read it, and reply on the same \
276question with `--thread`:\n\n\
277```sh\n\
278magi ask --thread <question-id> --summary \"...\" --choice A --choice B\n\
279```\n\n\
280This appends your reply and waits again; it does not start a new question, so \
281say only what is new. Restate `--choice` if the right answers changed because \
282of what the owner asked - the previous choices are gone otherwise, not kept. \
283Keep replying on the same thread until an answer comes back.\n\n\
284Ask sparingly. A question stops the run until a human notices it, and asking \
285about something you could have decided yourself is how that channel becomes \
286noise the owner learns to ignore. Asking permission for something you were \
287already meant to do is the same noise.",

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

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

1217            often right; pick one side only when the other is truly \
1218            superseded.\n\
1219         2. Stage the resolved files with `git add`, then complete the rebase \
1220            with `GIT_EDITOR=true git rebase --continue`. If git stops again on \
1221            the next commit, resolve that too and continue until the rebase \
1222            has finished.\n\
1223         3. Do not run `git rebase --abort` or `--skip`, do not reset or move \
1224            the branch, and do not push. Leave no conflict markers behind.\n\
1225         4. Aim for a tree that builds and passes the project's checks against \
1226            the new base; if the base added a rule the branch's code now \
1227            violates, fix that too.\n\

1754         findings and how the fixer treated each one — addressed, or \
1755         rejected with a reason — not only the last round's. The same \
1756         argument raised and declined the same way in every round is a \
1757         settled disagreement; a finding that was never rejected and never \
1758         addressed is simply unfixed. Tell them apart.\n\n\
1759         A `manual` (or `legacy`) hold is operator-owned evidence, not a \
1760         recovery target: leave it out of your reply.\n\n\
1761         Choose one via `recovery`:\n\
1762         - `requeue` — back in line, a fresh competition from scratch.\n\
1763         - `hold` — leave it for a human, and only when there is truly \
1764           nothing more specific to say than the diagnosis itself: no \
1765           action is possible yet, or the diagnosis is simply information \
1766           the operator should have (a note that main already carries the \
1767           same change, say) with no decision attached. Do not reach for \
1768           `hold` merely because the fix is small — a title that is a few \
1769           characters too long, a gate that timed out, a worktree to clean \
1770           up before retrying are all still a human's call, just a cheap \
1771           one, and cheap is not the same as none.\n\
1772         - `review` — only when `branch` below is set: reopen exactly that \
1773           branch through a review-only pass (review, verify, gate — no \
1774           reimplementation). Choose this when the branch is fundamentally \
1775           sound and what is left is a mergeable fix to its findings; choose \
1776           `requeue` instead when the findings say the design itself needs \
1777           to change.\n\
1778         - `done` — the task's own goal is already met outside this loop \
1779           entirely (an `answered` line below already says the branch was \
1780           merged and the worktree cleaned up by hand, say) and running it \
1781           again would only spend attempts on work with nothing left to do. \
1782           Only once the operator's own words say so; never guess this one.\n\n\
1783         `hold` and `question` are not interchangeable labels for the same \
1784         thing: if your own diagnosis lets you write the human's next step \
1785         as one concrete sentence — shorten the PR title and open it, \
1786         delete the stale worktree and resume from review, confirm PR #N \
1787         already covers this and close the task — that sentence belongs in \
1788         `question` (with `choices` when the answer is a pick from a short \
1789         list), never in `hold`'s `reason`. Once that question is answered \
1790         and confirms the task is already done, use `done` on a later cycle \
1791         rather than asking the same thing again. A `hold` whose `reason` \
1792         reads like an instruction rather than a status report is a \
1793         `question` you talked yourself out of asking. `hold` is for when \
1794         no such one-line instruction exists yet; `question` is for when \
1795         one \
1796         already does and only needs the human's word — or a quick manual \
1797         action — before the task can move again.\n\n\
1798         You may also `ask` the operator instead of choosing a recovery — \
1799         see below.\n\n",
