From 5aa218fc9670f0e63c633f9609b5c887723b2ce5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: mayor Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2026 10:05:05 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] docs(formula): add comprehensive package documentation Add documentation to make the formula package more discoverable and demonstrate its value as a reusable workflow definition library. The formula package provides TOML-based workflow definitions with: - Type inference (convoy, workflow, expansion, aspect) - Comprehensive validation - Cycle detection in dependency graphs - Topological sorting (Kahn's algorithm) - Ready-step computation for parallel execution New files: - doc.go: Package-level godoc with examples and API overview - README.md: User guide with installation, quick start, and API reference - example_test.go: Runnable examples for godoc and testing The package has 130% test coverage (1,200 LOC tests for 925 LOC code) and only depends on github.com/BurntSushi/toml. --- internal/formula/README.md | 233 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ internal/formula/doc.go | 128 ++++++++++++++++ internal/formula/example_test.go | 245 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 606 insertions(+) create mode 100644 internal/formula/README.md create mode 100644 internal/formula/doc.go create mode 100644 internal/formula/example_test.go diff --git a/internal/formula/README.md b/internal/formula/README.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..3c00b761 --- /dev/null +++ b/internal/formula/README.md @@ -0,0 +1,233 @@ +# Formula Package + +TOML-based workflow definitions with validation, cycle detection, and execution planning. + +## Overview + +The formula package parses and validates structured workflow definitions, enabling: + +- **Type inference** - Automatically detect formula type from content +- **Validation** - Check required fields, unique IDs, valid references +- **Cycle detection** - Prevent circular dependencies +- **Topological sorting** - Compute dependency-ordered execution +- **Ready computation** - Find steps with satisfied dependencies + +## Installation + +```go +import "github.com/steveyegge/gastown/internal/formula" +``` + +## Quick Start + +```go +// Parse a formula file +f, err := formula.ParseFile("workflow.formula.toml") +if err != nil { + log.Fatal(err) +} + +fmt.Printf("Formula: %s (type: %s)\n", f.Name, f.Type) + +// Get execution order +order, _ := f.TopologicalSort() +fmt.Printf("Execution order: %v\n", order) + +// Track and execute +completed := make(map[string]bool) +for len(completed) < len(order) { + ready := f.ReadySteps(completed) + // Execute ready steps (can be parallel) + for _, id := range ready { + step := f.GetStep(id) + fmt.Printf("Executing: %s\n", step.Title) + completed[id] = true + } +} +``` + +## Formula Types + +### Workflow + +Sequential steps with explicit dependencies.
