/hep-storm
Drive a goal through the Stormbreaker Loop — Hephaestus' force-robust,
verifier-first execution loop — inside this workspace. Unlike a
one-shot answer or a generic parallel fan-out, Stormbreaker routes the goal to
real Agentlas specialists, structures the work as a dependency-ordered pipeline
fabric, drives each work packet as a hardened goal loop (it does not stall,
run away, or claim false success), and refuses to report success without
evidence. Also triggered by @Hephaestus storm <goal>.
Use it for loop-worthy work: apps, sites, agents, automations, debugging,
multi-step research, data/report generation — anything with files, tools, tests,
or external verification. Trivial questions should be answered directly, not
stormed.
Core-owned Goal + UltraCode harness
Every result includes execution_harness. Apply
execution_harness.system_prompt verbatim before planning or executing packets,
retain its prompt_sha256, and never redefine Goal mode or UltraCode mode in
this adapter. Pass live session JSON with AGENTLAS_SESSION_INVENTORY when the
host provides it; otherwise use Core's explicit host:primary fallback.
The goal is the exact text the user typed after /hep-storm.
How to run
Run the shell block below verbatim, replacing only the GOAL value with the
user's exact goal text. The block resolves the Hephaestus runner by absolute
path and runs it — there is nothing to install and nothing to add to PATH.
In an agentic runtime you are the executor: the engine gives you the verified
plan (the execution fabric); you carry it out with your own tools.
Guardrails — do NOT do any of these. They are not how this workflow works and
have caused fabricated reports before:
- Do NOT diagnose
command not found or PATH, and do NOT edit ~/.zshrc.
The runner is resolved by absolute path inside the block.
- Do NOT claim a packet, gate, or external action succeeded without the
verifier's evidence. A materialized or scheduled run is not proof.
- If the runner is genuinely missing, say so and stop. Never fabricate a fix
or a run.

Act on the route decision
Read route_decision.action (or route_action) and branch — Stormbreaker only
auto-materializes a full fabric for a pipeline; other actions still start a
storm, just with the workforce the router chose:
action: "pipeline" — the result carries the execution_fabric (packets,
parallel_groups, sessions, resume_policy), per-packet write_scope and
goal/verifier, a pipeline_id, a journal path, and final_gate criteria.
Run the full loop in "Run the Stormbreaker Loop" below.
action: "clarify" — the goal is ambiguous. Ask clarify_question with the
candidate list as ONE batch, then re-run the block with the refined goal. This
is the scope-lock ambiguity gate; do not guess past it.
action: "route" (single card) — a one-agent storm: borrow and run that card
attached to this project, then still apply the verify → repair → final-gate
steps.
action: "hub_fallback" / "hub_candidates" — Hub lookup used redacted
keywords only. If an execution block lists recommended_agents, borrow each
in stage order via "$RUNNER" hep-call "<agent>" "<goal>" --project . and run
them attached to this repo; otherwise report candidates and offer /hep-build.
action: "propose_new" — no fit exists; offer to build one via /hep-build.
action: "refuse" — explain reasons (e.g. loop guard) and stop. Do not retry
around it.
Run the Stormbreaker Loop over the fabric
Execute the goal to completion under this protocol. Do not stop to ask for
confirmation — this is a force-robust run. Only halt when the goal is verified,
or you are genuinely blocked by auth, payment, policy, a missing secret/tool, or
a required user approval.
- scope-lock — Restate the goal as one sentence and lock to it. Check the
route decision's failure-memory. If (and only if) the goal is too ambiguous to
decompose safely, ask ONE batch of 3–5 questions (what NOT to do / smallest
version / done signal / dependencies), then proceed. If it is already specific,
ask nothing.
- issue contract — Write the acceptance criteria: the concrete, checkable
done-signal for each packet and for the whole goal. These become the loop's
stop criteria.
- plan-lock — Adopt the fabric's
parallel_groups and depends_on ordering
as the plan. Open a visible goal ledger: packet, owner, verification gate,
status, resume point.
- act — Execute the next unblocked group. Run independent packets in the
group concurrently where the runtime supports it. When a packet's
card names
an Agentlas specialist, borrow and run it attached to this project via
"$RUNNER" hep-call "<card>" "<goal>" --project . rather than role-playing it.
Write artifacts to each packet's write_scope.
- verify — A packet passes only with separately attributable, validated
verification. A
loop.goal_command exiting 0 may end the goal loop, but it
cannot verify the executor's own output or self-attest success. Require an
independent verifier and hash-validated artifact evidence. "It ran" is never
success.
- bounded repair/retry — On a concrete validation failure, repair and re-run
that packet — bounded. Honor the goal-loop budget: tolerate transient failures
with backoff, stop a packet as
stalled after consecutive no-progress
iterations, and never exceed its iteration ceiling. A resumed run continues
from the journal, it does not restart.
- final-gate — Report success only if the fabric's final gate clears
(
can_report_success). Run the evidence/security gate on produced artifacts.
Keep visible progress concise: what was attempted, what was verified, and
exactly where to resume if blocked. Never expose hidden reasoning — show
progress, evidence, decisions, and final status only.
Loop invariants (why this beats a one-shot loop)
- Don't break (안 끊기게): a transient packet failure is journaled and retried
with backoff, not fatal. Only a genuine streak of hard failures stops the run.
- Don't run away: a hard iteration ceiling plus stall detection — measured
no-progress stops the loop as
stalled instead of spinning.
- Keep the goal until done (될 때까지): the loop reports
reached_goal only
when the verifier proves it. No bare "it ran" ever counts.
- Survive a hard stop: every packet is a journal step, so a killed run resumes
its numbering from the journal instead of colliding or restarting from zero.
Hard rules
- No fake pass. If the engine is unavailable, an account/tool/connector/browser
session is missing, or a gate did not run, report the run as blocked or
unverified with the exact next step — never as complete. A scheduled or
materialized run is not proof that an external action succeeded.
- The router only chooses agents and fetches BYOM bundles. Actual tool execution
follows this runtime's own safety and permission model.
- Report the
receipt_id, pipeline_id, and journal path in your final message
so the run is auditable and resumable.
