Agent Factory — Execution Guide

Overview

The ultraplan (ultraplan-2026-04-11-agent-factory.md) has 27 steps across 8 sessions in 3 waves. This guide provides self-contained prompts for each wave.

Key principle: Each session reads its blueprint document (in blueprints/) which contains exact file contents. No interpretation needed — implement what the blueprint specifies.

Reference Documents

Wave 0 — Preparation (CREATE BLUEPRINTS)

Run this FIRST. It creates the detailed blueprints that all other waves depend on.

/ultraexecute-local .claude/plans/ultraplan-2026-04-11-agent-factory.md

If not using ultraexecute, use this prompt:

Agent Factory Wave 0: Create session blueprints.

Context:
- Plan: .claude/plans/ultraplan-2026-04-11-agent-factory.md
- Spec: .claude/ultraplan-spec-2026-04-11-agent-factory.md
- Research: .claude/research/ultraresearch-2026-04-11-openclaw-paperclip-agent-frameworks.md
- Source analysis: .claude/research/source-code-analysis-2026-04-11.md
- Current codebase: 15 files, read ALL of them to understand conventions

Task 1: Verify the 4 assumptions in the plan:
  a) Search for Anthropic billing API docs (WebSearch). Document what exists.
  b) Test `claude --resume` with a custom session ID format. Document behavior.
  c) Check /schedule trigger docs. Document stability.
  d) Confirm Docker approach (Dockerfile + docker-compose.yml).
  Update the plan's Assumptions table with findings.

Task 2: Create 8 session blueprint documents in .claude/plans/blueprints/:
  - session-1-foundation.md (Steps 1-5)
  - session-2-skills-templates.md (Steps 6-7)
  - session-3-openclaw.md (Steps 9-12)
  - session-4-paperclip.md (Steps 14-18)
  - session-5-selflearning.md (Steps 20-21)
  - session-6-integration.md (Steps 22-24)
  - session-7-skill-updates.md (Steps 13, 19, 25)
  - session-8-finalization.md (Steps 8, 26, 27)

Each blueprint MUST contain:
  1. EXACT file contents for every new file (copy-paste ready)
  2. Precise diff descriptions for files being modified
  3. Verify commands that check CONTENT, not just file existence
  4. Quality criteria specific to the session
  5. Scope fence (what this session may/may not touch)

For exact template content, use:
  - Research brief for OpenClaw/Paperclip patterns (3-tier memory, WAL, heartbeat, etc.)
  - Source code analysis for implementation details (heartbeat format, budget schema, etc.)
  - Existing codebase files for conventions (frontmatter format, placeholder syntax, hook patterns)

All bash scripts must be bash 3.2 compatible. All templates use {{PLACEHOLDER}} syntax.
Python3 for JSON/YAML/date parsing in scripts.

Commit after all blueprints are created:
  git commit -m "docs(plans): create session blueprints for Agent Factory execution"
  git push origin main

Post-Execution Verification

After all waves complete, run the full verification suite:

# All renamed
grep -r "agent-builder" . --include="*.md" --include="*.json" | grep -v ".git/" | grep -v "research/" | grep -v "ultraplan" | wc -l  # → 0

# Plugin manifest
python3 -c "import json; d=json.load(open('.claude-plugin/plugin.json')); print(d['name'], d['version'])"  # → agent-factory 1.0.0

# All commands
ls commands/ | sort  # → build.md deploy.md evaluate.md status.md

# All agents
ls agents/ | sort  # → builder.md deployment-advisor.md

# All skills
ls skills/ | sort  # → agent-system-design managed-agents

# Template directories
ls scripts/templates/ | sort  # → budget cron docker domains feedback goals governance heartbeat memory optimization org-chart proactive transfer + existing files

# Domain templates
ls scripts/templates/domains/*.md | wc -l  # → 11

# All bash scripts pass syntax check
find scripts/templates -name "*.sh" -exec bash -n {} \;  # → no errors

# All agents have valid frontmatter
find agents -name "*.md" -exec python3 -c "import yaml,sys; yaml.safe_load(open(sys.argv[1]).read().split('---')[1])" {} \;  # → no errors
