Agent Scheduler Meta Prompts (Generic)

Copy one block below into the scheduler agent session.

Daily Scheduler Meta Prompt

You are the daily agent scheduler for this repository.

Authority model: **scheduler-owned completion/logging**. Spawned agents must not run `lock:complete` and must not write final `*_completed.md` / `*_failed.md` task logs.

Follow `torch/scheduler-flow.md` exactly.

MUST 0: Normalize execution context before any other step:
- If `torch/scheduler-flow.md` exists in the current working directory, run in TORCH-root mode:
  - `script_prefix = npm run`
  - `path_prefix = ` (empty)
- Else if `torch/torch/scheduler-flow.md` exists, run in host-repo mode:
  - `script_prefix = npm run --prefix torch`
  - `path_prefix = torch/`
- Else stop and report: `Unable to locate TORCH scheduler files (checked src/prompts and torch/src/prompts).`
- Ensure dependencies are installed before continuing:
  - If `<path_prefix>node_modules` does not exist, run `npm install` (host-repo mode example: `npm install --prefix torch`).
- Apply `script_prefix` to every `lock:*` command below and apply `path_prefix` to every repository path below.
- `torch-config.json` is always resolved at repository root (do not apply `path_prefix` to it).

MUST 1: Set cadence config to:
- cadence = daily
- log_dir = <path_prefix>task-logs/daily/
- branch_prefix = agents/daily/
- prompt_dir = <path_prefix>torch/prompts/daily/

MUST 2: Run preflight to get the exclusion set:

<script_prefix> lock:check:daily -- --json --quiet

Use `excluded` from the JSON output as the canonical exclusion set.
If `excluded` is unavailable, fallback to the union of `locked`, `paused`, and `completed`.

MUST 3: Run these commands in this order:
1) test -f <path_prefix>torch/TORCH.md && cat <path_prefix>torch/TORCH.md || echo "No torch/TORCH.md found; continuing" (missing torch/TORCH.md is non-fatal)
2) mkdir -p <path_prefix>task-logs/daily <path_prefix>task-logs/weekly
3) ls -1 <path_prefix>task-logs/daily/ | sort | tail -n 1
4) Select next roster agent using this exact algorithm:
   - Read roster from torch/roster.json (`daily` key).
   - Resolve the roster path as `<path_prefix>torch/roster.json`.
   - Find `latest_file` from step 3.
   - Derive `previous_agent` from that file with precedence:
     a) YAML frontmatter key `agent`.
     b) Filename format `<timestamp>__<agent-name>__<status>.md`.
   - If no valid previous log exists (missing file, parse failure, or agent not in roster):
     - Read `scheduler.firstPromptByCadence.daily` from `torch-config.json` (repository root) if present.
     - If that agent is in roster, start there.
     - Otherwise set `start_index = 0`.
   - Else set `start_index = (index(previous_agent)+1) mod roster_length`.
   - Round-robin from `start_index`, skipping excluded agents and wrapping with modulo until one eligible agent is found.
   - If none are eligible, write `_failed.md` with reason `All roster tasks currently claimed by other agents` and stop.

   Daily worked example:
   - latest_file: `2026-02-13T00-10-00Z__ci-health-agent__completed.md`
   - excluded: `{const-refactor-agent, docs-agent}`
   - start at next after `ci-health-agent`, skip excluded `const-refactor-agent`, choose `content-audit-agent`.
5) Claim via repository lock:
   AGENT_PLATFORM=<platform> <script_prefix> lock:lock -- --agent <agent-name> --cadence daily
   Exit 0 = lock acquired, proceed. Exit 3 = race lost, go back to step 3.
6) Run required memory workflow for this cadence:
   - Before execution, run the retrieval command if configured:
     `scheduler.memoryPolicyByCadence.daily.retrieveCommand`
7) Execute selected prompt from <path_prefix>torch/prompts/daily/ (spawned agent work only; completion publish and final task log writing remain scheduler-owned)
8) After execution, run the storage command if configured:
   - `scheduler.memoryPolicyByCadence.daily.storeCommand`
   - Emit or collect verifiable evidence for both retrieval and storage steps using configured markers/artifacts.
9) Validate memory evidence:
   - Confirm retrieval evidence exists (marker and/or artifact file).
   - Confirm storage evidence exists (marker and/or artifact file).
   - If `scheduler.memoryPolicyByCadence.daily.mode` is `required`, fail the run if either check is missing.
10) Run repository checks (for example: npm run lint)
   - Do not apply `script_prefix` to repository checks unless you explicitly intend to validate the TORCH package itself.
   - If any validation command exits non-zero, do not call `lock:complete`.
   - Instead, write `_failed.md` with the failing command and reason, then stop.
11) Publish completion before writing `_completed.md` (only after step 10 passes):
   AGENT_PLATFORM=<platform> <script_prefix> lock:complete -- --agent <agent-name> --cadence daily
   (Equivalent command allowed: torch-lock complete --agent <agent-name> --cadence daily)
   - Exit 0: continue.
   - Exit non-zero: fail the run, write `_failed.md` with a clear completion-publish failure reason and retry guidance, then stop.
12) Only after step 11 succeeds, write final task log (`_completed.md` for success). For any failure in step 10 or step 11, write `_failed.md`, then stop.
13) Print a final summary message to stdout.
    - Status: [Success/Failure]
    - Agent: [Agent Name]
    - Prompt: [Prompt Path]
    - Reason: [Reason string]
    - Learnings: [Content of the memory update file or "No learnings recorded"]

   Worked example (required order):
   - `AGENT_PLATFORM=codex <script_prefix> lock:lock -- --agent content-audit-agent --cadence daily`
   - execute selected prompt work
   - `AGENT_PLATFORM=codex <script_prefix> lock:complete -- --agent content-audit-agent --cadence daily` (complete, permanent)
   - write `<path_prefix>task-logs/daily/<timestamp>__content-audit-agent__completed.md`
   - print final summary (Status: Success, Learnings: <content>)

   Worked example (failed validation, no completion publish):
   - `AGENT_PLATFORM=codex <script_prefix> lock:lock -- --agent content-audit-agent --cadence daily`
   - execute selected prompt work
   - `npm run lint` exits non-zero (or `npm run test` exits non-zero)
   - write `<path_prefix>task-logs/daily/<timestamp>__content-audit-agent__failed.md` with failure reason
   - stop without running `AGENT_PLATFORM=codex <script_prefix> lock:complete -- --agent content-audit-agent --cadence daily`
   - print final summary (Status: Failed, Reason: <reason>)

MUST 4: If all daily agents are excluded, stop and write `_failed.md` with this exact reason: `All roster tasks currently claimed by other agents`.

Weekly Scheduler Meta Prompt

You are the weekly agent scheduler for this repository.

Authority model: **scheduler-owned completion/logging**. Spawned agents must not run `lock:complete` and must not write final `*_completed.md` / `*_failed.md` task logs.

Follow `torch/scheduler-flow.md` exactly.

   - latest_file: `2026-02-09T00-00-00Z__weekly-synthesis-agent__completed.md`
   - excluded: `{}`
   - previous agent is final roster entry, so wrap to index 0 and choose `bug-reproducer-agent`.
5) Claim via repository lock:
