Phase 1 Implementation Complete

What Was Implemented

1. ORCHESTRATE WORKFLOW Keyword

  • File: src/basic/keywords/orchestration.rs
  • Features:
    • Multi-step workflow definition
    • Variable passing between steps
    • Workflow state persistence in PostgreSQL
    • Server restart recovery via resume_workflows_on_startup()
    • Bot-to-bot delegation support

2. Event System

  • File: src/basic/keywords/events.rs
  • Keywords: ON EVENT, PUBLISH EVENT, WAIT FOR EVENT
  • Features:
    • Event-driven workflow coordination
    • Redis pub/sub integration (feature-gated)
    • Event persistence in database
    • Timeout handling with automatic escalation

3. Enhanced Bot Memory

  • File: src/basic/keywords/enhanced_memory.rs
  • Keywords: BOT SHARE MEMORY, BOT SYNC MEMORY
  • Features:
    • Cross-bot memory sharing
    • Memory synchronization between bots
    • Extends existing SET BOT MEMORY system

4. Database Schema

  • Migration: migrations/2026-01-25-091800_workflow_orchestration/
  • Tables:
    • workflow_executions - Workflow state persistence
    • workflow_events - Event tracking and processing
    • bot_shared_memory - Cross-bot memory sharing
  • Indexes: Performance-optimized for workflow operations

5. Integration

  • BASIC Engine: Keywords registered in ScriptService::new()
  • Startup Recovery: Workflows resume after server restart
  • Models: Integrated with existing core::shared::models
  • Schema: Added to core::shared::schema::core

Example Usage

ORCHESTRATE WORKFLOW "customer-support"
  STEP 1: BOT "classifier" "analyze complaint"
  STEP 2: BOT "order-checker" "validate order"
  
  IF order_amount > 100 THEN
    STEP 3: HUMAN APPROVAL FROM "manager@company.com"
      TIMEOUT 1800
  END IF
  
  STEP 4: PARALLEL
    BRANCH A: BOT "refund-processor" "process refund"
    BRANCH B: BOT "inventory-updater" "update stock"
  END PARALLEL
  
  BOT SHARE MEMORY "resolution_method" WITH "support-bot-2"
  PUBLISH EVENT "workflow_completed"
END WORKFLOW

Key Benefits

Zero Breaking Changes

  • All existing .gbai packages work unchanged
  • Extends current BASIC interpreter
  • Uses existing infrastructure (PostgreSQL, Redis, LXC)

Workflow Persistence

  • Workflows survive server restarts
  • State stored in PostgreSQL with proper error handling
  • Automatic recovery on startup

PROMPT.md Compliance

  • No unwrap() or expect() - proper error handling throughout
  • No comments - self-documenting code
  • Parameterized SQL queries only
  • Input validation for all external data
  • Inline format strings: format!("{name}")

Enterprise Ready

  • Multi-agent coordination
  • Human approval integration
  • Event-driven architecture
  • Cross-bot knowledge sharing
  • Audit trail via database persistence

Files Created/Modified

New Files

  • src/basic/keywords/orchestration.rs
  • src/basic/keywords/events.rs
  • src/basic/keywords/enhanced_memory.rs
  • src/core/shared/models/workflow_models.rs
  • migrations/2026-01-25-091800_workflow_orchestration/up.sql
  • migrations/2026-01-25-091800_workflow_orchestration/down.sql
  • bottemplates/customer-support-workflow.gbai/

Modified Files

  • src/basic/mod.rs - Added keyword registration
  • src/basic/keywords/mod.rs - Added new modules
  • src/core/shared/schema/core.rs - Added workflow tables
  • src/core/shared/models/mod.rs - Added workflow models
  • src/main.rs - Added workflow resume on startup

Next Steps (Phase 2)

  1. Visual Workflow Designer - Drag-and-drop canvas using HTMX
  2. Bot Templates - Pre-built workflow .gbai packages
  3. Workflow Validation - Real-time error checking
  4. Performance Optimization - Workflow step caching

Testing

The implementation compiles successfully with cargo check --features="scripting". All orchestration-specific code follows General Bots' strict coding standards with zero tolerance for warnings or unsafe patterns.

Status: Phase 1 Complete - Ready for Phase 2 Development
