Delegation and task logs

[cwatson-sidub]

I'm noticing a lack of mode switching. Even with Roo Commander, it'll just try to do everything itself - have tried enabling power steering without success. If I'm explicit about telling it to change modes, it will, but it doesn't seem to work well (it only changes modes that one time and then my technical architect does all the development instead of switching to senior dev).

[jjaex]

Same issue. Had it last build which was fixed when I upgraded to the new version, but now it's not working again. I've tried many different models and routers.

[partounian]

Are you using 7.1.5 or building from main?

[jjaex]

7.15

[jjaex]

I did a clean install on my project of 7.15 and it's working for me. I think I had messed up the upgrade or I had a folder ref in my .rooignore that shouldn't have been.

[fede-ciliberti]

Same here. I had to do some modifications to avoid that. In general I feel like modes try to do everything by themselves.

[partounian]

@fede-ciliberti what modifications did you make?

[partounian]

Even on the latest version, it still requires a lot of directing to other specialists / modes for proper delegation.

[partounian]

Besides regularly yelling at Roo, enabling Power Steering seems to help.

(could also be an issue with Gemini API compared to Vertex API version of Gemini?)

[cwatson-sidub]

The root cause here, it seems, is that occasionally / frequently (can't determine the cause) the mode seems completely oblivious to its roles / responsibilities.

It feels obvious when it is not working, as requests and tasks should be writing to the /.ruru/ folder... it's almost like it doesn't know it exists.

[partounian]

In the Discord, Jez (the maintainer) mentions that he is currently working on a full rewrite cleanup. That along with the new whenToUse field, it should hopefully not do that much anymore.

I used Roo to revise the .roomodes into the new schema. I additionally uninstalled VS Code (User) and installed VS Code (system) - ensuring I deleted appdata cache and other things (fresh install). Not sure I can paste everything, but I installed the roomodes into global, and copied the .roo / .ruru into my fresh "helloWorldTest" folder. I'm now seeing some improvement - as I mentioned, its obvious when it works and when it doesn't... you should see session, task, note, etc. files being created in .ruru if its working (in my opinion).

that looks good

@fede-ciliberti what modifications did you make?

Basically, what I did was force the workflow behavior. For example: I instructed the lead-* agents, or those delegating a sub-task, to be required to evaluate the result, and only if the completed task meets the evaluator’s criteria, then it is closed—otherwise, it is sent back with the discrepancy noted.
The agent receiving the task is instructed to return it marked as “pending review.”

Usually, the problem with hogging the process thread comes from the fact that, when generating code, they receive feedback from VSCode about errors, and that leads them to want to fix them. They get lost like a dog chasing a ball down the stairs.

Ya'll, I unzipped the wallaby zip in my workspace. Set it up it seems to be working but I don't see anything inside .ruru/tasks or decisions anything it's just doing stuff without logging anything.

That's a sign it's not really working. While functional, it has to rebuild its knowledge / context on each new request... subsequent requests are unaware of prior work.
