ccw-loop-b（逆时针循环 b）

CCW Loop-B - Hybrid Orchestrator Pattern

协调器 + 专用 worker 的迭代开发工作流。支持三种执行模式（Interactive / Auto / Parallel），每个 action 由独立 worker agent 执行，协调器负责调度、状态管理和结果汇聚。

Architecture Overview

Subagent API

Key Design Principles

1. 协调器保持轻量: 只做调度和状态管理，具体工作交给 worker
2. Worker 职责单一: 每个 worker 专注一个领域（develop/debug/validate）
3. 角色路径传递: Worker 自己读取角色文件，主流程不传递内容
4. 延迟 close_agent: 确认不再需要交互后才关闭 worker
5. 两阶段工作流: 复杂任务先澄清后执行，减少返工
6. 批量等待优化: 并行模式用 wait({ids: [...]}) 批量等待
7. 结果标准化: Worker 输出遵循统一 WORKER_RESULT 格式
8. 灵活模式切换: 根据任务复杂度选择 interactive/auto/parallel

Arguments

Execution Modes

Mode: Interactive (default)

协调器展示菜单，用户选择 action，spawn 对应 worker 执行。

Coordinator -> Show menu -> User selects -> spawn worker -> wait -> Display result -> Loop

Mode: Auto

自动按预设顺序执行，worker 完成后协调器决定下一步。

Init -> Develop -> [if issues] Debug -> Validate -> [if fail] Loop back -> Complete

Mode: Parallel

并行 spawn 多个 worker，batch wait 汇聚结果，协调器综合决策。

Coordinator -> spawn [develop, debug, validate] in parallel -> wait({ ids: all }) -> Merge -> Decide

Execution Flow

Input Parsing:
   └─ Parse arguments (TASK | --loop-id + --mode)
   └─ Convert to structured context (loopId, state, mode)

Phase 1: Session Initialization
   └─ Ref: phases/01-session-init.md
      ├─ Create new loop OR resume existing loop
      ├─ Initialize state file and directory structure
      └─ Output: loopId, state, progressDir, mode

Phase 2: Orchestration Loop
   └─ Ref: phases/02-orchestration-loop.md
      ├─ Mode dispatch: interactive / auto / parallel
      ├─ Worker spawn with structured prompt (Goal/Scope/Context/Deliverables)
      ├─ Wait + timeout handling + result parsing
      ├─ State update per iteration
      └─ close_agent on loop exit

State Management

Master state file: {projectRoot}/.workflow/.loop/{loopId}.json

{
  "loop_id": "loop-b-20260122-abc123",
  "title": "Task title",
  "description": "Full task description",
  "mode": "interactive | auto | parallel",
  "status": "running | paused | completed | failed",
  "current_iteration": 0,
  "max_iterations": 10,
  "created_at": "ISO8601",
  "updated_at": "ISO8601",

  "skill_state": {
    "phase": "init | develop | debug | validate | complete",
    "action_index": 0,
    "workers_completed": [],
    "parallel_results": null,
    "pending_tasks": [],
    "completed_tasks": [],
    "findings": []
  }
}

Control Signal Checking: 协调器在每次 spawn worker 前检查 state.status:

• running → continue
• paused → exit gracefully, wait for resume
• failed → terminate

Recovery: If state corrupted, rebuild from .progress/ markdown files and .workers/*.output.json.

Worker Prompt Protocol

Spawn Message Structure (§7.1)

function buildWorkerPrompt(action, loopId, state) {
  return `
## TASK ASSIGNMENT

### MANDATORY FIRST STEPS (Agent Execute)
1. **Read role definition**: ~/.codex/agents/ccw-loop-b-${action}.md (MUST read first)
2. Read: ${projectRoot}/.workflow/project-tech.json
3. Read: ${projectRoot}/.workflow/project-guidelines.json

---

Goal: ${goalForAction(action, state)}

Scope:
- 可做: ${allowedScope(action)}
- 不可做: ${forbiddenScope(action)}
- 目录限制: ${directoryScope(action, state)}

Context:
- Loop ID: ${loopId}
- State: ${projectRoot}/.workflow/.loop/${loopId}.json
- Output: ${projectRoot}/.workflow/.loop/${loopId}.workers/${action}.output.json
- Progress: ${projectRoot}/.workflow/.loop/${loopId}.progress/${action}.md

Deliverables:
- 按 WORKER_RESULT 格式输出
- 写入 output.json 和 progress.md

Quality bar:
- ${qualityCriteria(action)}
`
}

关键: 角色文件由 worker 自己读取，主流程只传递路径。不嵌入角色内容。

Worker Output Format (WORKER_RESULT)

WORKER_RESULT:
- action: {action_name}
- status: success | failed | needs_input
- summary: <brief summary>
- files_changed: [list]
- next_suggestion: <suggested next action>
- loop_back_to: <action name if needs loop back, or null>

DETAILED_OUTPUT:
<action-specific structured output>

Two-Phase Clarification (§5.2)

Worker 遇到模糊需求时采用两阶段模式:

阶段 1: Worker 输出 CLARIFICATION_NEEDED + Open questions
阶段 2: 协调器收集用户回答 → send_input → Worker 继续执行

// 解析 worker 是否需要澄清
if (output.includes('CLARIFICATION_NEEDED')) {
  const userAnswers = await collectUserAnswers(output)
  send_input({
    id: workerId,
    message: `## CLARIFICATION ANSWERS\n${userAnswers}\n\n## CONTINUE EXECUTION`
  })
  const finalResult = wait({ ids: [workerId], timeout_ms: 600000 })
}

Parallel Split Strategy (§6)

Strategy 1: 按职责域拆分（推荐）

Strategy 2: 按模块域拆分

Worker 1: src/auth/**     → 认证模块变更
Worker 2: src/api/**      → API 层变更
Worker 3: src/database/** → 数据层变更

拆分原则

1. 文件隔离: 避免多个 worker 同时修改同一文件
2. 职责单一: 每个 worker 只做一件事
3. 边界清晰: 超出范围用 CLARIFICATION_NEEDED 请求确认
4. 最小上下文: 只传递完成任务所需的最小信息

Result Merge (Parallel Mode)

function mergeWorkerOutputs(outputs) {
  return {
    develop: parseWorkerResult(outputs.develop),
    debug: parseWorkerResult(outputs.debug),
    validate: parseWorkerResult(outputs.validate),
    conflicts: detectConflicts(outputs),  // 检查 worker 间建议冲突
    merged_at: getUtc8ISOString()
  }
}

冲突检测: 当多个 worker 建议修改同一文件时，协调器标记冲突，由用户决定。

TodoWrite Pattern

Phase-Level Tracking (Attached)

[
  {"content": "Phase 1: Session Initialization", "status": "completed"},
  {"content": "Phase 2: Orchestration Loop (auto mode)", "status": "in_progress"},
  {"content": "  → Worker: init", "status": "completed"},
  {"content": "  → Worker: develop (task 2/5)", "status": "in_progress"},
  {"content": "  → Worker: validate", "status": "pending"},
  {"content": "  → Worker: complete", "status": "pending"}
]

Parallel Mode Tracking

[
  {"content": "Phase 1: Session Initialization", "status": "completed"},
  {"content": "Phase 2: Parallel Analysis", "status": "in_progress"},
  {"content": "  → Worker: develop (parallel)", "status": "in_progress"},
  {"content": "  → Worker: debug (parallel)", "status": "in_progress"},
  {"content": "  → Worker: validate (parallel)", "status": "in_progress"},
  {"content": "  → Merge results", "status": "pending"}
]

Core Rules

1. Start Immediately: First action is TodoWrite initialization, then Phase 1 execution
2. Progressive Phase Loading: Read phase docs ONLY when that phase is about to execute
3. Parse Every Output: Extract WORKER_RESULT from worker output for next decision
4. Worker 生命周期: spawn → wait → [send_input if needed] → close，不长期保留 worker
5. 结果持久化: Worker 输出写入 {projectRoot}/.workflow/.loop/{loopId}.workers/
6. 状态同步: 每次 worker 完成后更新 master state
7. 超时处理: send_input 请求收敛，再超时则使用已有结果继续
8. DO NOT STOP: Continuous execution until completed, paused, or max iterations

Error Handling

Coordinator Checklist

Before Each Phase

• Read phase reference document
• Check current state and control signals
• Update TodoWrite with phase tasks

After Each Worker

• Parse WORKER_RESULT from output
• Persist output to .workers/{action}.output.json
• Update master state file
• close_agent (确认不再需要交互)
• Determine next action (continue / loop back / complete)
