Sprint 1 Plan_ Biomimetic Agentic Orchestration Layer

Date: 2026-04-14
Status: Proposed Sprint 1 execution plan
Program: Project Velocity Colony Orchestration Layer

Purpose

This plan defines the first implementation sprint for the biomimetic colony orchestration layer. The sprint goal is not full autonomy. The sprint goal is to create the minimum production-grade orchestration spine that can be integrated into Project Velocity without destabilizing the current root.

Sprint 1 Goals

Sprint 1 must validate four architectural truths:

1. A forked Open Multi Agent kernel can be adapted into a Project Velocity orchestration service.
2. Nemoclaw-derived governance can sit outside worker prompts and still allow useful execution.
3. Oracle and CRM can use the colony runtime through explicit adapter boundaries.
4. The biomimicry role model can be implemented as a disciplined architecture rather than only a metaphor.

Sprint 1 Scope

In Scope

• fork plan and package structure
• mission envelope schema
• task graph schema
• prompt package schema
• first colony runtime skeleton
• planner role
• prompt master role
• librarian role
• researcher role stub with provider interface
• worker execution
• aggregation and review roles
• policy gateway abstraction
• Oracle adapter
• CRM adapter
• mission and artifact persistence
• observability and audit baseline

Out of Scope

• autonomous public posting
• full Sentinel autonomy
• long-running checkpoint resume
• multi-tenant public marketplace
• generalized self-modifying colony behavior

Milestones

Milestone 1: Fork and Runtime Skeleton

Expected outcome:

• create fork boundary
• isolate upstream kernel primitives
• define service packaging

Milestone 2: Artifact Contracts

Expected outcome:

• all core mission artifacts versioned
• planners and adapters code against stable schemas

Milestone 3: Planner, Prompt Master, Librarian

Expected outcome:

• decomposition flow exists
• prompt packages exist
• librarian passes exist

Milestone 4: Oracle and CRM Integration

Expected outcome:

• at least two real mission classes run through the colony

Milestone 5: Governance and Review Closure

Expected outcome:

• review pass and policy gating both function

Workstreams

Workstream A: Fork and Service Boundary

Tasks:

• fork Open Multi Agent into a dedicated service boundary
• preserve MIT license and attribution
• define which upstream files remain core and which become Velocity-specific extensions

Acceptance criteria:

• service starts independently
• upstream kernel compiles
• Project Velocity extension folders exist cleanly

Workstream B: Artifact and Schema Layer

Tasks:

• define schema files
• version artifact envelopes
• add validation utilities

Acceptance criteria:

• invalid mission and artifact payloads are rejected deterministically
• every pipeline stage reads and writes explicit typed artifacts

Workstream C: Colony Roles

Tasks:

• implement planner role
• implement prompt master role
• implement librarian role
• implement aggregator role
• implement reviewer role

Acceptance criteria:

• mission can move through all five stages with traceable artifacts

Workstream D: Research and Tooling

Tasks:

• define external search provider interface
• define browser provider interface
• define citation artifact shape

Acceptance criteria:

• a research task can return structured evidence with provenance

Workstream E: Governance

Tasks:

• define policy decision contract
• classify tool families
• classify model routing tiers
• validate writeback actions

Acceptance criteria:

• a blocked tool or blocked writeback is rejected before execution and logged

Workstream F: Velocity Adapters

Tasks:

• Oracle adapter MVP
• CRM adapter MVP
• request and response mapping
• artifact persistence linkage

Acceptance criteria:

• Oracle and CRM can each run one real mission class through the colony

Suggested Roles

Suggested engineering ownership:

• orchestration kernel engineer
• policy and safety engineer
• backend integration engineer
• prompt systems engineer
• QA and observability engineer

These can be combined if team size is small, but the role boundaries should remain explicit.

Timeline

Week 1

• finalize fork boundary
• define schema layer
• stand up runtime skeleton
• implement planner and prompt master contracts

Week 2

• implement librarian and research interfaces
• implement aggregator and reviewer
• add audit traces

Week 3

• integrate Oracle mission
• integrate CRM mission
• add governance gates

Week 4

• run end-to-end test scenarios
• harden observability
• finalize Sprint 1 review package

Acceptance Criteria by Sprint End

Sprint 1 is successful if the team can demonstrate:

• one Oracle mission running through the colony end to end
• one CRM mission running through the colony end to end
• task DAG decomposition with explicit artifact traces
• prompt packages created by a dedicated prompt master stage
• librarian passes routing internal knowledge
• at least one external research step with citations
• aggregation and one-pass review
• policy rejection for at least one disallowed action

Risks and Mitigation

Risk 1: Overbuilding the metaphor

Mitigation:

Treat each ant role as a software responsibility with a schema and interface, not as narrative decoration.

Risk 2: Open Multi Agent becomes too invasive

Mitigation:

Keep the fork behind a dedicated service boundary. Avoid scattering upstream assumptions through the Python root.

Risk 3: Governance slows the system too much

Mitigation:

Apply risk-tiered policy. Not every mission needs the heaviest controls.

Risk 4: Prompt Master becomes an opaque black box

Mitigation:

Version templates, examples, and outputs. Evaluate prompt packages with golden tests.

Risk 5: Librarian becomes a data leak vector

Mitigation:

Use explicit passes with resource family scopes and expirations.

Architectural Decisions to Validate in Sprint 1

The sprint should explicitly validate:

• TypeScript colony runtime plus Python root is a workable split
• mission persistence is needed immediately, not later
• one-pass review is enough for normal missions
• librarian-pass routing materially improves quality and cost
• prompt-master separation improves worker quality

Repository Placement

This Sprint 1 artifact set belongs under:

• .Agent Context/Sprint 1/

Implementation work should likely land under:

• services/colony-orchestrator/
• backend/services/
• backend/api/

Bottom Line

Sprint 1 should not try to build the whole ant colony civilization.

Sprint 1 should prove the minimum viable colony:

• plan
• route
• execute
• review
• govern
• integrate with Oracle and CRM

If those six things work cleanly, the rest of the ecosystem can grow on top of a stable spine.
