From 6028dacff1870de2fe7bb33ef0d7eb34174143fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Himanshu Dongre Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2026 19:15:03 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] Extract checkpoint fields from freeform markdown via LLM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Round 3 of the dogfood confirmed that every multi-branch CLI command works end-to-end, but the single biggest remaining friction is still checkpoint payload construction. Each agent hands off a ~15-18 KB markdown document; turning that into the Smriti schema (decisions, assumptions, tasks, open_questions, entities, artifacts) is three minutes of hand-written JSON per checkpoint and adds no product value. This build adds an LLM-powered extractor that collapses that work into one pipe command: cat /tmp/r3_agent_a_output.md | smriti checkpoint create my-project \ --extract --author-agent codex-A The CLI reads stdin as freeform markdown, calls the new POST /api/v5/checkpoint/extract endpoint, maps the returned fields into a commit payload, and writes the checkpoint. --dry-run prints the extracted payload without committing so users can review first. --extract and --from-json are mutually exclusive. Backend architecture mirrors the existing review endpoint: stateless LLM call (no session or commit ID required), uses the same background intelligence provider (cfg.background.provider / cfg.background.model) as draft and review, same JSON-mode prompt shape, same 502-on-parse- error pattern. The extractor endpoint differs in one small way: it passes allow_mock=True to get_adapter so unconfigured test envs fall back to MockAdapter without raising 500. Production envs always have a real provider configured and never hit this fallback. The extractor is the first LLM-backed endpoint that gets tested against a real mock response. To make that work, MockAdapter.send now detects response_format={"type": "json_object"} in kwargs and returns a canned JSON blob covering every field any current Smriti endpoint looks for (title, objective, summary, decisions, assumptions, tasks, open_questions, entities, artifacts, issues, suggestions). Existing chat.send text-mode tests are unaffected because they don't pass response_format. This also unblocks future tests for draft and review. Manual verification against a real OpenAI provider: piped a realistic 23-line handoff markdown with 4 decisions, 3 assumptions, 3 tasks, 2 open questions, and a python code block. The extractor returned exactly those items in the right fields (4/3/3/2/1) and produced a valid checkpoint with all fields populated. Round 4's load-bearing claim — zero hand-written JSON per checkpoint — is now achievable. 153/153 backend tests pass (149 pre-existing + 4 new extract tests). --- backend/app/api/routes/checkpoint.py | 122 +++++++++++++++++- backend/app/providers/registry.py | 38 ++++++ backend/app/schemas/__init__.py | 35 ++++- .../integration/test_checkpoint_extract.py | 96 ++++++++++++++ cli/README.md | 16 ++- cli/smriti_cli/client.py | 15 +++ cli/smriti_cli/main.py | 80 ++++++++++-- 7 files changed, 390 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) create mode 100644 backend/tests/integration/test_checkpoint_extract.py diff --git a/backend/app/api/routes/checkpoint.py b/backend/app/api/routes/checkpoint.py index f928d68..826593e 100644 --- a/backend/app/api/routes/checkpoint.py +++ b/backend/app/api/routes/checkpoint.py @@ -11,8 +11,15 @@ from sqlalchemy.orm import Session from app.db.database import get_db from app.db.models import ChatSession, CommitModel, TurnEvent -from app.schemas import CheckpointDraftRequest, CheckpointDraftResponse, CheckpointReviewResponse, ReviewIssue -from app.providers.registry import get_adapter +from app.schemas import ( + CheckpointDraftRequest, + CheckpointDraftResponse, + CheckpointExtractRequest, + CheckpointExtractResponse, + CheckpointReviewResponse, + ReviewIssue, +) +from app.providers.registry import get_adapter, get_mock_adapter from app.config_loader import get_config router = APIRouter() @@ -270,3 +277,114 @@ Return STRICT JSON — no markdown, no explanation: except Exception as e: logger.error(f"Review error: {e}") raise HTTPException(status_code=502, detail=f"Review failed: {e}") + + +# ── Extract endpoint ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────── + + +@router.post("/extract", response_model=CheckpointExtractResponse) +def extract_checkpoint_content(request: CheckpointExtractRequest): + """ + Extract Smriti checkpoint schema fields from a freeform markdown document. + + Stateless LLM call that maps the content into title, objective, summary, + decisions, assumptions, tasks, open_questions, entities, and artifacts. + Intended to be called from `smriti checkpoint create --extract`, where + the caller pipes an agent's output document and gets back a ready-to- + commit payload without hand-writing JSON. + """ + prompt = f"""You are a precise metadata extraction assistant. +Your task: extract structured checkpoint fields from the freeform markdown document below. +Extract ONLY what is explicitly stated in the document. +Do NOT infer, hallucinate, or add content beyond what the document says. +If a field has nothing relevant, return an empty string or empty array. + +If the document already has headed sections matching these field names +("Decisions", "Assumptions", "Tasks", "Open Questions", etc.), preserve +the items in those sections verbatim.
