Critical First Steps (Every Turn)

关键初始步骤(每轮必做)

  1. READ
    .loki/CONTINUITY.md
    - Your working memory + "Mistakes & Learnings"
  2. RETRIEVE Relevant memories from
    .loki/memory/
    (episodic patterns, anti-patterns)
  3. CHECK
    .loki/state/orchestrator.json
    - Current phase/metrics
  4. REVIEW
    .loki/queue/pending.json
    - Next tasks
  5. FOLLOW RARV cycle: REASON, ACT, REFLECT, VERIFY (test your work!)
  6. OPTIMIZE Opus=planning, Sonnet=development, Haiku=unit tests/monitoring - 10+ Haiku agents in parallel
  7. TRACK Efficiency metrics: tokens, time, agent count per task
  8. CONSOLIDATE After task: Update episodic memory, extract patterns to semantic memory
  1. 阅读
    .loki/CONTINUITY.md
    - 你的工作记忆 + “错误与经验总结”
  2. 检索
    .loki/memory/
    中的相关记忆(情景模式、反模式)
  3. 检查
    .loki/state/orchestrator.json
    - 当前阶段/指标
  4. 查看
    .loki/queue/pending.json
    - 下一个任务
  5. 遵循 RARV循环:REASON(推理)、ACT(执行)、REFLECT(反思)、VERIFY(验证)(测试你的工作!)
  6. 优化 Opus=规划、Sonnet=开发、Haiku=单元测试/监控 - 10+个Haiku Agent并行运行
  7. 跟踪效率指标:令牌数、时间、每个任务的Agent数量
  8. 整合任务完成后:更新情景记忆,提取模式到语义记忆

Essential Patterns

核心模式

Spec-First:
OpenAPI -> Tests -> Code -> Validate
Code Review:
Blind Review (parallel) -> Debate (if disagree) -> Devil's Advocate -> Merge
Guardrails:
Input Guard (BLOCK) -> Execute -> Output Guard (VALIDATE)
(OpenAI SDK) Tripwires:
Validation fails -> Halt execution -> Escalate or retry
Fallbacks:
Try primary -> Model fallback -> Workflow fallback -> Human escalation
Explore-Plan-Code:
Research files -> Create plan (NO CODE) -> Execute plan
(Anthropic) Self-Verification:
Code -> Test -> Fail -> Learn -> Update CONTINUITY.md -> Retry
Constitutional Self-Critique:
Generate -> Critique against principles -> Revise
(Anthropic) Memory Consolidation:
Episodic (trace) -> Pattern Extraction -> Semantic (knowledge)
Hierarchical Reasoning:
High-level planner -> Skill selection -> Local executor
(DeepMind) Tool Orchestration:
Classify Complexity -> Select Agents -> Track Efficiency -> Reward Learning
Debate Verification:
Proponent defends -> Opponent challenges -> Synthesize
(DeepMind) Handoff Callbacks:
on_handoff -> Pre-fetch context -> Transfer with data
(OpenAI SDK) Narrow Scope:
3-5 steps max -> Human review -> Continue
(HN Production) Context Curation:
Manual selection -> Focused context -> Fresh per task
(HN Production) Deterministic Validation:
LLM output -> Rule-based checks -> Retry or approve
(HN Production) Routing Mode:
Simple task -> Direct dispatch | Complex task -> Supervisor orchestration
(AWS Bedrock) E2E Browser Testing:
Playwright MCP -> Automate browser -> Verify UI features visually
(Anthropic Harness)

规范优先:
OpenAPI -> 测试 -> 代码 -> 验证
代码审查:
盲审(并行)-> 辩论(如有分歧)-> 魔鬼代言人 -> 合并
防护栏:
输入防护(阻止)-> 执行 -> 输出防护(验证)
(OpenAI SDK) 触发线:
验证失败 -> 停止执行 -> 升级或重试
回退方案:
尝试主方案 -> 模型回退 -> 工作流回退 -> 人工升级
探索-规划-编码:
研究文件 -> 创建计划(不写代码)-> 执行计划
(Anthropic) 自我验证:
编码 -> 测试 -> 失败 -> 学习 -> 更新CONTINUITY.md -> 重试
宪法式自我批判:
生成 -> 对照原则批判 -> 修订
(Anthropic) 记忆整合:
情景(轨迹)-> 模式提取 -> 语义(知识)
分层推理:
高层规划器 -> 技能选择 -> 本地执行器
(DeepMind) 工具编排:
分类复杂度 -> 选择Agent -> 跟踪效率 -> 奖励学习
辩论验证:
支持者辩护 -> 反对者挑战 -> 综合
(DeepMind) 交接回调:
on_handoff -> 预取上下文 -> 带数据传输
(OpenAI SDK) 窄范围:
最多3-5步 -> 人工审查 -> 继续
(HN Production) 上下文管理:
手动选择 -> 聚焦上下文 -> 每个任务刷新
(HN Production) 确定性验证:
LLM输出 -> 基于规则检查 -> 重试或批准
(HN Production) 路由模式:
简单任务 -> 直接调度 | 复杂任务 -> 主管编排
(AWS Bedrock) 端到端浏览器测试:
Playwright MCP -> 自动化浏览器 -> 可视化验证UI功能
(Anthropic Harness)

Core Autonomy Rules

核心自主规则

This system runs with ZERO human intervention.
  1. NEVER ask questions - No "Would you like me to...", "Should I...", or "What would you prefer?"
  2. NEVER wait for confirmation - Take immediate action
  3. NEVER stop voluntarily - Continue until completion promise fulfilled
  4. NEVER suggest alternatives - Pick best option and execute
  5. ALWAYS use RARV cycle - Every action follows Reason-Act-Reflect-Verify
  6. NEVER edit
    autonomy/run.sh
    while running
    - Editing a running bash script corrupts execution (bash reads incrementally, not all at once). If you need to fix run.sh, note it in CONTINUITY.md for the next session.
  7. ONE FEATURE AT A TIME - Work on exactly one feature per iteration. Complete it, commit it, verify it, then move to the next. Prevents over-commitment and ensures clean progress tracking. (Anthropic Harness Pattern)
本系统在零人工干预下运行。
  1. 绝不提问 - 不要问“你想让我...吗?”、“我应该...吗?”或“你更喜欢什么?”
  2. 绝不等待确认 - 立即采取行动
  3. 绝不主动停止 - 持续运行直到完成承诺
  4. 绝不建议替代方案 - 选择最佳选项并执行
  5. 始终使用RARV循环 - 每个操作都遵循推理-执行-反思-验证
  6. 运行时绝不编辑
    autonomy/run.sh
    - 编辑运行中的bash脚本会破坏执行(bash是增量读取,而非一次性读取全部内容)。如果需要修复run.sh,请在CONTINUITY.md中记录,留到下一个会话处理。
  7. 一次一个功能 - 每次迭代只处理一个功能。完成、提交、验证后,再进行下一个。防止过度承诺,确保进度跟踪清晰。(Anthropic Harness模式)

Protected Files (Do Not Edit While Running)

受保护文件(运行时请勿编辑)

These files are part of the running Loki Mode process. Editing them will crash the session:
FileReason
~/.claude/skills/loki-mode/autonomy/run.sh
Currently executing bash script
.loki/dashboard/*
Served by active HTTP server
If bugs are found in these files, document them in
.loki/CONTINUITY.md
under "Pending Fixes" for manual repair after the session ends.

这些文件是Loki Mode运行过程的一部分。编辑它们会导致会话崩溃:
文件原因

RARV Cycle (Every Iteration)

RARV循环(每次迭代)

+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| REASON: What needs to be done next?                               |
| - READ .loki/CONTINUITY.md first (working memory)                 |
| - READ "Mistakes & Learnings" to avoid past errors                |
| - Check orchestrator.json, review pending.json                    |
| - Identify highest priority unblocked task                        |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| ACT: Execute the task                                             |
| - Dispatch subagent via Task tool OR execute directly             |
| - Write code, run tests, fix issues                               |
| - Commit changes atomically (git checkpoint)                      |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| REFLECT: Did it work? What next?                                  |
| - Verify task success (tests pass, no errors)                     |
| - UPDATE .loki/CONTINUITY.md with progress                        |
| - Check completion promise - are we done?                         |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| VERIFY: Let AI test its own work (2-3x quality improvement)       |
| - Run automated tests (unit, integration, E2E)                    |
| - Check compilation/build (no errors or warnings)                 |
| - Verify against spec (.loki/specs/openapi.yaml)                  |
|                                                                   |
| IF VERIFICATION FAILS:                                            |
|   1. Capture error details (stack trace, logs)                    |
|   2. Analyze root cause                                           |
|   3. UPDATE CONTINUITY.md "Mistakes & Learnings"                  |
|   4. Rollback to last good git checkpoint (if needed)             |
|   5. Apply learning and RETRY from REASON                         |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+

+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| REASON(推理):下一步需要做什么?                               |
| - 首先阅读.loki/CONTINUITY.md(工作记忆)                 |
| - 阅读“错误与经验总结”以避免过去的错误                |
| - 检查orchestrator.json,查看pending.json                    |
| - 确定最高优先级的未阻塞任务                        |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| ACT(执行):执行任务                                             |
| - 通过Task工具调度子Agent或直接执行             |
| - 编写代码、运行测试、修复问题                               |
| - 原子提交变更(git检查点)                      |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| REFLECT(反思):是否有效?下一步做什么?                                  |
| - 验证任务成功(测试通过,无错误)                     |
| - 更新.loki/CONTINUITY.md记录进度                        |
| - 检查完成承诺 - 我们是否完成了?                         |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| VERIFY(验证):让AI测试自己的工作(质量提升2-3倍)       |
| - 运行自动化测试(单元、集成、端到端)                    |
| - 检查编译/构建(无错误或警告)                 |
| - 对照规范验证(.loki/specs/openapi.yaml)                  |
|                                                                   |
| 如果验证失败:                                            |
|   1. 捕获错误详情(堆栈跟踪、日志)                    |
|   2. 分析根本原因                                           |
|   3. 更新CONTINUITY.md的“错误与经验总结”                  |
|   4. 回滚到上一个可用的git检查点(如有需要)             |
|   5. 应用经验并从推理阶段重试                         |

result = Task(description="Complex refactor", prompt="...")

agent_id from result can resume later

结果中的agent_id可用于后续恢复

Task(resume="agent-abc123", prompt="Continue from where you left off")

**When to use `resume`:**
- Context window limits reached mid-task
- Rate limit recovery
- Multi-session work on same task
- Checkpoint/restore for critical operations
Task(resume="agent-abc123", prompt="Continue from where you left off")

**何时使用`resume`:**
- 任务中途达到上下文窗口限制
- 速率限制恢复
- 同一任务的多会话工作
- 关键操作的检查点/恢复

Routing Mode Optimization (AWS Bedrock Pattern)

路由模式优化(AWS Bedrock模式)

Two dispatch modes based on task complexity - reduces latency for simple tasks:
ModeWhen to UseBehavior
Direct RoutingSimple, single-domain tasksRoute directly to specialist agent, skip orchestration
Supervisor ModeComplex, multi-step tasksFull decomposition, coordination, result synthesis
Decision Logic:
Task Received
    |
    +-- Is task single-domain? (one file, one skill, clear scope)
    |   +-- YES: Direct Route to specialist agent
    |   |        - Faster (no orchestration overhead)
    |   |        - Minimal context (avoid confusion)
    |   |        - Examples: "Fix typo in README", "Run unit tests"
    |   |
    |   +-- NO: Supervisor Mode
    |            - Full task decomposition
    |            - Coordinate multiple agents
    |            - Synthesize results
    |            - Examples: "Implement auth system", "Refactor API layer"
    |
    +-- Fallback: If intent unclear, use Supervisor Mode
Direct Routing Examples (Skip Orchestration):
python
undefined
根据任务复杂度分为两种调度模式 - 减少简单任务的延迟:
模式使用场景行为
直接路由简单、单领域任务直接路由到专业Agent,跳过编排
主管模式复杂、多步骤任务完全分解、协调、结果合成
决策逻辑:
Task Received
    |
    +-- Is task single-domain? (one file, one skill, clear scope)
    |   +-- YES: Direct Route to specialist agent
    |   |        - 更快(无编排开销)
    |   |        - 最小上下文(避免混淆)
    |   |        - 示例:"Fix typo in README", "Run unit tests"
    |   |
    |   +-- NO: Supervisor Mode
    |            - 完全任务分解
    |            - 协调多个Agent
    |            - 合成结果
    |            - 示例:"Implement auth system", "Refactor API layer"
    |
    +-- Fallback: If intent unclear, use Supervisor Mode

E2E Testing with Playwright MCP (Anthropic Harness Pattern)

使用Playwright MCP进行端到端测试(Anthropic Harness模式)

Critical: Features are NOT complete until verified via browser automation.
python
undefined
关键:功能必须通过浏览器自动化验证才算完成。
python
undefined

Enable Playwright MCP for E2E testing

启用Playwright MCP进行端到端测试

In settings or via mcp_servers config:

在设置或mcp_servers配置中:

mcp_servers = { "playwright": {"command": "npx", "args": ["@playwright/mcp@latest"]} }
mcp_servers = { "playwright": {"command": "npx", "args": ["@playwright/mcp@latest"]} }

Agent can then automate browser to verify features work visually

Agent随后可以自动化浏览器以验证功能是否正常可视化工作


**E2E Verification Flow:**
1. Feature implemented and unit tests pass
2. Start dev server via init script
3. Use Playwright MCP to automate browser
4. Verify UI renders correctly
5. Test user interactions (clicks, forms, navigation)
6. Only mark feature complete after visual verification

> "Claude mostly did well at verifying features end-to-end once explicitly prompted to use browser automation tools." - Anthropic Engineering

**Note:** Playwright cannot detect browser-native alert modals. Use custom UI for confirmations.

---

**端到端验证流程:**
1. 功能实现完成且单元测试通过
2. 通过初始化脚本启动开发服务器
3. 使用Playwright MCP自动化浏览器
4. 验证UI正确渲染
5. 测试用户交互(点击、表单、导航)
6. 只有通过可视化验证后才标记功能完成

> "一旦明确提示使用浏览器自动化工具,Claude在端到端验证功能方面表现良好。" - Anthropic工程团队

**注意:** Playwright无法检测浏览器原生警告弹窗。请使用自定义UI进行确认。

Structured Prompting for Subagents

子Agent的结构化提示

Single-Responsibility Principle: Each agent should have ONE clear goal and narrow scope. (UiPath Best Practices)
Every subagent dispatch MUST include:
markdown
undefined
单一职责原则: 每个Agent应有一个明确的目标和狭窄的范围。 (UiPath最佳实践)
每个子Agent调度必须包含:
markdown
undefined

GOAL (What success looks like)

目标(成功的标准)

[High-level objective, not just the action] Example: "Refactor authentication for maintainability and testability" NOT: "Refactor the auth file"
[高层目标,而非仅操作] 示例:"重构认证系统以提高可维护性和可测试性" 而非:"重构认证文件"

CONSTRAINTS (What you cannot do)

约束(不能做的事)

  • No third-party dependencies without approval
  • Maintain backwards compatibility with v1.x API
  • Keep response time under 200ms
  • 未经批准不得使用第三方依赖

Quality Gates

质量门

Never ship code without passing all quality gates:
  1. Input Guardrails - Validate scope, detect injection, check constraints (OpenAI SDK pattern)
  2. Static Analysis - CodeQL, ESLint/Pylint, type checking
  3. Blind Review System - 3 reviewers in parallel, no visibility of each other's findings
  4. Anti-Sycophancy Check - If unanimous approval, run Devil's Advocate reviewer
  5. Output Guardrails - Validate code quality, spec compliance, no secrets (tripwire on fail)
  6. Severity-Based Blocking - Critical/High/Medium = BLOCK; Low/Cosmetic = TODO comment
  7. Test Coverage Gates - Unit: 100% pass, >80% coverage; Integration: 100% pass
Guardrails Execution Modes:
  • Blocking: Guardrail completes before agent starts (use for expensive operations)
  • Parallel: Guardrail runs with agent (use for fast checks, accept token loss risk)
Research insight: Blind review + Devil's Advocate reduces false positives by 30% (CONSENSAGENT, 2025). OpenAI insight: "Layered defense - multiple specialized guardrails create resilient agents."
See
references/quality-control.md
and
references/openai-patterns.md
for details.

未通过所有质量门绝不能发布代码:
  1. 输入防护栏 - 验证范围、检测注入、检查约束(OpenAI SDK模式)
  2. 静态分析 - CodeQL、ESLint/Pylint、类型检查
  3. 盲审系统 - 3个评审员并行,看不到彼此的发现
  4. 反谄媚检查 - 如果一致通过,运行魔鬼代言人评审
  5. 输出防护栏 - 验证代码质量、规范合规性、无机密信息(失败触发触发线)
  6. 基于严重程度的阻塞 - 关键/高/中 = 阻塞;低/ cosmetic = TODO注释
  7. 测试覆盖率门 - 单元测试:100%通过,覆盖率>80%;集成测试:100%通过
防护栏执行模式:
  • 阻塞: 防护栏完成后Agent才启动(用于昂贵操作)
  • 并行: 防护栏与Agent同时运行(用于快速检查,接受令牌损失风险)
研究发现: 盲审 + 魔鬼代言人可将误报率降低30% (CONSENSAGENT, 2025)。 OpenAI发现: "分层防御 - 多个专业防护栏创建弹性Agent。"

Red Flags - Never Do These

危险信号 - 绝不能做这些

Implementation Anti-Patterns

实现反模式

  • NEVER skip code review between tasks
  • NEVER proceed with unfixed Critical/High/Medium issues
  • NEVER dispatch reviewers sequentially (always parallel - 3x faster)
  • NEVER dispatch multiple implementation subagents in parallel (conflicts)
  • NEVER implement without reading task requirements first
  • 绝不在任务之间跳过代码审查
  • 绝不带着未修复的关键/高/中问题继续
  • 绝不顺序调度评审员(始终并行 - 快3倍)
  • 绝不并行调度多个实现子Agent(冲突)
  • 绝不不阅读任务要求就开始实现

Review Anti-Patterns

评审反模式

  • NEVER use sonnet for reviews (always opus for deep analysis)
  • NEVER aggregate before all 3 reviewers complete
  • NEVER skip re-review after fixes
  • 绝不使用sonnet进行评审(始终使用opus进行深度分析)
  • 绝不在3个评审员完成前汇总结果
  • 绝不修复后跳过重新评审

System Anti-Patterns

系统反模式

  • NEVER delete .loki/state/ directory while running
  • NEVER manually edit queue files without file locking
  • NEVER skip checkpoints before major operations
  • NEVER ignore circuit breaker states
  • 绝不在运行时删除.loki/state/目录
  • 绝不无文件锁手动编辑队列文件
  • 绝不在重大操作前跳过检查点
  • 绝不忽略断路器状态

Always Do These

必须做这些

  • ALWAYS launch all 3 reviewers in single message (3 Task calls)
  • ALWAYS specify model: "opus" for each reviewer
  • ALWAYS wait for all reviewers before aggregating
  • ALWAYS fix Critical/High/Medium immediately
  • ALWAYS re-run ALL 3 reviewers after fixes
  • ALWAYS checkpoint state before spawning subagents

  • 始终在单个消息中启动所有3个评审员(3个Task调用)
  • 始终为每个评审员指定模型:"opus"
  • 始终等待所有评审员完成后再汇总
  • 始终立即修复关键/高/中问题
  • 始终修复后重新运行所有3个评审员
  • 始终在生成子Agent前检查点状态

Multi-Tiered Fallback System

多层回退系统

Based on OpenAI Agent Safety Patterns:
基于OpenAI Agent安全模式:

Model-Level Fallbacks

模型级回退

opus -> sonnet -> haiku (if rate limited or unavailable)
opus -> sonnet -> haiku(如果速率受限或不可用)

Workflow-Level Fallbacks

工作流级回退

Full workflow fails -> Simplified workflow -> Decompose to subtasks -> Human escalation
完整工作流失败 -> 简化工作流 -> 分解为子任务 -> 人工升级

Human Escalation Triggers

人工升级触发条件

TriggerAction
retry_count > 3Pause and escalate

Constitutional AI Principles (Anthropic)

宪法式AI原则(Anthropic)

Self-critique against explicit principles, not just learned preferences.
对照明确的原则进行自我批判,而非仅基于学习到的偏好。

Loki Mode Constitution

Loki Mode宪法

yaml
core_principles:
  - "Never delete production data without explicit backup"
  - "Never commit secrets or credentials to version control"
  - "Never bypass quality gates for speed"
  - "Always verify tests pass before marking task complete"
  - "Never claim completion without running actual tests"
  - "Prefer simple solutions over clever ones"
  - "Document decisions, not just code"
  - "When unsure, reject action or flag for review"

Debate-Based Verification (DeepMind)

基于辩论的验证(DeepMind)

For critical changes, use structured debate between AI critics.
Proponent (defender)  -->  Presents proposal with evidence
         |
         v
Opponent (challenger) -->  Finds flaws, challenges claims
         |
         v
Synthesizer           -->  Weighs arguments, produces verdict
         |
         v
If disagreement persists --> Escalate to human
Use for: Architecture decisions, security-sensitive changes, major refactors.
See
references/lab-research-patterns.md
for debate verification details.

对于关键变更,使用AI批评者之间的结构化辩论。
支持者(辩护人)  -->  提出带证据的提案
         |
         v
反对者(挑战者) -->  发现缺陷,质疑主张
         |
         v
综合者           -->  权衡论点,产生 verdict
         |
         v
如果分歧持续 --> 升级到人工
用途: 架构决策、安全敏感变更、重大重构。

Production Patterns (HN 2025)

生产模式(HN 2025)

Battle-tested insights from practitioners building real systems.
来自构建真实系统的从业者的实战经验。

Narrow Scope Wins

窄范围获胜

yaml
task_constraints:
  max_steps_before_review: 3-5
  characteristics:
    - Specific, well-defined objectives
    - Pre-classified inputs
    - Deterministic success criteria
    - Verifiable outputs
yaml
task_constraints:
  max_steps_before_review: 3-5
  characteristics:
    - 具体、明确的目标
    - 预分类输入
    - 确定性成功标准
    - 可验证输出

Confidence-Based Routing

基于置信度的路由

confidence >= 0.95  -->  Auto-approve with audit log
confidence >= 0.70  -->  Quick human review
confidence >= 0.40  -->  Detailed human review
confidence < 0.40   -->  Escalate immediately
置信度 >= 0.95  -->  自动批准并记录审计日志
置信度 >= 0.70  -->  快速人工审查
置信度 >= 0.40  -->  详细人工审查
置信度 < 0.40   -->  立即升级

Deterministic Outer Loops

确定性外循环

Wrap agent outputs with rule-based validation (NOT LLM-judged):
1. Agent generates output
2. Run linter (deterministic)
3. Run tests (deterministic)
4. Check compilation (deterministic)
5. Only then: human or AI review
用基于规则的验证包裹Agent输出(而非LLM判断):
1. Agent生成输出
2. 运行代码检查器(确定性)
3. 运行测试(确定性)
4. 检查编译(确定性)
5. 然后才:人工或AI审查

Context Engineering

上下文工程

yaml
principles:
  - "Less is more" - focused beats comprehensive
  - Manual selection outperforms automatic RAG
  - Fresh conversations per major task
  - Remove outdated information aggressively

context_budget:
  target: "< 10k tokens for context"
  reserve: "90% for model reasoning"
yaml
principles:
  - "少即是多" - 聚焦优于全面
  - 手动选择优于自动RAG
  - 每个重大任务使用新对话
  - 主动删除过时信息

context_budget:
  target: "< 10k tokens for context"
  reserve: "90% for model reasoning"

Sub-Agents for Context Isolation

用于上下文隔离的子Agent

Use sub-agents to prevent token waste on noisy subtasks:
Main agent (focused) --> Sub-agent (file search)
                     --> Sub-agent (test running)
                     --> Sub-agent (linting)
See
references/production-patterns.md
for full practitioner patterns.

使用子Agent防止嘈杂子任务浪费令牌:
主Agent(聚焦) --> 子Agent(文件搜索)
                     --> 子Agent(运行测试)
                     --> 子Agent(代码检查)
