# Adversarial Bug Report: Phase-Scoped Prompts
|
||||
|
||||
## Deep Review
|
||||
The ALLOWED/FORBIDDEN sections create hard boundaries that prevent phase-skipping. The user override resistance instructions give agents a standard refusal template. The orchestrate.md reduction from 493 to 143 lines is significant and removes state machine duplication.
|
||||
|
||||
## Potential Issues
|
||||
1. **FORBIDDEN section is advisory only**: An agent that ignores the prompt can still perform forbidden actions. The enforcement relies on the agent following instructions. `status.py --validate-folder` catches violations after the fact, but cannot prevent them in real-time.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Agent can fabricate APPROVED signal**: The approval gate says "wait for user approval," but a non-compliant agent could call `status.py --approve` itself without waiting. This is mitigated by the spec requirement that `--approve` is an explicit user action, but a truly adversarial agent could simulate it.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **decompose.md length**: At over 150 lines, decompose.md pushes against the prompt discipline target. Not a functional bug but a maintenance concern.
|
||||
|
||||
## Verdict: PASS — no security or logic flaws. Enforcement is prompt-based with status.py as a post-hoc check, which is the intended design.

# Implementation: Phase-Scoped Prompts with Forbidden Actions
|
||||
|
||||
## Changes Made
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. ALLOWED/FORBIDDEN sections in all phase prompts
|
||||
Each phase prompt now includes:
|
||||
- **ALLOWED ACTIONS** — explicit list of what the agent can do
|
||||
- **FORBIDDEN ACTIONS** — explicit list of what the agent cannot do, including "Do NOT" instructions and handling user overrides
|
||||
|
||||
Phase-specific definitions:
|
||||
- research.md: ALLOWED read/ask questions/write SPEC.md; FORBIDDEN edit code, create IMPLEMENTATION.md, skip to implementation
|
||||
- decompose.md: ALLOWED read SPEC/ask questions/write DECOMPOSITION.md; FORBIDDEN edit code, modify SPEC.md, create sub-task folders
|
||||
- design.md: ALLOWED read SPEC/ask questions/write DESIGN.md; FORBIDDEN edit code, create IMPLEMENTATION.md, skip to implementation
|
||||
- test_design.md: ALLOWED read SPEC+DESIGN/ask questions/write TEST_PLAN.md; FORBIDDEN edit code, write test implementations
|
||||
- implement.md: ALLOWED edit code/write tests/create IMPLEMENTATION.md; FORBIDDEN create new tasks, modify SPEC/DESIGN
|
||||
- bug_finder.md: ALLOWED read code/SPEC/IMPLEMENTATION/write BUG_REPORT.md; FORBIDDEN edit code, fix bugs
|
||||
- adversarial_bug_find.md: ALLOWED read code/SPEC/BUG_REPORT/write ADVERSARIAL_BUG_REPORT.md; FORBIDDEN edit code, fix bugs
|
||||
- doc_review.md: ALLOWED read DESIGN/code/docs/write DOC_REVIEW.md/update docs; FORBIDDEN edit non-doc code, modify SPEC/DESIGN
|
||||
- referee.md: ALLOWED read all artifacts/write VERDICT.md; FORBIDDEN edit code, modify any artifact other than VERDICT.md
|
||||
- orchestrate.md: ALLOWED read .state/transition state/create tasks/delegate; FORBIDDEN edit code directly, skip phases
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. User override resistance
|
||||
Each prompt includes a "Handling User Overrides" section telling agents to refuse forbidden actions and suggest the correct phase.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. `.state` precondition check
|
||||
Every phase prompt includes `.state` as the first file to read, with instructions to STOP if the phase doesn't match.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Pre-Work Validation (MANDATORY)
|
||||
Every phase prompt requires running `python ~/.automaton/scripts/status.py --validate-folder --task {task-name}` before starting work.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Approval gates
|
||||
- research.md, decompose.md, design.md, test_design.md: include Approval Gate section with `--transition {phase}:awaiting_approval`, `--approve`, and `--transition {next-phase}`
|
||||
- implement.md, bug_finder.md, adversarial_bug_find.md, doc_review.md, referee.md: include "No Approval Gate" section with direct `--transition`
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Orchestrate.md restructuring
|
||||
- Reduced from 493 to 143 lines
|
||||
- State determination logic referenced from workflow.md
|
||||
- Sub-task management extracted to subtask_management.md
|
||||
- Gate-check loop with `--validate-folder` and approval pauses
|
||||
|
||||
## Files Modified

# SPEC: Phase-Scoped Prompts with Forbidden Actions
|
||||
|
||||
## Goal
|
||||
Restructure all phase prompts to include explicit ALLOWED and FORBIDDEN action sections, ensuring agents cannot skip phases or perform actions outside their current phase scope.
|
||||
|
||||
## Background
|
||||
Currently, phase prompts describe what to produce (SPEC.md, DESIGN.md, etc.) but never state what's NOT allowed. When a user says "fix this bug," the agent has no instruction refusing to skip phases. The prompts are also monolithic — the orchestrator prompt is 493 lines, diluting compliance. Each phase prompt needs hard boundaries.
|
||||
|
||||
## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. ALLOWED/FORBIDDEN sections in every phase prompt
|
||||
Every phase prompt must include two explicit sections:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
## ALLOWED ACTIONS
|
||||
- {action 1}
|
||||
- {action 2}
|
||||
|
||||
## FORBIDDEN ACTIONS
|
||||
- Do NOT {forbidden action 1}
|
||||
- Do NOT {forbidden action 2}
|
||||
- If the user requests {forbidden action}, respond: "That requires going through the {phase} phase first. The current phase is {current phase}."
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Per-phase ALLOWED and FORBIDDEN definitions
|
||||
|
||||
#### research.md
|
||||
- ALLOWED: Read project files, ask clarifying questions, write SPEC.md
|
||||
- FORBIDDEN: Edit code, create IMPLEMENTATION.md, create DESIGN.md, create any artifact other than SPEC.md, skip to implementation regardless of user request
|
||||
- APPROVAL REQUIRED: SPEC.md must be approved before transitioning to the next phase. The research phase has sub-states:
|
||||
- `research`: Active — agent is working on SPEC.md
|
||||
- `research:awaiting_approval`: SPEC.md draft is produced, waiting for user sign-off
|
||||
- `research:approved`: User has approved SPEC.md, ready to transition to next phase
|
||||
|
||||
#### decompose.md
|
||||
- ALLOWED: Read SPEC.md, ask decomposition questions, write DECOMPOSITION.md, run VRAM detection
|
||||
- FORBIDDEN: Edit code, create IMPLEMENTATION.md, modify SPEC.md, create sub-task folders (the Orchestrator does this)
|
||||
- APPROVAL REQUIRED: DECOMPOSITION.md must be approved before sub-tasks are created. Sub-states:
|
||||
- `decomposition`: Active — agent is working on DECOMPOSITION.md
|
||||
- `decomposition:awaiting_approval`: DECOMPOSITION.md draft is produced, waiting for user sign-off
|
||||
- `decomposition:approved`: User has approved DECOMPOSITION.md, ready to create sub-tasks
|
||||
|
||||
#### design.md
|
||||
- ALLOWED: Read SPEC.md, ask design questions, write DESIGN.md
|
||||
- FORBIDDEN: Edit code, create IMPLEMENTATION.md, modify SPEC.md, skip to implementation regardless of user request
|
||||
- APPROVAL REQUIRED: DESIGN.md must be approved before transitioning. Sub-states:
|
||||
- `design`: Active — agent is working on DESIGN.md
|
||||
- `design:awaiting_approval`: DESIGN.md draft is produced, waiting for user sign-off
|
||||
- `design:approved`: User has approved DESIGN.md, ready to transition
|
||||
|
||||
#### test_design.md
|
||||
- ALLOWED: Read SPEC.md and DESIGN.md, ask test questions, write TEST_PLAN.md
|
||||
- FORBIDDEN: Edit code, write test implementations, create IMPLEMENTATION.md, modify SPEC.md or DESIGN.md
|
||||
- APPROVAL REQUIRED: TEST_PLAN.md must be approved before transitioning. Sub-states:
|
||||
- `test_design`: Active — agent is working on TEST_PLAN.md
|
||||
- `test_design:awaiting_approval`: TEST_PLAN.md draft is produced, waiting for user sign-off
|
||||
- `test_design:approved`: User has approved TEST_PLAN.md, ready to transition
|
||||
|
||||
#### implement.md (already exists, needs FORBIDDEN additions)
|
||||
- ALLOWED: Edit code, write tests, create IMPLEMENTATION.md, run test suite
|
||||
- FORBIDDEN: Create new tasks, modify SPEC.md or DESIGN.md, transition to bug-find phase (the Orchestrator does this)
|
||||
- NO APPROVAL: implement phase has no approval sub-states — it transitions directly to bug_find when IMPLEMENTATION.md is complete and CONTRACT_MET is output
|
||||
|
||||
#### bug_finder.md
|
||||
- ALLOWED: Read code, read SPEC.md, read IMPLEMENTATION.md, write BUG_REPORT.md
|
||||
- FORBIDDEN: Edit code, fix bugs (that's a separate implementation task), modify SPEC.md
|
||||
|
||||
#### adversarial_bug_find.md
|
||||
- ALLOWED: Read code, read SPEC.md, read BUG_REPORT.md, write ADVERSARIAL_BUG_REPORT.md
|
||||
- FORBIDDEN: Edit code, fix bugs, modify SPEC.md or BUG_REPORT.md
|
||||
|
||||
#### doc_review.md
|
||||
- ALLOWED: Read DESIGN.md, read code, read docs, write DOC_REVIEW.md, update documentation
|
||||
- FORBIDDEN: Edit non-documentation code, modify SPEC.md, modify DESIGN.md
|
||||
|
||||
#### referee.md
|
||||
- ALLOWED: Read all artifacts, write VERDICT.md
|
||||
- FORBIDDEN: Edit code, modify any artifact other than VERDICT.md
|
||||
|
||||
#### orchestrate.md
|
||||
- ALLOWED: Read `.state`, transition `.state`, create task folders (via `status.py --create-task`), delegate to phase prompts, call `status.py --approve` on behalf of the user in manual mode
|
||||
- FORBIDDEN: Edit code directly, produce phase artifacts (SPEC.md, DESIGN.md, etc.), skip phases, create task folders manually (must use `status.py --create-task`)
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. User override resistance
|
||||
Each FORBIDDEN section must include a standard response template for when the user tries to bypass the workflow:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
## Handling User Overrides
|
||||
If the user requests an action that is FORBIDDEN in the current phase:
|
||||
1. Do NOT perform the forbidden action
|
||||
2. Respond with: "That action requires the {required_phase} phase. The current phase is {current_phase}. To proceed, say 'orchestrate' and I will advance to the next phase."
|
||||
3. If the user insists, you may note their request but still do not perform the forbidden action
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. `.state` precondition check
|
||||
Each phase prompt must include in its "Read These Files" section:
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
1. {project}/.automaton/tasks/{task-name}/.state — Confirm the task is in the correct phase. If the phase does not match this prompt, STOP and report the mismatch.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Approval gate check
|
||||
For phases that require approval (research, decomposition, design, test_design), the prompt must include:
|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
## Approval Gate (MANDATORY)
|
||||
This phase requires user approval before proceeding to the next phase.
|
||||
|
||||
1. After producing the draft artifact ({artifact_name}), transition to awaiting_approval:
|
||||
python ~/.automaton/scripts/status.py --task {task-name} --transition {phase}:awaiting_approval
|
||||
|
||||
2. Present the draft to the user for review and sign-off.
|
||||
|
||||
3. After the user says "APPROVED" or equivalent:
|
||||
python ~/.automaton/scripts/status.py --task {task-name} --approve
|
||||
|
||||
4. Then transition to the next phase:
|
||||
python ~/.automaton/scripts/status.py --task {task-name} --transition {next-phase}
|
||||
|
||||
You MUST NOT transition past {phase}:awaiting_approval without explicit user approval.
|
||||
status.py --transition will REFUSE the transition if approval has not been granted.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Folder validation check
|
||||
Each phase prompt must include a mandatory validation step before beginning work:
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
## Pre-Work Validation (MANDATORY)
|
||||
Before starting any work, you MUST run:
|
||||
python ~/.automaton/scripts/status.py --validate-folder --task {task-name}
|
||||
|
||||
If this reports FORBIDDEN artifacts, STOP. Do not proceed. Report the violation and ask the user to resolve it.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This catches phase-skipping violations before the agent begins work in a phase, preventing the agent from building on top of artifacts that shouldn't exist.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Prompt length discipline
|
||||
- Each phase prompt should be **under 150 lines** (except orchestrate.md which may be longer due to the state machine definition)
|
||||
- Remove redundant content — if the state machine is defined in `workflow.md`, don't repeat it in `orchestrate.md`
|
||||
- The orchestrator prompt should reference `workflow.md` for state transitions rather than duplicating them
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Orchestrate.md restructuring
|
||||
- Remove the detailed state determination logic from orchestrate.md (it lives in workflow.md, which is already separate)
|
||||
- Remove the sub-task management details (move to a new `prompts/subtask_management.md` reference document)
|
||||
- Keep orchestrate.md focused on: reading `.state`, determining next action, writing `.state` transitions, and delegating to phase prompts
|
||||
- Target: reduce orchestrate.md from 493 lines to under 200 lines
|
||||
|
||||
## Acceptance Criteria
|
||||
- [ ] Every phase prompt has explicit ALLOWED ACTIONS section
|
||||
- [ ] Every phase prompt has explicit FORBIDDEN ACTIONS section
|
||||
- [ ] Every phase prompt includes user override resistance instructions
|
||||

|
||||
- [ ] Implementation, bug finder, adversarial bug finder, doc review, and referee prompts do NOT include approval gates
|
||||
- [ ] orchestrate.md FORBIDDEN section includes "create task folders manually (must use status.py --create-task)"
|
||||
- [ ] orchestrate.md is under 200 lines
|
||||
- [ ] State transition logic is not duplicated between orchestrate.md and workflow.md

||||
- This spec does not cover the `status.py` script (separate task)
