Phase 3 Progress Summary

Last Updated: 2025-12-03 Current Step: Step 4 of 8 (Todo Creation Logic) Workflow ID: L0VYVJyEwGsA1bqe

---

✅ What Has Been Completed

Step 1: Updated CLAUDE.md

• ✅ Updated with new simplified approach
• ✅ Changed from SSH wrapper to Direct SDK
• ✅ Changed from 11-node complex to 6-node simple workflow
• ✅ Pointed to SIMPLIFIED_PHASE3_PLAN.md

Step 2: Created n8n Workflow Skeleton

• ✅ Created workflow: "Todo-Based MVP Builder"
• ✅ Workflow ID: L0VYVJyEwGsA1bqe
• ✅ Webhook URL: https://n8n.oky.sh/webhook/todo-mvp-builder
• ✅ 6-node structure created:
  1. Webhook
  2. Extract Repo Info
  3. Get Next Todo
  4. Execute Todo
  5. Format Response
  6. HTTP Response
• ✅ Connected loop back from Node 6 to Node 3

Step 3: SDK Integration

• ✅ Built OpenHands SDK in /tmp/software-agent-sdk/
• ✅ Created SDK wrapper: /home/bam/openhands-sdk-wrapper.py
• ✅ Tested SDK wrapper (works, returns JSON)
• ✅ Updated Node 4 with SDK integration code

Step 4: Todo Creation Logic (IN PROGRESS)

• ✅ Wrote code for Node 3 to detect "MVP Prompt:"
• ✅ Wrote code for Node 4 to call SDK for TODO.md creation
• ✅ Created summary file: STEP4_SUMMARY.md
• ❌ BLOCKED: Cannot save workflow to n8n due to API format error
• ❌ Not tested yet

🔄 Current Status

Workflow Details

• Name: Todo-Based MVP Builder
• ID: L0VYVJyEwGsA1bqe
• Status: Active in n8n
• Nodes: 6 nodes
• Webhook: https://n8n.oky.sh/webhook/todo-mvp-builder

Current Issue

Problem: n8n API rejects saving workflow

• Error: "request/body must NOT have additional properties"
• Issue: Metadata fields in workflow JSON (shared, tags, versionId, etc.)
• Need to: Clean JSON before saving

What Code Was Written

Node 3 (Get Next Todo):

const isInitialPush = $json.head_commit?.message?.includes('MVP Prompt:');
const prompt = $json.head_commit?.message || '';

if (isInitialPush) {
  return { action: 'create_todos', prompt: prompt };
}

return { action: 'read_todo' };

Node 4 (Execute Todo):

const action = $json.action;
const repoInfo = $node['Extract Repo Info'].json;

if (action === 'create_todos') {
  return {
    action: 'sdk_call',
    task: `Create TODO.md from prompt: ${$json.prompt}`,
    prompt: $json.prompt,
    repoInfo: repoInfo
  };
}

return { action: 'executed' };

📋 What Happened

What I Did

1. Created workflow skeleton
2. Integrated SDK
3. Wrote todo creation logic code
4. Attempted to save to n8n
5. Failed due to API format issue

Files Created

• todo-workflow-info.json
• todo-mvp-builder-workflow.json
• WORKFLOW_SUMMARY.md
• STEP4_SUMMARY.md
• /tmp/updated_workflow.json

Why It's Blocked

n8n API requires clean workflow data, but our workflow has extra metadata fields that need to be removed before saving.

📊 Progress Overview

Step	Task	Status	Time
1	Update CLAUDE.md	✅ Complete	5 min
2	Create workflow skeleton	✅ Complete	45 min
3	SDK integration	✅ Complete	45 min
4	Todo creation logic	🔄 In Progress	30 min (blocked)
5	Todo execution loop	⏳ Pending	-
6	Test & validation	⏳ Pending	-
7	Commit/push to Gitea	⏳ Pending	-
8	Full E2E test	⏳ Pending	-

Total Time: ~2 hours Remaining Time: ~2-3 hours

🎯 Next Steps (What Needs To Be Done)

Immediate (Step 4 completion)

1. Clean workflow JSON (remove metadata)
2. Save workflow to n8n
3. Test webhook
4. Verify Node 3 detects "MVP Prompt:"
5. Verify Node 4 returns sdk_call action

After Step 4

6. Step 5: Implement todo execution loop
7. Step 6: Add test & validation
8. Step 7: Implement commit/push to Gitea
9. Step 8: Full end-to-end test

🤔 Why We Have Workflows

Workflow L0VYVJyEwGsA1bqe (Current):

• Purpose: Todo-Based MVP Builder (new Phase 3 approach)
• Status: Active
• This is what we're working on

Old workflows (Deleted):

• Were from previous attempts
• Deleted to keep things clean
• Only 1 active workflow exists

---

📝 Files in /home/bam/claude/mvp-factory/

Current:

• todo-workflow-info.json
• todo-mvp-builder-workflow.json
• WORKFLOW_SUMMARY.md
• STEP4_SUMMARY.md
• SIMPLIFIED_PHASE3_PLAN.md (main plan)
• CLAUDE.md (updated)

Cleanup needed:

• Delete old workflow files (PHASE3-, phase3-)
• Keep only todo-based workflow files

---

❓ What Does This System Do?

User Experience:

1. User pushes to Gitea: "MVP Prompt: Create a full-stack todo app"
2. Workflow detects this is initial prompt
3. OpenHands creates TODO.md with tasks
4. Loop executes each task:
   • Create files
   • Run tests
   • Commit changes
   • Move to next task
5. Result: Complete app built step-by-step

Example Flow:

Push: "MVP Prompt: Create a todo app"
  ↓
OpenHands creates TODO.md with 6 tasks
  ↓
Loop 1: Create backend API (package.json, server.js)
  ↓
Loop 2: Create React frontend
  ↓
Loop 3: Connect frontend to backend
  ↓
... continues for all tasks
  ↓
Final: Complete full-stack app

---

✅ What Works

• ✅ n8n instance running
• ✅ Gitea instance running
• ✅ OpenHands SDK built
• ✅ SDK wrapper created
• ✅ Workflow skeleton created
• ✅ Node logic written

❌ What Doesn't Work

• ❌ Cannot save workflow (API format issue)
• ❌ Cannot test yet (blocked by save issue)
• ❌ Steps 5-8 not done yet

---

🎯 Goal

To prove: OpenHands can build a complete full-stack application autonomously through structured todos.

Expected Outcome: Working system that turns "MVP Prompt: [app]" into a complete application.
