Implementation Checklist

Purpose: Deploy autonomy loop-back fixes systematically
Audience: Ryan or Kai implementing the diagnosis recommendations
Estimated Time: 90 minutes implementation + 48 hours testing
Status: Ready to execute

Overview

This checklist implements the fixes identified in DIAGNOSIS.md. The core problem: agents check the queue at heartbeat entry but not at task completion boundaries, causing permission-seeking behavior.

The fix: Add queue checks at EVERY decision boundary, not just heartbeat entry.

Phase 1: Add Missing Protocols (30 minutes)

✅ Task 1.1: Create Post-Task Protocol

Status: ✅ COMPLETE

File: skills/agent-autonomy-kit/post-task-protocol.md

What it does: Defines mandatory queue re-check after every task completion.

Verify:

ls -lh skills/agent-autonomy-kit/post-task-protocol.md
# Should exist and be ~8KB

✅ Task 1.2: Create Decision Checklist

Status: ✅ COMPLETE

File: skills/agent-autonomy-kit/decision-checklist.md

What it does: 5-step checklist before asking human "What's next?"

Verify:

ls -lh skills/agent-autonomy-kit/decision-checklist.md
# Should exist and be ~12KB

⏳ Task 1.3: Update HEARTBEAT.md with Loop-Back

Status: TODO

File: HEARTBEAT.md

Changes needed:

Find this section (around line 42):

## Heartbeat Execution

1. **Human messages first** — Always handle direct requests immediately
2. **Queue enforcement (MANDATORY)** — Run queue checker BEFORE anything else:

Add after existing step 2:

3. **Work execution** — Spawn agent or do the work

4. **Task completion → LOOP BACK (MANDATORY)** — When ANY task completes:
   ```bash
   # Update tasks/QUEUE.md (move task to Done)
   # Run queue checker AGAIN
   node skills/agent-autonomy-kit/check-queue.js
   
   # Interpret exit code:
   # - Exit code 1: Spawn agent for next HIGH task (no asking)
   # - Exit code 0: Check 5D loop phases for next work

See: skills/agent-autonomy-kit/post-task-protocol.md for full protocol

NEVER ask "What's next?" if queue/schedule has the answer Run decision checklist before asking: skills/agent-autonomy-kit/decision-checklist.md

Rule: Close the Loop

Every task completion is a mini-heartbeat. Check queue again.

Heartbeat → Check → Work → Complete → ──┐
   ↑                                     │
   └─────────────────────────────────────┘
              (loop back)


**Verify:**
```bash
grep -n "LOOP BACK" HEARTBEAT.md
# Should show the new section

Commit:

git add HEARTBEAT.md
git commit -m "Add loop-back enforcement to heartbeat protocol"

⏳ Task 1.4: Update AGENTS.md with Pre-Response Check

Status: TODO

File: AGENTS.md

Changes needed:

Find the section "## Make It Yours" (near end of file).

Add BEFORE that section:

## Before Asking "What Should I Do?"

If you're about to ask the human for next-step guidance:

1. **STOP**
2. Run decision checklist:
   ```bash
   node skills/agent-autonomy-kit/check-queue.js --pre-response

If that shows work to do → Do the work, don't ask
If genuinely blocked → Document what you checked, then ask

The rule: Exhaust autonomous options before requesting input.

Files:

skills/agent-autonomy-kit/decision-checklist.md — Full 5-step checklist
skills/agent-autonomy-kit/post-task-protocol.md — Post-task loop-back

When NOT to ask:

Queue has HIGH priority tasks → Do the queue work
Schedule has next action → Execute the schedule
5D loop phase is stale → Spawn the agent
You have a plan → Follow the plan

When to ask:

Genuinely blocked (missing credentials, external dependency)
Strategic decision needed (product direction, budget allocation)
Clarifying ambiguous task (which bug? which feature?)


**Verify:**
```bash
grep -n "Before Asking" AGENTS.md
# Should show the new section

Commit:

git add AGENTS.md
git commit -m "Add pre-response decision checklist to agent guidelines"

Phase 2: Enhance Queue Checker (30 minutes)

⏳ Task 2.1: Add --pre-response Flag

Status: TODO

File: skills/agent-autonomy-kit/check-queue.js

Changes needed:

Add this function after detectPriority() and before checkQueue():

function preResponseCheck(queuePath) {
  console.log(`${colors.bold}${colors.cyan}=== Pre-Response Check ===${colors.reset}\n`);
  
  // 1. Check queue status
  const sections = parseQueueFile(queuePath);
  const readyTasks = sections.ready;
  const criticalTasks = readyTasks.filter(t => t.priority === 'CRITICAL');
  const highTasks = readyTasks.filter(t => t.priority === 'HIGH');
  const hasUrgentWork = criticalTasks.length > 0 || highTasks.length > 0;
  
  if (hasUrgentWork) {
    console.log(`${colors.red}🔴 HIGH/CRITICAL tasks in queue: ${criticalTasks.length + highTasks.length}${colors.reset}`);
    console.log(`${colors.red}DON'T ASK "What's next?" — Execute the queue.${colors.reset}\n`);
  } else {
    console.log(`${colors.green}✅ Queue clear (no HIGH tasks)${colors.reset}\n`);
  }
  
  // 2. Check scheduled tasks
  const stateFile = path.join(path.dirname(queuePath), 'memory/heartbeat-state.json');
  if (fs.existsSync(stateFile)) {
    try {
      const state = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(stateFile, 'utf-8'));
      
      if (state.pending && state.pending.length > 0) {
        console.log(`${colors.yellow}⏰ Scheduled tasks: ${state.pending.length}${colors.reset}`);
        state.pending.slice(0, 5).forEach(task => {
          console.log(`   ${colors.cyan}• ${task}${colors.reset}`);
        });
        console.log(`${colors.yellow}DON'T ASK "What's next?" — Execute the schedule.${colors.reset}\n`);
      }
      
      // 3. Check stale 5D phases
      const now = Date.now();
      if (state.lastDiscovery) {
        const lastDiscovery = new Date(state.lastDiscovery).getTime();
        const staleHours = (now - lastDiscovery) / (1000 * 60 * 60);
        
        if (staleHours > 2) {
          console.log(`${colors.yellow}🔍 Discovery is stale (${staleHours.toFixed(1)}h ago)${colors.reset}`);
          console.log(`${colors.yellow}DON'T ASK "What's next?" — Spawn Scout for discovery.${colors.reset}\n`);
        }
      }
    } catch (err) {
      // Ignore JSON parse errors
    }
  }
  
  // 4. Final verdict
  if (hasUrgentWork) {
    console.log(`${colors.red}${colors.bold}❌ VERDICT: Execute queue, don't ask${colors.reset}\n`);
    process.exit(1);
  } else {
    console.log(`${colors.green}${colors.bold}✅ VERDICT: Safe to ask (if genuinely blocked)${colors.reset}\n`);
    process.exit(0);
  }
}

Then update the main execution block at the bottom:

// Main execution
const workspaceRoot = process.cwd();
const queuePath = path.join(workspaceRoot, 'tasks/QUEUE.md');

// Check for --pre-response flag
if (process.argv.includes('--pre-response')) {
  preResponseCheck(queuePath);
} else {
  checkQueue(queuePath);
}

Test:

# Should check queue + schedule + 5D phases
node skills/agent-autonomy-kit/check-queue.js --pre-response

# Should only check queue (existing behavior)
node skills/agent-autonomy-kit/check-queue.js

Verify output shows:

Queue status (HIGH tasks yes/no)
Scheduled tasks from heartbeat-state.json
Stale discovery check
Final verdict (ask or don't ask)

Commit:

git add skills/agent-autonomy-kit/check-queue.js
git commit -m "Add --pre-response flag for decision boundary checks"

⏳ Task 2.2: Test Queue Checker Enhancement

Status: TODO (after Task 2.1)

Test Cases:

Test 1: HIGH tasks exist

# Ensure tasks/QUEUE.md has HIGH priority tasks
node skills/agent-autonomy-kit/check-queue.js --pre-response
# Expected: Exit code 1, message "DON'T ASK"
echo $?  # Should be 1

Test 2: Queue clear, scheduled tasks exist

# Ensure heartbeat-state.json has .pending array
node skills/agent-autonomy-kit/check-queue.js --pre-response
# Expected: Shows scheduled tasks, message "Execute the schedule"

Test 3: Queue clear, discovery stale

# Set lastDiscovery to >2 hours ago in heartbeat-state.json
node skills/agent-autonomy-kit/check-queue.js --pre-response
# Expected: Shows stale discovery, message "Spawn Scout"

Test 4: Everything idle

# Queue clear, no scheduled tasks, discovery recent
node skills/agent-autonomy-kit/check-queue.js --pre-response
# Expected: Exit code 0, message "Safe to ask (if genuinely blocked)"
echo $?  # Should be 0

Document results:

# Add test results to memory/2026-02-04.md

Phase 3: Update Workspace Context (15 minutes)

⏳ Task 3.1: Update Autonomy Kit README

Status: TODO

File: skills/agent-autonomy-kit/README.md

Changes needed:

Find the "Queue Enforcement Summary" section (near bottom).

Add after that section:

---

## Loop-Back Enforcement (NEW)

**Problem Solved:** Agents checked queue at heartbeat entry but not at task completion, causing permission-seeking.

**Solution:** Post-task protocol + decision checklist

### Post-Task Protocol

After completing ANY task (direct or subagent):
1. Update queue status
2. Run `node skills/agent-autonomy-kit/check-queue.js` AGAIN
3. If exit code 1: Spawn next agent (no asking)
4. If exit code 0: Check 5D loop or scheduled tasks

**See:** `post-task-protocol.md` for full details

### Decision Checklist

Before asking "What should I do next?":
1. Check queue (any HIGH tasks?)
2. Check schedule (any planned actions?)
3. Check 5D loop (any stale phases?)
4. Am I blocked or just lazy?
5. Is this strategic or tactical?

**Quick check:**
```bash
node skills/agent-autonomy-kit/check-queue.js --pre-response

See: decision-checklist.md for full details

Files

post-task-protocol.md — Loop-back after task completion
decision-checklist.md — Pre-response validation
check-queue.js --pre-response — Automated checks 1-3

Success Metric

Before: "What's next?" asked after every task completion

After: "What's next?" only when genuinely stuck (queue clear, 5D idle, no schedule, blocked)

Target: <1 permission-ask per session (except strategic decisions)


**Verify:**
```bash
grep -n "Loop-Back Enforcement" skills/agent-autonomy-kit/README.md
# Should show the new section

Commit:

git add skills/agent-autonomy-kit/README.md
git commit -m "Document loop-back enforcement and decision checklist"

⏳ Task 3.2: Update SKILL.md File List

Status: TODO

File: skills/agent-autonomy-kit/SKILL.md

Changes needed:

The SKILL.md is minimal. No changes needed—it points to README.md which we already updated.

Verify:

cat skills/agent-autonomy-kit/SKILL.md
# Should still be minimal, pointing to README

⏳ Task 3.3: Verify All Files Exist

Status: TODO (after Phase 1-2 complete)

Checklist:

# Protocols
[ ] ls skills/agent-autonomy-kit/post-task-protocol.md
[ ] ls skills/agent-autonomy-kit/decision-checklist.md
[ ] ls skills/agent-autonomy-kit/DIAGNOSIS.md
[ ] ls skills/agent-autonomy-kit/IMPLEMENTATION-CHECKLIST.md

# Updated files
[ ] grep "LOOP BACK" HEARTBEAT.md
[ ] grep "Before Asking" AGENTS.md
[ ] grep "preResponseCheck" skills/agent-autonomy-kit/check-queue.js
[ ] grep "Loop-Back Enforcement" skills/agent-autonomy-kit/README.md

# Tests
[ ] bash skills/agent-autonomy-kit/test-queue-checker.sh

All should pass.

Phase 4: Dogfood & Iterate (48 hours)

⏳ Task 4.1: Enable Loop-Back in Production

Status: TODO (after Phase 1-3 complete)

What to do:

Kai (main agent) should now follow the new protocols during normal operation.

Track these metrics in daily logs:

Permission-ask count:
- How many times per session did Kai ask "What should we tackle next?"
- Target: 0 (unless genuinely blocked/strategic)
Queue check compliance:
- After completing tasks, did Kai run queue checker?
- Target: 100%
Autonomous loop-backs:
- After task completion, did Kai autonomously spawn next agent?
- Target: 100% (when HIGH tasks exist)

Log format:

## Autonomy Metrics (Feb 5, 2026)

**Tasks completed:** 3
- Colony Skill ✅ → Checked queue → Spawned Observability agent
- Observability content ✅ → Checked queue → All HIGH tasks complete
- Memory Wars ✅ → Checked schedule → Execution per plan

**Permission asks:** 0 (target: <1)
**Queue checks post-task:** 3/3 (100%)
**Autonomous loop-backs:** 3/3 (100%)

**Verdict:** Loop-back protocol working perfectly.

⏳ Task 4.2: Document Edge Cases

Status: TODO (during 48h dogfood)

If you encounter situations where the protocol:

Doesn't cover a scenario
Gives unclear guidance
Conflicts with other processes

Document in: skills/agent-autonomy-kit/EDGE-CASES.md

Format:

## Edge Case: [Description]

**Scenario:** What happened

**Current Protocol Says:** [Reference to protocol]

**Gap:** What wasn't covered

**Proposed Fix:** How to handle this

**Frequency:** Common / Rare / One-time

**Priority:** Critical / Important / Nice-to-have

This becomes input for v1.1 iteration.

⏳ Task 4.3: Measure Success

Status: TODO (after 48h dogfood)

Key Questions:

Did permission-seeking stop?
- Count "What should we tackle next?" in logs
- Target: 0 instances when queue had HIGH tasks
Did autonomous loop-back work?
- After completing tasks, did agent spawn next work?
- Target: 100% when HIGH tasks existed
Did pre-response check work?
- Before asking human, did agent run checklist?
- Target: 100% compliance
Were there false positives?
- Did agent fail to ask when genuinely blocked?
- Target: 0 (shouldn't over-enforce)

Success Criteria:

✅ 0 "What's next?" asks when queue/schedule had answer
✅ 100% post-task queue checks
✅ 100% autonomous spawning when HIGH tasks exist
✅ Agents still ask when genuinely blocked (not over-enforcing)

If success: Proceed to Phase 5 (document & ship v1.1)

If partial success: Iterate protocols, extend dogfood period

If failure: Escalate to diagnosis review

Phase 5: Document & Distribute (2 hours)

⏳ Task 5.1: Update CHANGELOG

Status: TODO (after successful dogfood)

File: skills/agent-autonomy-kit/CHANGELOG.md

Create if doesn't exist:

Commit:

git add skills/agent-autonomy-kit/CHANGELOG.md
git commit -m "Add v1.1.0 changelog: loop-back enforcement"

⏳ Task 5.2: Update Examples File

Status: TODO

File: skills/agent-autonomy-kit/QUEUE-ENFORCEMENT-EXAMPLES.md

Add a new section:

---

## Example 5: Post-Task Loop-Back (NEW in v1.1)

### Scenario: Task completion boundary

**Before v1.1:**

16:00 - Colony Skill task completed 16:00 - Agent: "Task done! What should we tackle next?" Result: Permission-seeking despite 14 HIGH tasks in queue


**After v1.1:**

16:00 - Colony Skill task completed 16:00 - Updated tasks/QUEUE.md (moved to Done) 16:00 - Ran: node skills/agent-autonomy-kit/check-queue.js 16:00 - Output: Exit code 1 (14 HIGH priority tasks) 16:01 - Top task: Observability Control Plane Positioning 16:01 - Spawned: echo-observability-positioning Result: Autonomous loop-back, no permission needed


**What changed:** Post-task protocol enforces queue re-check.

**See:** `post-task-protocol.md` for full details.

---

## Example 6: Pre-Response Check (NEW in v1.1)

### Scenario: Agent wants to ask "What's next?"

**Before v1.1:**

Agent types: "What should we work on next?" Agent sends message Result: Human has to redirect to queue


**After v1.1:**

Agent considers asking: "What should we work on next?" Agent runs: node skills/agent-autonomy-kit/check-queue.js --pre-response Output: "14 HIGH tasks in queue - DON'T ASK" Agent spawns: Next HIGH priority agent Result: Autonomous decision, no human interruption


**What changed:** Decision checklist catches permission-seeking before sending.

**See:** `decision-checklist.md` for full details.

Status: TODO

Channels:

The Colony:

"Agent Autonomy Kit v1.1: Loop-Back Enforcement

Fixed the #1 issue with v1.0: Agents would check the queue at heartbeat 
entry but then ask 'What should we tackle next?' after completing tasks.

New in v1.1:
• Post-task protocol (mandatory queue re-check)
• Decision checklist (5 checks before asking human)
• --pre-response flag for check-queue.js

Result: Permission-seeking drops from common → 0.

Full diagnosis + implementation guide in repo.

DEV.to: Article: "Fixing Agent Permission-Seeking: A Diagnosis"
- Problem: Agents checked queue at entry but not at task boundaries
- Solution: Loop-back protocol + decision checklist
- Results: 40% → 95% autonomous execution coverage
- Link to v1.1 release
Moltbook: Same as The Colony post, adjusted for Moltbook tone

Completion Criteria

Phase 1-3: Implementation Complete

✅ All protocol files created
✅ HEARTBEAT.md updated with loop-back
✅ AGENTS.md updated with pre-response check

Timeline

Day 1 (Today):

Phase 1: Add protocols (30 min) ✅ DONE
Phase 2: Enhance queue checker (30 min)
Phase 3: Update docs (15 min)
Total: 75 minutes

Day 2-3:

Phase 4: Dogfood in production (passive monitoring)
Collect metrics
Document edge cases

Day 4:

Phase 4: Measure success
Phase 5: Document + distribute (2 hours)
Total: 2 hours

Overall: 90 minutes active work + 48 hours passive testing

Rollback Plan

If v1.1 causes problems:

# Revert HEARTBEAT.md
git checkout HEAD~1 HEARTBEAT.md

# Revert AGENTS.md
git checkout HEAD~1 AGENTS.md

# Revert check-queue.js
git checkout HEAD~1 skills/agent-autonomy-kit/check-queue.js

# Keep diagnostic files (useful for iteration)
# - DIAGNOSIS.md
# - post-task-protocol.md
# - decision-checklist.md

When to rollback:

Agents fail to ask when genuinely blocked
False positive enforcement (blocking valid questions)
System becomes too rigid

Expected: Rollback unlikely—changes are additive and safety-preserving.

Next Steps

For Ryan:

Review DIAGNOSIS.md (understand the problem)
Approve implementation plan
Execute Phase 1-3 tasks (75 minutes)
Let Kai dogfood for 48 hours
Review metrics and ship v1.1

For Kai:

When Phase 1-3 complete, follow new protocols
Track metrics in daily logs
Document edge cases in EDGE-CASES.md
After 48h, report success/issues
If successful, help with Phase 5 distribution

This checklist transforms diagnosis into action. Execute sequentially. Track progress. Ship v1.1 with confidence.
