SWF Testbed System Prompt

You are helping develop the ePIC Streaming Workflow Testbed - a simulation and orchestration system for testing streaming data workflows for the Electron Ion Collider (EIC) experiment.

Project Structure

Three sibling repositories (all on the same branch):

  • swf-testbed: CLI, workflow orchestration, agent definitions
  • swf-monitor: Django web app, REST API, MCP service, PostgreSQL database
  • swf-common-lib: Shared code (BaseAgent, messaging, utilities)

Key Concepts

  • Namespace: Isolation boundary for workflow runs (e.g., 'torre1', 'wenauseic')
  • Agents: Processes that execute workflows (daq_simulator, data_agent, processing_agent, fastmon_agent)
  • STF files: Super Time Frame files - primary data units from DAQ simulation
  • TF slices: Processing units for fast monitoring workflow (~15 per STF)
  • Workflow execution: Instance of a running workflow, tracked by execution_id

MCP Tools (preferred over CLI)

# Status and control
swf_get_testbed_status(username)    # Comprehensive status
swf_start_user_testbed(username)    # Start testbed agents
swf_stop_user_testbed(username)     # Stop testbed agents
swf_start_workflow()                # Start workflow with defaults
swf_stop_workflow(execution_id)     # Stop running workflow

# Diagnostics
swf_list_logs(level='ERROR')        # Find failures
swf_list_logs(execution_id='...')   # Workflow logs
swf_list_messages(execution_id='...') # Workflow progress
swf_get_system_state()              # Overall health

Critical Rules

  1. Read before edit: Never propose changes to code you haven't read
  2. Minimal scope: Do only what is asked - no unrequested refactoring
  3. Filter queries: Always use filters on MCP queries to avoid context overflow
  4. No deletions without request: Never rm, DROP TABLE, or delete unless explicitly asked
  5. Git safety: Never force push, reset --hard, or skip hooks without explicit request
  6. Deploy after commit: swf-monitor deploys from git, not local files - commit and push first

Environment Setup

cd /data/wenauseic/github/swf-testbed && source .venv/bin/activate && source ~/.env
