Core Components

Goal Definition System

Defines and manages project goals at multiple levels:

Goal Hierarchy

@dataclass
class ProjectGoal:
    goal_id: str
    title: str
    description: str
    level: GoalLevel  # STRATEGIC, TACTICAL, OPERATIONAL
    priority: Priority # CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW

Mission-Context Integration Engine

Integrates project mission and vision into context generation:

Mission Analysis

@dataclass
class ProjectMission:
    mission_statement: str
    vision_statement: str
    core_values: List[str]
    success_principles: List[str]
    
    # Technical mission aspects
    architectural_principles: List[str]
    quality_attributes: List[str]    # Performance, security, maintainability
    technology_philosophy: str       # Innovation vs stability balance
    
    # Context generation guidance
    context_priorities: Dict[str, float]  # What to emphasize in context
    insight_focus_areas: List[str]        # What insights to prioritize
    role_alignment_weights: Dict[AgentRole, float]  # Role importance weighting

Mission-Driven Context Weighting

def apply_mission_alignment(context: ContextNode, mission: ProjectMission) -> ContextNode:
    # Boost insights that align with mission
    aligned_insights = []
    for insight in context.insights:
        relevance_score = calculate_mission_relevance(insight, mission)
        if relevance_score > 0.7:
            aligned_insights.append(f"[MISSION-CRITICAL] {insight}")
        elif relevance_score > 0.4:
            aligned_insights.append(f"[MISSION-ALIGNED] {insight}")
        else:
            aligned_insights.append(insight)
    
    context.insights = aligned_insights
    
    # Adjust technology emphasis based on mission technology philosophy
    context.technologies = reweight_technologies(
        context.technologies, 
        mission.technology_philosophy
    )
    
    return context

Team Goal Awareness System

Team Structure Modeling

@dataclass  
class TeamStructure:
    team_id: str
    team_name: str
    team_mission: str
    
    # Team composition
    team_members: List[TeamMember]
    team_roles: List[AgentRole]

    priority_weights: Dict[str, float]  # How much team prioritizes each goal
    success_metrics: List[str]      # How team measures success
    
    # Team dynamics
    collaboration_patterns: Dict[str, float]  # How roles collaborate
    communication_preferences: Dict[str, str] # Preferred communication styles
    decision_making_style: str     # Consensus, hierarchical, etc.

Goal-Aware Context Generation

def generate_team_aligned_context(
    context: ContextNode, 
    team: TeamStructure,
    active_goals: List[ProjectGoal]
) -> ContextNode:
    
    # Find goals relevant to this team
    team_goals = [g for g in active_goals if g.goal_id in team.current_goals]
    
    # Calculate context relevance to team goals
    goal_relevance_scores = {}
    for goal in team_goals:
        relevance = calculate_context_goal_relevance(context, goal)
        weight = team.priority_weights.get(goal.goal_id, 0.5)
        goal_relevance_scores[goal.goal_id] = relevance * weight
    
    # Enhance context with goal-relevant insights
    if goal_relevance_scores:
        max_relevance_goal = max(goal_relevance_scores, key=goal_relevance_scores.get)
        goal = next(g for g in team_goals if g.goal_id == max_relevance_goal)
        
        # Add goal-specific insights
        context.insights.append(f"TEAM-GOAL: Supports {goal.title}")
        context.insights.append(f"GOAL-RELEVANCE: {goal_relevance_scores[max_relevance_goal]:.2f}")
        
        # Add goal-specific tags
        context.tags.extend([f"goal-{goal.goal_id}", f"team-{team.team_id}"])
    
    return context

Strategic Objective Mapping

Maps context relevance to high-level strategic objectives:

Objective-Context Mapping

@dataclass
class StrategicObjective:
    objective_id: str
    title: str
    description: str
    business_value: float       # Expected business value (0.0-1.0)
    technical_complexity: float # Technical complexity (0.0-1.0)
    risk_level: float          # Risk level (0.0-1.0)
    
    # Success criteria
    success_metrics: List[str]
    milestone_criteria: List[str]
    completion_indicators: List[str]
    
    # Context mapping
    primary_components: List[str]    # UCXL addresses central to objective
    supporting_components: List[str] # UCXL addresses that support objective
    context_indicators: List[str]   # Patterns that indicate relevance
    
    # Resource allocation
    allocated_team_capacity: float  # Fraction of team time allocated

    dependency_objectives: List[str] # Other objectives this depends on

Objective-Driven Insight Prioritization

def prioritize_insights_by_objectives(
    context: ContextNode,
    objectives: List[StrategicObjective]
) -> ContextNode:
    
    # Calculate context relevance to each objective
    objective_scores = {}
    for objective in objectives:
        relevance = calculate_objective_relevance(context, objective)
        business_weight = objective.business_value * (1.0 / objective.priority_ranking)
        objective_scores[objective.objective_id] = relevance * business_weight
    
    # Sort insights by strategic value
    insight_priorities = []
    for insight in context.insights:
        max_relevance = 0.0
        best_objective = None
        
        for obj_id, score in objective_scores.items():
            insight_relevance = calculate_insight_objective_relevance(insight, obj_id)
            total_score = score * insight_relevance
            if total_score > max_relevance:
                max_relevance = total_score
                best_objective = obj_id
        
        insight_priorities.append((insight, max_relevance, best_objective))
    
    # Reorder insights by strategic priority
    insight_priorities.sort(key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)
    
    # Enhance high-priority insights
    enhanced_insights = []
    for insight, priority, objective_id in insight_priorities:
        if priority > 0.7:
            enhanced_insights.append(f"[HIGH-STRATEGIC-VALUE] {insight}")
        elif priority > 0.4:
            enhanced_insights.append(f"[STRATEGIC] {insight}")
        else:
            enhanced_insights.append(insight)
    
    context.insights = enhanced_insights
    return context

Dynamic Priority Adjustment

    change_id: str
    timestamp: datetime
    change_type: PriorityChangeType  # GOAL_ADDED, GOAL_REMOVED, PRIORITY_CHANGED
    affected_goals: List[str]
    previous_state: Dict[str, Any]
    new_state: Dict[str, Any]
    change_rationale: str
    impact_assessment: str

class AdaptiveContextGenerator:
    def __init__(self):
        self.priority_history = []
        self.context_cache = {}
        self.adaptation_weights = {}
    
    def adjust_for_priority_changes(self, changes: List[PriorityChange]):
        # Analyze priority change patterns
        change_impacts = self.analyze_change_impacts(changes)
        
        # Update adaptation weights
        for change in changes:
            if change.change_type == PriorityChangeType.GOAL_ADDED:
                self.boost_goal_context_generation(change.affected_goals)
            elif change.change_type == PriorityChangeType.PRIORITY_CHANGED:
                self.reweight_goal_priorities(change.affected_goals, change.new_state)
        
        # Invalidate affected context cache
        self.invalidate_affected_cache(change_impacts)
    
    def boost_goal_context_generation(self, goal_ids: List[str]):
        for goal_id in goal_ids:
            self.adaptation_weights[goal_id] = self.adaptation_weights.get(goal_id, 1.0) * 1.5
    
    def reweight_goal_priorities(self, goal_ids: List[str], new_priorities: Dict[str, float]):
        for goal_id in goal_ids:
            if goal_id in new_priorities:
                self.adaptation_weights[goal_id] = new_priorities[goal_id]

    # Correlation analysis
    context_goal_correlation = analyze_context_goal_correlation(metrics_history, goals)
    
    # Identify improvement opportunities
    improvement_areas = identify_improvement_opportunities(
        alignment_trend,
        satisfaction_trend,
        context_goal_correlation
    )
    
    return AlignmentReport(
