# CFN Docker Redis Coordination Skill

**Purpose:** Provide Redis-based coordination, state management, and communication for container-based CFN Loop execution with swarm recovery capabilities.

## Overview

This skill manages all Redis-based coordination activities for docker-based agents, including task context storage, agent state management, completion signaling, consensus collection, and swarm recovery.

## Architecture

```bash
CFN Docker Coordinator
    ↓ (context storage)
Redis (State Management)
    ↓ (pub/sub messaging)
Agent Containers
    ↓ (completion signals)
Consensus Collection
    ↓ (decision flow)
Product Owner Decision
```

## Core Functions

### 1. Task Context Management
Store and retrieve task context for swarm recovery:

```bash
# Store task context
cfn-docker-redis-coordination store-context \
  --task-id task-authentication \
  --context-file task-context.json \
  --ttl 3600

# Retrieve task context
cfn-docker-redis-coordination get-context \
  --task-id task-authentication \
  --agent-id agent-frontend-001
```

### 2. Agent Registration and Status
Track agent lifecycle and status:

```bash
# Register agent
cfn-docker-redis-coordination register-agent \
  --agent-id agent-frontend-001 \
  --agent-type react-frontend-engineer \
  --container-id abc123 \
  --task-id task-authentication

# Update agent status
cfn-docker-redis-coordination update-status \
  --agent-id agent-frontend-001 \
  --status running \
  --iteration 1
```

### 3. Completion Signaling
Handle agent completion and confidence reporting:

```bash
# Signal completion
cfn-docker-redis-coordination signal-complete \
  --agent-id agent-frontend-001 \
  --task-id task-authentication \
  --confidence 0.85 \
  --iteration 1
```

### 4. Consensus Collection
Collect and analyze consensus from validators:

```bash
# Collect Loop 2 consensus
cfn-docker-redis-coordination collect-consensus \
  --task-id task-authentication \
  --loop-number 2 \
  --required-consensus 0.90 \
  --timeout 300
```

### 5. Swarm Recovery
Enable recovery from interruptions with state persistence:

```bash
# Recover swarm state
cfn-docker-redis-coordination recover-swarm \
  --task-id task-authentication \
  --restart-failed-agents
```

## Redis Data Structure

### Task Context Storage
```redis
# Task context (JSON)
HSET "cfn_docker:task:{task_id}:context" \
  "epic_goal" "Implement user authentication" \
  "deliverables" '["auth-service.js","login-form.html"]' \
  "acceptance_criteria" '["Users can register","Login works","Passwords encrypted"]' \
  "in_scope" '["authentication","security"]' \
  "out_of_scope" '["user profiles","social login"]'

# Context metadata
HSET "cfn_docker:task:{task_id}:meta" \
  "created_at" "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z" \
  "ttl" "3600" \
  "created_by" "cfn-docker-v3-coordinator"
```

### Agent State Management
```redis
# Agent registration
HSET "cfn_docker:agent:{agent_id}" \
  "agent_type" "react-frontend-engineer" \
  "container_id" "abc123" \
  "task_id" "task-authentication" \
  "status" "running" \
  "iteration" "1" \
  "created_at" "2025-01-15T10:05:00Z"

# Agent status history
LPUSH "cfn_docker:agent:{agent_id}:status_history" \
  '{"status":"spawning","timestamp":"2025-01-15T10:05:00Z"}' \
  '{"status":"running","timestamp":"2025-01-15T10:06:00Z"}'
```

### Completion Signaling
```redis
# Agent completion signal
LPUSH "cfn_docker:task:{task_id}:agent:{agent_id}:done" "complete"

# Confidence reporting
HSET "cfn_docker:task:{task_id}:confidence:{agent_id}" \
  "confidence" "0.85" \
  "iteration" "1" \
  "reported_at" "2025-01-15T10:30:00Z" \
  "agent_type" "react-frontend-engineer"
```

### Consensus Tracking
```redis
# Loop 2 consensus collection
HSET "cfn_docker:task:{task_id}:loop2:consensus" \
  "total_validators" "3" \
  "responses_received" "3" \
  "average_confidence" "0.92" \
  "consensus_reached" "true" \
  "decision" "PROCEED"

# Individual validator responses
HSET "cfn_docker:task:{task_id}:loop2:validator:{validator_id}" \
  "confidence" "0.90" \
  "feedback" "Implementation meets requirements" \
  "suggested_changes" "None" \
  "iteration" "1"
```

## Usage Patterns

### Task Initialization
```bash
# Initialize coordination for new task
cfn-docker-redis-coordination init-task \
  --task-id task-authentication \
  --context-file task-context.json \
  --loop-count 5 \
  --consensus-threshold 0.90
```

### Agent Lifecycle Management
```bash
# Register multiple agents
for agent in frontend backend security; do
  cfn-docker-redis-coordination register-agent \
    --agent-id "agent-${agent}-001" \
    --agent-type "${agent}-developer" \
    --task-id task-authentication
done

# Monitor agent status
cfn-docker-redis-coordination monitor-agents \
  --task-id task-authentication \
  --wait-for-complete
```

cfn-docker-redis-coordination wait-loop \
  --task-id task-authentication \
  --loop-number 3 \
  --agent-count 3 \
  --timeout 600

# Collect Loop 2 consensus
cfn-docker-redis-coordination collect-consensus \
  --task-id task-authentication \
  --loop-number 2 \
