Creating a plan costs tokens, and if the user has insufficient funds, the UI should refuse creation. + +- The prompt input is a plain textarea. Users often omit critical constraints (for example, no location or unrealistic budgets).

Execution Engine +- **Orchestrator** – a lightweight service that reads the PlanExe JSON output, builds a task graph, and schedules work across agents. +- **Agent Types** – specialized micro‑services (e.g., data‑gathering, analysis, reporting) each exposing a standard RPC/REST interface. +- **Human‑in‑the‑Loop** – tasks marked `human_required` are routed to a task‑queue watched by human workers via the existing PlanExe UI. + +## 2.

Delegation Flow +1. **Capability Matching** – each agent registers a schema of actions it can perform. The orchestrator matches plan steps to agents based on these schemas. +2. **Task Assignment** – the orchestrator sends the task payload to the chosen agent via RPC. +3. **Result Collection** – agents return JSON results plus a confidence score. +4. **Fallback** – if no agent matches, a human ticket is created; if an agent rejects, the orchestrator retries with an alternative or escalates. +5. **Human Review** – low‑confidence or high‑impact results trigger a human approval step before continuation. + +## 4. Required Extensions +- **Capability Registry Service** – a tiny HTTP service where agents POST their `schema.json` and the orchestrator queries it. +- **Human Ticket Queue** – extend the existing PlanExe UI with a task list (`/tasks`) that shows pending human‑required steps. +- **Result Validator** – a shared library that checks confidence thresholds and flags anomalies for review. +- **Audit Logger** – immutable log (e.g., append‑only file or simple DB) recording every task dispatch, result, and reviewer decision. + +## 5. Reporting – What the Pipeline Will Emit +- **Progress Dashboard** – real‑time status (queued, running, completed, failed) displayed in the PlanExe front‑end. +- **Intermediate Reports** – after each major milestone the orchestrator invokes `run_plan_pipeline.py` to generate updated Gantt charts, risk registers, and executive summaries. +- **Final Execution Report** – a consolidated PDF/HTML document containing: + - Execution timeline + - Deviations from the original plan + - Human decisions and rationale + - Confidence metrics per task + - Audit log reference + +## 6. Safety & Risk Mitigation +- **Explicit Risk Gates** – before any high‑impact step (budget allocation, regulatory filing) the orchestrator requires explicit human approval. +- **Audit Trail** – every action is signed with the agent’s identity and timestamped, enabling full traceability. +- **Existential‑Risk Checks** – a dedicated “risk‑assessment” agent runs scenario analysis on critical milestones and flags any existential‑risk concerns for senior review. +- **Rollback Capability** – because each milestone produces a snapshot, the plan can be rolled back to a safe state if a downstream failure is detected. + +## 7.

Most of Simon's work could have been scored in the 8–13 band, which means Minimax would happily edit once the plan is precise. The only places needing Opus/Sonnet are the giant server modules; even there, I recommend handing the plan to a cheaper model for execution after Opus writes the hit list.

Centralizing shared fragments (e.g., `PERSONA: ...`, `OUTPUT_SCHEMA: ...`) would reduce divergence. +2. **Implicit dependencies:** The code repeatedly selects prompts based on dynamic dictionaries (plan_type, purpose). There’s no single registry or validation, so adding a new purpose might silently fall back to a prompt meant for a different context. `system_prompts.jsonl` can become that registry. +3. **Length/verbosity:** The `diagnostics` prompts explicitly call out multi-LLM pipelines and second-order effects, and while that can boost quality it also raises the risk of policy breach unless the prompts are audited for disallowed content. We should treat these as high-impact instructions and version them carefully. + +## Recommendations +- Promote `docs/system_prompts.jsonl` as the canonical registry; reference it from README so new prompts get documented immediately. +- Introduce a small helper (e.g., `worker_plan_internal/prompt_registry.py`) that maps `purpose`→prompt ID and enforces usage via enums; log when a fallback prompt chain is used. +- Review the 48 `diagnostics` prompts and mark which ones are experimental vs production to avoid unreviewed escalation. +- Consider splitting prompt content from logic: move `system_prompt` strings into `.prompt` files or JSON and load them at runtime so we can update them without changing code, and track them in `system_prompts.jsonl` automatically. + +## Next steps +- Keep `system_prompts.jsonl` under version control (already in repo). +- Share this review with the prompt ops team so they can prioritize which prompts need uniform templates or policy sweeps. +- Once we have the next PlanExe plan batch, pair these prompts with the failure register to see how the system instructions shape the agent critiques. diff --git a/frontend_multi_user/railway.md b/frontend_multi_user/railway.md index 19370e67..a27f46a0 100644 --- a/frontend_multi_user/railway.md +++ b/frontend_multi_user/railway.md @@ -1,6 +1,7 @@ # Railway Configuration for `frontend_multi_user` ``` +PLANEXE_FRONTEND_MULTIUSER_PUBLIC_URL="https://home.planexe.org" PLANEXE_FRONTEND_MULTIUSER_ADMIN_PASSWORD="insert-your-password" PLANEXE_FRONTEND_MULTIUSER_ADMIN_USERNAME="insert-your-username" PLANEXE_FRONTEND_MULTIUSER_PORT="5000" @@ -9,26 +10,25 @@ PLANEXE_POSTGRES_PASSWORD="${{shared.PLANEXE_POSTGRES_PASSWORD}}" PLANEXE_AUTH_REQUIRED='true' PLANEXE_OAUTH_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID='insert-your-clientid' PLANEXE_OAUTH_GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET='insert-your-secret' -PLANEXE_PUBLIC_BASE_URL='https://home.planexe.org' PLANEXE_FRONTEND_MULTIUSER_SECRET_KEY='insert-a-long-random-secret-for-sessions' PLANEXE_STRIPE_SECRET_KEY='insert-your-secret' ``` ## Session / admin login (production) -Set **PLANEXE_FRONTEND_MULTIUSER_SECRET_KEY** to a long, random secret (e.g. `openssl rand -hex 32`).
