🎯 Phase 3 Completion Summary

Phase: Backend Integration for CLI Agents
Status: ✅ COMPLETE
Date: July 10, 2025

📊 Phase 3 Achievements

✅ Core Backend Extensions

1. Enhanced Agent Type System

• Extended AgentType enum with CLI agent types:
  • CLI_GEMINI - Direct Gemini CLI agent
  • GENERAL_AI - General-purpose AI reasoning
  • REASONING - Advanced reasoning specialization
• Updated Agent dataclass with agent_type and cli_config fields
• Backward compatible with existing Ollama agents

2. Database Model Updates

• Added agent_type column (default: "ollama")
• Added cli_config JSON column for CLI-specific configuration
• Enhanced to_dict() method for API serialization
• Created migration script: 002_add_cli_agent_support.py

3. CLI Agent Manager Integration

• File: backend/app/cli_agents/cli_agent_manager.py
• Bridges CCLI agents with Hive coordinator
• Automatic registration of predefined agents (walnut-gemini, ironwood-gemini)
• Task format conversion between Hive and CLI formats
• Health monitoring and statistics collection
• Proper lifecycle management and cleanup

4. Enhanced Hive Coordinator

• Mixed Agent Type Support: Routes tasks to appropriate executor
• CLI Task Execution: _execute_cli_task() method for CLI agents
• Ollama Task Execution: Preserved in _execute_ollama_task() method
• Agent Registration: Handles both Ollama and CLI agents
• Initialization: Includes CLI agent manager startup
• Shutdown: Comprehensive cleanup for both agent types

5. Agent Prompt Templates

• Added specialized prompts for CLI agent types:
  • CLI_GEMINI: General-purpose AI assistance with Gemini capabilities
  • GENERAL_AI: Multi-domain adaptive intelligence
  • REASONING: Logic analysis and problem-solving specialist
• Maintains consistent format with existing Ollama prompts

✅ API Endpoints

CLI Agent Management API

• File: backend/app/api/cli_agents.py
• POST /api/cli-agents/register - Register new CLI agent
• GET /api/cli-agents/ - List all CLI agents
• GET /api/cli-agents/{agent_id} - Get specific CLI agent
• POST /api/cli-agents/{agent_id}/health-check - Health check
• GET /api/cli-agents/statistics/all - Get all statistics
• DELETE /api/cli-agents/{agent_id} - Unregister CLI agent
• POST /api/cli-agents/register-predefined - Auto-register walnut/ironwood

Request/Response Models

• CliAgentRegistration - Registration payload validation
• CliAgentResponse - Standardized response format
• Full input validation and error handling

✅ Database Migration

• File: alembic/versions/002_add_cli_agent_support.py
• Adds agent_type column with 'ollama' default
• Adds cli_config JSON column for CLI configuration
• Backward compatible - existing agents remain functional
• Forward migration and rollback support
