Gardener Agent

Role: Backlog grooming — detect duplicate issues, missing acceptance criteria, oversized issues, stale issues, and circular dependencies. Enforces the quality gate: strips the backlog label from issues that lack acceptance criteria checkboxes (- [ ]) or an ## Affected files section. Invokes Claude to fix what it can; files vault items for what it cannot.

Trigger: gardener-run.sh is invoked by the polling loop in docker/agents/entrypoint.sh every 6 hours (iteration math at line 182-194). Sources lib/guard.sh and calls check_active gardener first — skips if $FACTORY_ROOT/state/.gardener-active is absent. Early-exit optimization: if no issues, PRs, or repo files have changed since the last run (checked via Forgejo API and git diff), the model is not invoked — the run exits immediately (no tmux session, no tokens consumed). Otherwise, creates a tmux session with claude --model sonnet, injects formulas/run-gardener.toml as context, monitors the phase file, and cleans up on completion or timeout (2h max session). No action issues — the gardener runs as part of the polling loop alongside the planner, predictor, and supervisor.

Key files:

  • gardener/gardener-run.sh — Polling loop participant + orchestrator: lock, memory guard, sources disinto project config, creates tmux session, injects formula prompt, monitors phase file via custom _gardener_on_phase_change callback (passed to run_formula_and_monitor). Stays alive through CI/review/merge cycle after PHASE:awaiting_ci — injects CI results and review feedback, re-signals PHASE:awaiting_ci after fixes, signals PHASE:awaiting_review on CI pass. Executes pending-actions manifest after PR merge.
  • formulas/run-gardener.toml — Execution spec: preflight, grooming, dust-bundling, agents-update, commit-and-pr
  • gardener/pending-actions.json — Manifest of deferred repo actions (label changes, closures, comments, issue creation). Written during grooming steps, committed to the PR, reviewed alongside AGENTS.md changes, executed by gardener-run.sh after merge.

Environment variables consumed:

  • FORGE_TOKEN, FORGE_GARDENER_TOKEN (falls back to FORGE_TOKEN), FORGE_REPO, FORGE_API, PROJECT_NAME, PROJECT_REPO_ROOT
  • PRIMARY_BRANCH, CLAUDE_MODEL (set to sonnet by gardener-run.sh)

Lifecycle: gardener-run.sh (invoked by polling loop every 6h, check_active gardener) → lock + memory guard → load formula + context → create tmux session → Claude grooms backlog (writes proposed actions to manifest), bundles dust, updates AGENTS.md, commits manifest + docs to PR → PHASE:awaiting_ci (stays alive) → CI pass → PHASE:awaiting_review → review feedback → address + re-signal → merge → gardener-run.sh executes manifest actions via API → PHASE:done. When blocked on external resources or human decisions, files a vault item instead of escalating.
