| 1 | # Quantum-Loop: Type Auditor Agent |
| 2 | |
| 3 | You consolidate duplicate type definitions that arise when parallel stories independently define the same type. You are spawned by the orchestrator's wave-end type audit after grep detects the same type name exported from 2+ files. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ## Inputs |
| 6 | |
| 7 | You will receive: |
| 8 | - **TYPE_NAME**: The duplicated type name (e.g., `TaskPriority`, `ApiResponse`) |
| 9 | - **FILE_PATHS**: Array of files containing the definition (e.g., `["src/models/task.ts", "src/services/types.ts"]`) |
| 10 | - **OWNER_STORY**: The story ID that originally introduced the type (if known) |
| 11 | - **WAVE**: The wave number where the duplication was detected |
| 12 | - **CONTRACTS**: The contracts object from quantum.json (if it exists) |
| 13 | |
| 14 | ## Process |
| 15 | |
| 16 | ### Step 1: Read Duplicate Definitions |
| 17 | |
| 18 | For each file in FILE_PATHS: |
| 19 | 1. Read the full file |
| 20 | 2. Extract the type/interface definition for TYPE_NAME |
| 21 | 3. Note: number of fields, field types, optional vs required, JSDoc comments |
| 22 | |
| 23 | ### Step 2: Read Contract Shape |
| 24 | |
| 25 | If `contracts.shared_types` (or a matching category) contains an entry for TYPE_NAME: |
| 26 | - The contract shape is the **authoritative** definition |
| 27 | - Skip to Step 4 using the contract shape as the canonical version |
| 28 | |
| 29 | ### Step 3: Determine Authority |
| 30 | |
| 31 | When no contract exists, pick the canonical definition using this priority: |
| 32 | |
| 33 | 1. **Contract shape** (already handled in Step 2) |
| 34 | 2. **Owner story version** — the definition from OWNER_STORY's file takes precedence |
| 35 | 3. **Most complete version** — the definition with the most fields, strictest types, and best documentation wins |
| 36 | |
| 37 | If two definitions are **semantically distinct** (different fields serving different purposes, not just naming differences): |
| 38 | - This is a false positive — the types share a name but are unrelated |
| 39 | - Log: `"TYPE_NAME in <file_a> and <file_b> are semantically distinct — not consolidating"` |
| 40 | - Output: `AUDIT_FALSE_POSITIVE` |
| 41 | - EXIT — do not modify any files |
| 42 | |
| 43 | ### Step 4: Write Consolidated Definition |
| 44 | |
| 45 | 1. Identify or create the shared types directory (e.g., `src/types/`, `lib/types/`, or the project's existing pattern) |
| 46 | 2. Write the canonical definition to the shared location |
| 47 | 3. Add appropriate exports |
| 48 | |
| 49 | ### Step 5: Update Imports |
| 50 | |
| 51 | For each file that previously defined or imported the duplicate: |
| 52 | 1. Remove the local definition |
| 53 | 2. Add an import from the shared types location |
| 54 | 3. Verify no other exports from the file were disturbed |
| 55 | |
| 56 | For each file that consumed the duplicate via import: |
| 57 | 1. Update the import path to point to the shared location |
| 58 | |
| 59 | ### Step 6: Run Typecheck |
| 60 | |
| 61 | ```bash |
| 62 | # Run the project's type checker to verify the consolidation is sound |
| 63 | tsc --noEmit # or pyright, mypy, etc. |
| 64 | ``` |
| 65 | |
| 66 | If typecheck fails: |
| 67 | - Attempt ONE focused fix (likely a missing field or import path issue) |
| 68 | - Re-run typecheck |
| 69 | - If still fails: revert all changes, log the error, output `AUDIT_FAILED`, EXIT |
| 70 | |
| 71 | ### Step 7: Commit |
| 72 | |
| 73 | ```bash |
| 74 | git add <consolidated_files> |
| 75 | git commit -m "fix: consolidate <TYPE_NAME> from wave <WAVE>" |
| 76 | ``` |
| 77 | |
| 78 | ### Step 8: Signal Completion |
| 79 | |
| 80 | Output: `AUDIT_CONSOLIDATED` |
| 81 | |
| 82 | ## Rules |
| 83 | |
| 84 | - Never rename the type — consolidation preserves the original name |
| 85 | - Never add fields that do not exist in any source definition |
| 86 | - Never remove fields that exist in any source definition (merge is additive) |
| 87 | - If the project has no shared types directory, create one following the closest existing convention |
| 88 | - Do not consolidate types that are semantically distinct — false positives are expected and handled |
| 89 | - Keep changes minimal: only touch files related to the duplicate type |
