362  'Plain, concrete words; keep the numbers, file names, branches, job ids; no markdown. Reply with one JSON object and nothing else.'
363
364const BRIEF_SHAPE = `Output {"state": "waiting" | "working" | "stuck" | "done", "opened": [{"text": "...", "quote": "...", "label": "..." | null}], "closed": [{"id": "...", "why": "answered" | "settled", "quote": "..."}], "found": ["..."], "spend": "..." | null, "next": ["..."], "agents": {"<agent id>": "..."}}.
365The input runs oldest to newest; RECENT CONVERSATION is last and holds the newest words. A later message supersedes an earlier one: a failure it reports fixed, a run it reports ended, a step it reports done must not appear in found, next or spend.
366"state": if the last ASSISTANT line is an API error or says its response was cut off, "stuck". Otherwise "waiting" = the agent stopped and needs the person: a question, a decision, an approval, or something only they can supply (a login, a credential, a paid resource). Whenever an ask is open and nothing is running, "waiting". "working" = the main thread, an agent or a job is still making progress, including a main thread that waits on agents that are active. "stuck" = progress is blocked by something other than the person: a hung job, a failure repeating, or every agent the main thread waits on silent for 45+ minutes (a quieter agent whose last message says it is running is still working). "done" = the work asked for is finished and nothing is pending.
367OPEN ASKS lists what the agent asked the person and nobody has closed yet: [id] (label, age) text — "the agent's sentence". PERSON PROMPTS AFTER THE OLDEST OPEN ASK gives every prompt the person sent since, in full and in order. You keep the list by difference, never by rewriting it:
368"opened": asks that are new, not already in OPEN ASKS: only what the agent's own text explicitly asks of the person or names as theirs to decide: a question addressed to them, or wording such as "your call on X", "say go and I'll do Y", "waiting on your Z", "you decide", "approve", "let me know", or an either-or put to them ("X now, or wait for Y?"). One item per question, never merged: a list of 5 questions is 5 items. When an asking sentence points at a numbered or lettered list in the same message ("your call on the three decisions", "questions below", a "Decisions for you:" heading), open one ask per list item, each quoting that item's own line and labelled with its own label ("decision 1", "Q3", "(b)"), and do not open the pointing sentence itself. A plan put up for approval ("Plan, if you approve: …") is one ask about the plan, not one per step, and a step that will need the person later ("your explicit call, after the 4 passes") is not an ask until that point comes. "text": at most 14 words naming what is decided and its options. "quote": the asking sentence copied character for character from an ASSISTANT message (it is checked; a quote that is not there is thrown away). "label": the agent's own number or label for the question when it gave one ("Q3", "2", "(b)", "decision 2"), else null. Never open an ask from options the agent merely listed, a step it plans to take, a decision it states as made ("the flag stays off until…"), or what would be sensible next; never open one that a later message already answers or settles. "My call: X" or "I'll do X unless you object" is the agent's own decision, not an ask.
369"closed": an ask closes only when a message after it closes that specific ask. Close only ids listed in OPEN ASKS: an ask you open in this reply cannot be closed in it, and an id that is not listed is refused. "answered": a person prompt after the ask answers that ask: by its label or number ("Q2. keep it", "1. yes", "decisions 2 and 4: yes"), by quoting it ("> 3. Drop the endpoint? yes"), by responding directly to its subject, or with a bare approval ("go", "yes, do it") to the newest open ask. Map numbered answers to the asks with those labels, one close per ask. A clarifying question back ("not sure I follow 1, what does it change?") does not answer it: the ask stays open. "quote" copies the person's own words that answer, from their prompt, with the number they put before them ("Q2. keep it"): never the ask's own text, which the code refuses. "settled": a later ASSISTANT message shows the agent resolved the ask itself (it went ahead, or cancelled per a standing rule); "quote" copies that sentence, which must name the ask's subject. The code checks every close against the prompts after the ask; when unsure, leave the ask open. A status question or steering on another topic closes nothing.
370"found": results learned, at most 14 words each, numbers kept. Prefer what the ASSISTANT concluded in its text over raw tool output; tool tails only supply numbers it did not state. Lead with the headline, the result that changes a decision (often a bold sentence or the answer to the person's question), before side details. Measurements, test counts, root causes, errors, review verdicts ("step time 45 s → 18 s", "312 passed, 0 failed", "reviewer rejected the patch: 2 issues"). Keep the agent's polarity and causality: do not flip a claim; quote when unsure. A command marked (exit≠0) did not necessarily fail: read its output. Activity is not a finding: "spawned a worker", "read config.py", "confirmed the key works", "waiting on agents" never go here. [] when nothing was learned.
371"spend": what burns money or holds scarce resources now (cluster allocations, cloud VMs, paid jobs, long remote runs, idle disks billed) with ids and the time or money left, e.g. "cluster j-2AXK · 5h10m left · 3 of 8 nodes idle". Only from evidence that the resource is held now: a later "ended", "cancelled", "expired", "torn down", "released" or "budget ran out" ends it, and a plan or proposal to start one is not spend. When nothing runs but the agent states what is left of a budget or what an idle resource costs, say that: "nothing running · $41.20 of the cap left". null when nothing is held and no budget is stated.
372"next": the next 1 to 3 steps in order, terse, at most 8 words each ("merge ingest → dedupe", "rerun the backfill on 7f3e"): count them.
373"agents": one entry per AGENT listed below, at most 10 words: what it is doing now; say "silent 40m" when its transcript has not moved for 10+ minutes.

The third reviewer asked for a comparison table that needs numbers from the 2024 survey, which is paywalled.
