# Issue-Driven Dispatch Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (if subagents available) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Agents claim Forge issues, work in sandboxed workspaces with feature branches, and create PRs when done. Assignment = lock (no two agents work the same issue).
**Architecture:** New MCP tool `agentic_dispatch_issue` takes an issue number + repo, assigns the issue to the agent (lock), preps a workspace with the issue body as TODO.md, creates a feature branch `agent/issue-{num}-{slug}`, and dispatches. On completion, a `agentic_pr` tool creates a PR via the Forge API linking back to the issue.
**Tech Stack:** Go, MCP SDK, Forge/Gitea API (go-scm), git
---
## Existing Infrastructure
Already built:
- `agentic_dispatch` — preps workspace + spawns agent (dispatch.go)
- `agentic_scan` — finds issues with actionable labels (scan.go)
- `prepWorkspace()` — clones repo, creates feature branch, writes context files
- `generateTodo()` — fetches issue from Forge API, writes TODO.md
- PrepSubsystem has `forgeURL`, `forgeToken`, `client` fields
The issue flow just wires scan → dispatch together with assignment as the lock.
## File Structure
| File | Action | Purpose |
|------|--------|---------|
| `pkg/mcp/agentic/issue.go` | Create | `agentic_dispatch_issue` + `agentic_pr` tools |
| `pkg/mcp/agentic/prep.go` | Modify | Register new tools |
---
## Task 1: Issue Dispatch Tool
**Files:**
- Create: `pkg/mcp/agentic/issue.go`
- Modify: `pkg/mcp/agentic/prep.go`
- [ ] **Step 1: Create issue.go with input/output types**
```go
// issue.go
package agentic
// IssueDispatchInput for agentic_dispatch_issue
type IssueDispatchInput struct {
Repo string `json:"repo"` // Target repo (e.g. "go-io")
Org string `json:"org,omitempty"` // Forge org (default "core")
Issue int `json:"issue"` // Forge issue number
Agent string `json:"agent,omitempty"` // "gemini", "codex", "claude" (default "claude")
Template string `json:"template,omitempty"` // "conventions", "security", "coding" (default "coding")
DryRun bool `json:"dry_run,omitempty"`
}
// PRInput for agentic_pr
type PRInput struct {
Workspace string `json:"workspace"` // Workspace name
Title string `json:"title,omitempty"` // PR title (default: from issue)
Body string `json:"body,omitempty"` // PR body (default: auto-generated)
Base string `json:"base,omitempty"` // Base branch (default: "main")
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Implement agentic_dispatch_issue**
Flow:
1. Fetch issue from Forge API to validate it exists
2. Check issue is not already assigned (if assigned, return error — it's locked)
3. Assign issue to agent (POST /api/v1/repos/{org}/{repo}/issues/{num} with assignee)
4. Add "in-progress" label
5. Call existing `dispatch()` with the issue number (it already handles TODO.md generation)
```go
func (s *PrepSubsystem) dispatchIssue(ctx context.Context, req *mcp.CallToolRequest, input IssueDispatchInput) (*mcp.CallToolResult, DispatchOutput, error) {
if input.Issue == 0 {
return nil, DispatchOutput{}, fmt.Errorf("issue number is required")
}
if input.Repo == "" {
return nil, DispatchOutput{}, fmt.Errorf("repo is required")
}
if input.Org == "" {
input.Org = "core"
}
if input.Agent == "" {
input.Agent = "claude"
}
// 1. Fetch issue to validate and check assignment
issueURL := fmt.Sprintf("%s/api/v1/repos/%s/%s/issues/%d", s.forgeURL, input.Org, input.Repo, input.Issue)
issueReq, _ := http.NewRequestWithContext(ctx, "GET", issueURL, nil)
issueReq.Header.Set("Authorization", "token "+s.forgeToken)
resp, err := s.client.Do(issueReq)
if err != nil || resp.StatusCode != 200 {
return nil, DispatchOutput{}, fmt.Errorf("issue %d not found in %s/%s", input.Issue, input.Org, input.Repo)
}
defer resp.Body.Close()
var issue struct {
Title string `json:"title"`
Assignee *struct {
Login string `json:"login"`
} `json:"assignee"`
State string `json:"state"`
}
json.NewDecoder(resp.Body).Decode(&issue)
if issue.State != "open" {
return nil, DispatchOutput{}, fmt.Errorf("issue %d is %s, not open", input.Issue, issue.State)
}
// 2. Check lock (assignment)
if issue.Assignee != nil && issue.Assignee.Login != "" {
return nil, DispatchOutput{}, fmt.Errorf("issue %d already assigned to %s", input.Issue, issue.Assignee.Login)
}
// 3. Assign to agent (lock)
if !input.DryRun && s.forgeToken != "" {
assignBody, _ := json.Marshal(map[string]any{"assignees": []string{input.Agent}})
assignReq, _ := http.NewRequestWithContext(ctx, "PATCH", issueURL, bytes.NewReader(assignBody))
assignReq.Header.Set("Authorization", "token "+s.forgeToken)
assignReq.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
s.client.Do(assignReq)
}
// 4. Dispatch via existing dispatch()
return s.dispatch(ctx, req, DispatchInput{
Repo: input.Repo,
Org: input.Org,
Issue: input.Issue,
Task: issue.Title,
Agent: input.Agent,
Template: input.Template,
DryRun: input.DryRun,
})
}
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Implement agentic_pr**
Creates a PR from the agent's feature branch back to main, referencing the issue.
```go
func (s *PrepSubsystem) createPR(ctx context.Context, _ *mcp.CallToolRequest, input PRInput) (*mcp.CallToolResult, map[string]any, error) {
if input.Workspace == "" {
return nil, nil, fmt.Errorf("workspace is required")
}
home, _ := os.UserHomeDir()
wsDir := filepath.Join(home, "Code", "host-uk", "core", ".core", "workspace", input.Workspace)
srcDir := filepath.Join(wsDir, "src")
// Read status to get repo info
st, err := readStatus(wsDir)
if err != nil {
return nil, nil, fmt.Errorf("no status.json: %w", err)
}
// Get current branch name
branchCmd := exec.CommandContext(ctx, "git", "branch", "--show-current")
branchCmd.Dir = srcDir
branchOut, err := branchCmd.Output()
if err != nil {
return nil, nil, fmt.Errorf("failed to get branch: %w", err)
}
branch := strings.TrimSpace(string(branchOut))
// Push branch to forge
pushCmd := exec.CommandContext(ctx, "git", "push", "origin", branch)
pushCmd.Dir = srcDir
if out, err := pushCmd.CombinedOutput(); err != nil {
return nil, nil, fmt.Errorf("push failed: %s", string(out))
}
// Determine PR title and body
title := input.Title
if title == "" {
title = st.Task
}
base := input.Base
if base == "" {
base = "main"
}
body := input.Body
if body == "" {
body = fmt.Sprintf("Automated PR from agent workspace `%s`.\n\nTask: %s", input.Workspace, st.Task)
}
// Create PR via Forge API
org := "core" // TODO: extract from status
prURL := fmt.Sprintf("%s/api/v1/repos/%s/%s/pulls", s.forgeURL, org, st.Repo)
prBody, _ := json.Marshal(map[string]any{
"title": title,
"body": body,
"head": branch,
"base": base,
})
prReq, _ := http.NewRequestWithContext(ctx, "POST", prURL, bytes.NewReader(prBody))
prReq.Header.Set("Authorization", "token "+s.forgeToken)
prReq.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
resp, err := s.client.Do(prReq)
if err != nil {
return nil, nil, fmt.Errorf("PR creation failed: %w", err)
}
defer resp.Body.Close()
var prResult map[string]any
json.NewDecoder(resp.Body).Decode(&prResult)
if resp.StatusCode >= 400 {
return nil, nil, fmt.Errorf("PR creation returned %d", resp.StatusCode)
}
return nil, prResult, nil
}
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Register tools in prep.go**
Add to `RegisterTools()`:
```go
s.registerIssueTools(server)
```
Registration:
```go
func (s *PrepSubsystem) registerIssueTools(server *mcp.Server) {
mcp.AddTool(server, &mcp.Tool{
Name: "agentic_dispatch_issue",
Description: "Dispatch an agent to work on a Forge issue. Assigns the issue (lock), preps workspace with issue body as TODO.md, creates feature branch, spawns agent.",
}, s.dispatchIssue)
mcp.AddTool(server, &mcp.Tool{
Name: "agentic_pr",
Description: "Create a PR from an agent workspace. Pushes the feature branch and creates a pull request on Forge linking to the original issue.",
}, s.createPR)
}
```
- [ ] **Step 5: Verify compilation**
Run: `go vet ./pkg/mcp/agentic/`
Expected: clean
- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
```bash
git add pkg/mcp/agentic/issue.go pkg/mcp/agentic/prep.go
git commit -m "feat(agentic): issue-driven dispatch — claim, branch, PR
New MCP tools:
- agentic_dispatch_issue: assigns issue (lock), preps workspace, dispatches
- agentic_pr: pushes branch, creates PR via Forge API
Assignment = lock — no two agents work the same issue.

## Summary
**Total: 1 task, 6 steps**
After completion, the full issue lifecycle:
1. `agentic_scan` — find issues with actionable labels
2. `agentic_dispatch_issue` — claim issue (assign = lock), prep workspace, spawn agent
3. Agent works in sandboxed workspace with feature branch
4. Agent writes BLOCKED.md if stuck → `agentic_resume` to continue
5. `agentic_pr` — push branch, create PR referencing the issue
6. PR reviewed and merged
Community flow:
- Maintainer creates issue with `agentic` label
- Agent scans, claims, works, PRs
- Maintainer reviews and merges

# Plan CRUD MCP Tools Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (if subagents available) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Add MCP tools for plan lifecycle management — create plans from templates, track phase progress, record checkpoints. Agents can structure their work into plans with phases and tasks, enabling stop/ask/resume workflows.
**Architecture:** Thin HTTP wrappers calling the existing Laravel API at `api.lthn.sh/v1/plans/*`. Same pattern as `brain.NewDirect()` — reads `CORE_BRAIN_KEY` for auth, calls REST endpoints, returns structured results. No local storage needed (the API handles persistence).
**Tech Stack:** Go, MCP SDK, HTTP client, JSON
---
## Existing API Endpoints (Laravel — already built)
```
GET /v1/plans # List plans
GET /v1/plans/{slug} # Get plan detail
POST /v1/plans # Create plan
PATCH /v1/plans/{slug} # Update plan
PATCH /v1/plans/{slug}/phases/{phase} # Update phase
POST /v1/plans/{slug}/phases/{phase}/checkpoint # Add checkpoint
POST /v1/plans/{slug}/phases/{phase}/tasks/{idx}/toggle # Toggle task
```
## File Structure
| File | Action | Purpose |
|------|--------|---------|
| `pkg/mcp/agentic/plans.go` | Create | Plan CRUD MCP tools — create, status, list, checkpoint, update |
| `pkg/mcp/agentic/plans_test.go` | Create | Tests with mock HTTP server |
---
## Task 1: Plan MCP Tools
**Files:**
- Create: `pkg/mcp/agentic/plans.go`
- Modify: `pkg/mcp/agentic/prep.go` (register new tools)
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the plan tools**
Create `plans.go` with 4 MCP tools that wrap the Laravel API:
```go
// plans.go
package agentic
// Tool: agentic_plan_create
// Creates a plan from a template slug with variable substitution.
// POST /v1/plans with { template: slug, variables: {}, title: "", activate: bool }
// Tool: agentic_plan_status
// Gets plan detail including phases, tasks, and progress.
// GET /v1/plans/{slug}
// Tool: agentic_plan_list
// Lists all plans, optionally filtered by status.
// GET /v1/plans?status={status}
// Tool: agentic_plan_checkpoint
// Records a checkpoint on a phase (notes, completion status).
// POST /v1/plans/{slug}/phases/{phase}/checkpoint
```
Input/output types:
```go
// PlanCreateInput for agentic_plan_create
type PlanCreateInput struct {
Template string `json:"template"` // Template slug: bug-fix, code-review, feature, refactor
Variables map[string]string `json:"variables,omitempty"` // Template variables
Title string `json:"title,omitempty"` // Override plan title
Activate bool `json:"activate,omitempty"` // Activate immediately (default: draft)
}
// PlanStatusInput for agentic_plan_status
type PlanStatusInput struct {
Slug string `json:"slug"` // Plan slug
}
// PlanListInput for agentic_plan_list
type PlanListInput struct {
Status string `json:"status,omitempty"` // Filter: draft, active, completed, archived
}
// PlanCheckpointInput for agentic_plan_checkpoint
type PlanCheckpointInput struct {
Slug string `json:"slug"` // Plan slug
Phase int `json:"phase"` // Phase order number
Notes string `json:"notes,omitempty"` // Checkpoint notes
Done bool `json:"done,omitempty"` // Mark phase as completed
}
```
Each tool calls `s.apiCall()` (reuse the pattern from PrepSubsystem which already has `brainURL`, `brainKey`, and `client`).
- [ ] **Step 2: Implement agentic_plan_create**
```go
func (s *PrepSubsystem) planCreate(ctx context.Context, _ *mcp.CallToolRequest, input PlanCreateInput) (*mcp.CallToolResult, map[string]any, error) {
if input.Template == "" {
return nil, nil, fmt.Errorf("template is required")
}
body := map[string]any{
"template": input.Template,
"variables": input.Variables,
"activate": input.Activate,
}
if input.Title != "" {
body["title"] = input.Title
}
result, err := s.planAPICall(ctx, "POST", "/v1/plans", body)
if err != nil {
return nil, nil, fmt.Errorf("agentic_plan_create: %w", err)
}
return nil, result, nil
}
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Implement agentic_plan_status**
```go
func (s *PrepSubsystem) planStatus(ctx context.Context, _ *mcp.CallToolRequest, input PlanStatusInput) (*mcp.CallToolResult, map[string]any, error) {
if input.Slug == "" {
return nil, nil, fmt.Errorf("slug is required")
}
result, err := s.planAPICall(ctx, "GET", "/v1/plans/"+input.Slug, nil)
if err != nil {
return nil, nil, fmt.Errorf("agentic_plan_status: %w", err)
}
return nil, result, nil
}
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Implement agentic_plan_list**
```go
func (s *PrepSubsystem) planList(ctx context.Context, _ *mcp.CallToolRequest, input PlanListInput) (*mcp.CallToolResult, map[string]any, error) {
path := "/v1/plans"
if input.Status != "" {
path += "?status=" + input.Status
}
result, err := s.planAPICall(ctx, "GET", path, nil)
if err != nil {
return nil, nil, fmt.Errorf("agentic_plan_list: %w", err)
}
return nil, result, nil
}
```
- [ ] **Step 5: Implement agentic_plan_checkpoint**
```go
func (s *PrepSubsystem) planCheckpoint(ctx context.Context, _ *mcp.CallToolRequest, input PlanCheckpointInput) (*mcp.CallToolResult, map[string]any, error) {
if input.Slug == "" {
return nil, nil, fmt.Errorf("slug is required")
}
path := fmt.Sprintf("/v1/plans/%s/phases/%d/checkpoint", input.Slug, input.Phase)
body := map[string]any{
"notes": input.Notes,
}
if input.Done {
body["status"] = "completed"
}
result, err := s.planAPICall(ctx, "POST", path, body)
if err != nil {
return nil, nil, fmt.Errorf("agentic_plan_checkpoint: %w", err)
}
return nil, result, nil
}
```
- [ ] **Step 6: Add planAPICall helper**
Reuses `brainURL` and `brainKey` from PrepSubsystem (same API, same auth):
```go
func (s *PrepSubsystem) planAPICall(ctx context.Context, method, path string, body any) (map[string]any, error) {
if s.brainKey == "" {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("no API key (set CORE_BRAIN_KEY)")
}
var reqBody goio.Reader
if body != nil {
data, _ := json.Marshal(body)
reqBody = bytes.NewReader(data)
}
req, _ := http.NewRequestWithContext(ctx, method, s.brainURL+path, reqBody)
req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
req.Header.Set("Accept", "application/json")
req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer "+s.brainKey)
resp, err := s.client.Do(req)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
defer resp.Body.Close()
respData, _ := goio.ReadAll(resp.Body)
if resp.StatusCode >= 400 {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("API %d: %s", resp.StatusCode, string(respData))
}
var result map[string]any
json.Unmarshal(respData, &result)
return result, nil
}
```
- [ ] **Step 7: Register tools in prep.go**
Add to `RegisterTools()`:
```go
s.registerPlanTools(server)
```
And the registration function:
```go
func (s *PrepSubsystem) registerPlanTools(server *mcp.Server) {
mcp.AddTool(server, &mcp.Tool{
Name: "agentic_plan_create",
Description: "Create an agent work plan from a template (bug-fix, code-review, feature, refactor). Plans have phases with tasks and checkpoints.",
}, s.planCreate)
mcp.AddTool(server, &mcp.Tool{
Name: "agentic_plan_status",
Description: "Get plan detail including phases, tasks, progress, and checkpoints.",
}, s.planStatus)
mcp.AddTool(server, &mcp.Tool{
Name: "agentic_plan_list",
Description: "List all plans, optionally filtered by status (draft, active, completed, archived).",
}, s.planList)
mcp.AddTool(server, &mcp.Tool{
Name: "agentic_plan_checkpoint",
Description: "Record a checkpoint on a plan phase. Include notes about progress, decisions, or blockers.",
}, s.planCheckpoint)
}
```
- [ ] **Step 8: Verify compilation**
Run: `go vet ./pkg/mcp/agentic/`
Expected: clean
- [ ] **Step 9: Commit**
```bash
git add pkg/mcp/agentic/plans.go pkg/mcp/agentic/prep.go
git commit -m "feat(agentic): plan CRUD MCP tools — create, status, list, checkpoint
Thin HTTP wrappers calling api.lthn.sh/v1/plans/* REST endpoints.
Same auth pattern as brain tools (CORE_BRAIN_KEY).
Templates: bug-fix, code-review, feature, refactor.

```
---
## Summary
**Total: 1 task, 9 steps**
After completion, agents have 4 new MCP tools:
- `agentic_plan_create` — start structured work from a template
- `agentic_plan_status` — check progress
- `agentic_plan_list` — see all plans
- `agentic_plan_checkpoint` — record milestones
Combined with `agentic_status` + `agentic_resume`, this gives the full lifecycle:
1. Create plan → 2. Dispatch agent → 3. Agent works through phases → 4. Agent hits blocker → writes BLOCKED.md → 5. Reviewer answers → 6. Resume → 7. Agent checkpoints completion
Available templates (from PHP system):
- `bug-fix` — diagnose, fix, test, verify
- `code-review` — audit, report, fix, re-check
- `feature` — design, implement, test, document
- `refactor` — analyse, restructure, test, verify
