commit 4679f4556d218bc246b52e87ff18bf75267d771c Author: Kjell Tore Guttormsen Date: Wed Apr 8 08:58:35 2026 +0200 feat(ultraplan-local): v1.6.0 — /ultraresearch-local deep research command Add /ultraresearch-local for structured research combining local codebase analysis with external knowledge via parallel agent swarms. Produces research briefs with triangulation, confidence ratings, and source quality assessment. New command: /ultraresearch-local with modes --quick, --local, --external, --fg. New agents: research-orchestrator (opus), docs-researcher, community-researcher, security-researcher, contrarian-researcher, gemini-bridge (all sonnet). New template: research-brief-template.md. Integration: --research flag in /ultraplan-local accepts pre-built research briefs (up to 3), enriches the interview and exploration phases. Planning orchestrator cross-references brief findings during synthesis. Design principle: Context Engineering — right information to right agent at right time. Research briefs are structured artifacts in the pipeline: ultraresearch → brief → ultraplan --research → plan → ultraexecute.

Runs interview → lightweight Glob/Grep scan → planning → adversarial review. For when the developer knows the codebase and needs structure, not cartography. +- **`--export` mode** — generates shareable output from an existing plan file. Three formats: `pr` (PR description), `issue` (issue comment), `markdown` (clean plan without internal metadata). +- **task-finder three-tier categorization** — findings categorized as Must-change (must be modified), Must-respect (contract that must not break), or Reference (context/reuse). Replaces flat file list. +- **Adaptive interview depth** — interview adapts to answer quality. Detailed answers trigger fewer, more targeted questions. Short/uncertain answers trigger simpler questions with offered alternatives. +- **Complete `plugin.json` metadata** — author, homepage, repository, license, keywords added. +- **README badges** — version, license, and platform badges. +- **Known limitations section in README** — IaC projects (Terraform, Helm, Pulumi, CDK) get reduced value from exploration agents. +- **Forgejo issue templates** — bug report and feature request YAML templates. +- **CONTRIBUTING.md** — rewritten for honest solo-project model. + +### Changed + +- plugin.json version bumped to 1.0.0 +- Command header updated to Ultraplan Local v1.0 +- Orchestrator accepts `mode: quick` in prompt for lightweight scanning path + +## [0.4.0] - 2026-04-06 + +### Added + +- **3 new agents** for information-complete planning: + - `task-finder` — dedicated agent for finding task-relevant files, functions, types, and reuse candidates.

Check completeness, consistency, +testability, and scope clarity. Report findings and verdict." + +Handle the verdict: +- **PROCEED** — continue to Phase 2. +- **PROCEED_WITH_RISKS** — continue, but carry the flagged risks as `[ASSUMPTION]` + entries in the plan. +- **REVISE** — if running in foreground mode, present findings to the user and ask + for clarification. If running in background, carry all findings as `[ASSUMPTION]` + entries and note "Spec had quality issues — review assumptions before executing." + +### Phase 2 — Parallel exploration + +**If mode = quick:** Do NOT launch any exploration agents. Run a lightweight +file check instead: +- `Glob` for files matching key terms from the task (up to 3 patterns) +- `Grep` for function/type definitions matching key terms (up to 3 patterns) + +Report: "Quick mode: lightweight file scan only. {N} files identified." +Skip Phase 3 (deep-dives). Proceed directly to Phase 4 (Synthesis) with +scan results only. + +--- + +**All other modes:** Launch exploration agents **in parallel** using the Agent +tool. Use specialized agents from the plugin. + +**All agents run for all codebase sizes.** Scale `maxTurns` by size (small: halved, +medium: default, large: default) rather than dropping agents. + +| Agent | Small | Medium | Large | Purpose | +|-------|-------|--------|-------|---------| +| `architecture-mapper` | Yes | Yes | Yes | Codebase structure, patterns, anti-patterns | +| `dependency-tracer` | Yes | Yes | Yes | Module connections, data flow, side effects | +| `risk-assessor` | Yes | Yes | Yes | Risks, edge cases, failure modes | +| `task-finder` | Yes | Yes | Yes | Task-relevant files, functions, types, reuse candidates | +| `test-strategist` | Yes | Yes | Yes | Test patterns, coverage gaps, strategy | +| `git-historian` | Yes | Yes | Yes | Recent changes, ownership, hot files, active branches | +| `research-scout` | Conditional | Conditional | Conditional | External docs (only when unfamiliar tech detected) | +| `convention-scanner` | No | Yes | Yes | Coding conventions, naming, style, test patterns | + +**Convention Scanner** — use the `convention-scanner` plugin agent (model: "sonnet") +for medium+ codebases only. Pass the task description as context. + +**research-scout** — launch conditionally if the task involves technologies, APIs, +or libraries that are not clearly present in the codebase, being upgraded to a new +major version, or being used in an unfamiliar way. **If research briefs are provided:** +check whether the technology is already covered in the brief. Only launch research-scout +for technologies NOT covered by the brief. + +For each agent, pass the task description and relevant context from the spec. + +### Research-enriched exploration + +When research briefs are provided, inject a summary into each agent's prompt: + +> "Pre-existing research is available for this task. Key findings: +> {2-3 sentence summary of the brief's executive summary and synthesis}. +> Focus your exploration on areas NOT covered by this research. +> Validate or contradict research claims where your findings overlap." + +Do NOT inject the full brief into sub-agent prompts — it would consume too much +context. Summarize to 2-3 sentences per brief. The orchestrator (you) holds the +full brief in context for synthesis. + +### Phase 3 — Targeted deep-dives + +Review all agent results. Identify knowledge gaps — areas too shallow for confident +planning. Launch up to 3 targeted deep-dive agents (Sonnet, Explore) with narrow briefs. + +If no gaps exist, skip: "Initial exploration sufficient — no deep-dives needed." + +### Phase 4 — Synthesis + +Synthesize all findings: +1. Merge overlapping discoveries +2. Resolve contradictions between agents +3. Build complete codebase mental model +4. Catalog reusable code +5. Integrate research findings (mark source: codebase vs. research) +6. **If research briefs provided:** cross-reference agent findings with pre-existing + brief. Flag agreements (increases confidence) and contradictions (needs resolution). + Incorporate brief recommendations into planning context. +7. Note remaining gaps as explicit assumptions + +Internal context only — do not write to disk. + +### Phase 5 — Deep planning + +Read the spec file for requirements context. +Read the plan template from the plugin templates directory. + +Write a comprehensive implementation plan including: +- Context, Codebase Analysis, Research Sources (if applicable) +- Implementation Plan (ordered steps with file paths, changes, reuse) +- Alternatives Considered, Risks and Mitigations +- Test Strategy (if test-strategist was used) +- Verification (concrete commands), Estimated Scope + +### Failure recovery (REQUIRED for every step) + +Each implementation step MUST include: + +- **On failure:** — what to do when verification fails. Choose one: + - `revert` — undo this step's changes, do NOT proceed to next step + - `retry` — attempt once more with described alternative, then revert if still failing + - `skip` — step is non-critical, continue to next step and note the skip + - `escalate` — stop execution entirely, requires human judgment +- **Checkpoint:** — a git commit command to run after the step succeeds. + Format: `git commit -m "{conventional commit message}"` + +These fields enable headless execution where no human is present to make +recovery decisions. Default to `revert` when uncertain — it is always safe. + +### Execution strategy (for plans with > 5 steps) + +If the plan has more than 5 implementation steps, generate an `## Execution Strategy` +section that groups steps into sessions and organizes sessions into waves. + +**Analysis:** +1. For each step, extract the files from its `Files:` field +2. Build a file-overlap graph: two steps share a file → they are dependent +3. Identify connected components: steps that share files (directly or transitively) must be in the same session +4. Group connected components into sessions of 3–5 steps each +5. Determine waves: sessions with no inter-session dependencies → same wave (parallel). Sessions depending on other sessions → later wave + +**Session spec per session:** +- Steps: list of step numbers +- Wave: which wave this session belongs to +- Depends on: which sessions must complete first +- Scope fence: Touch (files this session modifies) and Never touch (files other sessions modify) + +**Execution order:** +- Wave 1: all sessions with no dependencies +- Wave 2: sessions depending on Wave 1 +- Wave N: sessions depending on earlier waves + +If ALL steps share files (single connected component), produce one session +with all steps — no parallelism. This is fine. + +If the plan has ≤ 5 steps, omit the Execution Strategy section entirely. + +Write the plan to the destination path provided in your input. +Create directories if needed. + +### Phase 6 — Adversarial review + +Launch two review agents **in parallel**: + +- `plan-critic` — find missing steps, wrong ordering, fragile assumptions, + missing error handling, scope creep, underspecified steps +- `scope-guardian` — verify plan matches spec requirements, find scope + creep and scope gaps, validate file/function references + +After both complete: +- Address all blockers and major issues by revising the plan +- Add a "Revisions" note at the bottom documenting changes + +### Phase 7 — Completion + +When done, your output message should contain: + +``` +## Ultraplan Complete (Background) + +**Task:** {task} +**Plan:** {plan path} +**Spec:** {spec path} +**Exploration:** {N} agents ({N} specialized + {N} deep-dives + {research status}) +**Scope:** {N} files to modify, {N} to create — {complexity} +**Review:** {critic verdict} / {guardian verdict} + +### Key decisions +- {Decision 1} +- {Decision 2} + +### Steps ({N} total) +1. {Step 1} +2. {Step 2} +... + +You can: +- Review the full plan at {plan path} +- Ask questions or request changes +- Say "execute" to implement +- Say "execute with team" for parallel Agent Team implementation +- Say "save" to keep for later +``` + +## Rules + +- **Scope:** Only explore the current working directory.

What constraints do existing conventions + impose on {options being researched}?" + +**Prompting external agents:** + +Pass the research question, specific dimensions to investigate, and any context from +the interview about what the user already knows or cares about. + +**Prompting gemini-bridge:** + +Pass the research question as-is. Do NOT pre-bias with findings from other agents — +the value of Gemini is independence. + +### Phase 3 — Targeted follow-ups + +Review all agent results.

Ask **one question at a time**. + +The interview is shorter than ultraplan's (2-4 questions, not 3-8) because research +is more focused than planning. + +### Interview flow + +**Start with the research question itself.** If the user provided a clear, specific +question, you may skip directly to follow-ups. + +**Core questions (pick 2-4 based on clarity of initial question):** + +1. **Decision context:** "What decision does this research feed? Are you evaluating + options, investigating feasibility, or building understanding?" + *Skip if the question itself makes this obvious.* + +2. **Dimensions:** "Are there specific aspects you care about most? (e.g., performance, + security, migration cost, team learning curve)" + *Skip if the question is narrow enough that dimensions are obvious.* + +3. **Prior knowledge:** "What do you already know about this topic? What have you + tried or ruled out?" + *Always useful — prevents redundant research.* + +4. **Constraints:** "Are there constraints that should guide the research? + (e.g., must be open-source, must support X, budget limitations)" + *Skip if no constraints are apparent.* + +**Rules:** +- If the user says "just research it", "skip", or similar — stop interviewing. + Use the research question as-is. +- For `--quick` mode: ask 1-2 questions maximum. +- Never ask about things you can discover from the codebase. + +### Determine research dimensions + +Based on the interview, identify 3-8 research dimensions. These are the facets +of the question that will be investigated in parallel. Examples: + +- "Should we use Redis?" → dimensions: performance, reliability, operational + complexity, security, cost, team familiarity +- "How should we handle auth?" → dimensions: standards compliance, implementation + complexity, library ecosystem, security posture, scalability + +Report dimensions: +``` +Research dimensions identified: +1. {Dimension 1} +2. {Dimension 2} +... +``` + +## Phase 3 — Background transition + +**If execution = foreground or mode = quick:** Skip this phase.

The instructions are identical regardless of context.** + +--- + +## Phase 3.5 — Quick mode (inline research) + +**Skip this phase entirely unless mode = quick.** + +For quick mode, do NOT launch an agent swarm. Instead, do lightweight research +directly using available tools. + +### Quick local research (if scope includes local) + +- `Glob` for files matching key terms from the research question (up to 3 patterns) +- `Grep` for relevant definitions, patterns, or usage (up to 5 patterns) +- Read the 2-3 most relevant files found + +### Quick external research (if scope includes external) + +Use available search tools directly (in this priority order): +1. `mcp__tavily__tavily_search` — if available, use for 2-3 targeted queries +2. `WebSearch` — fallback for 2-3 targeted queries +3. `WebFetch` — fetch 1-2 specific pages if URLs were found + +### Quick synthesis + +Synthesize findings inline. Write a lightweight research brief to the destination +path, following the research-brief-template but with shorter sections and fewer +dimensions. + +Skip to Phase 8 (stats tracking) after writing the brief. + +## Phase 4 — Parallel research (agent swarm) + +**Determine which agents to launch based on scope:** + +### Local agents (scope = both or local) + +Reuse existing plugin agents with research-focused prompts. These agents are +designed for planning, but work equally well for research when prompted differently. + +| Agent | Purpose in research context | +|-------|----------------------------| +| `architecture-mapper` | How the architecture relates to the research question | +| `dependency-tracer` | Dependencies and integrations relevant to the topic | +| `task-finder` | Existing code that relates to the research question | +| `git-historian` | Recent changes and ownership relevant to the topic | +| `convention-scanner` | Coding patterns relevant to evaluating options | + +For each local agent, prompt with the research question, NOT a task description: + +- architecture-mapper: "Analyze the architecture relevant to this research question: + {question}.

What has changed recently in related areas?" +- convention-scanner: "Discover coding conventions relevant to evaluating {question}. + What patterns would a solution need to follow?" + +### External agents (scope = both or external) + +Launch the new research-specialized agents: + +| Agent | Purpose | +|-------|---------| +| `docs-researcher` | Official documentation, RFCs, vendor docs | +| `community-researcher` | Real-world experience, issues, blog posts | +| `security-researcher` | CVEs, audit history, supply chain risks | +| `contrarian-researcher` | Counter-evidence, overlooked alternatives | + +For each external agent, pass: the research question, specific dimensions to +investigate, and any context from the interview. + +### Bridge agent (scope = both or external, if enabled) + +Launch `gemini-bridge` with the research question. Do NOT include findings from +other agents — the value of Gemini is independence. + +### Launch rules + +- Launch ALL selected agents **in parallel** in a single message +- Use model: "sonnet" for all sub-agents (the orchestrator runs on Opus) +- Scale maxTurns by codebase size for local agents (same as ultraplan): + small = halved, medium/large = default +- convention-scanner: medium+ codebases only (50+ files) + +## Phase 5 — Targeted follow-ups + +Review all agent results.

Maximum 2 follow-ups. + +If no gaps exist, skip: "Initial research sufficient — no follow-ups needed." + +## Phase 6 — Triangulation + +This is the KEY phase that makes ultraresearch more than aggregation. + +For each research dimension: + +1. **Collect** — gather relevant findings from local AND external agents +2. **Compare** — do local findings agree with external findings? +3. **Flag contradictions** — where they disagree, present both sides with evidence +4. **Cross-validate** — use codebase facts to validate external claims: + - External says "library X is fast" → local shows the codebase already uses + a similar pattern that could benchmark against + - External says "pattern Y is best practice" → local shows the codebase uses + pattern Z which conflicts +5. **Rate confidence** per dimension: + - **high** — multiple authoritative sources agree, local evidence confirms + - **medium** — good sources but limited cross-validation + - **low** — single source, limited evidence + - **contradictory** — credible sources actively disagree + +Compute overall confidence as a weighted average (0.0-1.0) based on dimension +confidence levels and their relative importance. + +## Phase 7 — Synthesis and brief writing + +Read the research brief template: +@${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/research-brief-template.md + +Write the research brief following the template. Key rules: + +1. **Executive Summary** — 3 sentences.

Sessions with no dependencies + or whose dependencies are all in earlier waves can run in the same wave. +2. **Each wave waits for completion** before the next wave starts. +3. **Verification runs after each wave** — if verification fails, the script + stops and reports which session failed. +4. **Log each session** to a separate file for debugging. +5. **Use `claude -p`** with the session spec file as the prompt. +6. **Use `--dangerously-skip-permissions`** rather than `--allowedTools` — the + executor needs flexible tool access and enumerating every tool is fragile. +7. **Final verification** at the end runs the master plan's verification section. +8. **Never include secrets** in the generated script. +9. **Wave verification must be independent.** After each wave completes, run + verification commands fresh via Bash — never parse session log files as proof + of success. Log files contain executor self-reporting, not ground truth. The + command's exit code is the only authoritative verification signal. +10. **Billing preamble.** Prepend `unset ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` with a comment at + the top of the script to prevent accidental API billing. Users who intend + to use API credits can remove this line. +11. **Worktree isolation is mandatory.** Every parallel wave MUST use git + worktrees. Each session gets its own worktree and branch. Never launch + parallel `claude -p` sessions in the same working directory. +12. **Cleanup trap on EXIT.** The generated script MUST include a `trap` on + EXIT that removes all worktrees (`git worktree remove --force`) and prunes + branches, even if the script fails or is interrupted. +13. **Sequential merge after each wave.** After all sessions in a wave complete, + merge their branches back to the main branch one at a time. Abort on merge + conflict — do not force-resolve. +14. **Clean working tree before worktrees.** Add a `git status --porcelain` + check at the top of the script. Fail if the working tree is dirty. +15. **Absolute paths for logs.** Log file paths must be absolute (resolved from + `$REPO_ROOT`), not relative to any worktree. diff --git a/templates/plan-template.md b/templates/plan-template.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..0529882 --- /dev/null +++ b/templates/plan-template.md @@ -0,0 +1,195 @@ +# {Task Title} + +> **Plan quality: {grade}** ({score}/100) — {APPROVE | APPROVE_WITH_NOTES | REVISE | REPLAN} +> +> Generated by ultraplan-local v{version} on {YYYY-MM-DD} + +## Context + +Why this change is needed.
