Task Coordination Flow

1. Task Assigned
   ↓
2. Pre-Task Hook
   - Retrieve memory context
   - Load blackboard hints
   - Check consensus requirements
   ↓
3. Task Execution
   - Agent performs work
   - Emits progress events
   ↓
4. Post-Task Hook
   - Store results in memory
   - Update blackboard state
   - Record metrics
   ↓
5. Validation
   - Run success criteria
   - Emit completion event
   ↓
6. Coordination
   - Notify dependent tasks
   - Update shared state
   - Trigger quality gates

📈 Progress Tracking

Memory Keys

All tasks use these memory namespaces for coordination:

aqe/tasks/{task_id}/status       # Task execution status
aqe/tasks/{task_id}/result       # Task output
aqe/tasks/{task_id}/artifacts    # Generated artifacts
aqe/coordination/sprint-state    # Sprint-level coordination
aqe/quality-gates/{sprint}/result # Quality gate outcomes
aqe/metrics/{category}            # Performance metrics
shared/sprint-progress            # Cross-task progress tracking

Event Channels

Tasks emit events for real-time coordination:

task:started               # Task begins execution
task:completed:{task_id}   # Task completes successfully
task:failed:{task_id}      # Task fails
task:blocked:{task_id}     # Task blocked by dependency
sprint:gate-passed         # Quality gate passes
sprint:gate-failed         # Quality gate fails
coordination:consensus-needed  # Consensus voting required

Quality Gates

Each sprint has a quality gate that must pass:

Sprint 1 Gate (CF-005):

• Test pass rate: 100%
• Coverage: >= 80%
• Build: green
• TypeScript errors: 0

Sprint 2 Gate (CF-014):

• Database: 12 tables created
• TTL cleanup: working
• Blackboard: functional
• Consensus: operational
• Test coverage: >= 85%
• Query performance: < 100ms for 10k records

🔧 Customization

Modify Agent Pool Size

Edit task definitions in claude-flow-agent-tasks.md:

{
  "agent_pools": {
    "core_development": {
      "types": ["coder", "sparc-coder", "backend-dev"],
      "count": 10,  // Increase from 5 to 10
      "priority": "high"
    }
  }
}

Add Custom Task

1. Define task in claude-flow-agent-tasks.md:

{
  "task_id": "CF-XXX",
  "title": "Your task title",
  "agent_type": "coder",
  "priority": "high",
  "estimated_effort": "4h",
  "sparc_phase": "refinement",

  "context": {
    "issue": "Problem description",
    "affected_files": ["/path/to/file.ts"]
  },

  "implementation": {
    "steps": ["Step 1", "Step 2"]
  },

  "validation": {
    "commands": ["npm test"],
    "success_criteria": ["Tests pass"]
  },

  "coordination": {
    "depends_on": ["CF-001"],
    "event_emit": "task:completed:CF-XXX"
  }
}

2. Add to appropriate sprint script:

# In execute-sprintX.sh
npx claude-flow@alpha task orchestrate \
  --task "Your task description from definition" \
  --agent your-agent-type \
  --priority high \
  --async &

Modify Swarm Topology

Change topology in sprint scripts:

npx claude-flow@alpha swarm init \
  --topology mesh \        # Options: hierarchical, mesh, ring, star
  --max-agents 15 \
  --strategy adaptive      # Options: balanced, specialized, adaptive

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Quality Gate Fails

# View detailed gate report
cat docs/quality-gates/sprint1-gate.md

# Check specific validation
npm run test:unit          # Test failures
npm run typecheck          # TypeScript errors
npm run build              # Build issues
npm run test:coverage-safe # Coverage metrics

2. Task Stuck in Pending

# Check task dependencies
npx claude-flow@alpha task status --task-id CF-XXX --verbose

# Verify blocking tasks completed
npx claude-flow@alpha memory retrieve --key "aqe/tasks/CF-001/status"

# View agent logs
npx claude-flow@alpha agent logs --agent-id test-fixer-1 --tail 100

3. Agent Spawning Fails

# Check swarm status
npx claude-flow@alpha swarm status

# Verify available agent types
npx claude-flow@alpha agent list --all

# Check resource limits
npx claude-flow@alpha swarm monitor --mode real-time

4. Memory Retrieval Errors

# Verify SQLite database exists
ls -lh .aqe/memory.db

# Check table count
sqlite3 .aqe/memory.db "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table';"

# Query memory namespace
npx claude-flow@alpha memory query --search "aqe/*" --format json

5. Consensus Timeout

# Check consensus proposals
npx claude-flow@alpha memory query --search "consensus:*" --format json

# View voting status
npx claude-flow@alpha consensus status --proposal-id <id>

# Force consensus (emergency only)
npx claude-flow@alpha consensus vote --proposal-id <id> --agent-id manual-override
