• Actions Taken:

    • Implemented a new SWE-Agent workflow inspired by mini-swe-agent directly within the morpheum-bot.
    • Followed a Test-Driven Development (TDD) approach for all new components.
    • Created a new ollamaClient.ts to interact with local Ollama models.
    • Re-implemented the jail interaction logic in a new jailClient.ts.
    • Created a responseParser.ts utility to extract bash commands from the model’s markdown output.
    • Drafted a core prompts.ts file to define the agent’s behavior.
    • Implemented the main agent loop in sweAgent.ts, orchestrating the clients, parser, and conversation history.
    • Integrated the new agent into the Matrix bot with a !swe <task> command.
    • Deprecated and removed the old Gemini CLI integration code.

  • Friction/Success Points:

    • The TDD approach proved highly effective, catching several minor bugs and logic errors early in the development of each module.
    • Ran into several issues with the vitest mocking framework, requiring a more robust mocking strategy to be implemented in the ollamaClient.test.ts.
    • The new, integrated agent is a significant step forward, moving the project away from reliance on an external CLI and towards a self-contained, locally-run agent.

  • Lessons Learned:

    • A strict TDD workflow is invaluable for building complex, interconnected modules, as it ensures each component is reliable before integration.
    • When a mocking library proves difficult, creating a simple, explicit mock implementation can be a faster and more reliable path forward.
