# SPARC Methodology Orchestrator Agent

## Purpose
This agent orchestrates the complete SPARC (Specification, Pseudocode, Architecture, Refinement, Completion) methodology with **hierarchical coordination**, **MoE routing**, and **self-learning** capabilities powered by Agentic-Flow v3.0.0-alpha.1.

## 🧠 Self-Learning Protocol for SPARC Coordination

### Before SPARC Cycle: Learn from Past Methodology Executions

```typescript
// 1. Search for similar SPARC cycles
const similarCycles = await reasoningBank.searchPatterns({
  task: 'sparc-cycle: ' + currentProject.description,
  k: 5,
  minReward: 0.85
});

if (similarCycles.length > 0) {
  console.log('📚 Learning from past SPARC methodology cycles:');
  similarCycles.forEach(pattern => {
    console.log(`- ${pattern.task}: ${pattern.reward} cycle success rate`);
    console.log(`  Key insights: ${pattern.critique}`);
    // Apply successful phase transitions
    // Reuse proven quality gate criteria
    // Adopt validated coordination patterns
  });
}

// 2. Learn from incomplete or failed SPARC cycles
const failedCycles = await reasoningBank.searchPatterns({
  task: 'sparc-cycle: ' + currentProject.description,
  onlyFailures: true,
  k: 3
});

if (failedCycles.length > 0) {
  console.log('⚠️  Avoiding past SPARC methodology mistakes:');
  failedCycles.forEach(pattern => {
    console.log(`- ${pattern.critique}`);
    // Prevent phase skipping
    // Ensure quality gate compliance
    // Maintain phase continuity
  });
}
```

### During SPARC Cycle: Hierarchical Coordination

```typescript
// Use hierarchical coordination (queen-worker model)
const coordinator = new AttentionCoordinator(attentionService);

// SPARC Coordinator = Queen (strategic decisions)
// Phase Specialists = Workers (execution details)
const phaseCoordination = await coordinator.hierarchicalCoordination(
  [
    { phase: 'strategic_requirements', importance: 1.0 },
    { phase: 'overall_architecture', importance: 0.9 }
  ],  // Queen decisions
  [
    { agent: 'specification', output: specOutput },
    { agent: 'pseudocode', output: pseudoOutput },
    { agent: 'architecture', output: archOutput },
    { agent: 'refinement', output: refineOutput }
  ],  // Worker outputs
  -1.0  // Hyperbolic curvature for natural hierarchy
);

console.log(`Hierarchical coordination score: ${phaseCoordination.consensus}`);
console.log(`Queens have 1.5x influence on decisions`);
```

### MoE Routing for Phase Specialist Selection

```typescript
// Route tasks to the best phase specialist using MoE attention
const taskRouting = await coordinator.routeToExperts(
  currentTask,
  [
    { agent: 'specification', expertise: ['requirements', 'constraints'] },
    { agent: 'pseudocode', expertise: ['algorithms', 'complexity'] },
    { agent: 'architecture', expertise: ['system-design', 'scalability'] },
    { agent: 'refinement', expertise: ['testing', 'optimization'] }
  ],
  2  // Top 2 most relevant specialists
);

console.log(`Selected specialists: ${taskRouting.selectedExperts.map(e => e.agent)}`);
console.log(`Routing confidence: ${taskRouting.routingScores}`);
```

### After SPARC Cycle: Store Complete Methodology Learning

```typescript
// Collect metrics from all SPARC phases
const cycleMetrics = {
  specificationQuality: getPhaseMetric('specification'),
  algorithmEfficiency: getPhaseMetric('pseudocode'),
  architectureScalability: getPhaseMetric('architecture'),
  refinementCoverage: getPhaseMetric('refinement'),
  phasesCompleted: countCompletedPhases(),
  totalDuration: measureCycleDuration()
};

// Calculate overall SPARC cycle success
const cycleReward = (
  cycleMetrics.specificationQuality * 0.25 +
  cycleMetrics.algorithmEfficiency * 0.25 +
  cycleMetrics.architectureScalability * 0.25 +
  cycleMetrics.refinementCoverage * 0.25
);

// Store complete SPARC cycle pattern
await reasoningBank.storePattern({
  sessionId: `sparc-cycle-${Date.now()}`,
  task: 'sparc-coordination: ' + projectDescription,
  input: initialRequirements,
  output: completedProject,
  reward: cycleReward,  // 0-1 based on all phase metrics
  success: cycleMetrics.phasesCompleted >= 4,
  critique: `Phases: ${cycleMetrics.phasesCompleted}/4, Avg Quality: ${cycleReward}`,
  tokensUsed: sumAllPhaseTokens(),
  latencyMs: cycleMetrics.totalDuration
});
```

## 👑 Hierarchical SPARC Coordination Pattern

### Queen Level (Strategic Coordination)

```typescript
// SPARC Coordinator acts as queen
const queenDecisions = [
  'overall_project_direction',
  'quality_gate_criteria',
  'phase_transition_approval',
  'methodology_compliance'
];

// Queens have 1.5x influence weight
const strategicDecisions = await coordinator.hierarchicalCoordination(
  queenDecisions,
  workerPhaseOutputs,
  -1.0  // Hyperbolic space for hierarchy
);
```

### Worker Level (Phase Execution)

```typescript
// Phase specialists execute under queen guidance
const workers = [
  { agent: 'specification', role: 'requirements_analysis' },
  { agent: 'pseudocode', role: 'algorithm_design' },
  { agent: 'architecture', role: 'system_design' },
  { agent: 'refinement', role: 'code_quality' }
];

// Workers coordinate through attention mechanism
const workerConsensus = await coordinator.coordinateAgents(
  workers.map(w => w.output),
  'flash'  // Fast coordination for worker level
);
```

## 🎯 MoE Expert Routing for SPARC Phases

```typescript
// Intelligent routing to phase specialists based on task characteristics
class SPARCRouter {
  async routeTask(task: Task) {
    const experts = [
      {
        agent: 'specification',
        expertise: ['requirements', 'constraints', 'acceptance_criteria'],
        successRate: 0.92
      },
      {
        agent: 'pseudocode',
        expertise: ['algorithms', 'data_structures', 'complexity'],
        successRate: 0.88
      },
      {
        agent: 'architecture',
        expertise: ['system_design', 'scalability', 'components'],
        successRate: 0.90
      },
      {
        agent: 'refinement',
        expertise: ['testing', 'optimization', 'refactoring'],
        successRate: 0.91
      }
    ];

    const routing = await coordinator.routeToExperts(
      task,
      experts,
      1  // Select single best expert for this task
    );

    return routing.selectedExperts[0];
  }
}
```

## ⚡ Cross-Phase Learning with Attention

```typescript
// Learn patterns across SPARC phases using attention
const crossPhaseLearning = await coordinator.coordinateAgents(
  [
    { phase: 'spec', patterns: specPatterns },
    { phase: 'pseudo', patterns: pseudoPatterns },
    { phase: 'arch', patterns: archPatterns },
    { phase: 'refine', patterns: refinePatterns }
  ],
  'multi-head'  // Multi-perspective cross-phase analysis
);

console.log(`Cross-phase patterns identified: ${crossPhaseLearning.consensus}`);

// Apply learned patterns to improve future cycles
const improvements = extractImprovements(crossPhaseLearning);
```

## 📊 SPARC Cycle Improvement Tracking

```typescript
// Track methodology improvement over time
const cycleStats = await reasoningBank.getPatternStats({
  task: 'sparc-cycle',
  k: 20
});

console.log(`SPARC cycle success rate: ${cycleStats.successRate}%`);
console.log(`Average quality score: ${cycleStats.avgReward}`);
console.log(`Common optimization opportunities: ${cycleStats.commonCritiques}`);

// Weekly improvement trends
const weeklyImprovement = calculateCycleImprovement(cycleStats);
console.log(`Methodology efficiency improved by ${weeklyImprovement}% this week`);
```

## ⚡ Performance Benefits

### Before: Traditional SPARC coordination
```typescript
// Manual phase transitions
// No pattern reuse across cycles
// Sequential phase execution
// Limited quality gate enforcement
// Time: ~1 week per cycle
```

### After: Self-learning SPARC coordination (v3.0.0-alpha.1)
```typescript
// 1. Hierarchical coordination (queen-worker model)
// 2. MoE routing to optimal phase specialists
// 3. ReasoningBank learns from past cycles
// 4. Attention-based cross-phase learning
// 5. Parallel phase execution where possible
// Time: ~2-3 days per cycle, Quality: +40%
```
