CSV Wave Pipeline Skill

Auto Mode

When --yes or -y: Auto-confirm task decomposition, skip interactive validation, use defaults.

CSV Wave Pipeline

Usage

$csv-wave-pipeline "Implement user authentication with OAuth, JWT, and 2FA"
$csv-wave-pipeline -c 4 "Refactor payment module with Stripe and PayPal"
$csv-wave-pipeline -y "Build notification system with email and SMS"
$csv-wave-pipeline --continue "auth-20260228"

Flags:

-y, --yes: Skip all confirmations (auto mode)
-c, --concurrency N: Max concurrent agents within each wave (default: 4)
--continue: Resume existing session

Overview

Wave-based batch execution using spawn_agents_on_csv with cross-wave context propagation. Tasks are grouped into dependency waves; each wave executes concurrently, and its results feed into the next wave.

Core workflow: Decompose → Compute Waves → Execute Wave-by-Wave → Aggregate

Phase 1: Requirement → CSV
   ├─ Parse requirement into subtasks (3-10 tasks)
   ├─ Identify dependencies (deps column)
   ├─ Compute dependency waves (topological sort → depth grouping)
   ├─ Generate tasks.csv with wave column
   └─ User validates task breakdown (skip if -y)

Phase 2: Wave Execution Engine
   ├─ For each wave (1..N):
   │   ├─ Build wave CSV (filter rows for this wave)
   │   ├─ Inject previous wave findings into prev_context column
   │   ├─ spawn_agents_on_csv(wave CSV)
   │   ├─ Collect results, merge into master tasks.csv
   │   └─ Check: any failed? → skip dependents or retry
   └─ discoveries.ndjson shared across all waves (append-only)

Phase 3: Results Aggregation
   ├─ Export final results.csv
   ├─ Generate context.md with all findings
   ├─ Display summary: completed/failed/skipped per wave
   └─ Offer: view results | retry failed | done

Context Propagation

Two context channels flow across waves:

CSV findings (structured): context_from column → prev_context injection — task-specific directed context
NDJSON discoveries (broadcast): discoveries.ndjson — general exploration findings available to all

Wave 1 agents:
  ├─ Execute tasks (no prev_context)
  ├─ Write findings to report_agent_job_result
  └─ Append discoveries to discoveries.ndjson
        ↓ merge results into master CSV
Wave 2 agents:
  ├─ Read discoveries.ndjson (exploration sharing)
  ├─ Read prev_context column (wave 1 findings from context_from)
  ├─ Execute tasks with full upstream context
  ├─ Write findings to report_agent_job_result
  └─ Append new discoveries to discoveries.ndjson
        ↓ merge results into master CSV
Wave 3+ agents: same pattern, accumulated context from all prior waves

Per-Wave CSV (Temporary)

Each wave generates a temporary wave-{N}.csv with an extra prev_context column built from context_from by looking up completed tasks' findings in the master CSV:

id,title,description,test,acceptance_criteria,scope,hints,execution_directives,deps,context_from,wave,prev_context
"2","Implement OAuth","Add OAuth integration","Unit test: mock OAuth callback returns valid token","OAuth login redirects to provider; callback returns JWT","src/auth/oauth/**","Use passport.js strategy pattern || src/auth/index.ts;docs/oauth-flow.md","Run npm test -- --grep oauth","1","1","2","[Task 1] Created auth/ with index.ts and types.ts"

Shared Discovery Board Protocol

All agents across all waves share discoveries.ndjson. This eliminates redundant codebase exploration.

Lifecycle: Created by the first agent to write a discovery. Carries over across waves — never cleared. Agents append via echo '...' >> discoveries.ndjson.

Format: NDJSON, each line is a self-contained JSON:

{"ts":"2026-02-28T10:00:00+08:00","worker":"1","type":"code_pattern","data":{"name":"repository-pattern","file":"src/repos/Base.ts","description":"Abstract CRUD repository"}}
{"ts":"2026-02-28T10:01:00+08:00","worker":"2","type":"integration_point","data":{"file":"src/auth/index.ts","description":"Auth module entry","exports":["authenticate","authorize"]}}

Discovery Types:

| type | Dedup Key | Description | |------|-----------|-------------| | code_pattern | data.name | Reusable code pattern found | | integration_point | data.file | Module connection point | | convention | singleton | Code style conventions | | blocker | data.issue | Blocking issue encountered | | tech_stack | singleton | Project technology stack | | test_command | singleton | Test commands discovered |

Protocol Rules:

Read board before own exploration → skip covered areas
Write discoveries immediately via echo >> → don't batch
Deduplicate — check existing entries; skip if same type + dedup key exists
Append-only — never modify or delete existing lines

Implementation

Session Initialization

const getUtc8ISOString = () => new Date(Date.now() + 8 * 60 * 60 * 1000).toISOString()

// Parse flags
const AUTO_YES = $ARGUMENTS.includes('--yes') || $ARGUMENTS.includes('-y')
const continueMode = $ARGUMENTS.includes('--continue')
const concurrencyMatch = $ARGUMENTS.match(/(?:--concurrency|-c)\s+(\d+)/)
const maxConcurrency = concurrencyMatch ? parseInt(concurrencyMatch[1]) : 4

// Clean requirement text (remove flags — word-boundary safe)
const requirement = $ARGUMENTS
  .replace(/--yes|(?:^|\s)-y(?=\s|$)|--continue|--concurrency\s+\d+|-c\s+\d+/g, '')
  .trim()

let sessionId, sessionFolder

const slug = requirement.toLowerCase()
  .replace(/[^a-z0-9\u4e00-\u9fa5]+/g, '-')
  .substring(0, 40)
const dateStr = getUtc8ISOString().substring(0, 10).replace(/-/g, '')
sessionId = `cwp-${slug}-${dateStr}`
sessionFolder = `.workflow/.csv-wave/${sessionId}`

// Continue mode: find existing session
if (continueMode) {
  const existing = Bash(`ls -t .workflow/.csv-wave/ 2>/dev/null | head -1`).trim()
  if (existing) {
    sessionId = existing
    sessionFolder = `.workflow/.csv-wave/${sessionId}`
    // Read existing tasks.csv, find incomplete waves, resume from there
    const existingCsv = Read(`${sessionFolder}/tasks.csv`)
    // → jump to Phase 2 with remaining waves
  }
}

Bash(`mkdir -p ${sessionFolder}`)

CSV Utility Functions

// Escape a value for CSV (wrap in quotes, double internal quotes)
function csvEscape(value) {
  const str = String(value ?? '')
  return str.replace(/"/g, '""')
}

// Parse CSV string into array of objects (header row → keys)
function parseCsv(csvString) {
  const lines = csvString.trim().split('\n')
  if (lines.length < 2) return []
  const headers = parseCsvLine(lines[0]).map(h => h.replace(/^"|"$/g, ''))
  return lines.slice(1).map(line => {
    const cells = parseCsvLine(line).map(c => c.replace(/^"|"$/g, '').replace(/""/g, '"'))
    const obj = {}
    headers.forEach((h, i) => { obj[h] = cells[i] ?? '' })
    return obj
  })
}

// Parse a single CSV line respecting quoted fields with commas/newlines
function parseCsvLine(line) {
  const cells = []
  let current = ''
  let inQuotes = false
  for (let i = 0; i < line.length; i++) {
    const ch = line[i]
    if (inQuotes) {
      if (ch === '"' && line[i + 1] === '"') {
        current += '"'
        i++ // skip escaped quote
      } else if (ch === '"') {
        inQuotes = false
      } else {
        current += ch
      }
    } else {
      if (ch === '"') {
        inQuotes = true
      } else if (ch === ',') {
        cells.push(current)
        current = ''
      } else {
        current += ch
      }
    }
  }
  cells.push(current)
  return cells
}

Phase 1: Requirement → CSV

Objective: Decompose requirement into tasks, compute dependency waves, generate tasks.csv.

Steps:

Decompose Requirement

// Use ccw cli to decompose requirement into subtasks
Bash({
  command: `ccw cli -p "PURPOSE: Decompose requirement into 3-10 atomic tasks for batch agent execution. Each task must include implementation description, test cases, and acceptance criteria.

TASK: • Parse requirement into independent subtasks • Identify dependencies between tasks (which must complete before others) • Identify context flow (which tasks need previous tasks' findings) • For each task, define concrete test cases (unit/integration/edge) • For each task, define measurable acceptance criteria (what defines 'done') • Each task must be executable by a single agent with file read/write access MODE: analysis CONTEXT: @**/* EXPECTED: JSON object with tasks array. Each task: {id: string, title: string, description: string, test: string, acceptance_criteria: string, scope: string, hints: string, execution_directives: string, deps: string[], context_from: string[]}.

description: what to implement (specific enough for an agent to execute independently)
test: what tests to write and how to verify (e.g. 'Unit test: X returns Y; Edge test: handles Z')
acceptance_criteria: measurable conditions that define done (e.g. 'API returns 200; token expires after 1h')
scope: target file/directory glob (e.g. 'src/auth/**') — tasks in same wave MUST have non-overlapping scopes
hints: implementation tips + reference files, format '<tips> || <ref_file1>;<ref_file2>' (e.g. 'Use strategy pattern || src/base/Strategy.ts;docs/design.md')
execution_directives: commands to run for verification or tool constraints (e.g. 'Run npm test --bail; Ensure tsc passes')
deps: task IDs that must complete first
context_from: task IDs whose findings are needed CONSTRAINTS: 3-10 tasks | Each task is atomic | No circular deps | test and acceptance_criteria must be concrete and verifiable | Same-wave tasks must have non-overlapping scopes

REQUIREMENT: ${requirement}" --tool gemini --mode analysis --rule planning-breakdown-task-steps`, run_in_background: true }) // Wait for CLI completion via hook callback // Parse JSON from CLI output → decomposedTasks[]


2. **Compute Waves** (Kahn's BFS topological sort with depth tracking)

```javascript
// Algorithm:
// 1. Build in-degree map and adjacency list from deps
// 2. Enqueue all tasks with in-degree 0 at wave 1
// 3. BFS: for each dequeued task at wave W, for each dependent D:
//    - Decrement D's in-degree
//    - D.wave = max(D.wave, W + 1)
//    - If D's in-degree reaches 0, enqueue D
// 4. Any task without wave assignment → circular dependency error
//
// Wave properties:
//   Wave 1: no dependencies — fully independent
//   Wave N: all deps in waves 1..(N-1) — guaranteed completed before start
//   Within a wave: tasks are independent → safe for concurrent execution
//
// Example:
//   A(no deps)→W1, B(no deps)→W1, C(deps:A)→W2, D(deps:A,B)→W2, E(deps:C,D)→W3
//   Wave 1: [A,B] concurrent → Wave 2: [C,D] concurrent → Wave 3: [E]

function computeWaves(tasks) {
  const taskMap = new Map(tasks.map(t => [t.id, t]))
  const inDegree = new Map(tasks.map(t => [t.id, 0]))
  const adjList = new Map(tasks.map(t => [t.id, []]))

  for (const task of tasks) {
    for (const dep of task.deps) {
      if (taskMap.has(dep)) {
        adjList.get(dep).push(task.id)
        inDegree.set(task.id, inDegree.get(task.id) + 1)
      }
    }
  }

  // BFS-based topological sort with depth tracking
  const queue = []  // [taskId, depth]
  const waveAssignment = new Map()

  for (const [id, deg] of inDegree) {
    if (deg === 0) {
      queue.push([id, 1])
      waveAssignment.set(id, 1)
    }
  }

  let maxWave = 1
  let idx = 0
  while (idx < queue.length) {
    const [current, depth] = queue[idx++]
    for (const next of adjList.get(current)) {
      const newDeg = inDegree.get(next) - 1
      inDegree.set(next, newDeg)
      const nextDepth = Math.max(waveAssignment.get(next) || 0, depth + 1)
      waveAssignment.set(next, nextDepth)
      if (newDeg === 0) {
        queue.push([next, nextDepth])
        maxWave = Math.max(maxWave, nextDepth)
      }
    }
  }

  // Detect cycles
  for (const task of tasks) {
    if (!waveAssignment.has(task.id)) {
      throw new Error(`Circular dependency detected involving task ${task.id}`)
    }
  }

  return { waveAssignment, maxWave }
}

const { waveAssignment, maxWave } = computeWaves(decomposedTasks)

Generate tasks.csv

const header = 'id,title,description,test,acceptance_criteria,scope,hints,execution_directives,deps,context_from,wave,status,findings,files_modified,tests_passed,acceptance_met,error'
const rows = decomposedTasks.map(task => {
  const wave = waveAssignment.get(task.id)
  return [
    task.id,
    csvEscape(task.title),
    csvEscape(task.description),
    csvEscape(task.test),
    csvEscape(task.acceptance_criteria),
    csvEscape(task.scope),
    csvEscape(task.hints),
    csvEscape(task.execution_directives),
    task.deps.join(';'),
    task.context_from.join(';'),
    wave,
    'pending',  // status
    '',         // findings
    '',         // files_modified
    '',         // tests_passed
    '',         // acceptance_met
    ''          // error
  ].map(cell => `"${String(cell).replace(/"/g, '""')}"`).join(',')
})

Write(`${sessionFolder}/tasks.csv`, [header, ...rows].join('\n'))

User Validation (skip if AUTO_YES)

if (!AUTO_YES) {
  // Display task breakdown with wave assignment
  console.log(`\n## Task Breakdown (${decomposedTasks.length} tasks, ${maxWave} waves)\n`)
  for (let w = 1; w <= maxWave; w++) {
    const waveTasks = decomposedTasks.filter(t => waveAssignment.get(t.id) === w)
    console.log(`### Wave ${w} (${waveTasks.length} tasks, concurrent)`)
    waveTasks.forEach(t => console.log(`  - [${t.id}] ${t.title}`))
  }

  const answer = request_user_input({
    questions: [{
      header: "验证",
      id: "validation",
      question: "Approve task breakdown?",
      options: [
        { label: "Approve(Recommended)", description: "Proceed with wave execution" },
        { label: "Modify", description: `Edit ${sessionFolder}/tasks.csv manually, then --continue` },
        { label: "Cancel", description: "Abort" }
      ]
    }]
  })  // BLOCKS

  if (answer.answers.validation.answers[0] === "Modify") {
    console.log(`Edit: ${sessionFolder}/tasks.csv\nResume: $csv-wave-pipeline --continue`)
    return
  } else if (answer.answers.validation.answers[0] === "Cancel") {
    return
  }
}

Success Criteria: tasks.csv created with valid schema and wave assignments, no circular dependencies, user approved (or AUTO_YES).

Phase 2: Wave Execution Engine

Objective: Execute tasks wave-by-wave via spawn_agents_on_csv. Each wave sees previous waves' results.

Steps:

Wave Loop

const failedIds = new Set()
const skippedIds = new Set()

for (let wave = 1; wave <= maxWave; wave++) {
  console.log(`\n## Wave ${wave}/${maxWave}\n`)

  // 1. Read current master CSV
  const masterCsv = parseCsv(Read(`${sessionFolder}/tasks.csv`))

  // 2. Filter tasks for this wave
  const waveTasks = masterCsv.filter(row => parseInt(row.wave) === wave)

  // 3. Skip tasks whose deps failed
  const executableTasks = []
  for (const task of waveTasks) {
    const deps = task.deps.split(';').filter(Boolean)
    if (deps.some(d => failedIds.has(d) || skippedIds.has(d))) {
      skippedIds.add(task.id)
      updateMasterCsvRow(sessionFolder, task.id, {
        status: 'skipped',
        error: 'Dependency failed or skipped'
      })
      console.log(`  [${task.id}] ${task.title} → SKIPPED (dependency failed)`)
      continue
    }
    executableTasks.push(task)
  }

  if (executableTasks.length === 0) {
    console.log(`  No executable tasks in wave ${wave}`)
    continue
  }

  // 4. Build prev_context for each task (from context_from → master CSV findings)
  for (const task of executableTasks) {
    const contextIds = task.context_from.split(';').filter(Boolean)
    const prevFindings = contextIds
      .map(id => {
        const prevRow = masterCsv.find(r => r.id === id)
        if (prevRow && prevRow.status === 'completed' && prevRow.findings) {
          return `[Task ${id}: ${prevRow.title}] ${prevRow.findings}`
        }
        return null
      })
      .filter(Boolean)
      .join('\n')
    task.prev_context = prevFindings || 'No previous context available'
  }

  // 5. Write wave CSV
  const waveHeader = 'id,title,description,test,acceptance_criteria,scope,hints,execution_directives,deps,context_from,wave,prev_context'
  const waveRows = executableTasks.map(t =>
    [t.id, t.title, t.description, t.test, t.acceptance_criteria, t.scope, t.hints, t.execution_directives, t.deps, t.context_from, t.wave, t.prev_context]
      .map(cell => `"${String(cell).replace(/"/g, '""')}"`)
      .join(',')
  )
  Write(`${sessionFolder}/wave-${wave}.csv`, [waveHeader, ...waveRows].join('\n'))

  // 6. Execute wave
  console.log(`  Executing ${executableTasks.length} tasks (concurrency: ${maxConcurrency})...`)

  const waveResult = spawn_agents_on_csv({
    csv_path: `${sessionFolder}/wave-${wave}.csv`,
    id_column: "id",
    instruction: buildInstructionTemplate(sessionFolder, wave),
    max_concurrency: maxConcurrency,
    max_runtime_seconds: 600,
    output_csv_path: `${sessionFolder}/wave-${wave}-results.csv`,
    output_schema: {

      },
      required: ["id", "status", "findings", "tests_passed"]
    }
  })
  // ↑ Blocks until all agents in this wave complete

  // 7. Merge results into master CSV
  const waveResults = parseCsv(Read(`${sessionFolder}/wave-${wave}-results.csv`))
  for (const result of waveResults) {
    updateMasterCsvRow(sessionFolder, result.id, {
      status: result.status,
      findings: result.findings || '',
      files_modified: (result.files_modified || []).join(';'),
      tests_passed: String(result.tests_passed ?? ''),
      acceptance_met: result.acceptance_met || '',
      error: result.error || ''
    })

    if (result.status === 'failed') {
      failedIds.add(result.id)
      console.log(`  [${result.id}] ${result.title} → FAILED: ${result.error}`)
    } else {
      console.log(`  [${result.id}] ${result.title} → COMPLETED`)
    }
  }

  // 8. Cleanup temporary wave CSVs
  Bash(`rm -f "${sessionFolder}/wave-${wave}.csv" "${sessionFolder}/wave-${wave}-results.csv"`)

  console.log(`  Wave ${wave} done: ${waveResults.filter(r => r.status === 'completed').length} completed, ${waveResults.filter(r => r.status === 'failed').length} failed`)
}

Instruction Template Builder

function buildInstructionTemplate(sessionFolder, wave) {
  return `

TASK ASSIGNMENT

MANDATORY FIRST STEPS

Read shared discoveries: ${sessionFolder}/discoveries.ndjson (if exists, skip if not)
Read project context: .workflow/project-tech.json (if exists)

Your Task

Task ID: {id} Title: {title} Description: {description} Scope: {scope}

Implementation Hints & Reference Files

{hints}

Format: `<tips> || <ref_file1>;<ref_file2>`. Read ALL reference files (after ||) before starting implementation. Apply tips (before ||) as implementation guidance.

Execution Directives

{execution_directives}

Commands to run for verification, tool restrictions, or environment requirements. Follow these constraints during and after implementation.

Test Cases

{test}

Acceptance Criteria

{acceptance_criteria}

Previous Tasks' Findings (Context)

{prev_context}

Execution Protocol

Read references: Parse {hints} — read all files listed after `||` to understand existing patterns
Read discoveries: Load ${sessionFolder}/discoveries.ndjson for shared exploration findings
Use context: Apply previous tasks' findings from prev_context above
Stay in scope: ONLY create/modify files within {scope} — do NOT touch files outside this boundary
Apply hints: Follow implementation tips from {hints} (before `||`)
Execute: Implement the task as described
Write tests: Implement the test cases defined above
Run directives: Execute commands from {execution_directives} to verify your work
Verify acceptance: Ensure all acceptance criteria are met before reporting completion
Share discoveries: Append exploration findings to shared board: ```bash echo '{"ts":"<ISO8601>","worker":"{id}","type":"<type>","data":{...}}' >> ${sessionFolder}/discoveries.ndjson ```
Report result: Return JSON via report_agent_job_result

Discovery Types to Share

`code_pattern`: {name, file, description} — reusable patterns found
`integration_point`: {file, description, exports[]} — module connection points
`convention`: {naming, imports, formatting} — code style conventions
`blocker`: {issue, severity, impact} — blocking issues encountered
`tech_stack`: {runtime, framework, language} — project technology stack
`test_command`: {command, scope, description} — test commands discovered

Output (report_agent_job_result)

Return JSON: { "id": "{id}", "status": "completed" | "failed", "findings": "Key discoveries and implementation notes (max 500 chars)", "files_modified": ["path1", "path2"], "tests_passed": true | false, "acceptance_met": "Summary of which acceptance criteria were met/unmet", "error": "" }

IMPORTANT: Set status to "completed" ONLY if:

All test cases pass
All acceptance criteria are met Otherwise set status to "failed" with details in error field. ` }

Master CSV Update Helper

function updateMasterCsvRow(sessionFolder, taskId, updates) {
  const csvPath = `${sessionFolder}/tasks.csv`
  const content = Read(csvPath)
  const lines = content.split('\n')
  const header = lines[0].split(',')

  for (let i = 1; i < lines.length; i++) {
    const cells = parseCsvLine(lines[i])
    if (cells[0] === taskId || cells[0] === `"${taskId}"`) {
      // Update specified columns
      for (const [col, val] of Object.entries(updates)) {
        const colIdx = header.indexOf(col)
        if (colIdx >= 0) {
          cells[colIdx] = `"${String(val).replace(/"/g, '""')}"`
        }
      }
      lines[i] = cells.join(',')
      break
    }
  }

  Write(csvPath, lines.join('\n'))
}

Success Criteria: All waves executed in order, each wave's results merged into master CSV before next wave starts, dependent tasks skipped when predecessor failed, discoveries.ndjson accumulated across all waves.

Phase 3: Results Aggregation

Objective: Generate final results and human-readable report.

Steps:

Export results.csv

const masterCsv = Read(`${sessionFolder}/tasks.csv`)
// results.csv = master CSV (already has all results populated)
Write(`${sessionFolder}/results.csv`, masterCsv)

Generate context.md

const tasks = parseCsv(masterCsv)
const completed = tasks.filter(t => t.status === 'completed')
const failed = tasks.filter(t => t.status === 'failed')
const skipped = tasks.filter(t => t.status === 'skipped')

const contextContent = `# CSV Batch Execution Report

Session: ${sessionId} Requirement: ${requirement} Completed: ${getUtc8ISOString()} Waves: ${maxWave} | Concurrency: ${maxConcurrency}

Summary

| Metric | Count | |--------|-------| | Total Tasks | ${tasks.length} | | Completed | ${completed.length} | | Failed | ${failed.length} | | Skipped | ${skipped.length} | | Waves | ${maxWave} |

Wave Execution

${Array.from({ length: maxWave }, (_, i) => i + 1).map(w => { const waveTasks = tasks.filter(t => parseInt(t.wave) === w) return ### Wave ${w} ${waveTasks.map(t => - [${t.id}] ${t.title}: ${t.status}${t.tests_passed ? ' ✓tests' : ''}${t.error ? ' — ' + t.error : ''} ${t.findings ? 'Findings: ' + t.findings : ''}).join('\n')} }).join('\n\n')}

Task Details

${tasks.map(t => `### ${t.id}: ${t.title}

| Field | Value | |-------|-------| | Status | ${t.status} | | Wave | ${t.wave} | | Scope | ${t.scope || 'none'} | | Dependencies | ${t.deps || 'none'} | | Context From | ${t.context_from || 'none'} | | Tests Passed | ${t.tests_passed || 'N/A'} | | Acceptance Met | ${t.acceptance_met || 'N/A'} | | Error | ${t.error || 'none'} |

Description: ${t.description}

Test Cases: ${t.test || 'N/A'}

Acceptance Criteria: ${t.acceptance_criteria || 'N/A'}

Hints: ${t.hints || 'N/A'}

Execution Directives: ${t.execution_directives || 'N/A'}

Findings: ${t.findings || 'N/A'}

Files Modified: ${t.files_modified || 'none'} `).join('\n---\n')}

All Modified Files

${[...new Set(tasks.flatMap(t => (t.files_modified || '').split(';')).filter(Boolean))].map(f => '- ' + f).join('\n') || 'None'} `

Write(${sessionFolder}/context.md, contextContent)


3. **Display Summary**

```javascript
console.log(`
## Execution Complete

- **Session**: ${sessionId}
- **Waves**: ${maxWave}
- **Completed**: ${completed.length}/${tasks.length}
- **Failed**: ${failed.length}
- **Skipped**: ${skipped.length}

**Results**: ${sessionFolder}/results.csv
**Report**: ${sessionFolder}/context.md
**Discoveries**: ${sessionFolder}/discoveries.ndjson
`)

Offer Next Steps (skip if AUTO_YES)

if (!AUTO_YES && failed.length > 0) {
  const answer = request_user_input({
    questions: [{
      header: "下一步",
      id: "next_step",
      question: `${failed.length} tasks failed. Next action?`,
      options: [
        { label: "Retry Failed(Recommended)", description: `Re-execute ${failed.length} failed tasks with updated context` },
        { label: "View Report", description: "Display context.md" },
        { label: "Done", description: "Complete session" }
      ]
    }]
  })  // BLOCKS

  if (answer.answers.next_step.answers[0] === "Retry Failed(Recommended)") {
    // Reset failed tasks to pending, re-run Phase 2 for their waves
    for (const task of failed) {
      updateMasterCsvRow(sessionFolder, task.id, { status: 'pending', error: '' })
    }
    // Also reset skipped tasks whose deps are now retrying
    for (const task of skipped) {
      updateMasterCsvRow(sessionFolder, task.id, { status: 'pending', error: '' })
    }
    // Re-execute Phase 2 (loop will skip already-completed tasks)
    // → goto Phase 2
  } else if (answer.answers.next_step.answers[0] === "View Report") {
    console.log(Read(`${sessionFolder}/context.md`))
  }
}

Success Criteria: results.csv exported, context.md generated, summary displayed to user.

Error Handling

| Error | Resolution | |-------|------------| | Circular dependency | Detect in wave computation, abort with error message | | Agent timeout | Mark as failed in results, continue with wave | | Agent failed | Mark as failed, skip dependent tasks in later waves | | All agents in wave failed | Log error, offer retry or abort | | CSV parse error | Validate CSV format before execution, show line number | | discoveries.ndjson corrupt | Ignore malformed lines, continue with valid entries | | Continue mode: no session found | List available sessions, prompt user to select |

Rules & Best Practices

Core Rules

Start Immediately: First action is session initialization, then Phase 1
Wave Order is Sacred: Never execute wave N before wave N-1 completes and results are merged
CSV is Source of Truth: Master tasks.csv holds all state — always read before wave, always write after
Context Propagation: prev_context built from master CSV, not from memory
Discovery Board is Append-Only: Never clear, modify, or recreate discoveries.ndjson
Skip on Failure: If a dependency failed, skip the dependent task (don't attempt)
Cleanup Temp Files: Remove wave-{N}.csv and wave-{N}-results.csv after results are merged
DO NOT STOP: Continuous execution until all waves complete or all remaining tasks are skipped

Task Design

Granularity: 3-10 tasks optimal; too many = overhead, too few = no parallelism benefit
Minimize Cross-Wave Deps: More tasks in wave 1 = more parallelism
Specific Descriptions: Agent sees only its CSV row + prev_context — make description self-contained
Context From ≠ Deps: deps = execution order constraint; context_from = information flow. A task can have context_from without deps (it just reads previous findings but doesn't require them to be done first in its wave)
Concurrency Tuning: -c 1 for serial execution (maximum context sharing); -c 8 for I/O-bound tasks

Scenario Recommendations

| Scenario | Recommended Approach | |----------|---------------------| | Independent parallel tasks (no deps) | $csv-wave-pipeline -c 8 — single wave, max parallelism | | Linear pipeline (A→B→C) | $csv-wave-pipeline -c 1 — 3 waves, serial, full context | | Diamond dependency (A→B,C→D) | $csv-wave-pipeline — 3 waves, B+C concurrent in wave 2 | | Complex requirement, unclear tasks | Use $roadmap-with-file first for planning, then feed issues here | | Single complex task | Use $workflow-lite-plan instead |
