feat(skills,console): uncap the interview, make the PRD the interface, give the console its own voice - #588
Conversation
…ned in place Closes #578. The agent was budgeted to ONE interview, written into three skills as an invariant: `/start` "asks exactly once", grilling's "asking again never is", amend's "one form". That forced both failures the wayfinder map is removing — the agent interviews to exhaustion before producing anything, and skipping is surrender rather than deferral. The cap is gone. The replacement is the ORDERING, not another budget: ask the spine (actors, the shape of the journey), write the whole PRD, then ask the next round in the same turn with the flagged decisions as its agenda. Every round after the first reacts to something concrete, which is what makes unlimited rounds safe — without an early document they would be strictly worse than the single form they replace. - `start`: reordered to ask → write → keep asking; "Where this stops" now distinguishes the artifact boundary (no design here) from the conversation's end (converge, don't stop because the file exists). - `grilling`: restated as a mechanics library that is NEVER an entry point — it owns the question tools and has no artifact contract, so fired directly it produces well-formed questions with nowhere to put the answers. Carries the round rules, and the assumption-vs-open-question test. - `amend`: same single rule, and it costs less there — a PRD already exists, so every question can point at the line it would change. - `design`: may ask at design altitude (the walkthrough covers requirements AND design); `grilling` inlined on design turns to match. The open-questions gate is untouched — that is #579. - Console: the skip valve becomes "Use recommended answers" with a caption saying what it does, and its instruction text asks the agent to decide and flag rather than to stop interviewing. - Console: the header's requirements-gated launchers and Generate design stand down while a question form is open. The PRD arriving early made that state routine, and firing `/amend` there supersedes the live questions. Contract changes: none. Nothing in services/agents counts rounds or forms per conversation — the turn simply ends at each question call and resumes on the answer. Proof: four real runs of the requirements eval (real agents service, real skills, sim user). Shape before: 2 turns, one form, PRD written last. After: 3 turns — spine → PRD written AND next round asked in the same turn → PRD refined in place with editFile. Slack notifications, assumed away and failed by the judge before, are captured by that second round. Sheet committed under eval-reviews/. New tests pin the mechanism: the manifest of an awaiting-human turn carries the file written before the question, and the console form's exit never tells the agent to stop interviewing. Known and deliberately left: with the cap gone, convergence is the only remaining brake and this issue removes the brake without replacing it — the fog the map named. The question form still covers the spec body, so a second round hides the PRD it is asking about; that surface is #579's. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…r the round rules A pass with `writing-great-skills` over the five skills #578 touched. The change had grown `start` 127→177 lines and `grilling` 56→99, and the growth was mostly the same meaning written four times. **Duplication.** `grilling` declares itself the owner of the round rules, and then `start`, `amend` and `design` each restated them anyway — "no cap on rounds" lived in all four files, "only ask what changes the artifact" in three. Every caller now points at `grilling` instead of paraphrasing it. Safe as a disclosure because the pointer always resolves: `FLOW_SUPPORTING_SKILLS` inlines `grilling`'s body into every start/amend/design turn, so this is not a lazy pointer that might not fire. - `start` loses the restated cap, the duplicated "bar, not the budget" bullet, and its whole recommended-answers section (`grilling` § Ending the interview already carries it). What survives is what only `start` knows: the order, and that an unanswered form stays live. - `amend` and `design` lose their copies of the cap; each keeps only its own rule (a document already exists to ask against; ask at design altitude). **Completion criterion.** "Converge when the flags left are ones you would not rewrite the document over" was near-circular. Now: every remaining flag would change nothing but its own line if overturned — the same blast-radius test step 3 orders questions by, run to decide you are done. **Description.** `grilling`'s was identity the body already states; it is now the trigger ("Use when a flow skill sends you to interview the user"). **One negation stays, deliberately.** Rewriting *"writing is not converging — do not end a turn on a document whose assumptions nobody has seen"* as a purely positive statement regressed the behaviour outright: the eval dropped from 3 turns to 2, losing the second round entirely. Restored as a bound paired with the positive, per the skill's own guardrail exception. 75/100, the best run yet, and the shape holds: ask → (write + ask) → refine in place. Skills text only; no code, no contract change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The agent talked to a console user as if they were standing in a terminal inside the repo — quoting `specs/design/` and telling them to run `/design` while a **Generate design** button sat on screen. It was obeying instructions: three flow skills mandate a path pointer, and the system prompt licensed per-flow narration outright. The right vocabulary belongs to the SURFACE, not to the skill. `design.cell` is exactly the right word for someone with a terminal open, so nothing is stripped from the shared trunk: the difference rides one skill, and the caller says which surface its turn will be read on. - `skills/console/SKILL.md` — the four rules, the artifact-name table pinned from the lexicon, and the three closings written out as worked examples. - `TurnRequest.surface` — the one turn property that cannot be derived: it is who is asking, not what is being asked for. `aep-api` sends "console" at both dispatch sites; a playground run sends nothing and its prompt is unchanged. - `buildNarrationBlock` inlines the surface's skill as `# Narration policy`, on the `organization` precedent — an agent that has to remember to load its narration rules will forget one and quote a path. Never catalogued. - Precedence is stated twice, because the conflict is in a different message: the meta-rule now yields to a standing policy, and the eager-skills block repeats the override beside the flow bodies that argue with it. - `start` loses its "review prd.md, then run /design" close: it named a command the console offers as a button. `design` and `architecture` keep their pointers, overridden on the console. - The chat empty state stops inviting the user to start what already started — since #522 it is only reachable after **New conversation**. Closes #580 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Both are #578 follow-ups found in review: the interview is now unbounded, so a question form stands for longer and the ways to walk over one matter more. **The Actions menu bypassed the gate SpecView added.** `+ Feature`, `+ Actor`, `Resolve open questions` and `Start next phase` sent on `inputDisabled` alone, while `SpecView` hides or disables its copies of the same launchers whenever answers are owed. Any delivered user message supersedes a live form for the WHOLE room, so one menu click closed everyone's questions and left the agent to assume what the user was halfway through deciding. The panel already computed the condition — it only reached the composer hint. The composer itself stays open: a typed reply IS an answer (ADR-0012), which is why superseding via prose is deliberate and superseding via a scoped flow is not. **"Use recommended answers" discarded answers already given.** It seeded "use your recommended answers for these questions" for every question and never read `entry.answers`. Under the old "Skip questions" label that was defensible; the new caption invites partial use, so a user who answered three of five got all five assumed — three real decisions overwritten by guesses and flagged `*assumed*`, which reads as the agent's invention rather than the user's lost answer. It now sends what the room decided, serialized exactly as Continue would, and hands back only what remains — the bound the `grilling` skill already states: "every REMAINING decision". Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Every scoped command changed a specific place in the PRD, and none of them was offered at that place: `Actions ▾` parked them in the chat composer as raw slash commands, so the user had to know the menu existed, know which item mapped to what they wanted, and supply the subject from memory. The launchers move onto the document. Each PRD section carries the command that belongs there — `/actor` on Actors, `/feature` on the story list, `/expand` on each story, `/settle` over Open Questions — and every flagged line offers its own `/settle`, carrying the line itself as the subject. Section lenses show at rest, since that is how a command is discovered at all; line lenses wait for the pointer, so a twenty-story list carries three visible controls rather than twenty-three. All of them go inert, saying which, while an agent holds the turn. The lenses anchor to the LIVE collaborative document rather than a parsed markdown snapshot: the user types into this fragment and the agent streams into it at the same time, so a line number from a committed file points at the wrong line within a keystroke. `countBlockingOpenQuestions` is repurposed from count to locate, as a ProseMirror decoration plugin over the doc. Open questions now gate nothing, on both sides — the console's disable and the clauses in `design`, `start` and `prd-contract`. A recorded gap is information, not corruption, which is the reasoning that already settled dependencies in #526; `deferred` survives with a better job, as the user's "stop asking" now that an uncapped interview can raise the same question every round. A Build gate reading the same regex was rejected: it moves the bad mechanism downstream rather than removing it. A command names the user's intent and resolves to a skill in the one place that holds wording. `amend` did not need renaming — it needed to stop being what a user reads — so `/feature`, `/actor` and `/expand` reach it carrying their branch, while `/settle` is its own skill because revision propagates, and propagation is the opposite of the byte-identical promise the scoped-edit skill makes to its siblings. Closes #579. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The spec list is sorted by path alone, so `specs/requirements/features/…` sorts ABOVE `specs/requirements/prd.md` and the document the whole flow is written against sits below its own footnotes. Everything else under Requirements elaborates the PRD — a feature file is depth on a story the PRD defines — so it leads its group and the rest keeps path order behind it. Latent until now, and no longer: #579 gave `/expand` a lens on every story, which is what makes a project grow feature files as a matter of course. `PRD_PATH` moves to `api/mapping.ts`, which owns the path scheme — two surfaces recognise the file now, the list that pins it and the editor that carries its code lenses. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Depth lives in `specs/requirements/features/<slug>.md` and the PRD body stays lean, so the document is full of pointers to files sitting two rows away in the same rail — and following one was not possible. The shared schema parses a markdown link as an EXTERNAL one, `target="_blank"` and all, which is wrong twice over: inside the editor a plain click only places a caret, and a click that did follow the href would leave the console for a path it does not serve. A reference that resolves to a file the project HAS is now styled as a link and selects that file in the spec view. One naming a document nobody has written yet stays plain text — a control that selects nothing is worse than prose — and comes alive the moment the agent writes it. External links keep the editor's own default. Resolution accepts what the agent actually writes: relative to the document (`features/receipts.md`), repo-rooted (`specs/requirements/…`, which the spec-paths rule pushes it toward), and back out of a feature doc to its PRD. It carries every markdown spec editor rather than the PRD's alone, since that last journey is the same one in reverse. The other half is the contract: nothing told the agent to write the reference at all, so `prd-contract` now requires the link on the story it deepens, with the feature's NAME as its text rather than the path — the console renders this document, and it opens the file in place.

Five findings from a review of the branch. The first makes #578's sibling feature not work at all in a browser. **A spec link opened a new tab instead of the file.** `StarterKit` bundles `@tiptap/extension-link` at priority 1000 with `openOnClick`, and it registers a `handleClick` of its own. ProseMirror gives the click to the FIRST plugin that claims it, and plugin order follows priority — so Link ran first, called `window.open(href, "_blank")` and returned true, and `SpecLinks.handleClick` was never reached. Clicking `[Receipt capture](features/receipts.md)` left the console for a path it does not serve: exactly the failure the module header says it prevents. `SpecLinks` now declares `priority: 1001`, which puts the ordering in the extension that depends on it rather than in each editor's StarterKit options, where a second editor could forget it. `specLinkPlugin.test.ts` could not see this. `clickOn()` built a `new MouseEvent(...)` it never dispatched, so `event.target` was null and Link's handler bailed at its own `if (!target)` guard before the ordering mattered. The click now carries the real anchor; drop the priority back to 999 and three tests fail. **The click read the marks at the position, not the anchor.** The Link mark is inclusive, so a position at the end of a story line reports the link that line ends with — and `prd-contract` puts the feature reference exactly there, so clicking the blank space right of a story navigated away. It now takes the anchor under the pointer (`closest("a")`) and ignores non-primary buttons, as Tiptap's own handler does. Latent behind the first finding; live the moment it was fixed. **An unwritten reference opened a bogus tab too.** A link to a feature doc nobody has written yet reads as plain text, but Link still had the click. Those are now swallowed — inert, as they render. `isExternalHref` draws the line `resolveSpecHref` erases: it answers null both for `https://wso2.com` and for a repo path that does not resolve, and only the first should keep the editor's default. **"Use recommended answers" with everything answered asked for nothing.** The button stays live once every question has an answer; `remaining` was then empty but the else branch still ran, sending "Decide the rest yourself … flag each one as assumed" with nothing after the colon — an invitation to invent decisions and tag them `*assumed*`. It behaves as Continue instead. **Two smaller ones.** `SECTION_LENSES[section]` indexed a plain object with normalised heading text, so a heading reading "Constructor" or "toString" returned a function and spread into a lens with no command — a pill labelled `undefined`; guarded with `Object.hasOwn`, as `COMMAND_FLOWS` already is. And `ChatInput`'s `actions` slot lost its only caller when #579 removed the `Actions ▾` menu, so it goes, per the dead-code gate. Verified: `make typecheck`, `test`, `lint`, `license-check` and `deadcode-ts-check` all green; console spec + agent-chat suites 400 tests pass.

Exercise the interview beyond the former limit.
Add an evaluation case that forces later rounds and checks continued prd.md refinement. The current three-turn run and interview finished within cap check can pass without testing behavior beyond the former limit. If this file is generated output, update the source scenario or evaluator.

**The + Feature launcher fired into a running turn.** It gated on `hasRequirementsFiles && !awaitingAnswers` while `Generate design` beside it also gates on `agentBusy` — and the difference matters, because a seeded command does not go through the composer. `seedChat` writes the pending-seed slot and `AgentChatPanel`'s effect calls `sendRef.current(seed)` as soon as the conversation is ready, with none of `submit`'s `inputDisabled` guard. So a click mid-turn delivered `/feature` where a typed message would have been refused — the same class of hole #578 closed for the Actions menu, left open on the one launcher that is not on the document. Now disabled with a tooltip, matching its neighbour; drop the guard and the new test fails. **Committed eval sheets carried absolute paths.** The review sheet is the human verdict record for a run, so `/home/<user>/workspace/…` baked the machine and account that happened to run the eval into the repository and read as a dead link on anyone else's checkout. `renderReviewSheet` now relativizes against `REPO_ROOT`, keeping an absolute path only when the artifact genuinely sits outside the tree. Applied to the sheets already committed, not just the one this branch added — the leak is the same in all of them. **`surface` was described as not being a property of the request.** The table directly above defines `TurnRequest.surface` as the wire field, so the sentence read as a contradiction. It now says what it meant: nothing in `TurnSpec` implies it, so it rides as caller context rather than being derived. Not taken: the fourth finding asks for an eval case that "forces later rounds", on the grounds that the three-turn run could pass without exercising behaviour beyond the former limit. The premise does not hold — the former limit was ONE round, and the committed run is spine → PRD+round-2 → refine-in-place, which is already past it. The check it cites, `interview finished within cap`, is the harness's 10-turn runaway backstop (#354), not the interview budget this branch removed. There IS a real gap behind the finding: no assertion pins the round count, so a regression to one round is caught only by a human reading the transcript, as it was during the prune. That belongs with the convergence work #521 leaves as fog, not bolted on here. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ments-428 Five source conflicts this time, not generated files — main's #580 (turn `surface` / narration policy) and #588 (create-flow copy) landed in the same interfaces, literals and components this branch extends. Resolved by intent rather than by hunk: - `sse-events.ts` / `turn_runner.go` / `server.ts` — both sides are purely additive. `TurnRequest` carries `surface` AND `attachments`; the dispatch literal sets both; the agents route keeps both parse blocks and both guards. Neither feature has any bearing on the other. - `ChatInput.tsx` — main REMOVED the `actions` launcher slot, so the prop, its `ReactNode` import and the JSX slot go with it. Every attachment concern is kept. - `AgentChatPanel.tsx` — main removed the Actions menu (#372) entirely, which takes `runAction` with it. The attachment wiring that lived there is therefore dropped, not ported: `submit` is now the only path out of the composer, and it already carries the attachments. The composer's own state, its clear-on-accepted-send and the rotation clear all survive. Verified on the merged tree with the commands CI runs: console 1008, agents 317, agent-stream 102, aep-api internal/spec green; make typecheck 35/35, make lint (eslint + three golangci-lint modules, 0 issues), both dead-code gates, gen-api no drift.
Three issues off the requirements-flow map (#521), in the order they depend on each other: the interview stops being budgeted, the PRD it produces becomes the surface the next command is launched from, and the agent stops describing either one in terminal vocabulary.
Closes #578. Closes #579. Closes #580.
#578 — uncap the interview; the PRD arrives early and is refined in place
The agent was budgeted to one interview, written into three skills as an invariant:
/start"asks exactly once",grilling's "asking again never is",amend's "one form". That forced both failures the map is removing — the agent interviews to exhaustion before producing anything, and skipping is surrender rather than deferral.The cap is gone, and the replacement is the ordering, not another budget: ask the spine (actors, the shape of the journey), write the whole PRD, then ask the next round in the same turn with the flagged assumptions as its agenda. Every round after the first reacts to something concrete — which is what makes unlimited rounds safe. Without an early document they would be strictly worse than the single form they replace.
grillingis restated as a mechanics library that is never an entry point: it owns the question tools and has no artifact contract, so fired directly it produces well-formed questions with nowhere to put the answers. It carries the round rules and the assumption-vs-open-question test as their single source of truth;start,amendanddesignpoint at it instead of paraphrasing.Contract changes: none, as the issue predicted. Confirmed by grep — nothing in
services/agentscounts rounds or forms per conversation; the turn simply ends at each question call and resumes on the answer.#579 — the PRD is the interface: code lenses in, the gate out
Every scoped command changed a specific place in the PRD, and none was offered at that place —
Actions ▾parked them in the composer as raw slash commands. The launchers move onto the document:/actoron Actors,/featureon the story list,/expandon each story,/settleover Open Questions, and/settleon every flagged line carrying that line as its subject. Section lenses show at rest; line lenses wait for the pointer, so a twenty-story list carries three visible controls rather than twenty-three.They anchor to the live collaborative document, not a parsed markdown snapshot — the user types into this fragment while the agent streams into it, so a line number from a committed file points at the wrong line within a keystroke.
countBlockingOpenQuestionsis repurposed from count to locate, as a ProseMirror decoration plugin.Open questions now gate nothing, on both sides — the console's disable and the clauses in
design,startandprd-contract. A recorded gap is information, not corruption.deferredsurvives with a better job: the user's "stop asking", now that an uncapped interview can raise the same question every round.#580 — a console skill carries the console's narration rules
The agent talked to a console user as if they were standing in a terminal inside the repo — quoting
specs/design/and telling them to run/designwhile a Generate design button sat on screen. The right vocabulary belongs to the surface, not to the skill:design.cellis exactly right for someone with a terminal open, so nothing is stripped from the shared trunk.TurnRequest.surfaceis the one turn property that cannot be derived — it is who is asking, not what is being asked for — andbuildNarrationBlockinlines the surface's skill as# Narration policy, on theorganizationprecedent.Follow-ups already folded in
72c65347— two doors the uncapped interview left open, found in review. TheActions ▾menu bypassed the gateSpecViewadded (any delivered message supersedes a live form for the whole room, so one menu click closed everyone's questions); and "Use recommended answers" discarded answers already given, sending all five as assumed when the user had answered three. The first of those is now moot by a better route — The PRD is the interface: code lenses in, Actions ▾ and the open-questions gate out #579 removed theActions ▾menu outright, moving its launchers onto the document, andAgentChatPanel.test.tsxpins that it is gone.c8c10e86—specs/requirements/features/…sorts abovespecs/requirements/prd.md, so the document the flow is written against sat below its own footnotes. Latent until The PRD is the interface: code lenses in, Actions ▾ and the open-questions gate out #579 gave/expanda lens on every story.37834e33— a feature doc named in the PRD is now a link that opens it in place, andprd-contractrequires the agent to write that link.Review
/code-review highover the branch raised five findings, all fixed in1284c52f. One mattered a lot: a spec reference lost every click to StarterKit's bundled Link extension (priority 1000,openOnClick), which returned true first and openedwindow.open(href, "_blank")— so37834e33's feature did not work in a browser at all, and following a PRD's reference left the console for a path it does not serve.SpecLinksnow declarespriority: 1001.The existing test could not see it:
clickOn()built aMouseEventit never dispatched, soevent.targetwas null and Link's handler bailed at its own guard before ordering mattered. The click now carries the real anchor — drop the priority back to 999 and three tests fail.The other four: the handler read marks at the clicked position rather than the anchor (the Link mark is inclusive, and
prd-contractputs the reference at end-of-line, so clicking beside a story navigated away); unwritten references opened a bogus tab; "Use recommended answers" with everything already answered asked the agent to decide an empty set and flag it*assumed*; and an unguardedSECTION_LENSES[section]could reachObject.prototype.ChatInput'sactionsslot lost its last caller when #579 removed the menu, so it goes.Proof of execution
Four real runs of the requirements eval — real agents service, real skills, sim user — drove this. The shape is the claim, and it holds:
editFileSheet committed at
evals/spec-agents/eval-reviews/lunch-coordinator-2026-08-20T13-11-06-060Z.md, with the human verdict recorded. Scores across the four runs: 75 / 63 / 63 / 69. The two rubric failures that remain are not interview-shape defects — the Google-Workspace miss is org-defaults blindness (the Tech-stack default settles sign-in, so the agent correctly never asks and the judge reads the default as invention), and per-person totals / mobile support were never volunteered by the sim.Gates.

With the cap gone, convergence is the only remaining brake — and this PR removes the brake without replacing it. That is the fog #521 named: what "we understand each other" looks like to a skill is not sharp enough to build yet. Naming it rather than papering over it.
One negation survives a
writing-great-skillspass on purpose. Rewriting "writing is not converging — do not end a turn on a document whose assumptions nobody has seen" as a purely positive statement regressed the behaviour outright: the eval dropped from 3 turns to 2, losing the second round entirely. Restored as a bound paired with the positive.Worth watching: the eval harness keeps a 10-turn runaway backstop (
DEFAULT_MAX_TURNS, #354) and scores "interview finished within cap" structurally. It is a harness safety valve, not the interview budget this PR removes — but a genuinely long interview would now trip it.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
