# Agent Activation - Phase 1 Complete ✅

**Date**: 2025-01-21
**Status**: Phase 1 (Core Agent Activation) - Complete
**Next Phase**: Phase 2 (VELOCITY Orchestrator Integration)

---

## ✅ Phase 1 Summary: Core Agent Activation (5 hours)

### What Was Implemented

**1. Agent Detection and Activation System** (`bin/activate-agent.ts`)
- **File**: `bin/activate-agent.ts` (456 lines) → Compiled to `bin/activate-agent.js`
- **Purpose**: Automatically detect which agent should handle a file based on patterns
- **Agent Coverage**: All 18 agents (8 core + 10 sub-agents)
- **Key Features**:
  - Pattern-based agent detection (e.g., `.test.ts` → Maria-QA, `.tsx` → James-Frontend)
  - Sub-agent routing (e.g., `.tsx` + React patterns → james-react)
  - RAG memory integration (queries patterns before activation)
  - Statusline feedback formatting (emoji + metrics)
  - CLI interface with `--help`, `--json`, `--trigger` options

**Agent Pattern Mapping**:
```typescript
'maria-qa': [/\.test\.(ts|js|tsx|jsx)$/, /\.spec\.(ts|js)$/, /__tests__\//]
'james-frontend': [/\.tsx$/, /\.jsx$/, /\.vue$/, /\.svelte$/, /components\//]
'marcus-backend': [/\.api\.(ts|js)$/, /routes\//, /controllers\//, /\/api\//]
'dana-database': [/\.sql$/, /migrations\//, /schema\./, /supabase\//]
'alex-ba': [/requirements\//, /\.feature$/, /user-stories\//]
'sarah-pm': [/CHANGELOG/, /RELEASE/, /milestones\//]
'dr-ai-ml': [/\.py$/, /\.ipynb$/, /models\//]
'oliver-onboarding': [/package\.json$/, /tsconfig\.json$/]
```

**Sub-Agent Patterns**:
```typescript
// Marcus Backend
'marcus-node': [/package\.json$/, /\.ts$/, /express/, /fastify/]
'marcus-python': [/\.py$/, /requirements\.txt$/, /fastapi/, /django/]
'marcus-rails': [/Gemfile$/, /\.rb$/, /rails/]
'marcus-go': [/\.go$/, /go\.mod$/]
'marcus-java': [/\.java$/, /pom\.xml$/, /spring/]

// James Frontend
'james-react': [/\.tsx$/, /\.jsx$/, /react/]
'james-vue': [/\.vue$/, /vue\.config/]
'james-nextjs': [/next\.config/, /app\//, /pages\//]
'james-angular': [/\.component\.ts$/, /angular\.json/]
'james-svelte': [/\.svelte$/, /svelte\.config/]
```

**2. Learning Codification System** (`bin/codify-learnings.ts`)
- **File**: `bin/codify-learnings.ts` (330 lines) → Compiled to `bin/codify-learnings.js`
- **Purpose**: Extract patterns from completed sessions and store to local + RAG
- **Key Features**:
  - Git-based session analysis (files changed, commits, branch)
  - Pattern extraction from code (RTL usage, accessibility, validation, error handling)
  - Dual storage: Local JSON files + RAG vector database
  - Search index updates (by category, agent, tag)
  - Effectiveness tracking (time saved per pattern)
  - CLI interface with `--auto`, `--branch`, `--session` options

**Pattern Detection Examples**:
- **Test Pattern**: Detects React Testing Library + accessible queries → "React Testing Library with accessible queries" (30 min saved)
- **Frontend Pattern**: Detects ARIA attributes + TypeScript → "Accessible React components with TypeScript" (20 min saved)
- **Backend Pattern**: Detects schema validation + error handling → "API validation with error handling" (25 min saved)

**3. Hook Integration Scripts**

**rag-update.sh** (`~/.versatil/bin/rag-update.sh`)
- **Purpose**: Trigger agent activation on file edit
- **Called By**: `afterFileEdit` hook
- **Actions**:
  1. Receives file path from hook
  2. Calls `activate-agent.js` with file path and trigger
  3. Runs in background (non-blocking)
  4. Logs to `~/.versatil/logs/hooks.log`
- **Execution**: Async (returns immediately)

**rag-codify.sh** (`~/.versatil/bin/rag-codify.sh`)
- **Purpose**: Trigger learning codification on session end
- **Called By**: `stop` hook
- **Actions**:
  1. Calls `codify-learnings.js` with `--auto` mode
  2. Extracts patterns from session
  3. Stores to local learning storage + RAG
  4. Updates search index
- **Execution**: Async (returns immediately)

## 🧪 Testing

### Manual Tests Performed
1. ✅ `activate-agent --help` - Shows usage information
2. ✅ TypeScript compilation - No errors
3. ✅ File permissions - Scripts are executable
4. ✅ Hook scripts - Exist and are executable

### Expected Behavior (After Phase 2)
```yaml
User_Action: "Edit LoginForm.test.tsx"

Hook_Sequence:
  1. afterFileEdit hook triggers
  2. ~/.versatil/hooks/afterFileEdit.sh executes
  3. Calls ~/.versatil/bin/rag-update.sh
  4. rag-update.sh calls activate-agent.js
  5. activate-agent.js:
     - Detects file pattern → maria-qa
     - Initializes EnhancedMaria agent
     - Queries RAG for test patterns
     - Activates agent with context
     - Returns feedback (JSON)
  6. Feedback logged to ~/.versatil/logs/hooks.log

Expected_Feedback:
  {
    "success": true,
    "agent": "maria-qa",
    "message": "🧪 Maria-QA ✅ │ coverage: 85% │ tests_passing: true",
    "metadata": {
      "confidence": 0.92,
      "suggestions": ["Add edge case for empty input"],
      "warnings": ["Missing test for error state"],
      "metrics": {
        "coverage": "85%",
        "tests_passing": true
      }
    }
  }
```

## 🔧 Known Limitations (To Be Fixed in Phase 2)

1. **Agent Activation Timeout**: Current implementation calls `agent.activate()` which may hang waiting for RAG query results. Need to:
   - Add timeout wrapper
   - Make RAG queries optional/cached
   - Return immediately if RAG is unavailable

2. **No VELOCITY Workflow Integration**: Agent activation is standalone, not connected to VELOCITY phases (PLAN/ASSESS/WORK/CODIFY). Phase 2 will:
   - Create `bin/velocity-cli.ts`
   - Connect hooks to workflow phases
   - Persist workflow state

3. **No Statusline Feedback Yet**: JSON feedback is logged but not displayed in Cursor statusline. Phase 4 will:
   - Return JSON metadata from hooks
   - Format for Cursor statusline display

4. **Pattern Extraction is Basic**: codify-learnings.ts uses regex-based pattern detection. Future improvements:
   - AST-based code analysis (using ts-morph or babel)
   - More sophisticated pattern matching
   - LLM-assisted pattern extraction

---

## 📊 Impact

### Before Phase 1
- ❌ Agent activation: Placeholder script (just logs, no action)
- ❌ Learning codification: Placeholder script (no pattern extraction)
- ❌ Hooks: Call placeholders, no real functionality

### After Phase 1
- ✅ Agent activation: Full agent instantiation + RAG query
- ✅ Learning codification: Pattern extraction + dual storage
- ✅ Hooks: Call real implementations (async, non-blocking)
- ✅ 18 agents: All core agents + sub-agents supported
- ✅ CLI tools: `activate-agent`, `codify-learnings` available globally (after npm install)

### Expected Compounding Effect (After Full Implementation)
- **First feature**: Manual coding (baseline time)
- **Second feature**: 20% faster (patterns from first feature retrieved)
- **Third feature**: 35% faster (patterns from two features)
- **Fourth feature**: 40% faster (compounding effect stabilizes)

**Example**:
- Feature 1 (auth): 8 hours → Patterns stored: React Testing Library, ARIA patterns, API validation
- Feature 2 (profile): 6.4 hours (20% faster) → Patterns reused + new patterns added
- Feature 3 (settings): 5.2 hours (35% faster) → Patterns from all previous features
- Feature 4 (dashboard): 4.8 hours (40% faster) → Full compounding effect

## 🚀 Next Steps: Phase 2 (VELOCITY Orchestrator Integration)

### Goals
1. Create `bin/velocity-cli.ts` - CLI interface to VelocityWorkflowOrchestrator
2. Implement workflow phase detection (PLAN/ASSESS/WORK/CODIFY)
3. Connect Cursor hooks to VELOCITY phases
4. Persist workflow state (~/.versatil/state/)
5. Enable multi-agent coordination through workflow

### Key Files to Create
- `bin/velocity-cli.ts` - CLI entry point
- `src/workflows/phase-detector.ts` - Auto-detect current phase
- `.claude/commands/plan.md` - Update to use orchestrator (not just TodoWrite)

### Key Files to Modify
- `~/.versatil/hooks/afterFileEdit.sh` - Trigger WORK phase update
- `~/.versatil/hooks/stop.sh` - Trigger CODIFY phase
- `~/.versatil/hooks/afterBuild.sh` - Trigger ASSESS phase (quality gates)

### Expected Outcome
After Phase 2, users will be able to:
```bash
# Plan feature with VELOCITY
/plan "Add user authentication"
# → VelocityWorkflowOrchestrator creates plan
# → State persisted to ~/.versatil/state/current-workflow.json
# → Todos created automatically

# Edit files (WORK phase auto-detected)
# → afterFileEdit hook detects WORK phase
# → Agent activates + progress tracked

# Build (ASSESS phase auto-triggered)
# → afterBuild hook runs quality gates
# → Coverage, security, performance validated

# Complete (CODIFY phase auto-triggered)
# → stop hook extracts learnings
# → Patterns stored for next feature
```

**Phase 1 Status**: ✅ Complete
**Phase 2 Status**: 🔄 In Progress (Next Task: Create `bin/velocity-cli.ts`)
**Total Progress**: 25% complete (5/20 hours)
**Estimated Completion**: Phase 2 end (11/20 hours, 55%)
