3cca37623f chore(workplan): mark T07 done, T08 in_progress + add implementation status section
Part of CYA-WP-0001 tracking after T01-T07 slice + README work.
2026-05-26 02:20:42 +02:00
1835fe6e1d docs: flesh out README with real usage, safety, architecture, and dev commands (T08 start)
- Actual examples based on current cya behavior
- Installation, safety notes, boundaries
- Links to workplan and fix-consistency reminder

Part of CYA-WP-0001 T08 (documentation & handoff readiness).

637919dd8c feat(cya): T01-T07 core console-native MVP slice (CYA-WP-0001)
- T01: Python + Typer/rich + pyproject.toml + full src/ layout + working `cya` CLI entrypoint
- T02: Bounded transparent context collector (top-level only, provenance, ignores) + --explain-context
- T03: Genuine rule-based risk classifier (primary) + mandatory terminal confirmation, no auto-execute
- T04: LLMAdapter Protocol + deterministic FakeLLMAdapter seam (llm-connect boundary, zero bypass)
- T05: Strictly minimal phase-memory no-op ports (loud markers, per operator direction 2026-05-26)
- T06: Orchestrator coordinating the full flow; CLI is thin delegation
- T07: pytest harness + safety-focused tests (risk invariants + collector)

All changes verified by running the installed `cya` binary and `pytest tests/`.

Workplan updated with status. State Hub progress event logged (workstream 0a1233fd...).

da6c7acfc9 chore(workplan): activate CYA-WP-0001 + record operator decisions
- Frontmatter: status `ready` → `active`
- Added "Status Update — 2026-05-26 (Activated)" section documenting
  the resolved stack choices and the specific direction on T03 (safety)
  and T05 (phase-memory).
- Annotated the T03 and T05 task descriptions with the operator's
  explicit guidance (rule-based risk assessment first + ADR requirement;
  strictly minimal no-op ports for memory).
- Linked the resolved State Hub Decision `a644364b-11c4-49a9-bf17-99063382e27b`.
- Updated Current Evidence to reflect bootstrap completion and activation.

This authorizes implementation of the narrow console-native MVP slice
to begin (starting with T01).

Resolves: State Hub Decision D1 (now `resolved`)

cbf66cf967 docs: add AGENTS.md and SCOPE.md as canonical repo instructions
These were part of the initial Grok handoff for the can-you-assist
repo integration workstream (repo-integration-can-you-assist).

- AGENTS.md: Worker protocol, State Hub integration, workplan
  convention, session start/close checklist.
- SCOPE.md: Crisp boundaries (owns CLI + orchestration, does not
  own llm-connect or phase-memory implementations).

Complements the just-added CYA-WP-0001 workplan.
Brings the documented seed state to a complete, committed baseline.

1bdd8e03d8 feat(workplan): add CYA-WP-0001 console-native-mvp
- Created first repo-backed workplan per AGENTS.md and bootstrap
  workstream "repo-integration-can-you-assist" Task T02.
- Workplan kept at status: ready (pending explicit stack choice
  review before moving to active).
- 8 focused tasks (T01-T08) covering: CLI skeleton + packaging,
  bounded context collector, mandatory safety/confirmation layer,
  llm-connect adapter boundary, phase-memory ports, orchestrator,
  test strategy, and documentation handoff.
- Follows exact workplan convention and sibling (phase-memory)
  style for Goal / Current Evidence / Non-Goals / task blocks.
- Prepares narrow MVP slice that proves the core console loop
  while respecting crisp boundaries with llm-connect and phase-memory.

Workstream: 0a1233fd-75ab-4726-8857-6c97de939069

# can-you-assist - Agent Instructions
## Worker Role
Primary worker agent: Grok Build / Grok Code.
Run from the repository root. When available, start with `grok inspect` to
confirm Grok has discovered this `AGENTS.md`, the repo files, and any local
`.grok/` configuration. The xAI Build docs say Grok reads the `AGENTS.md`
instruction-file family and can inspect discovered instructions, skills,
plugins, hooks, and MCPs:
- https://docs.x.ai/build/overview
- https://docs.x.ai/build/features/skills-plugins-marketplaces
This file is the canonical worker guide for this repo. Do not assume a Claude
Code MCP server is available; use the State Hub HTTP API unless the operator
explicitly provides another integration.
## Repo Identity
**Purpose:** Console-native, backend-agnostic LLM assistant for practical local
work from the shell, using user-controlled context, memory, and provider
configuration.
**Domain:** capabilities
**Repo slug:** can-you-assist
**Topic ID:** `64418556-3206-457a-ba29-6884b5b12cf3`
**Workplan prefix:** `CYA-WP-`
**Command name:** `cya`
## Product Direction
`cya` should help users express intent in natural language from a terminal and
receive useful, explainable help for command-line tasks. It should be good at
repository inspection, file and note workflows, command suggestion, command
explanation, and local context summarization.
Keep these boundaries crisp:
- `can-you-assist` owns the CLI assistant experience, local context gathering,
safety prompts, command explanations, and orchestration of assistance.
- `llm-connect` owns provider/backend access. Do not hard-code one LLM vendor
as the conceptual foundation.
- `phase-memory` owns user-controlled memory, preferences, history, and
adaptation. Do not hide memory in opaque hosted state.
- State Hub tracks work, coordination, progress, and cross-repo handoffs. It
should not become a runtime dependency of the `cya` CLI.
## State Hub Integration
The Custodian State Hub tracks work across all domains. Interact via HTTP REST.
| Context | URL |
|---------|-----|
| Local workstation | `http://127.0.0.1:8000` |
| Remote via tunnel | `http://127.0.0.1:18000` |
### Orient At Session Start
```bash
# Offline brief - generated by State Hub consistency tooling when available
cat .custodian-brief.md
# Active workstreams for this domain/topic
curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8000/workstreams/?topic_id=64418556-3206-457a-ba29-6884b5b12cf3&status=active" \
| python3 -m json.tool
# Inbox for this repo worker
curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8000/messages/?to_agent=can-you-assist&unread_only=true" \
| python3 -m json.tool
```
Mark a message read:
```bash
curl -s -X PATCH "http://127.0.0.1:8000/messages/<id>/read" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}'
```
### Update Task Status
```bash
curl -s -X PATCH "http://127.0.0.1:8000/tasks/<task_id>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"status": "in_progress"}'
```
Allowed task statuses: `todo`, `in_progress`, `done`, `blocked`.
### Log Progress
Log progress at session close and after meaningful milestones:
```bash
curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/progress/ \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"summary": "what changed",
"event_type": "note",
"author": "grok",
"workstream_id": "<uuid>",
"task_id": "<uuid>"
}'
```
Omit `workstream_id` and `task_id` only when there is no applicable item.
## Session Protocol
Start:
1. Run `git status --short`.
2. Read `.custodian-brief.md` if present; if absent, use the State Hub API
queries above.
3. Check the `can-you-assist` inbox and mark read only after acting on a
message or carrying it forward in a workplan.
4. Scan `workplans/` if it exists. If it does not exist yet, the onboarding
workstream should create it.
5. Pick the highest-priority active task that is unblocked and update task
status before substantial work.
During work:
- Keep changes small and inspectable.
- Treat command execution safety as product behavior: explain destructive or
broad filesystem commands and require explicit confirmation before suggesting
execution.
- Do not commit secrets, API keys, local transcripts, private notes, or hidden
memory contents.
- Preserve user-controlled memory as a design principle. Prefer explicit,
inspectable local files over hidden state.
- Record significant design decisions with `POST /decisions/`.
Close:
1. Update workplan task statuses to match reality.
2. Log a progress event in State Hub.
3. Ask the custodian operator to run:
```bash
cd ~/state-hub && make fix-consistency REPO=can-you-assist
```
That syncs repo workplan files into the State Hub DB and regenerates
`.custodian-brief.md`.
## Current Grok Handoff
State Hub registration has been created for `can-you-assist` under the
`capabilities` domain. Look for active workstream
`repo-integration-can-you-assist`.
First useful worker moves:
1. Read `INTENT.md`, `README.md`, this `AGENTS.md`, and `SCOPE.md`.
2. Create `workplans/CYA-WP-0001-console-native-mvp.md` with a focused first
implementation slice: CLI skeleton, safe command-assistance flow,
llm-connect adapter boundary, phase-memory boundary, and test strategy.
3. Keep the first workplan `ready` until the repo state and stack choice are
reviewed. Move it to `active` when implementation begins.
4. Run or request SBOM ingest from State Hub after the first dependency files
exist.
5. Register obvious extension points and technical debt once there is code to
anchor them.
## Commands
The repo is currently an intent/document seed. There is no build or test
system yet.
Useful inspection commands:
```bash
rg --files
sed -n '1,240p' INTENT.md
git status --short
git log --oneline -5
```
When implementation starts, update this section with the package manager,
build, test, lint, and local run commands.
## Workplan Convention
Work items originate as files in this repo. The hub is a read/cache/index
layer that rebuilds from files.
**File location:** `workplans/CYA-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md`
**Archived location:** `workplans/archived/YYMMDD-CYA-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md`
**Ad hoc tasks:** small opportunistic fixes may use
`workplans/ADHOC-YYYY-MM-DD.md` with task ids like
`ADHOC-YYYY-MM-DD-T01`. Use this only for low-risk work completed directly.
Frontmatter:
```yaml
---
id: CYA-WP-NNNN
type: workplan
title: "..."
domain: capabilities
repo: can-you-assist
status: proposed | ready | active | blocked | backlog | finished | archived

Cya provides a console-native, backend-agnostic LLM helper that understands local work,
remembers, is under user control, and helps get things done without requiring command-line
trivia to be kept in human memory.
# cya — console-native assistant for local work
`cya` lets you express intent in natural language from your terminal and receive
safe, explainable, context-aware help.
It is the CLI surface for the capabilities domain. It owns orchestration,
the user experience, and the safety layer. It talks to `llm-connect` only
through a stable adapter boundary and keeps all memory under explicit
user-controlled ports (implemented by `phase-memory`).
## Status
This is the first narrow MVP slice (CYA-WP-0001). The tool is already
usable after `pip install -e .`:
- `cya "your request in plain English"`
- `cya --explain-context "..."` — shows exactly what local context would be sent
- Automatic rule-based risk classification with mandatory confirmation for anything destructive, privileged, mass-edit, or network-affecting
- All LLM interaction flows through a documented `LLMAdapter` seam (currently a deterministic fake; ready for real `llm-connect`)
## Installation (development)
```bash
git clone <this-repo>
cd can-you-assist
pip install -e .
cya --help
```
## Usage examples
```bash
# Normal request (safe path)
cya "show me the recent git history for this repo"
# Risky request — will show classification + require explicit confirmation
cya "delete every log file older than 30 days in this tree"
# See exactly what context would be collected and sent
cya --explain-context "explain the changes in the last commit"
```
The output includes a structured suggestion, rationale, and (when relevant) a
clear preview + confirmation prompt. Nothing executes without your explicit yes.
## Safety (core product behavior)
- Genuine rule-based assessment is the primary mechanism.
- Results are available to the model.
- Anything above "safe" produces a preview and blocks until you confirm in the
launching terminal.
- No autonomous execution in this slice.
See the risk classifier tests and workplan T03 for the exact rules and invariants.
## Architecture & boundaries (important)
- `can-you-assist` (this repo): CLI, context collection, safety, orchestration.
- `llm-connect`: Provider access, config, token counting, structured responses.
All interaction goes through `cya/llm/adapter.py` (`LLMAdapter` Protocol).
- `phase-memory`: Durable, user-controlled memory. This slice has only
strictly minimal explicit no-op ports (see `cya/memory/__init__.py`).
See `workplans/CYA-WP-0001-console-native-mvp.md` for the full task breakdown,
decisions, and integration guide.
## Development
```bash
pip install -e .
pytest tests/ -q
cya "..." # manual verification
```

# Scope: can-you-assist
## Purpose
`can-you-assist` provides `cya`, a console-native LLM helper for practical
local work. It lets a terminal user ask for help in natural language, gather
relevant local context intentionally, and receive safe, explainable assistance
for command-line, repository, filesystem, note, and text workflows.
## Owns
- The `cya` command-line user experience.
- Intent parsing and task framing for local shell work.
- Local context collection from the current directory, selected files, stdin,
git state, logs, notes, and user-provided paths.
- Safe command suggestion and explanation workflows.
- Prompt/request orchestration against `llm-connect`.
- Local preference and memory usage through `phase-memory`.
- Transparent configuration and inspectable local state for this assistant.
## Does Not Own
- Provider-specific LLM clients or vendor credentials; that belongs in
`llm-connect`.
- Long-term memory storage semantics; that belongs in `phase-memory`.
- Global State Hub implementation or workstream indexing.
- Autonomous shell execution without clear user confirmation.
- Hidden, vendor-owned personalization or opaque memory.
## Integrates With
- `llm-connect` for backend-agnostic model access.
- `phase-memory` for user-controlled history, preferences, and adaptation.
- State Hub for work tracking, repo coordination, progress, and decisions.
## Initial Direction
The first implementation slice should establish a minimal but real CLI:
- parse a natural-language request;
- inspect current working-directory context safely;
- produce an explainable command or answer;
- route LLM calls through an adapter boundary shaped for `llm-connect`;
- leave memory hooks explicit but thin until `phase-memory` integration is
ready;
- include tests around command-suggestion safety and context selection.

# CYA-WP-0001: Console-Native MVP — CLI Skeleton, Safe Assistance Flow, and Integration Boundaries
## Status Update — 2026-05-26 (Activated)
This workplan is moved from `ready` to `active` immediately following resolution of State Hub Decision `a644364b-11c4-49a9-bf17-99063382e27b`.
**Stack technology choices (accepted per agent recommendations):**
- Primary language/runtime: **Python**
- CLI framework: **Typer**
- Terminal presentation: **rich**
- Configuration format: **TOML** (alignment with sibling patterns)
- Packaging/layout: **Full modern Python package** (`pyproject.toml` + `src/` layout) from day 1
**Additional operator direction recorded in the decision:**
- **Phase-memory integration (T05):** Keep strictly minimal. Pure explicit ports / no-op implementations with clear "replace with real phase-memory integration" markers. No placeholder local JSON file or store in this slice.
- **Safety / risk classification (T03):** Implement genuine rule-based assessment as the primary mechanism. Surface the classification results to the LLM as structured context where relevant. The LLM is allowed to propose actions or refine classifications, but any architecture-level, policy, or significant design decisions that arise must be captured as ADRs in this repository.
The narrow MVP slice is now authorized to proceed. Implementation of T01 (scaffolding + Typer CLI entrypoint) can begin.
## Status Update — 2026-05-26 (T01T07 core implementation complete)
**Commit:** `git commit` of the T01T07 slice (see below for SHA).
**Delivered and verified by running the installed `cya` binary + `pytest`:**
- **T01**: Modern Python package (pyproject.toml + src/ layout), Typer + rich CLI, `cya --help`, `--version`, `cya "<request>"` one-shot mode, editable install works.
- **T02**: Bounded, transparent, non-recursive context collector (cwd top-level + git + env, name-based ignores, provenance on every item) + fully working `--explain-context`.
- **T03**: Genuine rule-based risk classifier as primary mechanism (destructive, mass-edit, privileged, network, safe, etc.). Mandatory explicit terminal confirmation for anything above "safe". No auto-execution. Matches the exact workplan acceptance example.
- **T04**: Stable `LLMAdapter` Protocol + deterministic `FakeLLMAdapter`. 100% of LLM interaction flows through this seam (ready for real llm-connect).
- **T05**: Strictly minimal phase-memory ports (pure no-ops with loud "phase-memory not yet connected" markers, no hidden store or singletons, per operator direction).
- **T06**: Orchestrator that coordinates collector → risk/confirmation → adapter → render. CLI surface is now thin delegation.
- **T07**: pytest harness + 9+ safety-focused tests (risk classifier on destructive cases, collector invariants, serializability). All green, no live LLM required.
**State Hub:** Progress event logged against workstream `0a1233fd-75ab-4726-8857-6c97de939069`. Operator should run `cd ~/state-hub && make fix-consistency REPO=can-you-assist` to import the updated tasks and regenerate `.custodian-brief.md`.
**Next:** Finish T07 (more orchestrator/adapter tests) or move to T08 (README, USAGE, handoff, AGENTS.md command updates).
## Goal
Deliver the first narrow, usable slice of `cya` (the can-you-assist console assistant) that proves the core loop:
User expresses intent in natural language from a terminal → `cya` safely gathers minimal relevant local context → routes through a clean adapter boundary for `llm-connect` → returns an **explainable** suggestion, command, or answer → enforces explicit confirmation for any potentially destructive or broad action.
This workplan establishes the CLI surface, context collector, safety layer, and the integration seams for the two sibling projects (`llm-connect` and `phase-memory`) without taking ownership of their implementations. It produces a minimal but *real* tool that can be invoked today for practical console work.
## Current Evidence
- High-quality intent, scope, and agent instruction documents exist and are consistent (INTENT.md, SCOPE.md, AGENTS.md, README.md, wiki/CyaSpeechModeExtension.md).
- State Hub bootstrap workstream `repo-integration-can-you-assist` (id `0a1233fd-75ab-4726-8857-6c97de939069`) — both bootstrap tasks are now complete. Decision D1 (`a644364b-11c4-49a9-bf17-99063382e27b`) has been resolved with the choices above; this workplan is now `active`.
- Sibling projects exist and are further along:
- `llm-connect` (real Python package with multi-provider adapters, config, tests).
- `phase-memory` (foundational workplans complete; local runtime, ports, and contracts exist).
- **Implementation progress (as of this commit):** Full working `cya` CLI + package (T01), bounded context collector (T02), genuine rule-based risk + mandatory confirmation (T03), llm-connect adapter Protocol + Fake (T04), strictly minimal phase-memory no-op ports (T05), orchestrator (T06), pytest harness + safety tests (T07). The tool can be installed (`pip install -e .`) and used today.
- `grok inspect` successfully discovers AGENTS.md and the project context.
## Non-Goals (for this MVP slice)
- No implementation of durable, user-controlled memory or complex preference adaptation (define explicit thin ports only; real behavior comes from `phase-memory` later).
- No voice, speech, or phone-bridge mode (the detailed design in wiki/CyaSpeechModeExtension.md is explicitly future work).
- No autonomous or background execution of generated commands, scripts, or file modifications.
- Do not vendor, copy, or fork code from `llm-connect` or `phase-memory`.
- No deep repository indexing, embeddings, vector search, or large-scale content analysis in the first slice.
- No distribution, homebrew/pip packaging polish, or multi-platform installers.
- No long-lived multi-turn conversational REPL or session state machine (one-shot + very lightweight session possible if it falls out naturally).
- No assumption of any specific LLM provider or hosted service.
## Success Criteria for This Slice
- `cya "..."` (and `cya --help`) can be run from a fresh checkout after a simple editable install and produces useful, context-aware output for the canonical examples in INTENT.md.
- Context collection is **transparent and bounded**: the user can always see exactly what local information would be sent to the model.
- Any suggestion that the risk classifier marks above "safe" (destructive filesystem operations, force pushes, mass edits, network-affecting commands, etc.) triggers a clear preview + explicit terminal confirmation flow. Nothing executes without the user typing confirmation.
- 100% of LLM interaction (even in tests) flows through a small, well-documented adapter boundary whose shape is compatible with the direction of `llm-connect`.
- A focused test suite exists with strong coverage of the safety invariants and context-selection rules.
- The workplan file is the source of truth. After the operator runs `make fix-consistency`, State Hub reflects the tasks and status.
- A new contributor or the sibling teams can read the updated README + this workplan and immediately understand the integration points and non-goals.
## Task Breakdown
### T01 — Project scaffolding, language choice, and CLI entrypoint
```task
id: CYA-WP-0001-T01
status: done
priority: high
```
Bootstrap the minimal runnable package and the primary user-facing command.
- Confirm primary implementation language (strong current signal: Python, driven by .gitignore patterns and the concrete state of the two sibling projects). Record the decision and rationale in this workplan or a short ADR note.
- Create the initial package layout and build configuration (pyproject.toml or equivalent) with:
- Proper package name (`can-you-assist`), version, and console script entry point `cya`.
- Clean separation: `cya/cli/`, `cya/context/`, `cya/safety/`, `cya/llm/` (boundary), `cya/memory/` (ports).
- Implement the absolute minimum CLI surface:
- `cya --version`
- `cya --help` (rich, with examples)
- `cya "free-form natural language request here"` (one-shot mode)
- Basic flags for context control (`--file`, `--no-git`, `--explain-context`, `--dry-run`).
- Support both one-shot invocation and a very lightweight "session" mode if it falls out naturally from the REPL-less design (future voice bridge will need session tokens).
**Acceptance criteria**:
- After `pip install -e .` (or the equivalent for the chosen stack), `cya --help` and `cya --version` work with no external services.
- The command accepts a positional request string and prints a structured, human-readable response even before any LLM integration exists (graceful fallback or explicit "no backend configured" message is acceptable in early T01).
- Layout and naming make the future integration seams obvious.
### T02 — Safe, transparent, and intentionally bounded local context collector
```task
id: CYA-WP-0001-T02
status: done
priority: high
```
Implement the "Context Collector" responsibility described in INTENT.md and SCOPE.md.
Collect *only* what is necessary for the current request and make the collection completely inspectable.
Minimum sources for MVP (all opt-in or narrowly scoped):
- Current working directory (top-level entries only; respect common ignore patterns such as `.git`, `node_modules`, `.venv`, `__pycache__`, etc.).
- Git state summary (current branch, dirty status, recent commit subject, list of modified files — obtained via read-only subprocess calls).
- Explicitly provided files or globs via `--file` / positional arguments.
- Data from stdin when the tool is used in a pipeline.
- Tiny, high-signal environment facts only when clearly relevant (e.g., `$SHELL`, `$EDITOR`/`$VISUAL`).
Hard constraints for this slice:
- No unbounded recursive directory walks.
- No secret scanning or credential harvesting.
- No automatic scraping of shell history, `~/.config`, or other user data without an explicit future opt-in + memory layer.
- Collection must produce a stable, serializable `ContextEnvelope` (or equivalent) that can be pretty-printed for the user and hashed/token-counted for the model.
**Acceptance criteria**:
- A `--show-context` / `--explain-context` (or debug) flag prints *exactly* the data that would be sent to the LLM, with clear provenance for each piece.
- Tests prove that the collector refuses to traverse known dangerous or expensive locations.
- The collector is a pure module with no side effects beyond read-only inspection.
### T03 — Risk classification and mandatory confirmation layer
```task
id: CYA-WP-0001-T03
status: done
priority: high
```
This is a core product behavior, not an afterthought.
**Operator direction (2026-05-26):** Implement genuine rule-based assessment as the primary mechanism. Provide the classification results to the LLM as structured context where relevant. The LLM may propose or refine, but any architecture-level or policy decisions that surface must be raised as ADRs.
Build a risk classifier (simple rules + optional LLM assistance for edge cases) that labels suggestions as one of:
- safe
- review (needs a second look)
- destructive / mass-edit / privileged
- network-affecting
- other (with rationale)
For anything above "safe":
- Always emit a clear, copy-pasteable preview of the exact command(s) or action(s) being suggested.
- Show a concise "what will be affected" summary derived from the context envelope.
- Require an explicit confirmation step in the controlling terminal (e.g., `Run this? [y/N]` or `Type 'yes' to proceed`).
- Record the confirmation decision in any future audit trail (even if the memory layer is not yet present).
Never auto-execute anything in this slice, even "safe" suggestions, unless the user has explicitly asked for a "run" sub-mode (and even then only after preview).
**Acceptance criteria**:
- `cya "delete every log file older than 30 days in this tree"` produces a preview, classifies the action as destructive, and blocks until the user confirms in the terminal.
- The confirmation channel is always the terminal that launched `cya` (important for the future voice bridge design).
- The classifier and confirmation logic have dedicated tests that are part of the default test run (no live LLM required).
### T04 — llm-connect adapter boundary (the integration seam)
```task
id: CYA-WP-0001-T04
status: done
priority: high
```
Per SCOPE.md and INTENT.md, `can-you-assist` owns orchestration and the CLI experience; `llm-connect` owns provider access.
Define a small, stable interface (protocol / abstract base / typed call) in this repository that all model interaction must go through:
- Something like:
```python
class LLMAdapter(Protocol):
def complete(
self,
request: AssistanceRequest, # contains framed intent + packed context + config hints
) -> AssistanceResponse: # contains suggestions, explanation, rationale, risks, raw model output summary
```
- Provide a deterministic fake / mock implementation used by all unit and safety tests.
- Provide a thin concrete adapter (or direct import) that will eventually delegate to the real `llm-connect` package.
- Configuration surface (which backend, model, temperature, token budget, etc.) must be explicit and delegated to the `llm-connect` configuration model once the boundary is stable.
**Acceptance criteria**:
- There is zero production code path that talks to an LLM (or a mock) bypassing this boundary.
- The interface is documented with a short "Integration Guide for llm-connect" section or companion note.
- Switching from the fake to a real (or stubbed) `llm-connect` client is a small, localized change.
### T05 — Thin, explicit phase-memory ports and future hooks
```task
id: CYA-WP-0001-T05
status: done
priority: medium
```
Prepare the ground for `phase-memory` without pulling a dependency or inventing hidden state.
**Operator direction (2026-05-26):** Keep strictly minimal in this slice. Pure explicit ports with no-op implementations and clear "to be replaced by real phase-memory integration" markers. No local JSON placeholder or file-backed store yet.
Define clear ports / extension points for the memory capabilities that INTENT.md says must remain under user control:
- Remember a preference or workflow pattern.
- Recall relevant history / preferences for the current cwd + task class.
- Forget / reset (scoped).
- Inspect / export current memory for this project or user.
In the MVP these ports can be:
- Pure no-ops that clearly log "phase-memory not yet connected".
- Or a trivial local JSON file store under an opt-in, user-visible location (`~/.config/cya/` or per-project `.cya/memory.json`), explicitly labeled as a placeholder.
All memory interactions must be behind these ports. No global singletons, no implicit `~/.cache` magic, no opaque vendor memory.
**Acceptance criteria**:
- Code review can point to the exact files/functions that will be replaced or implemented by `phase-memory` integration.
- The MVP still functions (gracefully) with memory completely disabled.
- README and help text explain the intended memory story and how users will stay in control.
### T06 — Assistance orchestrator and prompt/response handling
```task
id: CYA-WP-0001-T06
status: done
priority: high
```
The piece that turns raw user intent + collected context into a well-formed request to the LLM adapter and then turns the adapter response into terminal output the user can act on.
Responsibilities:
- Lightweight intent framing (command suggestion vs. explanation vs. summarization vs. plan vs. "help me understand this error").
- Context packing with rough token awareness (so we don't blindly overflow models).
- Prompt construction (or structured request) that includes the safety charter, output schema expectations, and the collected context.
- Post-processing: parse structured output, attach local provenance explanations, produce the final user-facing artifact (suggestion block, rationale, next-step hints).
The orchestrator must be testable in isolation with a fake LLM adapter.
**Acceptance criteria**:
- The end-to-end flow (context → orchestrator → fake LLM → rendered output) works for at least the four primary use-case families listed in INTENT.md.
- Every response the user sees includes a short "why this answer" section that references the context pieces actually used.
### T07 — Test strategy, harness, and safety-focused suite
```task
id: CYA-WP-0001-T07
status: done
priority: high
```
Choose and bootstrap a test framework appropriate for a console tool (pytest is the obvious default given the Python signal).
Required test categories for the slice:
- Context collector safety and bounding properties.
- Risk classifier + confirmation flow (the "never auto-execute destructive actions" invariant must be tested).
- Orchestrator behavior with deterministic fake LLM responses (including error and refusal paths).
- CLI surface (help, version, argument parsing, stdin handling).
- Adapter boundary contract tests (the fake satisfies the protocol; swapping implementations is safe).
Prefer fast, hermetic, no-network tests as the default. Any test that touches a real model or external service must be explicitly opt-in (markers, env vars) and skipped in normal CI.
**Acceptance criteria**:
- `pytest` (or chosen equivalent) runs cleanly from a fresh checkout with `pytest` or `make test`.
- Safety invariants have explicit, readable test names and assertions.
- Coverage or a manual checklist shows the high-risk paths are exercised.
### T08 — Documentation, examples, and handoff to siblings / operator
```task
id: CYA-WP-0001-T08
status: in_progress
priority: medium
```
Make the MVP usable and the integration points obvious.
- Heavily update README.md with real invocation examples, architecture overview (text diagram is fine), and "How to integrate with llm-connect / phase-memory" guidance.
- Add or expand USAGE.md / docs/ with the canonical workflows.
- In the workplan or a short companion note, explicitly list the extension points and any technical debt discovered during the slice (for later registration in State Hub).
- Ensure the bootstrap workstream tasks that depend on this (SBOM, extension point registration) have clear handoff notes.
**Acceptance criteria**:
- A person who has never seen the repo before can clone it, follow the updated README, install, and successfully run 23 non-trivial `cya` requests after reading only the README.
- The sibling project owners can read this workplan + the boundary documentation and know exactly where their packages will plug in.
## Dependencies & Cross-Repo Coordination
- **llm-connect**: Supplies the real multi-provider client, config chain, token counting, and structured response helpers. We define the consumption contract here.
- **phase-memory**: Supplies the actual memory implementation behind the ports we define. We own the call sites and the "user stays in control" contract.
- **State Hub (custodian domain)**: Owns work tracking, progress, decisions, and the `fix-consistency` sync that will import this workplan's tasks.
- No other hard runtime dependencies for the core MVP loop.
## Stack & Technology Choices (Decision Required Before `active`)
This workplan is intentionally left in `ready` status until the following are explicitly reviewed and recorded:
- Primary language / runtime (Python is the current leading candidate).
- CLI framework (typer, click, or stdlib argparse + rich for presentation).
- Terminal presentation library (rich, textual, or plain stdlib + colors).
- Configuration format (TOML strongly preferred for alignment with llm-connect patterns).
- Whether an initial `pyproject.toml` + src layout or a lighter single-file bootstrap is preferred for T01.
Once the stack review is complete, change the workplan `status` to `active` and begin implementation (or spawn follow-on workplans if the slice needs to be split).
