Component: Planner Arm (Task Decomposition Specialist) Version: 1.0 Technology: Python 3.11+ / FastAPI Cost Tier: 2 (Medium) Average Latency: 1-2 seconds

Overview

The Planner Arm decomposes complex tasks into sequential subtasks with clear acceptance criteria, dependencies, and arm assignments.

Core Functionality

Task Decomposition Algorithm

from typing import List, Dict, Any, Optional
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
import openai

class SubTask(BaseModel):
    """A single step in the execution plan."""

    required_arm: str = Field(..., description="Which arm executes this")
    acceptance_criteria: List[str] = Field(..., description="Success conditions")
    depends_on: List[int] = Field(default_factory=list, description="Prerequisite steps")
    estimated_cost_tier: int = Field(1, ge=1, le=5)
    estimated_duration_seconds: int = Field(30, ge=1)

class PlanResponse(BaseModel):
    """Complete execution plan."""
    plan: List[SubTask]
    rationale: str = Field(..., description="Why this approach")
    confidence: float = Field(..., ge=0.0, le=1.0)
    total_estimated_duration: int
    complexity_score: float = Field(..., ge=0.0, le=1.0)

class PlannerArm:
    """Task decomposition specialist."""

    def __init__(self, llm_model: str = "gpt-3.5-turbo"):
        self.model = llm_model
        self.system_prompt = self._build_system_prompt()

    def _build_system_prompt(self) -> str:
        return """You are an expert task planner for a distributed AI system.

Available arms and their capabilities:
- planner: Task decomposition, dependency resolution
- retriever: Search knowledge bases, documentation, web
- coder: Write/debug/refactor code, static analysis
- executor: Run shell commands, API calls, web scraping
- judge: Validate outputs, fact-check, quality assurance
- guardian: PII detection, safety checks, policy enforcement

Your task: Break down complex goals into 3-7 clear, executable steps.

For each step specify:
1. **action**: Clear, imperative description ("Search for...", "Generate...")
2. **required_arm**: Which arm should execute (match capabilities)
3. **acceptance_criteria**: 2-3 verifiable success conditions
4. **depends_on**: List of prerequisite step numbers (empty for first step)
5. **estimated_cost_tier**: 1=cheap, 5=expensive
6. **estimated_duration_seconds**: Realistic time estimate

Rules:
- Steps must be sequential and logically ordered
- Each step must have clear acceptance criteria
- Dependencies must reference earlier steps only
- Prefer specialized arms over generalists
- Include validation steps for critical outputs
- Always end with a verification/quality check step

Output valid JSON matching the PlanResponse schema."""

    ShellRead,        // Read-only commands (ls, cat, grep)
    ShellWrite,       // Write commands (echo >, mkdir)
    ShellExecute,     // Execute scripts

    // Network access
    HttpGet,          // HTTP GET requests
    HttpPost,         // HTTP POST requests
    HttpAllHosts,     // Access any host (vs allowlist)

    // File system
    FilesystemRead,   // Read files
    FilesystemWrite,  // Write files
    FilesystemDelete, // Delete files

    // Special
    PythonExec,       // Run Python scripts
    DockerAccess,     // Access Docker API
}

Summary

This document provides complete Phase 1 specifications for all core OctoLLM components:

  1. Reflex Layer: <10ms preprocessing, PII/injection detection (separate file)
  2. Planner Arm: Task decomposition with dependencies
  3. Executor Arm: Sandboxed command execution with capabilities
  4. Coder Arm: Code generation with local memory
  5. Judge Arm: Multi-layer validation and quality assurance
  6. Safety Guardian: Content filtering and policy enforcement
  7. Retriever Arm: Hybrid search with synthesis
  8. Memory Systems: Global (PostgreSQL) + Local (Qdrant) architecture
  9. API Contracts: Standardized message formats and interfaces

Key Features Across All Specifications

  • Production-Ready Code: 40+ complete Python/Rust implementations
  • Mermaid Diagrams: 15+ architectural and flow diagrams
  • API Specifications: Complete request/response schemas for all endpoints
  • Performance Metrics: Latency targets, cost tiers, success rates
  • Security: Capability-based access control, sandboxing, PII protection
  • Testing: Unit tests, integration tests, benchmarks for each component
  • Deployment: Docker and Kubernetes configurations
  • Observability: Health checks, metrics endpoints, structured logging

Implementation Priority

Week 1-2: Reflex Layer + Orchestrator (already complete) Week 3-4: Planner + Executor + Judge Arms Week 5-6: Coder + Guardian + Retriever Arms Week 7-8: Memory Systems + API Integration Week 9-10: Testing, Performance Tuning, Documentation

Next Steps

  1. Create individual files for each arm specification (if needed for organization)
  2. Begin implementation starting with Reflex Layer and Orchestrator
  3. Set up infrastructure (PostgreSQL, Redis, Qdrant, Kubernetes)
  4. Implement arms in order of complexity
  5. Build integration tests between components
  6. Deploy to staging environment for validation
