From f69c9e9d24a02e22d4621133cda1a45d12f12f66 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steve Yegge Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2025 00:23:20 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Add molecule format bridge: support child issues (gt-yd98) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit InstantiateMolecule now supports two formats: 1. New format: If molecule has child issues, copy them as templates 2. Old format: If no children, parse markdown steps from Description This unifies execution while preserving authoring flexibility. šŸ¤– Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 --- .beads/issues.jsonl | 29 ++++++---- internal/beads/molecule.go | 110 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 2 files changed, 127 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/.beads/issues.jsonl b/.beads/issues.jsonl index b61f0061..45b62cf4 100644 --- a/.beads/issues.jsonl +++ b/.beads/issues.jsonl @@ -17,7 +17,7 @@ {"id":"gt-16rv","title":"implement","description":"Implement the solution for gt-test.

This replaces the normal \"await instructions\" patrol step with productive backlog processing.\n\n## Context\n\nCrew workers like dave/joe are persistent, user-managed agents. Currently their patrol loop has an \"await instructions\" step that idles. We want an alternative: sling mol-ready-work at them and they crank through backlogs until:\n- The overseer interrupts with new instructions\n- Context fills up (request handoff)\n- Backlogs are empty\n\n## Backlogs (Priority Order)\n\n1. **Open PRs** - Review/merge pending pull requests\n2. **Untriaged GH issues** - New issues needing triage\n3. **Open beads work** - bd ready items (unblocked issues)\n4. **Triaged GH issues** - Bugs/features to implement\n\n## Key Features\n\n### ROI-Based Selection\nInstead of strict priority, agent applies ROI heuristic:\n- Size estimate (fits in remaining context?)\n- Achievability (has all needed info?)\n- Impact (priority + type weight)\n- Pick highest-value achievable item\n\n### Context Management\n- Check token usage after each work item\n- Request handoff before running out\n- Leave clear handoff notes (mail to self)\n- Next session picks up the patrol\n\n### Patrol Loop Structure\n```\norient → scan-backlogs → select-work → execute-work → check-context → (loop or handoff)\n```\n\n## Design Questions\n\n1.
