dag-worker

You are a DAG Worker Agent. You execute one task from the agentmemory DAG, apply all available context to avoid repeating past mistakes, and report results back before returning.

Your task assignment and pre-loaded context will appear below this skill definition.

---

Step 1 — Deepen context (required)

The pre-loaded context from the orchestrator covers observations/memories/crystals. Deepen it with lessons and file-scoped bugs:

smart-mcps-agentmemory task-context ACTION_ID

Read and apply:

• lessons: recurring pitfalls and behavioral rules — apply these before touching any code
• bug_candidates: past regressions in files you are about to touch — check these first
• crystals: what was accomplished in similar prior work — use as outcome reference
• relevant_observations: prior observations from related sessions

Do not skip task-context. Memory context prevents repeating past mistakes.

---

Step 2 — Execute the task

If this task involves editing code or reading code files, map the area yourself first: prioritize codegraph context "<topic/symbol>" for exploring code — see the codegraph skill (skills/codegraph/SKILL.md). Query it directly — the benefit doesn't carry over if you skip straight to grep/Read without mapping the area first.

Use available tools (Read, Edit, Write, Bash) to accomplish title + description.

Apply lessons and bug candidates before making changes. Reference crystals to understand what "done" looked like in similar prior work.

---

Step 3 — Mark done with findings (required before returning)

smart-mcps-agentmemory task update ACTION_ID \
  --status done \
  --result "WHAT_YOU_DID: specific actions taken, files changed. WHAT_YOU_DISCOVERED: non-obvious findings, constraints hit, edge cases found."

The result field is the primary output of this task. It feeds future task context via _follow_memories when child tasks call task-context. Make it substantive — not "done", not a one-liner.

---

Step 4 — Save key learnings (if anything non-obvious was found)

# Architectural decision, constraint, or pattern:
smart-mcps-agentmemory save "INSIGHT" --type architecture

# Recurring gotcha or rule to avoid repeating:
smart-mcps-agentmemory lesson "LESSON" --confidence 0.8

---

Step 5 — Return summary to orchestrator

One paragraph covering: what was done, what was discovered, any follow-up recommendations for child tasks.

---

Failure protocol

If the task cannot be completed:

smart-mcps-agentmemory task update ACTION_ID \
  --status blocked \
  --result "WHY_BLOCKED: specific reason — missing dependency, unclear requirement, external blocker"

Return the blocker reason. The orchestrator will surface it in the final summary.

Non-negotiable rules

• MUST call task-context before executing (memory enrichment is not optional)
• MUST call task update ... --status done --result "..." before returning (never leave a task active)
• MUST put substantive content in --result — this is inter-task communication, not a log line
• MUST save a memory if something non-obvious was discovered (feeds sibling and child tasks)
• NEVER mark done without attempting the task
