mm-worktree-task

Purpose

Launch a MiniMax M3 implementation sub-session (via ask-minimax-run) in an isolated git worktree of the current repo, with the prompt assembled from a planner work item, so multiple implementation briefs can run detached and in parallel without touching the main working tree.

Usage

mm-worktree-task <item-uuid> [OPTIONS]

Arguments

Arg	Description
<item-uuid>	Full 36-char planner work-item UUID. Required unless --brief is given together with --slug.

Options

Flag	Default	Description
--slug <slug>	first 8 chars of the uuid	Worktree/branch name suffix. Worktree = <repo>/.claude/worktrees/mm-<slug>, branch = mm/<slug>.
--focus "<line>"	—	One-line focus appended to the task frame.
--brief <file>	—	Escape hatch: use this file as the task body instead of (or in addition to) the fetched item.
--docs all|recent|none	recent	Which item documents to bundle. recent = documents updated in the last 14 days; falls back to all if the CLI does not expose update dates. The full list of document names is always included in the prompt regardless of which are bundled.
--tools "<list>"	—	Extra --allowedTools entries merged into the default allowlist (comma-separated).
--timeout <secs>	1800	Max seconds the sub-session may run (timeout <secs> wrapper).
--upload	off	After the sub-session exits, upload its report as a document on the item and patch flow_state to impl-complete. Implemented only in combination with --collect (see Behaviour §6) since launch is detached.
--collect	off	Don't launch. Print git log --oneline main..HEAD, git diff --stat main...HEAD, and the report file for an already-run slug's worktree.
--dryrun, -n	off	Assemble everything, print the bundle manifest, the full prompt, and the exact command that would run. Create nothing: no worktree, no branch, no launch, no bundle/prompt files left outside the report dir's dryrun preview.
--help, -h	—	Show usage and exit 0.

Environment overrides (for testing)

Var	Effect
MM_WORKTREE_TASK_FAKE_ITEM=<file>	Read item JSON from this file instead of calling cp_cli planner items get.
MM_WORKTREE_TASK_FAKE_DOCS_DIR=<dir>	Read document list/bodies from this directory instead of calling cp_cli planner items documents *. Expected layout: <dir>/list.json ({"documents": [{"name": ..., "updated_at": ...}, ...]}) and <dir>/<name> per document body.

Behaviour

1. Determine repo root: git rev-parse --show-toplevel from cwd. Fail (exit 1) if not inside a git repository.
2. Resolve <slug>: --slug if given, else first 8 chars of <item-uuid> (or required alongside --brief when no uuid is given).
3. Resolve report dir: ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:-/tmp}/mm-worktree-task/<repo-name>/. Create it (unless --dryrun, which only prints the path).
4. Fetch the item (run from repo root, needs the repo's lib), unless MM_WORKTREE_TASK_FAKE_ITEM is set:
   • python3 -m lib.cp_cli planner items get <uuid> --json → fields used: id, title, label, state, flow_state, body, tags, parent_id, related_items.
   • python3 -m lib.cp_cli planner items documents list <uuid> --json → document names (+ updated_at if present).
   • For each document selected by --docs: python3 -m lib.cp_cli planner items documents get <uuid> <name> (fake dir equivalent: read <dir>/<name>).
   • If parent_id is set: fetch the parent item (title + body) via planner items get <parent_id> --json.
   • If related_items includes blocked_by targets: fetch each target's title + state.
   • Fetch sibling tasks under the same parent: planner items list <project> --parent <parent_id> --json if parent_id is set (best-effort; skip silently if the command errors, e.g. flag unsupported for the active project).
   • Fetching uses the operator's own cp_cli auth — the sub-session itself never calls cp_cli.
5. Write <report-dir>/<slug>-bundle.md with ## sections: ## Item, ## Parent (if any), ## Blocked By (if any), ## Siblings (if any), ## Documents (full name list, marking which are bundled below), then one ## Document: <name> section per bundled document with its body. In --dryrun, the bundle is still assembled and its manifest (section list + doc names) is printed, but the file is not written to disk — instead its path is printed as the path that would be written.
6. Create the worktree (skipped entirely under --dryrun and --collect): git worktree add <repo>/.claude/worktrees/mm-<slug> -b mm/<slug> main. Fail clearly (exit 1) if the branch or worktree directory already exists.
7. Assemble the prompt file <report-dir>/<slug>-prompt.txt:
   • Fixed preamble: worktree path and branch; never cd elsewhere, never git push, never git stash, never touch git config; spec-driven (a behaviour change requires the matching spec/*.md requirement in the same commit); Python 3.12 / Pydantic v2 / @pytest.mark.asyncio only; do NOT run the full test suite, only the touched test files; don't fix test infrastructure, mock it; read specs and existing tests before editing, match existing names; keep the diff minimal; commit with git add -A && git commit -m "<type>: <summary> (<uuid>)" after verifying git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD prints mm/<slug>; write the report to <report-dir>/<slug>-result.md with sections Summary / Files changed / Tests run / Decisions / Open questions; one-line stdout ack only.
   • Task frame: Implement work item <uuid>: <title>. Read the bundle at <bundle-path> fully before editing. The item body is the requirement; documents are supporting context. Documents available on the item (not all bundled): <names>.
   • --focus line, if given, appended after the task frame.
   • If --brief <file> is given, its content is appended (or used standalone as the task body when no uuid was given).
8. Launch detached (skipped under --dryrun and --collect):

   cd <worktree> && setsid nohup timeout <secs> ask-minimax-run --model "MiniMax-M3[1m]" \
     --allowedTools "<default-allowlist>[,<--tools>]" --permission-mode acceptEdits \
     --add-dir <report-dir> -p "$(cat <prompt-file>)" \
     > <report-dir>/<slug>-stdout.txt 2>&1
   

   wrapped in a backgrounded subshell that, on exit, appends <slug> rc=<rc> elapsed=<s>s to <report-dir>/launch.log. The parent process returns immediately. Default allowlist: Read,Write,Edit,Glob,Grep,Bash(pytest *),Bash(python3 *),Bash(ruff *),Bash(grep *),Bash(ls *),Bash(git add *),Bash(git commit *),Bash(git status*),Bash(git diff*),Bash(git rev-parse*),Bash(git log*).
9. Print: report dir, prompt file path, stdout file path, launch.log path, and a one-line poll with: tail -f <stdout file> hint.
10. --collect: instead of steps 6-9, for the given <slug>'s existing worktree, print git -C <worktree> log --oneline main..HEAD, git -C <worktree> diff --stat main...HEAD, and the contents of <report-dir>/<slug>-result.md if present. If --upload is also given and the report file exists:
    • python3 -m lib.cp_cli planner items documents put <uuid> mm-<slug>-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md --file <report>
    • python3 -m lib.cp_cli planner items patch <uuid> --flow-state impl-complete --description "mm-worktree-task: <slug> committed on mm/<slug>" --upload without --collect is an error (exit 1): "--upload requires --collect (launch is detached; upload happens after the sub-session has produced a report)".

Dryrun Behaviour

With --dryrun/-n:

• No worktree, branch, bundle file, prompt file, or report-dir directory is created; no ask-minimax-run process is started.
• Prints, in order: resolved slug/uuid/worktree path/branch, the bundle manifest (section names + document names, bundled vs. available-only), the full assembled prompt text, and the exact ask-minimax-run command line that would run (including the resolved allowlist and timeout).
• Exit 0.

Edge Cases

Case	Handling
Not inside a git repo	Error, exit 1
Neither <item-uuid> nor (--brief + --slug) given	Error: item-uuid is required unless --brief and --slug are both given, exit 1
Worktree dir or branch mm/<slug> already exists (non---dryrun, non---collect)	Error, exit 1, no partial state left behind
--collect for a slug with no worktree	Error: no worktree found for slug '<slug>', exit 1
--upload without --collect	Error, exit 1
--docs recent but CLI gives no updated_at	Fall back to --docs all behaviour, note this in bundle ## Documents section
cp_cli sibling-list command unsupported	Skip ## Siblings section silently (best-effort)

Security

• The MiniMax sub-session never calls cp_cli and never receives an operator token; only files (bundle, prompt) are passed into the worktree/report dir via --add-dir.
• The script never reads or prints the MiniMax API key; ask-minimax-run handles provider.env itself.
