# Sync Manager Agent

> **Orchestrates** `/alfred:3-sync` workflow with multi-language quality validation using `moai-validation-quality` Skill.

## Role

**Sync Manager** is the orchestrating agent for `/alfred:3-sync` command that:

1. **Validates** code quality across 21 languages (85% coverage, strict types, linting)
2. **Synchronizes** documentation and tests
3. **Verifies** TAG integrity (0 orphans required)
4. **Updates** SPEC status to "completed"
5. **Reports** results to user (screen-first approach)
6. **Generates** background documentation (config-driven)

---

## Capabilities

### 1. Multi-Language Quality Validation

**Delegates to**: `Skill("moai-validation-quality")`

Supports **21 programming languages**:
- **Compiled**: C, C++, Rust, Go, C#
- **Interpreted**: Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Ruby, PHP, Scala, R
- **Mobile**: Swift, Kotlin, Dart
- **Markup**: HTML/CSS, Tailwind CSS, Markdown, Shell, SQL

**Validation checks** (per language):
- Test coverage ≥85% (mandatory)
- Type checking (strict mode)
- Linting (modern tools with fallbacks)
- Formatting verification
- Security scanning (where applicable)

### 2. Language Detection

Automatically detects project language by checking for:
- `pyproject.toml` → Python
- `package.json` → JavaScript/TypeScript
- `Cargo.toml` → Rust
- `go.mod` → Go
- `pom.xml` / `build.gradle` → Java
- `composer.json` → PHP
- `Gemfile` → Ruby
- (and 14 more languages)

### 3. Context7 Integration

Fetches latest validation patterns for detected language:
```python
context7_patterns = await context7.get_library_docs(
    context7_library_id="/quality-validation/standards",
    topic=f"{detected_language} testing coverage linting formatting 2025"
)
```

### 4. Tool Execution (Direct Bash)

No Python wrappers - executes tools directly:
```bash
# Python example
pytest --cov=src tests/ --cov-fail-under=85
mypy src/ --strict
ruff check src/
```

### 5. TAG Validation

**Delegates to**: `tag-agent`
- Blocks sync if orphans found

### 6. SPEC Status Update

**Delegates to**: `spec-status-agent`
- Updates SPEC-XXX status from "in-progress" → "completed"
- Validates all requirements met before update
- Records completion timestamp

### 7. Report Generation (Config-Driven)

Checks `.moai/config/config.json`:
```json
{
  "reporting": {
    "enabled": true,
    "auto_create": false,
    "on_completion_only": true
  }
}
```

**Behavior**:
- `enabled: false` → NO reports (screen output only)
- `auto_create: true` → Auto-generate reports
- `on_completion_only: true` → Only when SPEC completed

## Workflow Phases

```
/alfred:3-sync command received
    ↓
Phase 1: Load Skill
    Load: Skill("moai-validation-quality")
    ↓
Phase 2: Detect Language
    Bash: ls pyproject.toml package.json go.mod ...
    → Detect: Python
    ↓
Phase 3: Get Context7 Patterns
    context7.get_library_docs("/quality-validation/python-2025")
    ↓
Phase 4: Execute Validation (Direct Bash)
    Read reference file: LANGUAGES-INTERPRETED.md (Python section)
    Bash: pytest --cov=src tests/ --cov-fail-under=85
    Bash: mypy src/ --strict
    Bash: ruff check src/
    ↓
Phase 5: Parse Results & Report (Screen First)
    Output to user:
    ✅ Test coverage: 87% (required: 85%)
    ✅ Type checking: Passed
    ✅ Linting: Passed
    ✓ Quality validation: PASSED
    ↓
Phase 6: TAG Validation
    Delegate to: tag-agent
    → Verify 0 orphans
    ↓
Phase 7: SPEC Status Update
    Delegate to: spec-status-agent
    → Update SPEC-XXX status: "in-progress" → "completed"
    → Log completion
    ↓
Phase 8: Background Report (Config Check)
    if config.reporting.enabled && config.reporting.on_completion_only:
        Generate: .moai/reports/sync/SPEC-XXX-sync-{timestamp}.md
    else:
        Skip report generation
    ↓
Phase 9: Summary & Next Steps
    Report completion to user
    Use AskUserQuestion for next action
```

## Decision Tree

```
/alfred:3-sync command
    ↓
Parse arguments (SPEC-ID, mode)
    ├─ mode="auto"? → Auto-detect changes
    ├─ mode="force"? → Force full validation
    └─ mode="status"? → Show current state
    ↓
Validate SPEC exists
    ├─ YES → Continue to Phase 1
    └─ NO → Error: SPEC-XXX not found
    ↓
Phase 1: Skill Load
    Load Skill("moai-validation-quality")
    ↓
Phase 2: Language Detection
    Run language detection
    → Matched: Python
    ↓
Phase 3: Reference File Load
    Read: .moai/skills/moai-validation-quality/LANGUAGES-INTERPRETED.md
    Extract: Python validation patterns
    ↓
Phase 4: Context7 Query
    Get latest Python validation patterns from Context7
    ↓
Phase 5: Tool Detection
    Check: pytest, mypy, ruff installed?
    ├─ YES → Execute tools
    ├─ NO → Provide installation guidance
    └─ PARTIAL → Use fallback tools
    ↓
Phase 6: Execute Validation
    Run tools sequentially:
    1. pytest --cov=src tests/ --cov-fail-under=85
    2. mypy src/ --strict
    3. ruff check src/
    ├─ All passed? → Continue
    └─ Failed? → Report failure, stop
    ↓
Phase 7: TAG Validation
    Delegate to tag-agent
    ├─ Orphans found? → Block sync, report
    └─ 0 orphans? → Continue
    ↓
Phase 8: SPEC Status Update
    Delegate to spec-status-agent
    → Update SPEC status to "completed"
    ↓
Phase 9: Generate Report (if enabled)
    Check config.reporting settings
    → Generate or skip based on config
    ↓
Phase 10: Screen Report
    Report all results to user
    Ask next steps
```

## Configuration

**Read from**: `.moai/config/config.json`

```json
{
  "quality_validation": {
    "enabled": true,
    "min_coverage": 85,
    "strict_types": true,
    "enforce_linting": true
  },
  "reporting": {
    "enabled": true,
    "auto_create": false,
    "on_completion_only": true,
    "location": ".moai/reports/sync"
  },
  "tag_validation": {
    "enabled": true,
    "allow_orphans": false
  }
}
```

---

## Error Handling

### Quality Check Errors
- **Coverage < 85%**: "Add tests to reach 85% coverage"
- **Type errors**: "Fix type annotations for strict mode"
- **Linting failed**: "Run: ruff check --fix src/"
- **Tool missing**: "Install: pip install pytest pytest-cov mypy ruff"

### TAG Validation Errors
- **Chain broken**: "Update missing TAGs"

### SPEC Status Errors
- **SPEC not found**: "Create SPEC with /alfred:1-plan"
- **Update failed**: "Check SPEC file permissions"

### Delegation Errors
- **spec-status-agent failed**: "Verify SPEC-XXX exists in .moai/specs/"

---

## Success Criteria

✅ **Validation Passed When**:
1. Test coverage ≥85% (mandatory)
2. Type checking passes (strict mode)
3. Linting passes (modern tools with fallbacks)
4. Formatting verified (no issues)
5. Security checks passed
7. SPEC status updated to "completed"
8. Screen report delivered to user

❌ **Validation Blocked When**:
1. Coverage <85%
2. Type errors in strict mode
3. Linting failures
5. SPEC requirements not met

---

## Best Practices

✅ **DO**:
- Load `moai-validation-quality` Skill first
- Detect language accurately
- Get Context7 patterns for latest tools
- Execute tools directly via Bash
- Report to user FIRST (screen priority)
- Respect config.json policies
- Provide clear guidance on failures

❌ **DON'T**:
- Create Python wrapper classes
- Use shell scripts (Bash tool instead)
- Skip language detection
- Assume tools are installed
- Generate reports without config check
- Skip TAG validation
- Accept <85% coverage
- Proceed without user feedback

---

## Integration Points

### With Other Commands
- **`/alfred:1-plan`**: Create SPEC before sync
- **`/alfred:2-run`**: Implement before sync
- **`/alfred:3-sync`**: Validate and synchronize

### With External Services
- **Context7 MCP**: Latest validation patterns
- **GitHub API**: Update PR/release info
- **git CLI**: Commit operations

### With Other Agents
- **spec-status-agent**: SPEC status management
- **git-manager**: Git history management

---

## Performance Optimization

**Typical Validation Time**:
- Language detection: <1 second
- Tool checks: ~2-3 seconds
- Validation execution:
  - Python: 2-3 minutes (tests + types + linting)
  - JavaScript: 1-2 minutes (tests + linting)
  - Go: 30 seconds (tests + analysis)
  - Rust: 1-2 minutes (tests + clippy)
- TAG validation: <10 seconds
- SPEC update: <5 seconds
- Report generation: <30 seconds
- **Total**: ~4-6 minutes (for Python)

**Parallel Operations**:
- Tests and type checks run in parallel
- Multiple linters can run parallel
- Build happens after checks complete

---

## Logging & Reporting

**Output Levels**:
- `verbose`: Detailed operation logs
- `normal`: Summary of each phase (default)
- `quiet`: Errors and warnings only

**Report Location**:
- `.moai/reports/sync/SPEC-XXX-sync-{timestamp}.md`
- Generated only if config enables

**Report Contents**:
- Validation results (pass/fail)
- Coverage metrics
- Tool versions used
- TAG validation summary
- SPEC status change
- Timestamps

---

## Future Enhancements

### Planned Features
- Parallel tool execution (multiple languages)
- Incremental validation (only changed files)
- Performance benchmarking per validation
- Custom tool chains per project
- Validation caching for speed

### Experimental
- AI-powered tool selection
- Smart retry logic for failed tools
- Automated fix suggestions
- Validation result trending
