AgentMsgs Ephemeral Bus Implementation Plan

For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (- [ ]) syntax for tracking.

Goal: Replace prototype App/Thread/gng with an interface-hidden ephemeral chat bus (Agent/Thread/Message + Store + ops + App) where InMemoryStore and SQLiteStore are swappable behind Store.

Architecture: Pure domain types in core/types.py → dumb Store Protocol in core/store.py → logic in core/ops.py → thin App facade. stores/memory.py and stores/sqlite.py implement Store (WAL sqlite for cross-CLI). No FastMCP code in this plan.

Tech Stack: Python >=3.14, sqlite3 stdlib (WAL), pytest 9.1.1, uv, dataclasses + Protocol, UUID + datetime

Spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-01-agentmsgs-ephemeral-bus-design.md

Global Constraints

• Python >=3.14 (from pyproject.toml:9)
• No new runtime dependencies (sqlite3 is stdlib)
• core/ stays framework-agnostic — no fastmcp/sqlite imports in types.py/ops.py beyond Store Protocol
• Agents ephemeral <7h — TTL deferred, only explicit delete_agent/delete_thread now
• Name soft-unique via get_or_create_agent (reuse), hard-unique via create_agent (raise)
• Thread frozen + id-keyed (allow multiple threads per participant set, unlike core/app.py:9 frozenset key)
• has_unread fixed: cursor < max_seq, optional exclude_own

---

File Map

• Create: src/agentmsgs/core/types.py — Agent, Message, Thread frozen dataclasses
• Create: src/agentmsgs/core/store.py — Store Protocol
• Modify: src/agentmsgs/core/ops.py — was empty ops.py:1, now all domain logic
• Modify: src/agentmsgs/core/app.py — thin facade (replace dict[frozenset,Thread])
• Create: src/agentmsgs/stores/__init__.py
• Create: src/agentmsgs/stores/memory.py
• Create: src/agentmsgs/stores/sqlite.py
• Modify: src/agentmsgs/core/__init__.py — export new types + stores
• Modify: src/agentmsgs/__init__.py — remove demo main() logic (move to examples/demo.py) or keep shim calling App
• Delete: src/agentmsgs/utils.py (gng), tests/gng/test_usual.py (or keep until Task 7)
• Tests: tests/test_types.py, tests/test_store_memory.py, tests/test_store_sqlite.py, tests/test_ops.py, tests/test_app.py

Task 1: Domain Types

Files:

• Create: src/agentmsgs/core/types.py
• Test: tests/test_types.py

Interfaces:

• Consumes: stdlib uuid, datetime

• Produces: Agent(id: UUID, name: str), Message(id: UUID, sender: Agent, content: str, seq: int, ts: datetime), Thread(id: UUID, participants: frozenset[Agent], created_at: datetime) — all frozen, Agent hash/eq on id only

• Step 1: Write the failing test

# tests/test_types.py
import uuid
from agentmsgs.core.types import Agent, Thread, Message
import datetime

def test_agent_identity_on_id_not_name():
    a1 = Agent(id=uuid.uuid4(), name="Alice")
    a2 = Agent(id=uuid.uuid4(), name="Alice")
    assert a1 != a2  # different id => not equal even though name same
    assert hash(a1) != hash(a2)

def test_agent_hash_on_id():
    uid = uuid.uuid4()
    a1 = Agent(id=uid, name="Alice")
    a2 = Agent(id=uid, name="Bob")  # same id, different name => equal per design (id is identity)
    assert a1 == a2
    assert hash(a1) == hash(a2)

def test_thread_multiple_with_same_participants_allowed():
    a = Agent(id=uuid.uuid4(), name="A")
    b = Agent(id=uuid.uuid4(), name="B")
    t1 = Thread(id=uuid.uuid4(), participants=frozenset({a,b}), created_at=datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc))
    t2 = Thread(id=uuid.uuid4(), participants=frozenset({a,b}), created_at=datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc))
    assert t1 != t2
    assert t1.participants == t2.participants

• Step 2: Run test to verify it fails

Run: uv run pytest tests/test_types.py -v Expected: FAIL with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'agentmsgs.core.types'

class Agent:
    id: uuid.UUID

    def __eq__(self, other): return isinstance(other, Agent) and self.id == other.id

@dataclass(frozen=True, slots=True)
class Message:
    id: uuid.UUID
    sender: Agent
    content: str

    ts: datetime.datetime

@dataclass(frozen=True, slots=True)

Update core/__init__.py to export Agent, Thread, Message from types.

• Step 4: Run test to verify it passes

Run: uv run pytest tests/test_app.py tests/test_ops.py tests/test_types.py -v Expected: PASS

• Step 5: Commit

git add src/agentmsgs/core/app.py src/agentmsgs/core/__init__.py tests/test_app.py
git commit -m "feat: thin App facade over ops/store"

Task 7: Cleanup & Wiring

Files:

• Modify: src/agentmsgs/__init__.py — remove demo main() or move to examples/demo.py
• Delete: src/agentmsgs/utils.py (gng), tests/gng/test_usual.py or keep as deprecated
• Create: examples/demo.py (optional) — shows App(SQLiteStore()) opencode<->codex flow
• Modify: pyproject.toml — ensure pythonpath still correct, no new deps

Interfaces:

• Consumes: all previous tasks

• Produces: no gng import, demo not executed on import

• Step 1: Write the failing test (import shouldn't run demo)

# tests/test_no_gng.py
def test_gng_removed():
    import importlib
    try:
        import agentmsgs.utils
        assert False, "utils should be deleted"
    except ModuleNotFoundError:
        pass
    # importing agentmsgs shouldn't print
    import agentmsgs
    assert hasattr(agentmsgs, "main") or True

• Step 2: Run test to verify it fails

Run: uv run pytest tests/test_no_gng.py -v Expected: FAIL (utils still exists)

• Step 3: Write minimal implementation

• Delete src/agentmsgs/utils.py

• Move src/agentmsgs/__init__.py:1 demo to examples/demo.py:

# examples/demo.py
from pathlib import Path
from agentmsgs.core.app import App
from agentmsgs.stores.sqlite import SQLiteStore
def main():
    app = App(store=SQLiteStore(Path.home()/".agentmsgs.db"))
    alice = app.get_or_create_agent("Alice"); bob = app.get_or_create_agent("Bob")
    t = app.create_thread(alice,bob)
    app.append(t.id, alice, "Hello")
    print(app.poll(t.id, bob))
if __name__=="__main__": main()

• Keep src/agentmsgs/__init__.py minimal: from .core.app import App; from .core.types import Agent, Thread, Message

• Remove tests/gng/ dir

• Step 4: Run test to verify it passes

Run: uv run pytest -q Expected: PASS (all 6 tasks' tests)

• Step 5: Commit

git add src/agentmsgs/__init__.py src/agentmsgs/utils.py tests/gng examples/demo.py
git commit -m "chore: remove gng, move demo out of lib init"

Self-Review

• Spec coverage: types (Task1), Store Protocol (Task2), InMemory (Task3), SQLite WAL (Task4), ops validation/join/has_unread/delete_account (Task5), App facade for FastMCP (Task6), gng removal/demo wiring (Task7) — all covered. TTL deferred as requested, delete_agent explicit in Store+ops+App.
• No placeholders: every step has runnable test code + impl sketch with exact file paths.
• Type consistency: Agent.id: UUID used everywhere, Thread.participants: frozenset[Agent], Message.seq: int monotonic, Store methods consistent across memory/sqlite/ops/App.
