ADR-0001	ruflo-loop-workers plugin contract — pinning, namespace coordination, 12-worker trigger contract, smoke as contract	Accepted	2026-05-04	2026-05-09	reviewer (Claude Code)	plugin loop-workers cron schedule-wakeup cache-aware namespace smoke-test

Context

ruflo-loop-workers (v0.1.0) — cache-aware /loop workers + CronCreate background automation. Wraps 5 hooks_worker-* MCP tools at v3/@claude-flow/cli/src/mcp-tools/hooks-tools.ts:3489, 3538, 3656, 3714, 3923 (worker-list, worker-dispatch, worker-status, worker-detect, worker-cancel) and exposes 12 background worker triggers per CLAUDE.md.

Surface: 1 agent (loop-worker-coordinator), 2 skills (loop-worker, cron-schedule), 2 commands (/ruflo-loop, /ruflo-schedule).

The 12 worker triggers (named in README): ultralearn, optimize, consolidate, predict, audit, map, preload, deepdive, document, refactor, benchmark, testgaps.

Standard contract gaps + a notable cross-link missing:

1. No plugin-level ADR.
2. No smoke test.
3. No Compatibility section.
4. No cross-reference to ruflo-autopilot's 270s cache-aware /loop heartbeat — ruflo-autopilot ADR-0001 owns that contract and this plugin is the substrate that runs it.
5. No worker-trigger → consumer-plugin map — e.g., document trigger is consumed by ruflo-docs, audit by ruflo-security-audit, testgaps by ruflo-testgen. Documenting the map closes the discovery loop.

Decision

1. Add this ADR (Proposed).
2. README augment: Compatibility (pin v3.6); Cache-aware /loop integration block (cross-references ruflo-autopilot ADR-0001's 270s heartbeat); 5-tool MCP surface table (worker-list, worker-dispatch, worker-status, worker-detect, worker-cancel); 12-worker trigger map with consumer-plugin attribution; Namespace coordination (claims worker-history); Verification + Architecture Decisions sections.
3. Bump 0.1.0 → 0.2.0. Keywords add mcp, background-workers, cache-aware, schedule-wakeup.
4. scripts/smoke.sh — 12 structural checks: version + keywords; both skills + agent + 2 commands present with valid frontmatter; all 5 hooks_worker-* tools referenced; all 12 worker triggers documented; v3.6 pin; namespace coordination; 270s cache-aware note + ruflo-autopilot cross-reference; worker-trigger → consumer-plugin attribution table; ADR Proposed; no wildcard tools.

Consequences

Positive:

• 12-worker trigger map becomes contractually documented. Consumer plugins (ruflo-docs, ruflo-security-audit, ruflo-testgen, etc.) can verify their trigger names against a single canonical source.
• 270s cache-aware /loop heartbeat is now anchored to ruflo-autopilot's contract.

Negative: none material.

Verification

bash plugins/ruflo-loop-workers/scripts/smoke.sh
# Expected: "12 passed, 0 failed"

Implementation status

Plugin version v0.2.0 shipped and listed in marketplace.json. Source exists at plugins/ruflo-loop-workers/. Contract elements implemented: all 12 worker triggers (ultralearn, optimize, consolidate, predict, audit, map, preload, deepdive, document, refactor, benchmark, testgaps) documented; 5 hooks_worker-* MCP tools covered; namespace loop-workers-state claimed; smoke-as-contract gate defined in scripts/smoke.sh (12 checks).
