CSV Wave Pipeline
Usage
$csv-wave-pipeline "Implement user authentication with OAuth, JWT, and 2FA"
$csv-wave-pipeline -c 4 "Refactor payment module with Stripe and PayPal"
$csv-wave-pipeline -y "Build notification system with email and SMS"
$csv-wave-pipeline --continue "auth-20260228"
Flags:
-y, --yes: Skip all confirmations (auto mode)
-c, --concurrency N: Max concurrent agents within each wave (default: 4)
--continue: Resume existing session
Overview
Wave-based batch execution using spawn_agents_on_csv with cross-wave context propagation. Tasks are grouped into dependency waves; each wave executes concurrently, and its results feed into the next wave.
Core workflow: Decompose → Compute Waves → Execute Wave-by-Wave → Aggregate
Phase 1: Requirement → CSV
├─ Parse requirement into subtasks (3-10 tasks)
├─ Identify dependencies (deps column)
├─ Compute dependency waves (topological sort → depth grouping)
├─ Generate tasks.csv with wave column
└─ User validates task breakdown (skip if -y)
Phase 2: Wave Execution Engine
├─ For each wave (1..N):
│ ├─ Build wave CSV (filter rows for this wave)
│ ├─ Inject previous wave findings into prev_context column
│ ├─ spawn_agents_on_csv(wave CSV)
│ ├─ Collect results, merge into master tasks.csv
│ └─ Check: any failed? → skip dependents or retry
└─ discoveries.ndjson shared across all waves (append-only)
Phase 3: Results Aggregation
├─ Export final results.csv
├─ Generate context.md with all findings
├─ Display summary: completed/failed/skipped per wave
└─ Offer: view results | retry failed | done
Context Propagation
Two context channels flow across waves:
- CSV findings (structured):
context_from column → prev_context injection — task-specific directed context
- NDJSON discoveries (broadcast):
discoveries.ndjson — general exploration findings available to all
Wave 1 agents:
├─ Execute tasks (no prev_context)
├─ Write findings to report_agent_job_result
└─ Append discoveries to discoveries.ndjson
↓ merge results into master CSV
Wave 2 agents:
├─ Read discoveries.ndjson (exploration sharing)
├─ Read prev_context column (wave 1 findings from context_from)
├─ Execute tasks with full upstream context
├─ Write findings to report_agent_job_result
└─ Append new discoveries to discoveries.ndjson
↓ merge results into master CSV
Wave 3+ agents: same pattern, accumulated context from all prior waves

Per-Wave CSV (Temporary)
Each wave generates a temporary wave-{N}.csv with an extra prev_context column built from context_from by looking up completed tasks' findings in the master CSV:
id,title,description,test,acceptance_criteria,scope,hints,execution_directives,deps,context_from,wave,prev_context

Shared Discovery Board Protocol
All agents across all waves share discoveries.ndjson. This eliminates redundant codebase exploration.
Lifecycle: Created by the first agent to write a discovery. Carries over across waves — never cleared. Agents append via echo '...' >> discoveries.ndjson.
Format: NDJSON, each line is a self-contained JSON:
{"ts":"2026-02-28T10:00:00+08:00","worker":"1","type":"code_pattern","data":{"name":"repository-pattern","file":"src/repos/Base.ts","description":"Abstract CRUD repository"}}
{"ts":"2026-02-28T10:01:00+08:00","worker":"2","type":"integration_point","data":{"file":"src/auth/index.ts","description":"Auth module entry","exports":["authenticate","authorize"]}}
Discovery Types:
| type | Dedup Key | Description |
|---|
code_pattern | data.name | Reusable code pattern found |
integration_point | data.file | Module connection point |
convention | singleton | Code style conventions |
blocker | data.issue | Blocking issue encountered |
tech_stack | singleton | Project technology stack |
test_command | singleton | Test commands discovered |
Protocol Rules:
- Read board before own exploration → skip covered areas
- Write discoveries immediately via
echo >> → don't batch
- Deduplicate — check existing entries; skip if same type + dedup key exists
- Append-only — never modify or delete existing lines

Upstream Handoff Intake (Optional)
csv-wave-pipeline can receive structured context from analyze-with-file or workflow-lite-plan via handoff.json:
const handoffPathMatch = requirement.match(/handoff:(.+\.json)/)
let handoffContext = null
if (handoffPathMatch) {
const handoffPath = handoffPathMatch[1]
if (file_exists(handoffPath)) {
handoffContext = JSON.parse(Read(handoffPath))
requirement = `${handoffContext.summary}\n\n` +
`## Implementation Scope\n${handoffContext.implementation_scope.map((s, i) =>
`${i+1}. **${s.objective}** [${s.priority}]\n Files: ${s.target_files?.join(', ') || 'TBD'}\n Done when: ${s.acceptance_criteria?.join('; ') || 'TBD'}`
).join('\n')}\n\n` +
(handoffContext.key_findings?.length > 0
? `## Key Findings\n${handoffContext.key_findings.map(f => `- ${f.point || f}`).join('\n')}\n\n`
: '') +
(handoffContext.code_anchors?.length > 0
?
: )
(handoffContext.?. && (handoffContext..)) {
codebaseData = .((handoffContext..))
seedDiscoveries = [
...(codebaseData. || []).( .({
: (), : , : ,
: { : p. || p, : p.?.[] || , : p. || }
})),
...(codebaseData. || []).(, ).( .({
: (), : , : ,
: { : f., : f. || f. || }
}))
]
(seedDiscoveries. > ) {
(, seedDiscoveries.() + )
}
}
.()
}
}
Usage with handoff:
$csv-wave-pipeline "handoff:.workflow/.analysis/ANL-2026-04-29-auth/handoff.json"
$csv-wave-pipeline -y "handoff:.workflow/.lite-plan/auth-plan/handoff.json"
When handoff is provided:
implementation_scope[] enriches the CLI decomposition prompt in Phase 1 with pre-analyzed objectives, target files, and acceptance criteria
code_anchors[] give agents specific file:line entry points
exploration_artifacts.exploration_codebase seeds discoveries.ndjson with known patterns and integration points, so Wave 1 agents skip redundant codebase exploration

Phase 1: Requirement → CSV
Objective: Decompose requirement into tasks, compute dependency waves, generate tasks.csv.
Steps:
-
Decompose Requirement
Bash({
command: `ccw cli -p "PURPOSE: Decompose requirement into 3-10 atomic tasks for batch agent execution. Each task must include implementation description, test cases, and acceptance criteria.
TASK:
• Parse requirement into independent subtasks
• Identify dependencies between tasks (which must complete before others)
• Identify context flow (which tasks need previous tasks' findings)
• For each task, define concrete test cases (unit/integration/edge)
• For each task, define measurable acceptance criteria (what defines 'done')
• Each task must be executable by a single agent with file read/write access
MODE: analysis
CONTEXT: @**/*
EXPECTED: JSON object with tasks array. Each task: {id: string, title: string, description: string, test: string, acceptance_criteria: string, scope: string, hints: string, execution_directives: string, deps: string[], context_from: string[]}.
- description: what to implement (specific enough for an agent to execute independently)
- test: what tests to write and how to verify (e.g. 'Unit test: X returns Y; Edge test: handles Z')
- acceptance_criteria: measurable conditions that define done (e.g. 'API returns 200; token expires after 1h')
- scope: target file/directory glob (e.g. 'src/auth/**') — tasks in same wave MUST have non-overlapping scopes
- hints: implementation tips + reference files, format ' || <ref_file1>;<ref_file2>' (e.g. 'Use strategy pattern || src/base/Strategy.ts;docs/design.md')
- execution_directives: commands to run for verification or tool constraints (e.g. 'Run npm test --bail; Ensure tsc passes')
- deps: task IDs that must complete first
- context_from: task IDs whose findings are needed
CONSTRAINTS: 3-10 tasks | Each task is atomic | No circular deps | test and acceptance_criteria must be concrete and verifiable | Same-wave tasks must have non-overlapping scopes
REQUIREMENT: ${requirement}" --tool gemini --mode analysis --rule planning-breakdown-task-steps`,
run_in_background: true
})
// Wait for CLI completion via hook callback
// Parse JSON from CLI output → decomposedTasks[]
2. **Compute Waves** (Kahn's BFS topological sort with depth tracking)
```javascript
// Algorithm:
// 1. Build in-degree map and adjacency list from deps
// 2. Enqueue all tasks with in-degree 0 at wave 1
// 3. BFS: for each dequeued task at wave W, for each dependent D:
// - Decrement D's in-degree
// - D.wave = max(D.wave, W + 1)
// - If D's in-degree reaches 0, enqueue D
// 4. Any task without wave assignment → circular dependency error
//
// Wave properties:
// Wave 1: no dependencies — fully independent
// Wave N: all deps in waves 1..(N-1) — guaranteed completed before start
// Within a wave: tasks are independent → safe for concurrent execution
//
// Example:
// A(no deps)→W1, B(no deps)→W1, C(deps:A)→W2, D(deps:A,B)→W2, E(deps:C,D)→W3
// Wave 1: [A,B] concurrent → Wave 2: [C,D] concurrent → Wave 3: [E]
function computeWaves(tasks) {
const taskMap = new Map(tasks.map(t => [t.id, t]))
const inDegree = new Map(tasks.map(t => [t.id, 0]))
const adjList = new Map(tasks.map(t => [t.id, []]))
for (const task of tasks) {
for (const dep of task.deps) {
if (taskMap.has(dep)) {
adjList.get(dep).push(task.id)
inDegree.set(task.id, inDegree.get(task.id) + 1)
}
}
}
// BFS-based topological sort with depth tracking
const queue = [] // [taskId, depth]
const waveAssignment = new Map()
for (const [id, deg] of inDegree) {
if (deg === 0) {
queue.push([id, 1])
waveAssignment.set(id, 1)
}
}
let maxWave = 1
let idx = 0
while (idx < queue.length) {
const [current, depth] = queue[idx++]
for (const next of adjList.get(current)) {
const newDeg = inDegree.get(next) - 1
inDegree.set(next, newDeg)
const nextDepth = Math.max(waveAssignment.get(next) || 0, depth + 1)
waveAssignment.set(next, nextDepth)
if (newDeg === 0) {
queue.push([next, nextDepth])
maxWave = Math.max(maxWave, nextDepth)
}
}
}
// Detect cycles

if (!waveAssignment.has(task.id)) {
throw new Error(`Circular dependency detected involving task ${task.id}`)
}
}
return { waveAssignment, maxWave }
}
const { waveAssignment, maxWave } = computeWaves(decomposedTasks)

Generate tasks.csv
const header = 'id,title,description,test,acceptance_criteria,scope,hints,execution_directives,deps,context_from,wave,status,findings,files_modified,tests_passed,acceptance_met,error'

Success Criteria: tasks.csv created with valid schema and wave assignments, no circular dependencies, user approved (or AUTO_YES).
Phase 2: Wave Execution Engine
Objective: Execute tasks wave-by-wave via spawn_agents_on_csv. Each wave sees previous waves' results.
Steps:
-
Wave Loop
const failedIds = new Set()
const skippedIds = new Set()
for (let wave = 1; wave <= maxWave; wave++) {
console.log(`\n## Wave ${wave}/${maxWave}\n`)
const masterCsv = parseCsv(Read(`${sessionFolder}/tasks.csv`))
const waveTasks = masterCsv.filter(row => parseInt(row.wave) === wave)
const executableTasks = []
for (const task of waveTasks) {
const deps = task.deps.split(';').filter(Boolean)
if (deps.some(d => failedIds.has(d) || skippedIds.has(d))) {
skippedIds.add(task.id)
updateMasterCsvRow(sessionFolder, task.id, {

TASK ASSIGNMENT
MANDATORY FIRST STEPS
- Read shared discoveries: ${sessionFolder}/discoveries.ndjson (if exists, skip if not)
- Read project context: .workflow/project-tech.json (if exists)
Your Task
Task ID: {id}
Title: {title}
Description: {description}
Scope: {scope}
Implementation Hints & Reference Files
{hints}
Format: ` || <ref_file1>;<ref_file2>`. Read ALL reference files (after ||) before starting implementation. Apply tips (before ||) as implementation guidance.
Execution Directives
{execution_directives}
Commands to run for verification, tool restrictions, or environment requirements. Follow these constraints during and after implementation.
Test Cases
{test}
Acceptance Criteria
{acceptance_criteria}
Previous Tasks' Findings (Context)
{prev_context}
Execution Protocol
- Read references: Parse {hints} — read all files listed after `||` to understand existing patterns
- Read discoveries: Load ${sessionFolder}/discoveries.ndjson for shared exploration findings
- Use context: Apply previous tasks' findings from prev_context above
- Stay in scope: ONLY create/modify files within {scope} — do NOT touch files outside this boundary
- Apply hints: Follow implementation tips from {hints} (before `||`)
- Execute: Implement the task as described
- Write tests: Implement the test cases defined above
- Run directives: Execute commands from {execution_directives} to verify your work
- Verify acceptance: Ensure all acceptance criteria are met before reporting completion
- Share discoveries: Append exploration findings to shared board:
```bash
echo '{"ts":"","worker":"{id}","type":"","data":{...}}' >> ${sessionFolder}/discoveries.ndjson
```
- Report result: Return JSON via report_agent_job_result
Discovery Types to Share
- `code_pattern`: {name, file, description} — reusable patterns found
- `integration_point`: {file, description, exports[]} — module connection points
- `convention`: {naming, imports, formatting} — code style conventions
- `blocker`: {issue, severity, impact} — blocking issues encountered
- `tech_stack`: {runtime, framework, language} — project technology stack
- `test_command`: {command, scope, description} — test commands discovered
Output (report_agent_job_result)
Return JSON:
{
"id": "{id}",
"status": "completed" | "failed",
"findings": "Key discoveries and implementation notes (max 500 chars)",
"files_modified": ["path1", "path2"],
"tests_passed": true | false,
"acceptance_met": "Summary of which acceptance criteria were met/unmet",
"error": ""
}
IMPORTANT: Set status to "completed" ONLY if:
- All test cases pass
- All acceptance criteria are met
Otherwise set status to "failed" with details in error field.

Master CSV Update Helper
function updateMasterCsvRow(sessionFolder, taskId, updates) {
const csvPath = `${sessionFolder}/tasks.csv`
const content = Read(csvPath)
const lines = content.split('\n')
const header = lines[0].split(',')
for (let i = 1; i < lines.length; i++) {
const cells = parseCsvLine(lines[i])
if (cells[0] === taskId || cells[0] === `"${taskId}"`) {
for (const [col, val] of Object.entries(updates)) {
const colIdx = header.indexOf(col)
if (colIdx >= 0) {
cells[colIdx] = `"${String(val).replace(/"/g, '""')}"`
}
}
lines[i] = cells.join(',')
break
}
}
Write(csvPath, lines.join('\n'))
}
Success Criteria: All waves executed in order, each wave's results merged into master CSV before next wave starts, dependent tasks skipped when predecessor failed, discoveries.ndjson accumulated across all waves.
Phase 3: Results Aggregation
Objective: Generate final results and human-readable report.
Steps:
-
Export results.csv
const masterCsv = Read(`${sessionFolder}/tasks.csv`)
Write(`${sessionFolder}/results.csv`, masterCsv)
-
Generate context.md
const tasks = parseCsv(masterCsv)
const completed = tasks.filter(t => t.status === 'completed')
const failed = tasks.filter(t => t.status === 'failed')
const skipped = tasks.filter(t => t.status === 'skipped')

}
} (answer...[] === ) {
.(())
}
}
Success Criteria: results.csv exported, context.md generated, summary displayed to user.
Error Handling
| Error | Resolution |
|---|
| Circular dependency | Detect in wave computation, abort with error message |
| Agent timeout | Mark as failed in results, continue with wave |
| Agent failed | Mark as failed, skip dependent tasks in later waves |
| All agents in wave failed | Log error, offer retry or abort |
| CSV parse error | Validate CSV format before execution, show line number |
| discoveries.ndjson corrupt | Ignore malformed lines, continue with valid entries |
| Continue mode: no session found | List available sessions, prompt user to select |
Rules & Best Practices
Core Rules
- Start Immediately: First action is session initialization, then Phase 1
- Wave Order is Sacred: Never execute wave N before wave N-1 completes and results are merged
- CSV is Source of Truth: Master tasks.csv holds all state — always read before wave, always write after
- Context Propagation: prev_context built from master CSV, not from memory
- Discovery Board is Append-Only: Never clear, modify, or recreate discoveries.ndjson
- Skip on Failure: If a dependency failed, skip the dependent task (don't attempt)
- Cleanup Temp Files: Remove wave-{N}.csv and wave-{N}-results.csv after results are merged
- DO NOT STOP: Continuous execution until all waves complete or all remaining tasks are skipped
Task Design
- Granularity: 3-10 tasks optimal; too many = overhead, too few = no parallelism benefit
- Minimize Cross-Wave Deps: More tasks in wave 1 = more parallelism
- Specific Descriptions: Agent sees only its CSV row + prev_context — make description self-contained
- Context From ≠ Deps:
deps = execution order constraint; context_from = information flow. A task can have context_from without deps (it just reads previous findings but doesn't require them to be done first in its wave)
- Concurrency Tuning:
-c 1 for serial execution (maximum context sharing); -c 8 for I/O-bound tasks
Scenario Recommendations
| Scenario | Recommended Approach |
|---|
| Independent parallel tasks (no deps) | $csv-wave-pipeline -c 8 — single wave, max parallelism |
| Linear pipeline (A→B→C) | $csv-wave-pipeline -c 1 — 3 waves, serial, full context |
| Diamond dependency (A→B,C→D) | $csv-wave-pipeline — 3 waves, B+C concurrent in wave 2 |
| Complex requirement, unclear tasks | Use $roadmap-with-file first for planning, then feed issues here |
| Single complex task | Use $workflow-lite-plan instead |
