Load artifacts: + - Parse spec.md sections: Overview/Context, Functional Requirements, Non-Functional Requirements, User Stories, Edge Cases (if present). + - Parse plan.md: Architecture/stack choices, Data Model references, Phases, Technical constraints. + - Parse tasks.md: Task IDs, descriptions, phase grouping, parallel markers [P], referenced file paths. + - Load constitution `.specify/memory/constitution.md` for principle validation. + +3. Build internal semantic models: + - Requirements inventory: Each functional + non-functional requirement with a stable key (derive slug based on imperative phrase; e.g., "User can upload file" -> `user-can-upload-file`). + - User story/action inventory. + - Task coverage mapping: Map each task to one or more requirements or stories (inference by keyword / explicit reference patterns like IDs or key phrases). + - Constitution rule set: Extract principle names and any MUST/SHOULD normative statements. + +4. Detection passes: + A. Duplication detection: + - Identify near-duplicate requirements. Mark lower-quality phrasing for consolidation. + B. Ambiguity detection: + - Flag vague adjectives (fast, scalable, secure, intuitive, robust) lacking measurable criteria. + - Flag unresolved placeholders (TODO, TKTK, ???, , etc.). + C. Underspecification: + - Requirements with verbs but missing object or measurable outcome. + - User stories missing acceptance criteria alignment. + - Tasks referencing files or components not defined in spec/plan. + D. Constitution alignment: + - Any requirement or plan element conflicting with a MUST principle. + - Missing mandated sections or quality gates from constitution. + E. Coverage gaps: + - Requirements with zero associated tasks. + - Tasks with no mapped requirement/story. + - Non-functional requirements not reflected in tasks (e.g., performance, security). + F. Inconsistency: + - Terminology drift (same concept named differently across files). + - Data entities referenced in plan but absent in spec (or vice versa). + - Task ordering contradictions (e.g., integration tasks before foundational setup tasks without dependency note). + - Conflicting requirements (e.g., one requires to use Next.js while other says to use Vue as the framework). + +5. Severity assignment heuristic: + - CRITICAL: Violates constitution MUST, missing core spec artifact, or requirement with zero coverage that blocks baseline functionality. + - HIGH: Duplicate or conflicting requirement, ambiguous security/performance attribute, untestable acceptance criterion. + - MEDIUM: Terminology drift, missing non-functional task coverage, underspecified edge case. + - LOW: Style/wording improvements, minor redundancy not affecting execution order. + +6.

Generate (internally) a prioritized queue of candidate clarification questions (maximum 5). Do NOT output them all at once. Apply these constraints: + - Maximum of 5 total questions across the whole session. + - Each question must be answerable with EITHER: + * A short multiple‑choice selection (2–5 distinct, mutually exclusive options), OR + * A one-word / short‑phrase answer (explicitly constrain: "Answer in <=5 words"). + - Only include questions whose answers materially impact architecture, data modeling, task decomposition, test design, UX behavior, operational readiness, or compliance validation. + - Ensure category coverage balance: attempt to cover the highest impact unresolved categories first; avoid asking two low-impact questions when a single high-impact area (e.g., security posture) is unresolved. + - Exclude questions already answered, trivial stylistic preferences, or plan-level execution details (unless blocking correctness). + - Favor clarifications that reduce downstream rework risk or prevent misaligned acceptance tests. + - If more than 5 categories remain unresolved, select the top 5 by (Impact * Uncertainty) heuristic. + +4.

Collect/derive values for placeholders: + - If user input (conversation) supplies a value, use it. + - Otherwise infer from existing repo context (README, docs, prior constitution versions if embedded). + - For governance dates: `RATIFICATION_DATE` is the original adoption date (if unknown ask or mark TODO), `LAST_AMENDED_DATE` is today if changes are made, otherwise keep previous. + - `CONSTITUTION_VERSION` must increment according to semantic versioning rules: + * MAJOR: Backward incompatible governance/principle removals or redefinitions. + * MINOR: New principle/section added or materially expanded guidance. + * PATCH: Clarifications, wording, typo fixes, non-semantic refinements. + - If version bump type ambiguous, propose reasoning before finalizing. + +3. Draft the updated constitution content: + - Replace every placeholder with concrete text (no bracketed tokens left except intentionally retained template slots that the project has chosen not to define yet—explicitly justify any left). + - Preserve heading hierarchy and comments can be removed once replaced unless they still add clarifying guidance. + - Ensure each Principle section: succinct name line, paragraph (or bullet list) capturing non‑negotiable rules, explicit rationale if not obvious. + - Ensure Governance section lists amendment procedure, versioning policy, and compliance review expectations. + +4. Consistency propagation checklist (convert prior checklist into active validations): + - Read `.specify/templates/plan-template.md` and ensure any "Constitution Check" or rules align with updated principles. + - Read `.specify/templates/spec-template.md` for scope/requirements alignment—update if constitution adds/removes mandatory sections or constraints. + - Read `.specify/templates/tasks-template.md` and ensure task categorization reflects new or removed principle-driven task types (e.g., observability, versioning, testing discipline). + - Read each command file in `.specify/templates/commands/*.md` (including this one) to verify no outdated references (agent-specific names like CLAUDE only) remain when generic guidance is required. + - Read any runtime guidance docs (e.g., `README.md`, `docs/quickstart.md`, or agent-specific guidance files if present).

Validation before final output: + - No remaining unexplained bracket tokens. + - Version line matches report. + - Dates ISO format YYYY-MM-DD. + - Principles are declarative, testable, and free of vague language ("should" → replace with MUST/SHOULD rationale where appropriate). + +7. Write the completed constitution back to `.specify/memory/constitution.md` (overwrite). + +8.

The research reveals three critical architectural pillars: **isolation**, **fair resource usage**, and **tenant autonomy**. Modern approaches have evolved beyond simple namespace isolation to incorporate hierarchical namespaces, virtual clusters, and Internal Kubernetes Platforms (IKPs). + +## 1. Best Practices for Namespace-as-Tenant Boundaries + +### Core Multi-Tenancy Model + +The **namespaces-as-a-service** model assigns each tenant a dedicated set of namespaces within a shared cluster.

Create feature branches for significant changes +2. Create PRs for change documentation and review history +3. Self-merge PRs when ready (no approval needed) +4. Use direct pushes only for hotfixes or minor updates + +### When to Use PRs vs Direct Push +- **PRs**: New features, architecture changes, documentation updates +- **Direct Push**: Typo fixes, quick

User Input + +```text +$ARGUMENTS +``` + +You **MUST** consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty). + +## Goal + +Identify inconsistencies, duplications, ambiguities, and underspecified items across the three core artifacts (`spec.md`, `plan.md`, `tasks.md`) before implementation. This command MUST run only after `/speckit.tasks` has successfully produced a complete `tasks.md`. + +## Operating Constraints + +**STRICTLY READ-ONLY**: Do **not** modify any files. Output a structured analysis report. Offer an optional remediation plan (user must explicitly approve before any follow-up editing commands would be invoked manually). + +**Constitution Authority**: The project constitution (`.specify/memory/constitution.md`) is **non-negotiable** within this analysis scope. Constitution conflicts are automatically CRITICAL and require adjustment of the spec, plan, or tasks—not dilution, reinterpretation, or silent ignoring of the principle. If a principle itself needs to change, that must occur in a separate, explicit constitution update outside `/speckit.analyze`. + +## Execution Steps + +### 1. Initialize Analysis Context + +Run `.specify/scripts/bash/check-prerequisites.sh --json --require-tasks --include-tasks` once from repo root and parse JSON for FEATURE_DIR and AVAILABLE_DOCS. Derive absolute paths: + +- SPEC = FEATURE_DIR/spec.md +- PLAN = FEATURE_DIR/plan.md +- TASKS = FEATURE_DIR/tasks.md + +Abort with an error message if any required file is missing (instruct the user to run missing prerequisite command). +For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'\''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot"). + +### 2.

`useAsyncAction`) +- **Types**: PascalCase (e.g., `ProjectSummary`) + +## Component Patterns + +### 1. Type Over Interface + +**Guideline**: Always use `type` instead of `interface` + +```typescript +// ✅ Good +type ButtonProps = { + label: string; + onClick: () => void; +}; + +// ❌ Bad +interface ButtonProps { + label: string; + onClick: () => void; +} +``` + +### 2. Component Props + +**Pattern**: Destructure props with typed parameters + +```typescript +type EmptyStateProps = { + icon?: React.ComponentType<{ className?: string }>; + title: string; + description?: string; + action?: React.ReactNode; +}; + +export function EmptyState({ + icon: Icon, + title, + description, + action +}: EmptyStateProps) { + // Implementation +} +``` + +### 3. Children Props + +**Pattern**: Use `React.ReactNode` for children + +```typescript +type PageContainerProps = { + children: React.ReactNode; + maxWidth?: 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg'; +}; +``` + +### 4. Loading States + +**Pattern**: Use skeleton components, not spinners + +```typescript +// ✅ Good - loading.tsx +import { TableSkeleton } from '@/components/skeletons'; + +export default function SessionsLoading() { + return ; +} + +// ❌ Bad - inline spinner +if (loading) return ; +``` + +### 5. Error Handling + +**Pattern**: Use error boundaries, not inline error states + +```typescript +// ✅ Good - error.tsx +'use client'; + +export default function SessionsError({ + error, + reset, +}: { + error: Error & { digest?: string }; + reset: () => void; +}) { + return ( + + + Failed to load sessions + {error.message} + + + + + + ); +} +``` + +### 6. Empty States + +**Pattern**: Use EmptyState component consistently + +```typescript +{sessions.length === 0 ? ( + + + New Session + + } + /> +) : ( + // Render list +)} +``` + +## React Query Patterns + +### 1. Query Hooks + +**Pattern**: Create typed query hooks in `services/queries/` + +```typescript +export function useProjects() { + return useQuery({ + queryKey: ['projects'], + queryFn: () => projectsApi.listProjects(), + staleTime: 30000, // 30 seconds + }); +} +``` + +### 2. Mutation Hooks + +**Pattern**: Include optimistic updates and cache invalidation + +```typescript +export function useDeleteProject() { + const queryClient = useQueryClient(); + + return useMutation({ + mutationFn: (name: string) => projectsApi.deleteProject(name), + onSuccess: () => { + queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['projects'] }); + }, + }); +} +``` + +### 3. Page Usage + +**Pattern**: Destructure query results + +```typescript +export default function ProjectsPage() { + const { data: projects, isLoading, error } = useProjects(); + const deleteMutation = useDeleteProject(); + + // Use loading.tsx for isLoading + // Use error.tsx for error + // Render data +} +``` + +## Layout Patterns + +### 1. Page Structure + +```typescript + + New Project} + /> + + + {/* Content */} + + +``` + +### 2. Sidebar Layout + +```typescript +} + sidebarWidth="16rem" +> + {children} + +``` + +## Form Patterns + +### 1. Form Fields + +**Pattern**: Use FormFieldWrapper for consistency + +```typescript + + + + + +``` + +### 2. Submit Buttons + +**Pattern**: Use LoadingButton for mutations + +```typescript + + Create Project + +``` + +## Custom Hooks + +### 1. Async Actions + +```typescript +const { execute, isLoading, error } = useAsyncAction( + async (data) => { + return await api.createProject(data); + } +); + +await execute(formData); +``` + +### 2. Local Storage + +```typescript +const [theme, setTheme] = useLocalStorage('theme', 'light'); +``` + +### 3. Clipboard + +```typescript +const { copy, copied } = useClipboard(); + + +``` + +## TypeScript Patterns + +### 1. No Any Types + +```typescript +// ✅ Good +type MessageHandler = (msg: SessionMessage) => void; + +// ❌ Bad +type MessageHandler = (msg: any) => void; +``` + +### 2. Optional Chaining + +```typescript +// ✅ Good +const name = project?.displayName ?? project.name; + +// ❌ Bad +const name = project ? project.displayName || project.name : ''; +``` + +### 3. Type Guards + +```typescript +function isErrorResponse(data: unknown): data is ErrorResponse { + return typeof data === 'object' && + data !== null && + 'error' in data; +} +``` + +## Performance Patterns + +### 1. Code Splitting + +**Pattern**: Use dynamic imports for heavy components + +```typescript +const HeavyComponent = dynamic(() => import('./HeavyComponent'), { + loading: () => , +}); +``` + +### 2. React Query Caching + +**Pattern**: Set appropriate staleTime + +```typescript +// Fast-changing data +staleTime: 0 + +// Slow-changing data +staleTime: 300000 // 5 minutes + +// Static data +staleTime: Infinity +``` + +## Accessibility Patterns + +### 1. ARIA Labels + +```typescript + +``` + +### 2. Keyboard Navigation + +```typescript +
e.key === 'Enter' && handleClick()} +> + {content} +
+``` + +## Error Message Patterns + +```typescript +// ✅ User-friendly +"Failed to load projects. Please try again." + +// ❌ Technical +"Error: ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:3000" +``` + +## Summary + +Key patterns: +- Use `type` over `interface` +- Skeleton components for loading +- Error boundaries for errors +- EmptyState for empty lists +- React Query for data fetching +- TypeScript strict mode +- No `any` types +- Proper error messages +

Each agent has specialized expertise and realistic seniority levels matching real software teams. + +### **Agent Persona** +A specialized AI character with defined role, expertise, seniority level, and analysis framework. Examples include Parker (PM), Archie (Architect), and Stella (Staff Engineer). + +### **Conversational RFE Creation** +The process of creating Requirements for Enhancement using natural language chat with AI, as opposed to filling out traditional forms. + +### **Kubernetes Operator** +Custom controller that extends Kubernetes functionality by watching Custom Resources and reconciling them to desired state. The Ambient Code Platform uses an operator to manage agentic sessions. + +### **Multi-Agent Workflow** +The coordinated process where multiple AI agents sequentially analyze an RFE, each contributing specialized expertise to create comprehensive requirements. + +### **RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)** +AI technique that enhances agent responses by retrieving relevant information from knowledge bases before generating analysis. + +### **RFE (Request for Enhancement)** +A structured document describing a desired software feature, including business justification, technical requirements, and success criteria. + +### **Refinement Agent Team (RAT)** +The complete AI-powered system that automates engineering refinement processes, reducing meeting time and improving ticket quality. + +### **Workflow Orchestration** +The automated management of task sequences, state transitions, and agent coordination within the Ambient Code Platform. + +## Technical Terms + +### **API Endpoint** +RESTful web service interface for programmatic access to platform functionality. + +### **FAISS** +Facebook AI Similarity Search - vector database used for efficient document retrieval in RAG systems. + +### **LlamaIndex** +Framework for building RAG applications with document indexing and retrieval capabilities. + +### **Pydantic** +Python library for data validation and serialization using type hints. + +### **Next.js** +React-based web framework used for the platform's frontend, providing server-side rendering, routing, and modern UI components via Shadcn UI. + +### **Vector Embedding** +Numerical representation of text that enables semantic similarity search in AI systems. + +### **WebSocket** +Communication protocol enabling real-time bidirectional data exchange between client and server. + +## Agent Roles & Personas + +### **Archie (Architect)** +Principal-level AI agent responsible for technical feasibility assessment, architecture review, and design validation. + +### **Derek (Delivery Owner)** +Delivery Manager-level agent focused on implementation planning, ticket creation, and timeline estimation. + +### **Lee (Team Lead)** +Engineering Manager-level agent handling team coordination, resource allocation, and execution oversight. + +### **Olivia (Product Owner)** +Senior Product Owner agent managing acceptance criteria definition, scope validation, and stakeholder alignment. + +### **Parker (Product Manager)** +Senior PM-level agent focused on business value assessment, prioritization, and stakeholder communication. + +### **Stella (Staff Engineer)** +Staff-level engineering agent providing implementation complexity analysis and technical decision-making. + +### **Taylor (Team Member)** +Senior Engineer-level agent handling detailed implementation considerations and development task breakdown. + +## Workflow States + +### **Agent Analysis** +Individual agent processing phase where a single agent analyzes the RFE from their specialized perspective. + +### **Collaborative Review** +Multi-agent phase where agents build upon each other's analysis to create comprehensive requirements. + +### **Criteria Refinement** +Process of improving and validating acceptance criteria for testability and completeness. + +### **Decision Point** +Critical workflow stage where agents make approve/reject/needs-info recommendations. + +### **Implementation Planning** +Final phase where approved RFEs are converted into actionable development tickets and timelines. + +### **Stakeholder Communication** +Process of updating requestors and stakeholders on RFE status and next steps. + +## Integration Terms + +### **Anthropic Claude** +Primary large language model API used for agent intelligence and conversational capabilities. + +### **GitHub Integration** +Connection to GitHub repositories for code context, documentation access, and issue management. + +### **Jira Integration** +Connection to Atlassian Jira for automated epic and story creation from refined RFEs. + +### **OpenAI Embeddings** +Text embedding service used for document similarity search in RAG systems. + +### **Vertex AI** +Google Cloud AI platform providing alternative language model capabilities. + +## Configuration Terms + +### **Agent Configuration** +YAML-based definition specifying agent behavior, knowledge sources, and analysis prompts. + +### **Data Sources** +External information sources (local files, GitHub repos, web pages) used to build agent knowledge bases. + +### **Environment Variables** +System configuration settings for API keys, service endpoints, and runtime parameters. + +### **Secrets Configuration** +Secure storage of API keys, authentication tokens, and sensitive system settings. + +### **Template Variables** +Placeholder values in agent prompts that are replaced with actual content during analysis. + +## Quality & Performance + +### **Acceptance Criteria** +Specific, measurable, testable conditions that must be met for an RFE to be considered complete. + +### **Business Value Score** +Numerical rating (1-10) assigned by PM agents to quantify the business impact of an RFE. + +### **Complexity Rating** +Assessment (low/medium/high) of implementation difficulty and resource requirements. + +### **Response Time** +Duration from RFE submission to complete agent analysis, target < 3 minutes for full workflow. + +### **Token Limit** +Maximum amount of text content that can be processed by AI agents in a single analysis. + +## Deployment Terms + +### **Container Orchestration** +Management of containerized platform services using Docker and Kubernetes platforms. + +### **Health Check** +Automated system monitoring endpoint that reports service status and availability. + +### **Horizontal Scaling** +Adding more instances of platform services to handle increased load. + +### **Load Balancing** +Distribution of requests across multiple platform service instances for optimal performance. + +### **Production Deployment** +Enterprise-grade installation of the Ambient Code Platform with high availability, monitoring, and security. + +## Development Terms + +### **CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment)** +Automated pipeline for testing, building, and deploying platform code changes. + +### **Pre-commit Hooks** +Automated code quality checks that run before Git commits are allowed. + +### **Test Coverage** +Percentage of code exercised by automated tests, target minimum 80% for new features. + +### **Type Checking** +Static analysis to verify Python code type correctness using mypy. + +### **Virtual Environment** +Isolated Python environment for managing project dependencies without system conflicts. + +## Acronyms + +### **AI** - Artificial Intelligence +### **API** - Application Programming Interface +### **CD** - Continuous Deployment +### **CI** - Continuous Integration +### **CPU** - Central Processing Unit +### **CRUD** - Create,

Adding Tests for New Features + +- Add test to `e2e/cypress/e2e/vteam.cy.ts` +- Ensure auth header is automatically added (no manual setup needed) +- Use `cy.visit()`, `cy.contains()`, `cy.get()` for UI interactions +- Use `cy.request()` for direct API testing +- Run locally first: `cd e2e && npm run test:headed` + +## When to Add E2E Tests + +✅ **DO write E2E tests for:** +- New critical user workflows (project creation, session management) +- Multi-component integrations (frontend → backend → operator) +- Breaking changes to core flows + +❌ **DON'T write E2E tests for:** +- Unit-testable logic (use unit tests instead) +- Internal implementation details + +## E2E Test Writing Rules + +### 1. Use Descriptive Test Names + +Test names should describe user actions and expected results, not technical details. + +### 2. Use Data Attributes for Selectors + +Use stable `data-testid` selectors, not CSS classes or element positions. + +### 3. Wait for Conditions + +Wait for actual conditions, not fixed timeouts like `cy.wait(3000)`. + +### 4. Test User Workflows + +Test from user perspective, not implementation details or API internals. + +### 5. Auth Headers Automatic + +Don't manually add auth headers - they're auto-injected in the platform's e2e tests. + +### 6. Use Unique Test Data + +Use timestamps or UUIDs, not hardcoded names. + +### 7. Follow Arrange-Act-Assert Pattern + +Structure tests clearly with setup, action, and verification phases. + +## Example of a Well-Written E2E Test + +```typescript +it('should create a new project when user fills form and clicks submit', () => { + // Arrange: Navigate to form + cy.visit('/projects/new') + + // Act: Fill unique data and submit + const projectName = `test-${Date.now()}` + cy.get('[data-testid="project-name-input"]').type(projectName) + cy.get('[data-testid="create-project-btn"]').click() + + // Assert: Verify success + cy.contains('Loading...').should('not.exist') + cy.url().should('include', `/projects/${projectName}`) +}) +``` + +## Common E2E Mistakes to Avoid + +- ❌ Testing implementation details instead of user workflows +- ❌ Using fragile CSS selectors instead of data-testid +- ❌ Fixed waits (`cy.wait(3000)`) instead of conditional waits +- ❌ Manually adding auth headers (automatic in ACP e2e tests) +- ❌ Not cleaning up test data +- ❌ Hardcoded test data causing conflicts +- ❌ Tests that depend on execution order +- ❌ Missing assertions (test passes but doesn't verify anything) + +## Pre-Commit Checklist for E2E Tests + +Before committing e2e test changes: + +- [ ] Tests pass locally: `make e2e-test` +- [ ] Test names describe user actions and outcomes +- [ ] Used `data-testid` selectors (not CSS classes) +- [ ] No fixed waits (`cy.wait(3000)`), only conditional waits +- [ ] No manual auth headers (automatic via interceptor) +- [ ] Used unique test data (timestamps, UUIDs) +- [ ] Tests are independent (no execution order dependency) +- [ ] All assertions present and meaningful +- [ ] Video shows expected behavior +- [ ] Added data-testid to components if needed +- [ ] Updated `e2e/README.md` if adding new test categories +- [ ] Ran with UI to verify: `npm run test:headed` + +## Run Before Committing + +```bash +# Test locally +make e2e-test CONTAINER_ENGINE=podman + +# Verify video +open e2e/cypress/videos/vteam.cy.ts.mp4 + +# Check for console errors +# Review screenshots if any tests failed +``` + +## Troubleshooting E2E Failures + +### View Pod Logs + +```bash +kubectl logs -n ambient-code -l app=frontend +kubectl logs -n ambient-code -l app=backend-api +``` + +### Check Ingress + +```bash +kubectl get ingress -n ambient-code +kubectl describe ingress frontend-ingress -n ambient-code +``` + +### Test Manually + +```bash +curl http://vteam.local:8080/api/cluster-info +``` + +### Run with UI for Debugging + +```bash +cd e2e +source .env.test +CYPRESS_TEST_TOKEN="$TEST_TOKEN" CYPRESS_BASE_URL="$CYPRESS_BASE_URL" npm run test:headed +``` + +## CI/CD Integration + +Tests run automatically on all PRs via GitHub Actions (`.github/workflows/e2e.yml`). + +### Constitution Alignment (Principle IV: Test-Driven Development) + +- ✅ **E2E Tests for Critical Journeys**: Project creation workflow is core user journey +- ✅ **CI/CD Enforcement**: GitHub Actions runs e2e tests on all PRs +- ✅ **Tests Must Pass**: PR merge blocked if tests fail +- 📋 **Future**: Add session creation and execution tests (requires API key setup) + + + + + +# ACP Constitution + +## Core Principles + +### I. Kubernetes-Native Architecture + +All features MUST be built using Kubernetes primitives and patterns: + +- Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) for domain objects (AgenticSession, ProjectSettings, RFEWorkflow) +- Operators for reconciliation loops and lifecycle management +- Jobs for execution workloads with proper resource limits +- ConfigMaps and Secrets for configuration management +- Services and Routes for network exposure +- RBAC for authorization boundaries + +**Rationale**: Kubernetes-native design ensures portability, scalability, and enterprise-grade operational tooling. Violations create operational complexity and reduce platform value. + +### II. Security & Multi-Tenancy First + +Security and isolation MUST be embedded in every component: + +- **Authentication**: All user-facing endpoints MUST use user tokens via `GetK8sClientsForRequest()` +- **Authorization**: RBAC checks MUST be performed before resource access +- **Token Security**: NEVER log tokens, API keys, or sensitive headers; use redaction in logs +- **Multi-Tenancy**: Project-scoped namespaces with strict isolation +- **Principle of Least Privilege**: Service accounts with minimal permissions +- **Container Security**: SecurityContext with `AllowPrivilegeEscalation: false`, drop all capabilities +- **No Fallback**: Backend service account ONLY for CR writes and token minting, never as fallback + +**Rationale**: Security breaches and privilege escalation destroy trust. Multi-tenant isolation is non-negotiable for enterprise deployment. + +### III. Type Safety & Error Handling (NON-NEGOTIABLE) + +Production code MUST follow strict type safety and error handling rules: + +- **No Panic**: FORBIDDEN in handlers, reconcilers, or any production path +- **Explicit Errors**: Return `fmt.Errorf("context: %w", err)` with wrapped errors +- **Type-Safe Unstructured**: Use `unstructured.Nested*` helpers, check `found` before using values +- **Frontend Type Safety**: Zero `any` types without eslint-disable justification +- **Structured Errors**: Log errors before returning with relevant context (namespace, resource name) +- **Graceful Degradation**: `IsNotFound` during cleanup is not an error + +**Rationale**: Runtime panics crash operator loops and kill services. Type assertions without checks cause nil pointer dereferences. Explicit error handling ensures debuggability and operational stability. + +### IV. Test-Driven Development + +TDD is MANDATORY for all new functionality: + +- **Contract Tests**: Every API endpoint/library interface MUST have contract tests +- **Integration Tests**: Multi-component interactions MUST have integration tests +- **Unit Tests**: Business logic MUST have unit tests +- **Permission Tests**: RBAC boundary validation +- **E2E Tests**: Critical user journeys MUST have end-to-end tests +- **Red-Green-Refactor**: Tests written → Tests fail → Implementation → Tests pass → Refactor + +**Coverage Standards**: + +- Maintain high test coverage across all categories +- Critical paths MUST have comprehensive test coverage +- CI/CD pipeline MUST enforce test passing before merge +- Coverage reports generated automatically in CI + +**Rationale**: Tests written after implementation miss edge cases and don't drive design. TDD ensures testability, catches regressions, and documents expected behavior. + +### V. Component Modularity + +Code MUST be organized into clear, single-responsibility modules: + +- **Handlers**: HTTP/watch logic ONLY, no business logic +- **Types**: Pure data structures, no methods or business logic +- **Services**: Reusable business logic, no direct HTTP handling +- **No Cyclic Dependencies**: Package imports must form a DAG +- **Frontend Colocation**: Single-use components colocated with pages, reusable components in `/components` +- **File Size Limit**: Components over 200 lines MUST be broken down + +**Rationale**: Modular architecture enables parallel development, simplifies testing, and reduces cognitive load. Cyclic dependencies create maintenance nightmares. + +### VI. Observability & Monitoring + +All components MUST support operational visibility: + +- **Structured Logging**: Use structured logs with context (namespace, resource, operation) +- **Health Endpoints**: `/health` endpoints for all services (liveness, readiness) +- **Metrics Endpoints**: `/metrics` endpoints REQUIRED for all services (Prometheus format) +- **Status Updates**: Use `UpdateStatus` subresource for CR status changes +- **Event Emission**: Kubernetes events for operator actions +- **Error Context**: Errors must include actionable context for debugging +- **Key Metrics**: Expose latency percentiles (p50/p95/p99), error rates, throughput, and component-specific operational metrics aligned with project goals + +**Metrics Standards**: + +- Prometheus format on dedicated management port +- Standard labels: service, namespace, version +- Focus on metrics critical to project success (e.g., session execution time for vTeam) + +**Rationale**: Production systems fail. Without observability, debugging is impossible and MTTR explodes. Metrics enable proactive monitoring and capacity planning. + +### VII. Resource Lifecycle Management + +Kubernetes resources MUST have proper lifecycle management: + +- **OwnerReferences**: ALWAYS set on child resources (Jobs, Secrets, PVCs, Services) +- **Controller References**: Use `Controller: true` for primary owner +- **No BlockOwnerDeletion**: Causes permission issues in multi-tenant environments +- **Idempotency**: Resource creation MUST check existence first +- **Cleanup**: Rely on OwnerReferences for cascading deletes +- **Goroutine Safety**: Exit monitoring goroutines when parent resource deleted + +**Rationale**: Resource leaks waste cluster capacity and cause outages. Proper lifecycle management ensures automatic cleanup and prevents orphaned resources. + +### VIII. Context Engineering & Prompt Optimization + +vTeam is a context engineering hub - AI output quality depends on input quality: + +- **Context Budgets**: Respect token limits (200K for Claude Sonnet 4.5) +- **Context Prioritization**: System context > conversation history > examples +- **Prompt Templates**: Use standardized templates for common operations (RFE analysis, code review) +- **Context Compression**: Summarize long-running sessions to preserve history within budget +- **Agent Personas**: Maintain consistency through well-defined agent roles +- **Pre-Deployment Optimization**: ALL prompts MUST be optimized for clarity and token efficiency before deployment +- **Incremental Loading**: Build context incrementally, avoid reloading static content + +**Rationale**: Poor context management causes hallucinations, inconsistent outputs, and wasted API costs. Context engineering is a first-class engineering discipline for AI platforms. + +### IX. Data Access & Knowledge Augmentation + +Enable agents to access external knowledge and learn from interactions: + +- **RAG**: Embed and index repository contents, chunk semantically (512-1024 tokens), use consistent models, apply reranking +- **MCP**: Support MCP servers for structured data access, enforce namespace isolation, handle failures gracefully +- **RLHF**: Capture user ratings (thumbs up/down), store with session metadata, refine prompts from patterns, support A/B testing + +**Rationale**: Static prompts have limited effectiveness. Platforms must continuously improve through knowledge retrieval and learning from user feedback. + +### X. Commit Discipline & Code Review + +Each commit MUST be atomic, reviewable, and independently testable: + +**Line Count Thresholds** (excludes generated code, test fixtures, vendor/deps): + +- **Bug Fix**: ≤150 lines + - Single issue resolution + - Includes test demonstrating the bug + - Includes fix verification + +- **Feature (Small)**: ≤300 lines + - Single user-facing capability + - Includes unit + contract tests + - Updates relevant documentation + +- **Feature (Medium)**: ≤500 lines + - Multi-component feature + - Requires design justification in commit message + - MUST be reviewable in 30 minutes + +- **Refactoring**: ≤400 lines + - Behavior-preserving changes only + - MUST NOT mix with feature/bug changes + - Existing tests MUST pass unchanged + +- **Documentation**: ≤200 lines + - Pure documentation changes + - Can be larger for initial docs + +- **Test Addition**: ≤250 lines + - Adding missing test coverage + - MUST NOT include implementation changes + +**Mandatory Exceptions** (requires justification in PR description): + +- **Code Generation**: Generated CRD YAML, OpenAPI schemas, protobuf +- **Data Migration**: Database migrations, fixture updates +- **Dependency Updates**: go.mod, package.json, requirements.txt +- **Configuration**: Kubernetes manifests for new components (≤800 lines) + +**Commit Requirements**: + +- **Atomic**: Single logical change that can be independently reverted +- **Self-Contained**: Each commit MUST pass all tests and linters +- **Conventional Format**: `type(scope): description` + - Types: `feat`, `fix`, `refactor`, `test`, `docs`, `chore`, `perf`, `ci` + - Scope: component name (backend, frontend, operator, runner) +- **Message Content**: Explain WHY, not WHAT (code shows what) +- **No WIP Commits**: Squash before PR submission + +**Review Standards**: + +- PR over 600 lines MUST be broken into multiple PRs +- Each commit reviewed independently (enable per-commit review in GitHub) +- Large PRs require design doc or RFC first +- Incremental delivery preferred over "big bang" merges + +**Measurement** (what counts toward limits): + +- ✅ Source code (`*.go`, `*.ts`, `*.tsx`, `*.py`) +- ✅ Configuration specific to feature (new YAML, JSON) +- ✅ Test code +- ❌ Generated code (CRDs, OpenAPI, mocks) +- ❌ Lock files (`go.sum`, `package-lock.json`) +- ❌ Vendored dependencies +- ❌ Binary files + +**Rationale**: Large commits hide bugs, slow reviews, complicate bisecting, and create merge conflicts. Specific thresholds provide objective guidance while exceptions handle legitimate cases. Small, focused commits enable faster feedback, easier debugging (git bisect), and safer reverts. + +## Development Standards + +### Go Code (Backend & Operator) + +**Formatting**: + +- Run `gofmt -w .` before committing +- Use `golangci-lint run` for comprehensive linting +- Run `go vet ./...` to detect suspicious constructs + +**Error Handling**: See Principle III: Type Safety & Error Handling + +**Kubernetes Client Patterns**: + +- User operations: `GetK8sClientsForRequest(c)` +- Service account: ONLY for CR writes and token minting +- Status updates: Use `UpdateStatus` subresource +- Watch loops: Reconnect on channel close with backoff + +### Frontend Code (NextJS) + +**UI Components**: + +- Use Shadcn UI components from `@/components/ui/*` +- Use `type` instead of `interface` for type definitions +- All buttons MUST show loading states during async operations +- All lists MUST have empty states + +**Data Operations**: + +- Use React Query hooks from `@/services/queries/*` +- All mutations MUST invalidate relevant queries +- No direct `fetch()` calls in components + +**File Organization**: + +- Colocate single-use components with pages +- All routes MUST have `page.tsx`, `loading.tsx`, `error.tsx` +- Components over 200 lines MUST be broken down + +### Python Code (Runner) + +**Environment**: + +- ALWAYS use virtual environments (`python -m venv venv` or `uv venv`) +- Prefer `uv` over `pip` for package management + +**Formatting**: + +- Use `black` with 88 character line length +- Use `isort` with black profile +- Run linters before committing + +### Naming & Legacy Migration + +**vTeam → ACP Transition**: + +Replace usage of "vTeam" with "ACP" (Ambient Code Platform) where it is safe and unobtrusive to do so: + +**Safe to Update** (non-breaking changes): + +- User-facing documentation and README files +- Code comments and inline documentation +- Log messages and error messages +- UI text and labels +- Variable names in new code + +**DO NOT Update** (breaking changes - maintain for backward compatibility): + +- Kubernetes API group: `vteam.ambient-code` +- Custom Resource Definitions (CRD kinds) +- Container image names: `vteam_frontend`, `vteam_backend`, etc. +- Kubernetes resource names: deployments, services, routes +- Environment variables referenced in deployment configs +- File paths in scripts that reference namespaces/resources +- Git repository name and URLs + +**Incremental Approach**: + +- Update documentation first (README, CLAUDE.md, docs/) +- Update UI text in new features +- Use ACP naming in new code modules +- Do NOT perform mass renames - update organically during feature work +- Document remaining vTeam references in "Legacy vTeam References" section + +**Rationale**: The project rebranded from vTeam to Ambient Code Platform, but technical artifacts retain "vteam" for backward compatibility.

You'll create your first AgenticSession to analyze a simple Python repository and generate a README file describing its functionality. + +## Step 1: Access the Platform Interface + +1. **Ensure the platform is running**. For local development with OpenShift Local (CRC): + + ```bash + cd platform + make dev-start + ``` + +2. **Get the frontend URL**: + + ```bash + echo "https://$(oc get route vteam-frontend -n vteam-dev -o jsonpath='{.spec.host}')" + ``` + +3. **Open your browser** to the frontend URL + +4. **Verify the interface**: + - You should see the dashboard + - Navigate to your project (or create one if needed) + - Look for the "Agentic Sessions" section + +**✅ Checkpoint**: Confirm you can access the interface and see the sessions list. + +## Step 2: Create Your First Session (Single Repository) + +Let's start with a simple single-repository session. + +1. **Click "Create Session"** or similar button in the UI + +2. **Configure the session**: + + **Basic Settings:** + - **Prompt**: `Analyze this Python repository and create a comprehensive README.md file` + - **Repository URL**: `https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-python` (or any small Python repo) + - **Branch**: `main` + - **Interactive Mode**: `false` (headless/batch mode) + + **Advanced Settings** (optional): + - **Timeout**: `3600` (1 hour, default is fine) + - **Model**: `claude-sonnet-4` (default) + +3. **Click "Create Session"** to submit + +4. **Observe the Kubernetes resources**: + + ```bash + # Watch the AgenticSession Custom Resource + oc get agenticsessions -n your-project-name -w + + # Watch the Job that gets created + oc get jobs -n your-project-name -w + + # Watch the Pod executing Claude Code + oc get pods -n your-project-name -w + ``` + +**✅ Checkpoint**: You should see an AgenticSession CR created, followed by a Job and Pod spawning. + +## Step 3: Monitor Session Execution + +Real-time monitoring is crucial for understanding session progress. + +### Via Web Interface + +1. **Navigate to the session detail page** by clicking on your session +2. **Watch the status updates**: + - `Pending`: Session created, waiting for Job + - `Running`: Job pod is executing Claude Code + - `Completed`: Session finished successfully + - `Failed`: Session encountered an error + +3. **View real-time logs** (if UI provides streaming) + +### Via CLI + +```bash +# Get session status +oc get agenticsession -n -o yaml + +# Watch Job status +oc describe job -n + +# Stream pod logs +oc logs -f job/ -n +``` + +**Sample log output:** +``` +Cloning repository https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-python... +Running Claude Code CLI with prompt: Analyze this Python repository... +Claude: I'll analyze this repository structure... +Creating README.md with comprehensive documentation... +Session completed successfully. +``` + +**✅ Checkpoint**: Session should transition through Pending → Running → Completed within 5-10 minutes. + +## Step 4: Review Session Results + +Once the session completes, examine the results. + +1. **Check the session status** in the UI: + - Look for completion timestamp + - Check for any error messages + - Review execution summary + +2. **View the output** (if repository forking is enabled): + - A pull request may be created with the generated README.md + - Or changes may be pushed to the output repository + +3. **Inspect the AgenticSession CR**: + + ```bash + oc get agenticsession -n -o jsonpath='{.status}' | jq + ``` + + **Expected status fields:** + ```json + { + "phase": "Completed", + "startTime": "2025-10-30T10:00:00Z", + "completionTime": "2025-10-30T10:08:32Z", + "results": "Successfully created README.md with 250 lines...", + "repos": [ + { + "url": "https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-python", + "status": "pushed" + } + ] + } + ``` + +**✅ Checkpoint**: Session status should show "Completed" with results summary. + +## Step 5: Create an Interactive Session + +Interactive sessions allow back-and-forth conversation with Claude Code. + +1. **Create a new session** with these settings: + - **Prompt**: `Help me refactor this Python codebase for better maintainability` + - **Repository**: Same as before + - **Interactive Mode**: `true` + +2. **Understand interactive mode**: + - Session runs indefinitely until you signal completion + - Uses inbox/outbox files for asynchronous communication + - Allows multi-turn conversations + +3. **Interact with the session**: + + ```bash + # Write to inbox file (send message to Claude) + oc exec -it -n -- \ + bash -c 'echo "Focus on the authentication module first" > /workspace/inbox.txt' + + # Read from outbox file (get Claude's response) + oc exec -it -n -- \ + cat /workspace/outbox.txt + ``` + +4. **Stop the interactive session** when done: + - Write `EXIT` to inbox.txt + - Or delete the AgenticSession CR + +**✅ Checkpoint**: Interactive session should remain in "Running" state until you signal completion. + +## Step 6: Multi-Repository Session (Advanced) + +The Ambient Code Platform supports operating on multiple repositories simultaneously. + +1. **Create a multi-repo session**: + + **Prompt**: `Compare the API design patterns in these two SDK repositories and create a best practices document` + + **Repositories**: + - Repo 1 (main workspace): + - URL: `https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-python` + - Branch: `main` + - Repo 2 (reference): + - URL: `https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-typescript` + - Branch: `main` + + **Main Repo Index**: `0` (Python SDK is the working directory) + +2. **Understand multi-repo behavior**: + - All repos are cloned to the workspace + - `mainRepoIndex` specifies which repo Claude works in + - Claude can reference and analyze all repos + - Changes are typically made to the main repo + +3. **Review per-repo status**: + + ```bash + oc get agenticsession -n -o jsonpath='{.status.repos}' | jq + ``` + + **Expected output:** + ```json + [ + { + "url": "https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-python", + "status": "pushed" + }, + { + "url": "https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-typescript", + "status": "abandoned" + } + ] + ``` + +**✅ Checkpoint**: Multi-repo session should successfully clone and analyze multiple repositories. + +## Validation & Testing + +### Test Your Understanding + +**Question 1**: What are the two session modes, and when would you use each? +- **Headless (interactive: false)**: Single-prompt execution with timeout, ideal for batch tasks +- **Interactive (interactive: true)**: Long-running chat sessions, ideal for iterative development + +**Question 2**: What Kubernetes resources are created when you submit an AgenticSession? +- AgenticSession Custom Resource +- Job (managed by the Operator) +- Pod (executes Claude Code runner) +- Secret (for API keys, via ProjectSettings) +- PersistentVolumeClaim (workspace storage) + +**Question 3**: How can you tell if a session completed successfully? +- Status phase is "Completed" +- No error messages in status +- Completion timestamp is set +- Results field contains summary + +### Verify Session Quality + +A successful AgenticSession should have: + +- [ ] **Valid Custom Resource** with spec and status fields +- [ ] **Job completion** without errors +- [ ] **Results summary** in status.results +- [ ] **Proper phase transition** (Pending → Running → Completed) +- [ ] **Per-repo status** showing push/abandon decisions + +## Troubleshooting 🛠️ + +### Session Stuck in Pending + +- **Cause**: Operator not running or Job creation failed +- **Solution**: Check operator logs and RBAC permissions + ```bash + oc logs deployment/vteam-operator -n vteam-dev + oc describe job -n + ``` + +### Session Fails Immediately + +- **Cause**: Invalid API key, repository access issues, or misconfigured ProjectSettings +- **Solution**: Verify API key in Secret and check pod logs + ```bash + oc get secret runner-secrets -n -o yaml + oc logs job/ -n + ``` + +### Pod ImagePullBackOff + +- **Cause**: Container image not accessible or wrong registry +- **Solution**: Verify image tag and registry permissions + ```bash + oc describe pod -n + oc get pods -n -o jsonpath='{.items[*].spec.containers[*].image}' + ``` + +### Session Timeout + +- **Cause**: Task took longer than configured timeout +- **Solution**: Increase timeout value or simplify prompt + ```yaml + spec: + timeout: 7200 # 2 hours + ``` + +## Key Learnings 📚 + +After completing this lab, you should understand: + +1. **AgenticSession Lifecycle**: How sessions are created, executed, and completed +2. **Kubernetes Integration**: How the platform uses CRs, Operators, and Jobs +3. **Session Modes**: When to use interactive vs headless execution +4. **Multi-Repo Support**: How to work with multiple repositories simultaneously +5. **Monitoring**: How to track session progress via UI and CLI + +## Further Exploration 🔍 + +Ready to dig deeper? + +- **Try complex prompts**: Multi-step refactoring or feature implementation +- **Experiment with timeouts**: Find optimal values for different task types +- **Explore multi-repo workflows**: Cross-repository analysis and migration +- **Customize ProjectSettings**: Configure default models, timeouts, and API keys +- **Review CLAUDE.md**: Understand the complete AgenticSession specification + +## Success Criteria ✅ + +You've successfully completed Lab 1 when: + +- [ ] Created at least one successful AgenticSession +- [ ] Monitored session execution via UI and CLI +- [ ] Understood the difference between interactive and headless modes +- [ ] Reviewed session results and status +- [ ] Can explain how the platform uses Kubernetes resources + +**Congratulations!** You've mastered the fundamentals of the Ambient Code Platform's AgenticSession workflow.

Example: `path = strings.Split(path, "?")[0] + "?token=[REDACTED]"` + +4. **Type-Safe Unstructured Access** + - FORBIDDEN: Direct type assertions without checking: `obj.Object["spec"].(map[string]interface{})` + - REQUIRED: Use `unstructured.Nested*` helpers with three-value returns + - Example: `spec, found, err := unstructured.NestedMap(obj.Object, "spec")` + - REQUIRED: Check `found` before using values; handle type mismatches gracefully + +5. **OwnerReferences for Resource Lifecycle** + -

Single View Adoption + +**Decision:** Keep only `03-architecture-only.xml` (grade 8.8/10, 187K tokens). + +**Rationale:** +- Highest overall quality score (8.8/10) of all 7 configurations +- Optimal token efficiency (187K tokens fits comfortably in context windows) +- Comprehensive coverage (132 files across all 7 components) +- Simpler developer experience (no decision fatigue about which view to use) +- Significant repo size reduction (19M → 1M, 94% smaller) + +**Files Deleted:** +1. `01-full-context.xml` - Too large (550K tokens), poor token efficiency (grade 3.0) +2.

`03-architecture-only.xml` for all tasks:** +- General development work +- Architecture understanding +- Planning new features +- Code reviews +- Cross-component analysis + +**Why this works:** +- Comprehensive enough for most tasks (132 files, all components) +- Small enough to leave room for conversation (187K tokens) +- Eliminates decision fatigue +- Simpler mental model + +### Combining with Context Files + +For specialized work, combine the architecture view with context files from `.claude/context/`: + +```bash +# Backend work +"Claude, load repomix-analysis/03-architecture-only.xml and .claude/context/backend-development.md" + +# Frontend work +"Claude, load repomix-analysis/03-architecture-only.xml and .claude/context/frontend-development.md" + +# Security review +"Claude, load repomix-analysis/03-architecture-only.xml and .claude/context/security-standards.md" +``` + +### Key Takeaways + +1. **One view is enough** - 03-architecture-only.xml covers 95% of use cases +2. **Token efficiency matters** - Under 200K tokens leaves room for conversation +3. **CLAUDE.md is critical** - Project instructions guide agent behavior +4. **Type definitions preserve contracts** - Essential for code generation +5. **Tests are often noise** - Exclude for architecture understanding +6. **Combine with context files** - Layer specific knowledge on top of architecture + +### When to Generate Custom Views + +For rare specialized needs, generate on-demand: + +```bash +# Backend-heavy analysis +repomix --include "components/backend/**" --output backend-custom.xml --style xml + +# Frontend-heavy analysis +repomix --include "components/frontend/**" --output frontend-custom.xml --style xml +``` + +But in practice, the architecture view works for 95% of tasks. + +## Quick Start Guide + +### Using the Committed View + +The repo includes a pre-generated architecture view: + +```bash +# Simply reference it in your prompts +"Claude, load repomix-analysis/03-architecture-only.xml and help me understand X" +``` + +### Regenerating After Changes + +Update the view after major architectural changes: + +```bash +# Uses .repomixignore patterns +repomix --output repomix-analysis/03-architecture-only.xml --style xml +``` + +**Regenerate monthly or when:** +- Major architectural changes occur +- Component structure changes significantly +- Before major refactoring efforts +- View feels "stale" (>2 months old) diff --git a/repomix-analysis/repomix-heatmap.png
