**Starting task**: "WebSocket connections sometimes drop messages during reconnection"

Check for race conditions between disconnect handler and message queue.

Look at git blame for recent changes to reconnection logic."

72

73

## Setting Up Worktree Config
|
|
10
|
+
|
|
11
|
+
Analyze the project to determine what gitignored files/directories agents need. Create `.sisyphus/worktree.json`:
|
|
12
|
+
|
|
13
|
+
### Config Format
|
|
14
|
+
|
|
15
|
+
```json
|
|
16
|
+
{
|
|
17
|
+
"copy": [],
|
|
18
|
+
"clone": [],
|
|
19
|
+
"symlink": [],
|
|
20
|
+
"init": ""
|
|
21
|
+
}
|
|
22
|
+
```
|
|
23
|
+
|
|
24
|
+
**Fields:**
|
|
25
|
+
- `copy` — Files/dirs to copy from main worktree (e.g., `.env`, `.env.local`). Use for small files that may need per-worktree modifications.
|
|
26
|
+
- `clone` — Files/dirs to APFS copy-on-write clone (e.g., `node_modules`, `vendor`, `target`). Near-zero cost on macOS. Falls back to regular copy on other systems. Use for large directories.
|
|
27
|
+
- `symlink` — Files/dirs to symlink from main worktree. Use for things that should stay in sync across all worktrees.
|
|
28
|
+
- `init` — Shell command to run after worktree setup (e.g., `npm install`, `pip install -e .`, `cargo build`). Runs with cwd set to the worktree. Failures are logged but don't block agent startup.
|
|
29
|
+
|
|
30
|
+
**Note:** `.sisyphus` and `.claude` directories are ALWAYS symlinked automatically — you don't need to include them.
|
|
31
|
+
|
|
32
|
+
### Analysis Checklist
|
|
33
|
+
|
|
34
|
+
Scan the project root for gitignored files that agents will need:
|
|
35
|
+
|
|
36
|
+
1. **Environment files**: `.env`, `.env.local`, `.env.development` — usually `copy` (agents may need different ports)
|
|
37
|
+
2. **Dependencies**: `node_modules`, `vendor`, `target`, `.venv`, `__pycache__` — use `clone` for large dirs
|
|
38
|
+
3. **Build artifacts**: `dist`, `.next`, `build`, `.turbo` — usually `clone` for warm cache, or skip and let `init` rebuild
|
|
39
|
+
4. **Tool config**: `.eslintcache`, `.pretterircache`, `.tsbuildinfo` — usually skip, tools regenerate
|
|
40
|
+
5. **Other dotfiles**: Check what exists at root. Err on the side of including too much rather than too little.
|
|
41
|
+
|
|
42
|
+
### Example Configs

|
+
{
|
|
47
|
+
"copy": [".env", ".env.local"],
|
|
48
|
+

+
|
|
62
|
+

|
63
|
+
```json
|
|
64
|
+
{
|
|
65
|
+
"copy": [".env"],
|
|
66
|
+
"clone": [".venv"],
|
|
67
|
+
"init": "source .venv/bin/activate && pip install -e ."
|
|
68
|
+
}
|
|
69
|
+
```
|
|
70
|
+
|
|
71
|
+
**Rust:**
|
|
72
|
+
```json
|
|
73
|
+
{
|
|
74
|
+
"clone": ["target"],
|
|
75
|
+
"init": "cargo build"
|
|
76
|
+
}
|
|
77
|
+
```
|
|
78
|
+
|
|
79
|
+
**No dependencies (simple project):**
|
|
80
|
+
```json
|
|
81
|
+
{
|
|
82
|
+
"copy": [".env"]
|
|
83
|
+
}
|
|
84
|
+
```
|
|
85
|
+
|
|
86
|
+
## Handling Merge Conflicts
|
|
87
|
+
|
|
88
|
+
When the daemon merges agent branches back, conflicts appear in the `## Worktrees` section of your state block. For each conflicting agent you'll see:
|
|
89
|
+
- The branch name (still exists, unmerged)
|
|
90
|
+
- The worktree path (still exists on disk)
|
|
91
|
+
- The conflict details (git merge stderr output)
|
|
92
|
+
|
|
93
|
+
**Resolution approaches:**
|
|
94
|
+
1. **Spawn a resolution agent** in the conflicting worktree to manually resolve and commit
|
|
95
|
+
2. **Rebase the branch** onto current HEAD and resolve conflicts
|
|
96
|
+
3. **Cherry-pick specific commits** instead of merging the whole branch
|
|
97
|
+
4. **Discard the branch** if the work can be redone more cleanly
|
|
98
|
+
|
|
99
|
+
After resolution, the branch can be merged manually or left for the next cycle's automatic merge attempt.
|
|
100
|
+
|
|
101
|
+
## When to Use Worktrees
|
|
102
|
+
|
|
103
|
+
**Use `--worktree`** when:
|
|
104
|
+
- Multiple agents will work on different features that touch overlapping files
|
|
105
|
+
- Agents need to make structural changes (renames, moves, deletes)
|
|
106
|
+
- The task involves feature branches that should be independently testable
|
|
107
|
+
|
|
108
|
+
**Skip `--worktree`** when:
|
|
109
|
+
- Agents work on completely separate files with no overlap
|
|
110
|
+
- Quick fixes or single-file changes
|
|
111
|
+
- Agents only read code (exploration, review)

# Orchestration Patterns
|
|
8
|
+
|
|
9
|
+
How to structure sisyphus sessions for common task types. This skill helps the orchestrator break work into tasks, choose agent types, sequence cycles, and handle failures.
|
|
10
|
+
|
|
11
|
+
## Core Principles
|
|
12
|
+
|
|
13
|
+
1. **plan.md is the orchestrator's memory.** plan.md and agent reports persist across cycles — they're all you have. Keep plan.md current and specific enough that a fresh orchestrator can pick up where you left off.
|
|
14
|
+
|
|
15
|
+
2. **Agents are disposable.** Each agent gets one focused instruction. If it fails or the scope changes, spawn a new one — don't try to redirect a running agent.
|
|
16
|
+
|
|
17
|
+
3. **Parallelize when independent.** If two tasks don't share files or depend on each other's output, spawn agents for both in the same cycle.
|
|
18
|
+
|
|
19
|
+
4. **Validate at boundaries.** After each logical phase completes, spawn a validation agent before moving on. Catching problems early prevents cascading rework.
|
|
20
|
+
|
|
21
|
+
5. **Reports are handoffs.** Agent reports should contain everything the next cycle's orchestrator needs — what was done, what was found, what's unresolved, where artifacts were saved.
|
|

+

## Bug Fix
|
|
8
|
+
|
|
9
|
+
### When to use
|
|
10
|
+
Something is broken. User reports a bug, test is failing, behavior is wrong.
|
|
11
|
+
|
|
12
|
+
### Plan structure
|
|

## Bug Fix: [description]
|
|
15
|
+
|
|
16
|
+
- [ ] Diagnose root cause of [bug description]
|
|
17
|
+
- [ ] Implement fix for [root cause]
|
|
18
|
+
- [ ] Validate fix — regression tests pass, bug is resolved
|
|
19
|
+
- [ ] Review fix for unintended side effects
|
|
20
|
+
```
|
|
21
|
+
|
|
22
|
+
### Cycle plan
|
|
23
|
+
- **Cycle 1**: Spawn `sisyphus:debug` for diagnosis. Yield.
|
|
24
|
+
- **Cycle 2**: Read diagnosis report. If confident root cause found, spawn `sisyphus:implement` for fix with the diagnosis as context. Yield.
|
|
25
|
+
- **Cycle 3**: Spawn `sisyphus:validate` for validation. Yield.
|
|
26
|
+
- **Cycle 4**: If validation passes, spawn `sisyphus:review` for review. If fails, update plan with failure context and respawn implement. Yield.
|
|
27
|
+
- **Cycle 5**: Review results. Complete or address review findings.
|
|
28
|
+
|
|
29
|
+
### Failure modes
|
|
30
|
+
- **Debug inconclusive**: Add more context to plan, respawn debug with narrower scope or different focus areas.
|
|
31
|
+
- **Fix breaks other things**: Validation catches this. Feed validation failures back into a new implement cycle.
|
|
32
|
+
- **Root cause was wrong**: Update plan with what was learned, respawn debug.
|
|
33
|
+
|
|
34
|
+
### Parallelization
|
|
35
|
+
Usually serial — diagnosis must complete before fix, fix before validation. Exception: if the bug affects multiple independent areas, spawn multiple debug agents in parallel.
|
|

## Feature Build (Small — 1-3 files)
|
|
40
|
+
|
|
41
|
+
### When to use
|
|
42
|
+
Clear requirements, small scope, no spec needed.
|
|
43
|
+
|
|
44
|
+
### Plan structure

48
|
+
- [ ] Plan implementation for [feature]
|
|
49
|
+
- [ ] Implement [feature]
|
|

|
+
- [ ] Validate implementation
|
|
51
|
+
```
|
|
52
|
+
|
|
53
|
+
### Cycle plan
|
|
54
|
+
- **Cycle 1**: Spawn `sisyphus:plan` for planning. Yield.
|
|
55
|
+
- **Cycle 2**: Spawn `sisyphus:implement` with plan path. Yield.
|
|
56
|
+
- **Cycle 3**: Spawn `sisyphus:validate` for validation. Yield.
|
|
57
|
+
- **Cycle 4**: Complete or fix issues.
|
|
58
|
+
|
|
59
|
+
### Parallelization
|
|
60
|
+
Serial. Too small to benefit from parallel agents.

### Spec & Planning
|
|
74
|
+
- [ ] Draft spec — investigate codebase, propose approach
|
|
75
|
+
- [ ] Create implementation plan from spec
|
|
76
|
+
- [ ] Review plan against spec
|
|
77
|
+
|
|
78
|
+
### Implementation
|
|
79
|
+
- [ ] Phase 1 — [foundation/types/interfaces]
|
|
80
|
+
- [ ] Phase 2 — [core logic]
|
|
81
|
+
- [ ] Phase 3 — [integration/wiring]
|
|
82
|
+
|
|
83
|
+
### Validation
|
|
84
|
+
- [ ] Validate full implementation
|
|
85
|
+
- [ ] Review implementation
|
|
86
|
+
```
|
|
87
|
+
|
|
88
|
+
### Cycle plan
|
|
89
|
+
- **Cycle 1**: Spawn `sisyphus:spec-draft` for spec. Yield. (Human iterates on spec between cycles.)
|
|
90
|
+
- **Cycle 2**: Spawn `sisyphus:plan` for plan. Yield.
|
|
91
|
+
- **Cycle 3**: Spawn `sisyphus:review-plan` for review. If fail, respawn plan with issues. Yield.
|
|
92
|
+
- **Cycle 4**: Spawn `sisyphus:implement` for Phase 1. Yield.
|
|
93
|
+
- **Cycle 5**: Spawn `sisyphus:implement` for Phase 2 + `sisyphus:validate` for Phase 1 (parallel if independent). Yield.
|
|
94
|
+
- **Cycle 6-8**: Continue phases, validate, review.
|
|
95
|
+
|
|
96
|
+
### Failure modes
|
|
97
|
+
- **Spec needs human input**: Mark session as needing human review. Orchestrator notes open questions.
|
|
98
|
+
- **Plan fails review**: Feed review issues back, respawn planner.
|
|
99
|
+
- **Phase fails validation**: Feed specifics back to implement agent for that phase only.
|
|
100
|
+
|
|
101
|
+
### Parallelization
|
|
102
|
+
Phases without dependencies can run in parallel. Types/interfaces (Phase 1) must complete before implementation phases that consume them.

|
|
107
|
+
|
|
108
|
+
### When to use
|
|
109
|
+
Cross-cutting feature, multiple domains, needs team coordination.

### Spec & Planning
|
|
116
|
+
- [ ] Draft spec
|
|
117
|
+
- [ ] Create master implementation plan
|
|
118
|
+
- [ ] Review plan against spec
|
|
119
|
+
- [ ] Define behavioral test properties
|
|
120
|
+
|
|
121
|
+
### Implementation
|
|
122
|
+
- [ ] Phase 1 — [domain A foundation]
|
|
123
|
+
- [ ] Phase 2 — [domain B foundation]
|
|
124
|
+
- [ ] Phase 3 — [domain A implementation]
|
|
125
|
+
- [ ] Phase 4 — [domain B implementation]
|
|
126
|
+
- [ ] Phase 5 — [integration layer]
|
|
127
|
+
|
|
128
|
+
### Validation
|
|
129
|
+
- [ ] Validate full implementation
|
|
130
|
+
- [ ] Review implementation
|
|
131
|
+
- [ ] Adversarial validation against test spec
|
|
132
|
+
```
|
|
133
|
+
|
|
134
|
+
### Cycle plan
|
|
135
|
+
- **Cycle 1**: Spawn `sisyphus:spec-draft` for spec. Yield.
|
|
136
|
+
- **Cycle 2**: Spawn `sisyphus:plan` for plan + `sisyphus:test-spec` for test properties (parallel). Yield.
|
|
137
|
+
- **Cycle 3**: Spawn `sisyphus:review-plan` for review. Yield.
|
|
138
|
+
- **Cycle 4**: Spawn `sisyphus:implement` for Phase 1 + Phase 2 (parallel — independent domains). Yield.
|
|
139
|
+
- **Cycle 5**: Validate Phase 1 + Phase 2, then spawn Phase 3 + Phase 4 (parallel). Yield.
|
|
140
|
+
- **Cycle 6+**: Integration, validation, review.
|
|
141
|
+
|
|
142
|
+
### Failure modes
|
|
143
|
+
- **Integration failures**: Often means contracts between domains don't match. Spawn debug agent targeting the integration seam.
|
|
144
|
+
- **Test spec violations**: Feed specific property failures back to implement.
|
|
145
|
+
|
|
146
|
+
### Parallelization
|
|
147
|
+
Maximize. Independent domains run in parallel. Foundation phases complete before implementation phases in the same domain. Integration waits for all domain implementations.

## Refactor
|
|
152
|
+
|
|
153
|
+
### When to use
|
|
154
|
+
Restructure code without changing behavior. Move files, rename abstractions, consolidate patterns.
|
|
155
|
+
|
|
156
|
+
### Plan structure
|
|
157
|
+
```
|
|
158
|
+
## Refactor: [description]
|
|
159
|
+
|
|
160
|
+
- [ ] Analyze current structure and plan refactor
|
|
161
|
+
- [ ] Capture behavioral snapshot (existing tests + manual checks)
|
|
162
|
+
- [ ] Execute refactor phase 1 — [structural changes]
|
|
163
|
+
- [ ] Execute refactor phase 2 — [update consumers]
|
|
164
|
+
- [ ] Validate behavior preserved — all original tests pass
|
|
165
|
+
- [ ] Review for missed references, dead code, broken imports
|
|
166
|
+
```
|
|
167
|
+
|
|
168
|
+
### Cycle plan
|
|
169
|
+
- **Cycle 1**: Spawn `sisyphus:plan` for analysis + `sisyphus:validate` to capture baseline (parallel). Yield.
|
|
170
|
+
- **Cycle 2**: Spawn `sisyphus:implement` for phase 1. Yield.
|
|
171
|
+
- **Cycle 3**: Spawn `sisyphus:implement` for phase 2 + `sisyphus:validate` for phase 1 (parallel). Yield.
|
|
172
|
+
- **Cycle 4**: Spawn `sisyphus:validate` for full validation. Yield.
|
|
173
|
+
- **Cycle 5**: Spawn `sisyphus:review` for final review. Complete.
|
|
174
|
+
|
|
175
|
+
### Key principle
|
|
176
|
+
**Behavior preservation is the only metric.** The refactor is correct if and only if all existing tests pass and externally observable behavior is unchanged.
|
|
177
|
+
|
|
178
|
+
### Parallelization
|
|
179
|
+
Limited. Refactor phases are often sequential (move before update consumers). Validation can run in parallel with the next phase if they touch different files.

## Code Review
|
|
184
|
+
|
|
185
|
+
### When to use
|
|
186
|
+
PR review, pre-merge check, or periodic quality audit.
|
|
187
|
+
|
|
188
|
+
### Plan structure
|
|
189
|
+
```
|
|
190
|
+
## Review: [scope]
|
|
191
|
+
|
|
192
|
+
- [ ] Review [scope] for issues
|
|
193
|
+
- [ ] (conditional) Fix critical/high issues found
|
|
194
|
+
- [ ] (conditional) Re-review fixes
|
|
195
|
+
```
|
|
196
|
+
|
|
197
|
+
### Cycle plan
|
|
198
|
+
- **Cycle 1**: Spawn `sisyphus:review` for review. Yield.
|
|
199
|
+
- **Cycle 2**: If critical/high issues, spawn `sisyphus:implement` for fixes. If clean, complete.
|
|
200
|
+
- **Cycle 3**: Spawn `sisyphus:review` for re-review (targeted at fixes only). Complete.
|
|
201
|
+
|
|
202
|
+
### Parallelization
|
|
203
|
+
Review itself parallelizes internally (subagents per concern). Fix cycle is usually serial.

## Investigation / Spike
|
|
208
|
+
|
|
209
|
+
### When to use
|
|
210
|
+
Need to understand something before committing to an approach. Prototype, explore, or answer a technical question.
|
|
211
|
+
|
|
212
|
+
### Plan structure
|
|
213
|
+
```
|
|
214
|
+
## Investigation: [question/area]
|
|
215
|
+
|
|
216
|
+
- [ ] Investigate [question/area]
|
|
217
|
+
- [ ] Summarize findings and recommendation
|
|
218
|
+
```
|
|
219
|
+
|
|
220
|
+
### Cycle plan
|
|
221
|
+
- **Cycle 1**: Spawn `sisyphus:debug` (for code investigation) or `sisyphus:general` (for broader research). Yield.
|
|
222
|
+
- **Cycle 2**: Spawn `sisyphus:general` to synthesize findings. Complete.
|
|
223
|
+
|
|
224
|
+
### Parallelization
|
|
225
|
+
If investigating multiple independent areas, spawn parallel agents each exploring a different angle.

## Tactician-Driven Implementation
|
|
230
|
+
|
|
231
|
+
### When to use
|
|
232
|
+
The plan exists and you want automated cycle-by-cycle execution without manual orchestrator decisions. The tactician reads the plan, dispatches one phase at a time, and tracks progress.
|
|
233
|
+
|
|
234
|
+
### Plan structure
|
|
235
|
+
```
|
|
236
|
+
## Tactician Execution
|
|
237
|
+
|
|
238
|
+
- [ ] Execute implementation plan at [path] using tactician loop
|
|
239
|
+
```
|
|
240
|
+
|
|
241
|
+
### Cycle plan
|
|
242
|
+
This is a single-item pattern. The orchestrator spawns the tactician once:
|
|
243
|
+
- **Cycle 1**: Spawn `sisyphus:tactician` with plan path. The tactician internally dispatches implement/validate agents via submit tool actions. The orchestrator's role is minimal — just monitor the tactician's completion report.
|
|
244
|
+
|
|
245
|
+
### When NOT to use
|
|
246
|
+
- When you need human checkpoints between phases
|
|
247
|
+
- When phases have external dependencies (waiting on API access, design review, etc.)
|
|
248
|
+
- When the task requires creative decisions the tactician shouldn't make alone
