`cleanupBrainRefsOnTaskDelete()`

Clean up brain.db references after a task is deleted from tasks.db. Handles: - XFKB-001/002: Nullify brain_decisions.context_epic_id / context_task_id - XFKB-003: Delete brain_memory_links rows where task_id matches - XFKB-005: Delete brain_page_nodes with id=‘task:’ and cascade brain_page_edges This is a best-effort cleanup — brain.db is a cognitive store and minor staleness is preferable to failing task deletions due to brain.db errors. View in API reference

await cleanupBrainRefsOnTaskDelete('T042');

`cleanupBrainRefsOnSessionDelete()`

Clean up brain.db references after a session is deleted from tasks.db. Handles: - XFKB-004: Nullify brain_observations.source_session_id where it matches View in API reference

if (await taskExistsInTasksDb('T042', db)) { /* safe to reference *\/ }

`buildStageGuidance()`

Build structured stage guidance for a given pipeline stage. Resolves the primary skill for the stage from STAGE_SKILL_MAP, composes a prompt from the real SKILL.md files via prepareSpawnMulti(), and returns a StageGuidance object suitable for Pi extension injection or direct CLI rendering. If the skills cannot be resolved, returns a fallback prompt built from STAGE_DEFINITIONS metadata only — no hand-authored protocol text. View in API reference

const guidance = buildStageGuidance('implementation');
// guidance.primarySkill === 'ct-task-executor'
// guidance.loadedSkills === ['ct-task-executor', 'ct-cleo', 'ct-orchestrator']
// guidance.prompt starts with "## Skills Loaded (3 total)"

`formatStageGuidance()`

Format stage guidance as a Markdown-wrapped system prompt. Since buildStageGuidance() now returns the already-composed prompt in .prompt, this helper simply passes it through with a header banner identifying which skills are loaded and which stage is active. View in API reference

const g = buildStageGuidance('research');
const text = formatStageGuidance(g);
return { systemPrompt: text };  // Pi before_agent_start hook return

`PopulateEmbeddingsOptions`

await populateEmbeddings(root, {
  batchSize: 25,
  onProgress: (current, total) => console.log(`${current}/${total}`),
});

  startStage: 'research',
  assignedAgent: 'agent-001'
});
console.log(`Pipeline initialized: ${pipeline.id}`);

`getPipeline()`

Retrieve a pipeline by task ID. Returns the complete pipeline state including current stage and status. Returns null if no pipeline exists for the given task ID. View in API reference

const pipeline = await getPipeline('T4800');
if (pipeline) {
  console.log(`Current stage: ${pipeline.currentStage}`);
}

`advanceStage()`

Advance a pipeline to the next stage. Performs atomic stage transition with prerequisite checking and audit logging. Validates the transition is allowed, updates stage statuses, and records the transition in the audit trail. View in API reference

await advanceStage('T4800', {
  toStage: 'consensus',
  reason: 'Research completed, moving to consensus',
  initiatedBy: 'agent-001'
});

`getCurrentStage()`

Get the current stage of a pipeline. Convenience method to quickly check which stage a task is currently in. View in API reference

const activePipelines = await listPipelines({
  status: 'active',
  limit: 10
});

validatePipelineStage('implementation'); // passes
validatePipelineStage('invalid');        // throws CleoError

`resolveDefaultPipelineStage()`

Determine the default pipeline stage for a new task. Rules (in priority order): 1. If an explicit stage is provided and valid, use it. 2. If the task has a parent, inherit the parent’s pipelineStage. 3. If the task type is ‘epic’, default to ‘research’. 4. Otherwise default to ‘implementation’. View in API reference

resolveDefaultPipelineStage({ taskType: 'epic' });
// => 'research'

resolveDefaultPipelineStage({ taskType: 'task' });
// => 'implementation'

`getPipelineStageOrder()`

Get the numeric order of a pipeline stage (1-based). View in API reference

getPipelineStageOrder('research');       // => 1
getPipelineStageOrder('implementation'); // => 6
getPipelineStageOrder('unknown');        // => -1

`isPipelineTransitionForward()`

Check whether transitioning from currentStage to newStage is forward-only. “Forward” means the new stage’s order is greater than or equal to the current stage’s order (same stage is a no-op and is considered valid). View in API reference

isPipelineTransitionForward('research', 'implementation'); // => true
isPipelineTransitionForward('testing', 'research');        // => false

`validatePipelineTransition()`

Validate a pipeline stage transition and throw if it would move backward. View in API reference

validatePipelineTransition(null, 'research');              // passes (first assignment)
validatePipelineTransition('research', 'implementation');   // passes (forward)
validatePipelineTransition('testing', 'research');          // throws (backward)

`getLifecycleMode()`

Read lifecycle.mode from config. Falls back to “strict” when unset (matches the DEFAULTS in config.ts). View in API reference

const mode = await getLifecycleMode();
// => 'strict' | 'advisory' | 'off'

`validateEpicCreation()`

Validate that a new epic satisfies creation requirements. In strict mode: - At least EPIC_MIN_AC acceptance criteria must be provided. - description must be non-empty (treated as completion criteria). In advisory mode the same checks are run but violations do not block — they are returned as warning text for the caller to surface. In off mode this function is a no-op. View in API reference

await validateEpicCreation({ acceptance: ['AC1','AC2','AC3','AC4','AC5'] });
// => { valid: true }

`validateChildStageCeiling()`

Validate that a child task’s pipeline stage does not exceed its epic’s stage. Call this when: - A child task is created under an epic parent. - A child task’s pipelineStage is updated and it has an epic ancestor. The check walks the task’s ancestor chain to find the nearest epic ancestor. If none exists, the check is skipped. View in API reference

await validateChildStageCeiling(
  { childStage: 'testing', epicId: 'T001' },
  accessor,
);

`findEpicAncestor()`

Find the nearest epic ancestor for a given task. Walks the ancestor chain (root-first) and returns the first task whose type is “epic”, or null if no epic ancestor exists. View in API reference

const epic = await findEpicAncestor('T042', accessor);
if (epic) console.log(epic.id); // e.g. 'T029'

`validateEpicStageAdvancement()`

Validate that an epic can advance its pipeline stage. An epic is blocked from advancing to a later stage when it has at least one child that: - Has a pipeline stage equal to the epic’s current stage, AND - Has a status that is not “done” (i.e., is still in-flight). Rationale: the epic stage represents the stage the team is actively working in. Moving the epic forward while children are unfinished at the current stage violates the pipeline discipline. View in API reference

await validateEpicStageAdvancement(
  { epicId: 'T029', currentStage: 'research', newStage: 'consensus' },
  accessor,
);

`fileExists()`

Check if a file exists and is readable. View in API reference

const { removed } = await removeCleoFromRootGitignore('/project');
if (removed) console.log('.cleo entries cleaned from .gitignore');

`getPackageRoot()`

Resolve the package root directory (where schemas/ and templates/ live). scaffold.ts lives in packages/core/src/, so 1 level up reaches the package root. View in API reference

const root = getPackageRoot();
const schemaPath = join(root, 'schemas', 'config.schema.json');

`getGitignoreContent()`

Load the gitignore template from the package’s templates/ directory. Falls back to embedded content if file not found. View in API reference

const check = checkMemoryBridge('/my/project');
if (check.status === 'warning') console.log('Run: cleo refresh-memory');

`ensureGlobalHome()`

Ensure the global ~/.cleo/ home directory and its required subdirectories exist. Idempotent: skips directories that already exist. Also removes known stale project-level entries that old CLEO versions incorrectly placed at the global level (see STALE_GLOBAL_ENTRIES). This is the SSoT for global home scaffolding, replacing raw mkdirSync calls that were previously scattered across global-bootstrap.ts. View in API reference

const result = await ensureGlobalHome();
console.log(result.action); // "created" or "skipped"

`ensureGlobalTemplates()`

Ensure the global CLEO injection template is installed. Delegates to injection.ts for the template content, but owns the filesystem write to maintain SSoT for scaffolding. Idempotent: skips if the template already exists with correct content. View in API reference

const result = await ensureGlobalTemplates();
if (result.action === 'repaired') console.log('Template updated');

`ensureGlobalScaffold()`

Perform a complete global scaffold operation: ensure home and templates are all present and current. This is the single entry point for global infrastructure scaffolding. Schemas are NOT copied here — they are read at runtime from the npm package path (getPackageRoot() + ‘/schemas/’). Use ensureGlobalSchemas() explicitly from init or upgrade if a copy is needed for a specific workflow. Used by: - CLI startup (via startupHealthCheck in health.ts) - init (for first-time global setup) - upgrade (for global repair) View in API reference

const { home, templates } = await ensureGlobalScaffold();
console.log(home.action, templates.action);

`ensureCleoOsHub()`

Ensure the CleoOS Hub subdirectories exist under the global CLEO home, and seed a starter Justfile Hub if none exists yet. This is the Phase 1 scaffolding entry point. Idempotent: re-running is safe and will not overwrite an existing user-edited justfile. View in API reference

const result = await ensureCleoOsHub();
console.log(result.action); // "created" or "skipped"

const check = checkGlobalTemplates();
console.log(check.details.version);

`checkLogDir()`

Check that the project log directory exists. Read-only: no side effects. View in API reference

const check = checkLogDir('/my/project');
console.log(check.status);

`classifyProject()`

Classify a project directory as greenfield or brownfield. Read-only — never mutates the filesystem. Safe to call at any time. View in API reference

const classification = classifyProject('/my/project');
if (classification.kind === 'greenfield') {
  // Seed initial Vision epic
} else {
  // Run codebase mapping
}

`getAgentCapacity()`

Get task-count-based remaining capacity for an agent. Remaining capacity = MAX_TASKS_PER_AGENT minus the number of tasks currently routed to this agent instance (tracked via the task_id column on agent_instances — each instance handles one task at a time; child agents spawned by an orchestrator appear as sibling rows referencing the same parent_agent_id). For capacity purposes the “active tasks” count is derived from the number of non-terminal sibling rows that share the same parent_agent_id as this agent, plus 1 for the agent’s own current task when task_id is set. View in API reference

const cap = await getAgentCapacity('agt_20260321120000_ab12cd', '/project');
if (cap && cap.available) {
  console.log(`Agent can take ${cap.remainingCapacity} more tasks`);
}

`getAgentsByCapacity()`

List all non-terminal agents sorted by remaining task capacity (descending). Returns agents with the most available slots first, enabling callers to select the least-loaded agent for new work assignment. View in API reference

const agents = await getAgentsByCapacity('executor', '/project');
const best = agents[0]; // most available slots
if (best && best.available) {
  await assignTask(best.agentId, taskId);
}

`getAgentSpecializations()`

Get the specialization/skills list for an agent. Specializations are stored as a string array under the specializations key in the agent’s metadata_json column. An empty array is returned when the field is absent or the agent is not found. View in API reference

const skills = await getAgentSpecializations('agt_20260321120000_ab12cd', '/project');
// ['typescript', 'testing', 'documentation']
if (skills.includes('typescript')) {
  console.log('Agent can handle TypeScript tasks');
}

`updateAgentSpecializations()`

Update the specializations list stored in an agent’s metadata. Merges the new list into the existing metadata_json object, preserving any other keys already present. Returns the updated specializations list, or null if the agent was not found. View in API reference

await updateAgentSpecializations(
  'agt_20260321120000_ab12cd',
  ['typescript', 'testing'],
  '/project',
);

`recordAgentPerformance()`

Record agent performance metrics to the BRAIN execution history. Translates a simplified AgentPerformanceMetrics object into the AgentExecutionEvent format expected by execution-learning.ts and delegates to recordAgentExecution. The agent type is resolved from the agent_instances table so callers only need to supply the agent ID. View in API reference

const decisionId = await recordAgentPerformance('agt_20260321120000_ab12cd', {
  taskId: 'T041',
  taskType: 'task',
  outcome: 'success',
  durationMs: 4200,
  sessionId: 'ses_20260321_abc',
}, '/project');

`recordHeartbeat()`

Record a heartbeat for an agent instance. Updates last_heartbeat to the current time and returns the agent’s current AgentInstanceStatus. Returns null if the agent does not exist or is already in a terminal state (stopped / crashed). This is the primary mechanism by which long-running agents signal liveness. Call this every HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL_MS (30 s) from the agent loop. View in API reference

// Inside the agent's main loop:
const heartbeatTimer = setInterval(async () => {
  const status = await recordHeartbeat(agentId);
  if (status === 'stopped' || status === null) {
    // Orchestrator shut us down — exit cleanly
    clearInterval(heartbeatTimer);
    process.exit(0);
  }
}, HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL_MS);

`checkAgentHealth()`

Check the health of a specific agent instance by ID. Queries the agent’s current record and returns a structured AgentHealthStatus describing staleness, heartbeat age, and whether the agent is considered healthy relative to thresholdMs. Returns null if the agent ID is not found in the database. View in API reference

const health = await checkAgentHealth('agt_20260322120000_a1b2c3');
if (health && health.stale) {
  console.log(`Agent stale for ${health.heartbeatAgeMs}ms — presumed crashed`);
}

`detectStaleAgents()`

Find all non-terminal agents whose last heartbeat is older than thresholdMs. “Stale” means an agent with status starting, active, or idle has not sent a heartbeat within the threshold window. This is a precursor to crash detection — a stale agent may still recover if it is under heavy load. Agents with status stopped or crashed are excluded — they are already in a terminal state and do not participate in the heartbeat protocol. View in API reference

const stale = await detectStaleAgents();
for (const s of stale) {
  console.log(`${s.agentId} has been stale for ${s.heartbeatAgeMs / 1000}s`);
}

`detectCrashedAgents()`

Find agents with status active whose heartbeat has been silent for longer than thresholdMs, and mark them as crashed in the database. An agent is considered crashed when it: 1. Has status active (not idle, starting, stopped, or crashed) 2. Has not sent a heartbeat for longer than thresholdMs Each detected agent is immediately marked crashed via markCrashed, incrementing its error count and writing a reason to agent_error_log. View in API reference

// Inside an orchestrator health watchdog:
const crashed = await detectCrashedAgents();
if (crashed.length > 0) {
  logger.warn({ crashed: crashed.map(a => a.id) }, 'Agents marked crashed');
}

`createRetryPolicy()`

Create a retry policy by merging overrides with the default policy. View in API reference

const policy = createRetryPolicy({ maxRetries: 5 });

`calculateDelay()`

Calculate the delay for a given retry attempt using exponential backoff. View in API reference

const delay = calculateDelay(1, createRetryPolicy());
// => ~2000ms (with jitter)

`shouldRetry()`

Determine whether an error should be retried based on its classification and the retry policy. View in API reference

if (shouldRetry(err, attempt, policy)) { /* retry *\/ }

`withRetry()`

Wrap an async function with retry logic using configurable exponential backoff. View in API reference

const result = await withRetry(() => fetchAgentTask(agentId));
if (!result.success) console.error(result.error);

`recoverCrashedAgents()`

Attempt to recover crashed agents. Finds all agents with status ‘crashed’ and determines if they can be restarted based on their error history.
