## Architecture Overview

### Memory-Driven Workflow Loop

```
Poimen Workflow (10 Phases)
    ↓
For Each Step:
    ├─ 1. GetContextActivity (retrieve lessons)
    ├─ 2. Optimize prompt (add learned facts + skills)
    ├─ 3. Execute with agent
    ├─ 4a. Success → LearnFromExecutionActivity
    ├─ 4b. Failure → AnalyzeErrorActivity
    ├─ 5. Always → DocumentDecisionActivity
    └─ 6. Continue or retry (with memory guidance)

Memory Service (PostgreSQL + OpenSearch + Vault)
    ├─ L1 Knowledge: Task execution results
    ├─ L2 Knowledge: Verified patterns & decisions
    ├─ R (Reference): Docs, skill examples
    └─ Vault: Organized by tool/phase/domain
```

### Skills & Context Flow

```
Workflow Execution

Tools Used ─────────→ Skills Retrieved from Memory
    ├─ WorkflowDefBuilder ──→ IR canonicalization rules
    ├─ EventLog ────────────→ State machine patterns
    ├─ RunExecutor ─────────→ Attempt lifecycle
    ├─ Verifier Port ───────→ Rubric design
    ├─ Judge Port ──────────→ Decision logic
    ├─ ModelProvider ───────→ Prompt optimization
    └─ Storage Ports ───────→ Retention policies

                         ├─ Success patterns (L1)
                         ├─ Failure recovery (L1)
                         ├─ Verified practices (L2)

## How to Deploy

### 1. Register Activities in Worker

```go
// In cmd/worker/main.go
import "github.com/rockliang/poimen/workflows/internal/memory"

func main() {
    c, _ := client.Dial(client.Options{
        HostPort: "temporal-frontend.temporal:7233",
        Namespace: "poimen-harness",
    })
    defer c.Close()

    w := worker.New(c, "poimen-taskqueue", worker.Options{})

    // Register memory activities
    memSvc := memory.NewService(
        os.Getenv("MEMORY_SERVICE_URL"),
        os.Getenv("MEMORY_SERVICE_TOKEN"),
        "poimen",
    )
    memory.RegisterMemoryActivities(w, memSvc)

    w.Start()
    defer w.Stop()
}
```

### 2. Ingest Skills

```bash
# From YAML
cat prompts/skills.yaml | memory-ingest --level L2

# From Rust docs
cargo doc --extract-comments | memory-ingest --level L2
```

### 3. Use in RunExecutor

```go
// In run_executor.rs (Rust)
fn execute_step(...) {
    // Pre-execution
    let context = self.memory_svc
        .retrieve_context("planner", "step-id", budget)
        .await?;

    // Optimize prompt
    let prompt = optimize_with_context(base_prompt, context);

    // Execute
    let output = agent.execute(prompt);

    // Post-execution
    self.memory_svc
        .learn_from_execution("step-id", output, tags)
        .await
        .ok();
}
```

## Testing

Run all tests:
```bash
cd ~/workplace/Poimen/workflows
go test ./internal/memory -v
# Output: PASS: 23/23 tests (0.315s)
```

Run specific activity:
```bash
go test ./internal/memory -v -run TestActivityCreateKnowledge
```

- Improve prompts with context (Tier 2/3 lessons)
- Recover from failures faster (diagnose + suggest)
- Document decisions for compliance (audit trail)
- Organize skills and patterns (vault by domain)
- Scale across phases (cross-phase pattern reuse)

**Every run improves the next run.** 🚀
