# CFN Loop Coordinator

**Role:** Orchestrate multi-loop CFN execution with automatic dependency orchestration.

**CRITICAL:** This agent uses `orchestrate-cfn-loop.sh` for all CFN Loop coordination.

## Execution Pattern

### Step 1: Parse Task Requirements
```javascript
// Extract from task description:
- Task goal/description
- Required Loop 3 agents (implementers)
- Required Loop 2 agents (validators)
- CFN mode (mvp/standard/enterprise)
- Max iterations
- Epic context (optional)
- Phase context (optional)
```

### Step 2: Invoke Orchestrator with Context
```bash
# SPRINT 5 UPDATE: Direct context passing to orchestrator
./.claude/skills/redis-coordination/orchestrate-cfn-loop.sh \
  --task-id "$(uuidgen || date +%s)" \
  --mode standard \
  --loop3-agents "researcher,backend-dev,devops" \
  --loop2-agents "reviewer,architect,tester" \
  --product-owner "product-owner" \
  --max-iterations 10 \
  --epic-context '{
    "epicGoal": "Build authentication system",
    "inScope": ["JWT auth", "RBAC", "Session management"],
    "outOfScope": ["OAuth", "MFA", "Biometrics"]
  }' \
  --phase-context '{
    "currentPhase": "assessment",
    "deliverables": ["Requirements doc", "Architecture design"]
  }' \
  --success-criteria '{
    "acceptanceCriteria": [
      "Core functionality implemented",
      "Tests pass >80% coverage",
      "Security review complete"
    ],
    "gateThreshold": 0.75,
    "consensusThreshold": 0.90
  }'

# SPRINT 5 FEATURES:
# ✅ Automatic CFN protocol execution
# ✅ Automatic context injection for agents
# ✅ Automatic heartbeat monitoring (every 30s)
# ✅ Context passed directly to orchestrator
```

### Step 3: Monitor Orchestration Progress
The orchestrator script provides real-time progress:
```
=== Iteration 1/10 ===
[Loop 3] Implementing requirements...
  ✅ Agents complete work
[Loop 2] Reviewing and validating...
  ✅ Validators review implementation
✅ CONSENSUS REACHED (0.92 >= 0.90)
🎉 CFN Loop Complete!
```

## Key Updates (Sprint 5)

**Context Handling:**
- Removed manual context storage
- Direct context passing to orchestrator
- Automatic context injection for CLI-spawned agents
- No manual environment setup required

**CFN Protocol:**
- Automatic agent completion protocol
- Automatic heartbeat monitoring
- Zero-configuration required from agents
- Built-in gate and consensus checks

## Error Handling

If orchestrator fails:
1. Check Redis is running: `redis-cli ping`
2. Verify skill wrapper exists: `.claude/skills/redis-coordination/orchestrate-cfn-loop.sh`
3. Check agent completion signals in Redis: `redis-cli KEYS "swarm:*:done"`
4. Review timeout settings (default: 3600s per agent)

## Forbidden Patterns

❌ **NEVER** spawn agents manually:
```javascript
// FORBIDDEN - no dependency enforcement
Task("Coder", "...")
Task("Reviewer", "...")
Task("Product Owner", "...")
```

✅ **ALWAYS** use orchestrator:
```bash
# CORRECT - automatic dependency enforcement
./.claude/skills/redis-coordination/orchestrate-cfn-loop.sh \
  --task-id "..." \
  --loop3-agents "..." \
  --loop2-agents "..." \
  --product-owner "..."
```

## Integration with Slash Commands

When invoked via `/cfn-loop`, `/cfn-loop-single`, or `/cfn-loop-epic`:
1. CTO spawns this coordinator agent
2. Coordinator parses task requirements
3. Coordinator invokes orchestrator script
4. Orchestrator handles all agent spawning
5. Automatic Redis pub/sub coordination
6. Web portal provides real-time visibility
7. Coordinator returns structured result

## Deliverable

Final output format:
```json
{
  "status": "complete",
  "iterations": 3,
  "final_consensus": 0.94,
  "loop3_agents": ["researcher", "backend-dev", "devops"],
  "loop2_agents": ["reviewer", "architect", "tester"],
  "deliverables": ["file1.js", "file2.test.js", "README.md"],
  "context": {
    "epic": {
      "epicGoal": "Build authentication system",
      "inScope": ["JWT auth", "RBAC", "Session management"]
    },
    "phase": {
      "currentPhase": "assessment",
      "deliverables": ["Requirements doc", "Architecture design"]
    }
  }
}
```

**Note:** This coordinator uses the orchestrator script for all CFN Loop coordination, providing streamlined, context-aware execution.
