CleverAgents Implementation Plan

CRITICAL: Execute These Rules Without Exception

  • Strictly adhere to guidelines in ./CONTRIBUTING.md: All rules and guidelines outlined in this file must be strictly followed at all times.
  • Python implementation scope only: Every action described here pertains to building an idiomatic Python codebase that implements the CleverAgents architecture.
  • NO BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY: CleverAgents is a NEW standalone project. Do NOT maintain any backwards compatibility. No migration guides, no compatibility shims, no support for old configurations or data.
  • Living document protocol: After finishing each checklist item (and its testing sub-items), immediately append every decision, discovery, open question, or deviation to this document under the matching Notes section. This plan remains the authoritative record.
  • Single documentation surface: Do not create auxiliary notes elsewhere unless explicitly required. All architectural updates, troubleshooting outcomes, and contextual knowledge must flow back into this markdown file.
  • Sequential discipline: Always begin with the first unchecked item in the checklist. Do not progress until that item, its documentation update, and its testing sub-items (including any spawned remediation tasks) are fully resolved.
  • USE MODERN PYTHON TOOLING: This is a cutting-edge Python project that must use modern build tools and workflows. NO Makefiles, NO legacy approaches, NO helper scripts. Use Hatch exclusively for project management, nox for task automation, pyproject.toml for all configuration. Commands should be Python-native (e.g., hatch env create, nox -s test) not shell scripts or make targets. All tooling must be from the current Python ecosystem (2024+). When current tooling (such as "Behave" and "Robot Framework") can be used to solve a problem, use them rather than adding new tooling, keep it simple. NO wrapper scripts - use tools directly as designed.
  • Unit + integration + asv testing mandate: For every coding task, author or update must include asv (airspeed velocity) performance, unit and integration tests, run them, and achieve passing results before marking the task complete. Testing subtasks are non-optional.
  • Behavior-driven testing stack: Use Behave feature suites under features/ for unit-level and scenario tests and Robot Framework suites under robot/ for integration and end-to-end coverage. Keep both synchronized with the code under test and document all updates in this plan.
  • Do not use pytest style unit tests: Under no circumstances should you write pytest styled unit tests, all unit tests should be Behave based (as noted in the last bullet point), which follows the Cucumber/Gherkin style of tests as seen under features/, this is why there is intentionally no tests/ folder.
  • Test execution via nox: Run every unit, integration, Behave, Robot, and benchmark suite exclusively through the designated nox sessions (e.g., nox -s unit_tests, nox -s integration_tests). Do not invoke behave, robot, or similar runners directly; if a nox session is missing required tooling, add the dependency to the session before rerunning.
  • Failure capture: Any Behave or Robot failure instantly spawns a new unchecked sub-item under the same step titled Fix <short failure summary>. Document the failure context in the Notes section and resolve it before moving forward.
  • Traceability requirement: When a decision impacts future work, reference the relevant functions or modules in the Notes section using the file_path:line_number pattern for fast navigation.
  • unit tests coverage above 97% at all times: unit test coverage must remain above 97% at all times. Unit tests can be run with nox -e unit_tests and is run as part of the default test suite run with nox.
  • must be statically typed: All code at all times must use statically typed typing and must pass the static check run with nox -e typecheck which is run as part of the default test suite with nox. Under no circumstances at no point should you ignore type checking, this means never turn it off in the config files, and never use inline comments to force an type checking error to be suppressed.
  • Use existing tooling: Always prefer nox sessions over raw commands, Behave for unit tests over new frameworks, Robot for integration tests, Hatch for dependency management.
  • Mock placement rule: ALL mocks, test doubles, and mock implementations MUST exist only in features/ directory. Production code in src/ and utility scripts in scripts/ must NEVER contain mock implementations, test data, or conditional testing behavior. Use dependency injection to swap implementations during tests.
  • CRITICAL - Implementation Checklist Separation: The "Implementation Checklist" section MUST always remain separate and be the LAST section of this document. All development notes, design decisions, progress updates, technical details, and discoveries belong in their respective phase Notes sections (e.g., Phase 0 Notes, Phase 1 Notes, Phase 2 Notes) which appear BEFORE the Implementation Checklist. Never add content after the checklist section. The checklist is for tracking what needs to be done; the Notes sections are for documenting what was done and how.

CONTINUOUS CHECKLIST AND KNOWLEDGE STEWARDSHIP (MANDATORY)

  • Immediate documentation loop: After completing any amount of work toward a checklist item, append the newly discovered information, assumptions, implementation notes, and open questions to this document before proceeding. No discovery, decision, or workaround may remain undocumented.
  • Dynamic checklist maintenance: Before marking an item complete—or returning from work in progress—review all remaining checklist entries. Update their descriptions, add clarifying subtasks, and insert new entries capturing follow-on tasks, bug fixes, or future enhancements uncovered during implementation. Place new items in the phase where the work logically belongs (current or future) and note cross-phase dependencies.
  • Implementation traceability: Record substantive code decisions (design pattern choices, module ownership, testing strategy, risk mitigations) back into the corresponding Notes section and checklist subtasks immediately after each coding/testing session.
  • Checklist integrity: Never remove checklist items unless they are explicitly retired with documented reasoning. Mark completed work by checking the item(s) and append new tasks or restructuring bullets only when required—preserve original wording for historical traceability.
  • Enforcement: Treat omissions as blocking bugs—if the plan falls out of sync with reality, halt work, reconcile the discrepancy here, and only then continue.

CleverAgents Vision

CleverAgents is your command center for AI agents—a unified platform for orchestrating any task you want agents to accomplish, from developing large software projects to writing comprehensive technical papers, administering databases, managing cloud infrastructure, or any complex multi-step workflow. The core value proposition is enabling long-running, complex, large-scale tasks to execute autonomously with minimal human intervention, making it ideal for building entire software systems, producing extensive documentation, or managing sophisticated operations largely hands-off.

When connected to a CleverAgents server (developed independently), the client becomes a gateway to a collaborative hub where teams can share resources—prompts, actors, actions, and projects—while executing plans on the server. This enables a consistent experience across all your devices: start a complex task on your laptop, check progress from your phone, and review results from any machine. Note: The server is a separate project; this implementation plan covers the client only.

While CleverAgents leverages LangGraph and LangChain for the underlying LLM runtime primitives (tool calling, graphs, routing), its value lies in what it builds on top:

  • CleverAgents provides:

    • A first-class plan lifecycle (Action/Strategize/Execute/Apply) for breaking down and tracking complex work,
    • A project + resource model for grounding tasks in real codebases, databases, documents, and infrastructure,
    • A consistent actor abstraction for defining and composing intelligent agents,
    • A consistent skill abstraction for anything an agent can execute,
    • A sandbox + checkpoint safety model for safe, reversible execution,
    • A CLI/TUI/Web UX for controlling and monitoring large multi-step autonomous work.

Key Concepts

Concept Definition
Plan A tracked lifecycle for a single unit-of-work (which may spawn subplans). Phases: Action -> Strategize -> Execute -> Apply
Action A reusable plan template. Created via CLI commands (NOT YAML files).
Actor Anything conversational; may be a single agent/LLM or an entire graph. Defined via YAML configuration files. Always named <namespace>/<name>.
Project A collection of resources + configuration. Created via CLI commands (NOT YAML files).
Resource Anything that can be read/written/queried. Each resource defines its own sandbox strategy.
Skill A callable capability defined inline in actor YAML as tool nodes.
Namespace Scoping mechanism: local/, <username>/, <orgname>/, or provider namespaces (openai/, anthropic/).
Decision A recorded choice point made during Strategize that affects downstream work. Forms a tree enabling correction and replay.

Objectives and Guiding Principles

  • Ship a Python-based, feature-complete application named CleverAgents implementing the four-phase plan lifecycle with actors, projects, resources, and sandbox-based execution.
  • Implement functionality using Pythonic architecture: dependency inversion, strategy, adapter, observer, state, builder, factory, template method, event sourcing, and decorator patterns where appropriate.
  • Build a unified Python executable (agents) that operates as a client-only application, supporting stand-alone local-only mode or connecting to an independently developed server for multi-user deployments.
  • Enforce fail-fast error handling, rich logging, and comprehensive type coverage with docstrings and runtime validation aligned to Python best practices.
  • Provide a pluggable ORM abstraction supporting heavy (PostgreSQL/MySQL) and lightweight (SQLite/DuckDB/in-memory) backends, with zero-code configuration switches.
  • Generate fresh documentation via MkDocs (Material for MkDocs) integrated within the docs/ directory of the CleverAgents project.

Core Architectural Requirements

Scalability: The system must handle massive codebases (50,000+ files) through:

  • Three-tier memory architecture (hot/warm/cold)
  • Hierarchical task decomposition
  • Bounded dependency closures
  • Lazy resource sandboxing

Reliability: Prevent cascading failures through:

  • Complete execution isolation via sandboxes
  • Multi-layer semantic error prevention
  • Checkpoint-based rollback capabilities
  • Invariant enforcement throughout execution

Autonomy with Control: Progressive automation through:

  • Three-level automation system (manual, review-before-apply, full)
  • Decision correction without full re-execution
  • Confidence-based escalation
  • Semantic understanding of when human input is needed

Continuous Testing and Documentation Policy

  • Do not mark any parent checklist item complete until all subordinate Code, Document, Tests tasks and any generated Fix tasks are resolved and the associated Notes section has the latest context.
  • Every time new information appears, extend the corresponding Notes section immediately with explicit references to code locations and decisions.
  • Maintain a running catalog of Behave commands, Robot suites, fixtures, and environments in the Notes sections to assist subsequent contributors.
  • Expand the nested Code/Document/Tests sub-bullets with newly discovered tasks as implementation advances so the plan always mirrors ground truth.

Completion Criteria

The implementation concludes only when every checklist item and spawned remediation task is checked, all Notes sections contain final decisions and references, and the full Behave and Robot test suites (unit, integration, end-to-end, benchmarking, packaging, documentation) pass without outstanding failures.


Architecture Overview

Plan Lifecycle Phases

Action -> Strategize -> Execute -> Apply -> Applied (terminal)
Current Phase Command Verb Next Phase
(none) create Action
Action use Strategize
Strategize execute Execute
Execute apply Applied

Plan States (Per Phase)

Action phase states: available, draft, archived

Strategize / Execute / Apply phase states: queued, processing, errored, complete, cancelled

Key Architectural Components

Multi-tier Memory System:

  • Hot tier: Immediate working context in LLM context window
  • Warm tier: Recent decisions and contexts from current plan tree
  • Cold tier: Historical decisions from past plans, queryable but not in active memory
  • Context snapshots with cryptographic hashes preserve complete decision context

Dependency Closure Computation:

  • Resource-aware analysis during Strategize
  • Hierarchical scoping with explicit resource lists
  • Lazy expansion prevents closure explosion
  • Interface-based boundaries for modular changes

Execution Coordination:

  • Complete isolation via per-plan sandboxes
  • Resource-specific sandbox strategies (git worktrees, transactions, etc.)
  • Hierarchical merge resolution
  • Checkpoint-based coordination for rollback

Semantic Error Prevention:

  • Decision-time validation during Strategize
  • Execution-time semantic guards in actors
  • Invariant enforcement throughout
  • Pattern-based predictive error prevention

Namespace Rules

Namespace Scope Storage
local/ Current machine only Local database
<username>/ Personal server namespace Server database
<orgname>/ Organization namespace Server database
openai/, anthropic/, etc. Built-in LLM actors N/A (built-in)

Configuration Philosophy

  • Actions: Created via CLI commands (agents [--data-dir PATH] [--config-path PATH] action create --config <file> ...)
  • Projects: Created via CLI commands (agents [--data-dir PATH] [--config-path PATH] project create ...)
  • Actors: Defined via YAML configuration files (the ONLY YAML configuration)
  • Resources: Registered via agents resource add, then linked via agents project link-resource

Environment Variables for Testing

All environment variables needed during testing are stored in the .env file in the project root. This file contains API keys and tokens for various LLM providers and services. When implementing provider integrations or any features that require external services, use the environment variable names from this file or add new ones following the same pattern.

Current Environment Variables

Variable Name Service Usage
OPENROUTER_API_KEY OpenRouter Access to multiple LLM models through OpenRouter API
OPENAI_API_KEY OpenAI Direct access to OpenAI models (GPT-3.5, GPT-4, etc.)
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY Anthropic Access to Claude models
GOOGLE_API_KEY Google AI Access to Google's API for web searches
GEMINI_API_KEY Google Gemini Access to Google's Gemini models
HF_TOKEN Hugging Face Access to Hugging Face models and datasets

2026-02-06: CRITICAL ARCHITECTURAL DECISION - Tool-Based Resource Modification

  • REPLACED: OutputParser/code fence parsing approach
  • WITH: Tool-based change tracking (modern approach used by Claude Code, Cursor, Aider)
  • Key changes:
    • LLMs call skills/tools directly (edit_file, write_file, delete_file, etc.)
    • Skills operate on sandbox state directly
    • ChangeSet is built from skill invocation history, NOT by parsing LLM text output
  • Added built-in resource skills (now C4.file/C4.search/C4.git): file ops, dir ops, search, git ops
  • Added MCP skill adapter (now C7.mcp): connect to external MCP servers
    • Replaced C4 "Multi-File ChangeSet Generation" with "Tool-Based Change Tracking"
    • Added SkillInvocationTracker and ToolCallRouter components
  • Rationale:
    • No parsing ambiguity (is this code or explanation?)
    • Each operation is explicit, typed, and trackable
    • Supports rollback (replay inverse of recorded changes)
    • Resource-agnostic (works for files, databases, APIs, any resource type)
    • Compatible with MCP standard for external tools
  • See docs/specification.md sections:
    • "Tool-Based Resource Modification (Modern Architecture)"
    • "Unified Resource Abstraction Layer"
    • "MCP Integration Architecture"

Implementation Checklist

This comprehensive checklist tracks all implementation tasks for the CleverAgents project. Each phase item includes mandatory Code, Document, and Tests bullets. Only mark the parent complete when every sub-bullet (including any spawned Fix remediation tasks) is checked.

Organization: This checklist is organized to enable parallel development and achieve a minimally working version as quickly as possible. Workstreams are clearly marked. Dependencies between workstreams are noted at merge points.

Execute all required tests through the appropriate nox sessions—never call behave, robot, or other runners directly. After touching any subtask, immediately add discoveries to the Notes section and update task descriptions.

Updated Timeline Targets

Milestone Day Goal Success Criteria
M1: MVP Day 7 Create action → Use on project → Execute with sandbox → Apply changes (source code only) agents [--data-dir PATH] [--config-path PATH] action create --config + agents [--data-dir PATH] [--config-path PATH] plan use <action> <project> + agents [--data-dir PATH] [--config-path PATH] plan execute + agents [--data-dir PATH] [--config-path PATH] plan apply working end-to-end on a git repository with sandboxed execution
M2: Projects Day 10 Project/Resource CLI working with git worktree sandbox agents [--data-dir PATH] [--config-path PATH] project create + agents [--data-dir PATH] [--config-path PATH] resource add git-checkout + agents [--data-dir PATH] [--config-path PATH] project link-resource (B3.cli) + git worktree isolation verified
M3: Actors Day 14 Full plan lifecycle with actors, skills, multi-file generation Actor YAML parsed → LangGraph compiled → Skills executed → Multi-file ChangeSet produced → Validation passing → Applied
M4: Decisions Day 21 Decision recording, tree viewing, correction mechanism agents [--data-dir PATH] [--config-path PATH] plan tree shows decisions → agents [--data-dir PATH] [--config-path PATH] plan explain works → agents [--data-dir PATH] [--config-path PATH] plan correct --mode=revert re-executes from correction point
M4: Decisions Day 21 Invariant CLI usage agents [--data-dir PATH] [--config-path PATH] invariant add --project <project> "<text>" + agents [--data-dir PATH] [--config-path PATH] invariant list --project <project>
M5: Subplans Day 25 Hierarchical subplans with parallel execution and merging Parent plan spawns 5+ subplans → Parallel execution → Three-way merge → Validation passes
M6: Large Projects Day 30 Handle 10,000+ file projects, autonomous language porting Can port a 500-file Python module to TypeScript using hierarchical decomposition with decision correction
Server Connectivity Beyond Day 30 Client interfaces for server communication; server developed independently Client-to-server API abstractions defined, but local execution only; no server implementation in this project

CRITICAL: Server Connectivity Policy

The CleverAgents client does NOT include server functionality. The server is a separate project that will be developed independently. This implementation plan covers the client only. During Days 1-30, developers should:

  1. Design with Server Connectivity in Mind: Ensure abstractions support future connection to an external server
  2. Create Client Interface Stubs Only: Define ServerClientAPI, RemoteExecutionClient, AuthenticationClient interfaces but implement as stubs that raise NotImplementedError("Server connectivity not yet implemented")
  3. No Server Implementation Work: The server is NOT part of this project—do NOT spend time on server implementation, only on client-side connection interfaces
  4. Focus on Core Functionality: All effort goes to plan lifecycle, actors, skills, sandboxing, decisions, and subplans

The following Section 8 (Server Connectivity) items are explicitly OUT OF SCOPE for the 30-day deadline:

  • Client-to-server API integration
  • WebSocket streaming to server
  • Remote project execution via server
  • Server authentication flow (client-side)
  • Server API client implementation (beyond stubs)

Rationale: Getting a minimally usable application working for single-user local operation in 7 days, and large project autonomy in 30 days, is more valuable than incomplete server connectivity. The server will be developed as a separate project.

Critical Path Analysis

The following chains represent sequential dependencies where each item MUST complete before the next can start:

CHAIN 1: Data Layer (Days 1-3)

A5.alpha (DB migrations) → A5.beta (ORM models) → A5.gamma (repos/service/DI)

CHAIN 2: Resource Layer (Days 2-4)

B1.core (Domain Models) → B2.persistence (DB tables) → B2.service (Services) → B3.cli (CLI)

CHAIN 3: Sandbox Layer (Days 3-5)

B4.sandbox (Strategy + Manager) → B4.sandbox git_worktree → B4.sandbox copy_on_write

CHAIN 4: Actor Layer (Days 4-7)

C1.schema (Actor Schema) → C2.loader (Actor Loader) → C2.compiler (Actor Compiler) → C2.refs (Reference Resolution)

CHAIN 5: Skill Layer (Days 5-8)

C3.protocol (Skill Protocol) → C3.context (Skill Context) → C3.inline (Inline Executor) → C4.file/C4.search/C4.git (Built-in Skills)

CHAIN 6: Change Tracking (Days 6-9)

C5.model (Change Models) → C5.router (Tool Router) → C5.diff (Diff Generator)

CHAIN 7: Plan-Actor Integration (Days 8-14)

C9.execute (Strategize/Execute) → C6.pipeline/C6.gating (Validation) → C9.apply (Apply + Review)

Section 0: Quality Automation Setup [WORKSTREAM Q - Brent Lead]

Target: Days 0-3 (Minimum gates before merges; advanced gates after M1)

Parallelization rules:

  • Minimum gating (pre-commit + CI + coverage enforcement) is a merge blocker; it can run in parallel with Week 1 coding but must land before any feature branches merge.
  • Advanced automation (complexity metrics, dashboards, extended security scanning) is deferred until after M1 to avoid blocking the MVP.

Technical Criteria:

  • Projects with 10,000+ files index without timeout.
  • Context window management works (hot/warm/cold tiers).
  • Hierarchical decomposition creates 4+ levels of subplans.
  • Decision correction at any level recomputes only affected subtree.
  • Parallel execution scales to 10+ concurrent subplans.
  • Memory usage stays bounded (lazy context loading).
  • A realistic porting task (500 file Python → TypeScript) completes autonomously.

M6 SUCCESS CRITERIA (Day 30):

  • 10,000+ file project indexes with bounded memory and hot/warm/cold tiering.
  • Hierarchical decomposition reaches 4+ levels with correction limited to affected subtree.
  • Parallel execution scales to 10+ subplans with merge and conflict handling.
  • Autonomous porting task completes with validation and review gates.
  • nox passes with coverage >=97% including large-project suites.

SERVER CONNECTIVITY DEFERRAL NOTICE

Server connectivity (WORKSTREAM F) is deferred beyond the 30-day timeline. The server is a separate project—this implementation covers the client only.

The CleverAgents executable (agents) is purely a client application that can:

  1. Run in stand-alone local-only mode (no server required)
  2. Connect to an independently developed CleverAgents server for multi-user/collaborative features

During Days 1-30, client stub infrastructure is delivered via Section 9 (F0.stubs), covering the connect command, client interfaces, local/remote detection, and NotImplementedError stubs.

What is NOT needed by Day 30:

  • Server implementation (the server is a separate project)
  • Full client-server API implementation
  • WebSocket client implementation
  • Remote plan execution requests
  • Authentication flow with server
  • Permission system integration

The client code should be structured so that adding server connectivity later is straightforward, but no functional server communication code is required for the 30-day milestone. The server will be developed as a separate project.
