# Handoff: Programmer Agent Implementation
|
|
|
|
## Summary
|
|
|
|
Implement a programmer-orchestrator agent system for general code development, following the approved design.
|
|
|
|
## Design Document
|
|
|
|
`~/.claude/docs/plans/2025-12-29-programmer-agent-design.md`
|
|
|
|
Read this first - it contains the full specification.
|
|
|
|
## Implementation Tasks
|
|
|
|
### 1. Create State Directory Structure
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkdir -p ~/.claude/state/programmer/projects
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create initial state files:
|
|
|
|
**~/.claude/state/programmer/session-autonomy.json**
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"level": "conservative",
|
|
"overrides": {}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**~/.claude/state/programmer/preferences.json**
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"style": {},
|
|
"patterns": {},
|
|
"languages": {}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 2. Create Agent Files
|
|
|
|
Create these in `~/.claude/agents/`:
|
|
|
|
| File | Model | Reference |
|
|
|------|-------|-----------|
|
|
| `programmer-orchestrator.md` | opus | Design doc "programmer-orchestrator" section |
|
|
| `code-planner.md` | sonnet | Design doc "code-planner" section |
|
|
| `code-implementer.md` | sonnet | Design doc "code-implementer" section |
|
|
| `code-reviewer.md` | sonnet | Design doc "code-reviewer" section |
|
|
|
|
Follow the format in `~/.claude/agents/linux-sysadmin.md`:
|
|
- YAML frontmatter with name, description, model, tools
|
|
- Markdown body with hierarchy position, responsibilities, tool classification
|
|
|
|
Key points for each:
|
|
|
|
**programmer-orchestrator**:
|
|
- Enforces workflow phases (plan → implement → review)
|
|
- Gates transitions on user approval
|
|
- Reads/passes project context to sub-agents
|
|
- Include the workflow diagram from design doc
|
|
|
|
**code-planner**:
|
|
- Read-only tools (no Write/Edit)
|
|
- References superpowers:writing-plans skill
|
|
- Output format for plan documents
|
|
|
|
**code-implementer**:
|
|
- Full write access
|
|
- Must follow plan received as input
|
|
- Cannot commit (returns to orchestrator)
|
|
|
|
**code-reviewer**:
|
|
- Read-only plus git diff
|
|
- References superpowers:code-reviewer
|
|
- Include the review output format from design doc
|
|
|
|
### 3. Create Command
|
|
|
|
**~/.claude/commands/programmer.md**
|
|
```yaml
|
|
---
|
|
name: programmer
|
|
description: Invoke the programmer agent for code development tasks
|
|
aliases: [code, dev]
|
|
invokes: agent:programmer-orchestrator
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Routes programming tasks to the programmer-orchestrator agent.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 4. Create Skill
|
|
|
|
**~/.claude/skills/programmer-add-project/SKILL.md**
|
|
|
|
Skill that:
|
|
- Prompts for project path, description, stack, conventions
|
|
- Creates `~/.claude/state/programmer/projects/<name>.json`
|
|
- Validates path exists
|
|
|
|
### 5. Update Existing Files
|
|
|
|
**~/.claude/CLAUDE.md** - Update hierarchy diagram:
|
|
```
|
|
Personal Assistant (Opus) - user interface + ultimate oversight
|
|
└── Master Orchestrator (Opus) - monitor, coordinate, enforce
|
|
├── linux-sysadmin (Sonnet) - workstation management
|
|
├── k8s-orchestrator (Opus) - cluster management
|
|
│ ├── k8s-diagnostician (Sonnet)
|
|
│ ├── argocd-operator (Sonnet)
|
|
│ ├── prometheus-analyst (Sonnet)
|
|
│ └── git-operator (Sonnet)
|
|
├── programmer-orchestrator (Opus) - code development
|
|
│ ├── code-planner (Sonnet)
|
|
│ ├── code-implementer (Sonnet)
|
|
│ └── code-reviewer (Sonnet)
|
|
└── network-agent (future)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**~/.claude/state/model-policy.json** - Add entries:
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"programmer-orchestrator": "opus",
|
|
"code-planner": "sonnet",
|
|
"code-implementer": "sonnet",
|
|
"code-reviewer": "sonnet"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**~/.claude/agents/master-orchestrator.md** - Add to supervised agents list:
|
|
- programmer-orchestrator
|
|
|
|
## Reference Files
|
|
|
|
Examine these for format/style consistency:
|
|
- `~/.claude/agents/linux-sysadmin.md` - Agent format example
|
|
- `~/.claude/agents/k8s-orchestrator.md` - Orchestrator pattern example
|
|
- `~/.claude/agents/master-orchestrator.md` - Hierarchy reference
|
|
|
|
## Verification
|
|
|
|
After implementation:
|
|
1. All agent files have valid YAML frontmatter
|
|
2. State files are valid JSON
|
|
3. Hierarchy in CLAUDE.md matches actual agents
|
|
4. model-policy.json has all new agents
|
|
5. master-orchestrator.md lists programmer-orchestrator
|
|
|
|
## Commit
|
|
|
|
Single commit with message:
|
|
```
|
|

|
|
|
|
- Add programmer-orchestrator and sub-agents (planner, implementer, reviewer)
|
|
- Add state files for preferences and project context
|
|
