GitHub Update Go Agent

Pattern B agent that consumes github-update-go tasks and lands a draft PR bringing a Go repo to current toolchain + dependencies with zero open fixable vulnerabilities and a green repo gate (make precommit / make check). Claude-driven planning + execution (update sequence + repair-to-green), pure-Go ai_review verifier. Unfixable findings park the task for the operator — the agent never auto-suppresses, never tags, never readies or merges the PR.

Full design: docs/design.md. Built from the bborbe/agent-claude template.

How It Works

  1. Agent pipeline ([[task/controller]] → Kafka → [[task/executor]]) spawns a K8s Job with the github-update-go-agent image.
  2. The Job receives TASK_CONTENT, TASK_ID, BRANCH, ALLOWED_TOOLS, MODEL, etc. via env vars.
  3. main.go assembles the prompt via lib/claude (embedded workflow.md + output-format.md + task content).
  4. Runs claude --print --output-format stream-json with the allowed tools.
  5. Parses the JSON result and publishes to Kafka via lib/delivery.KafkaResultDeliverer (when TASK_ID set), or falls back to NoopResultDeliverer for local runs.

Env Vars

Var Required Default Purpose
TASK_CONTENT yes — Raw task markdown
BRANCH yes — dev/prod — used as Kafka topic prefix
TASK_ID no — Required when publishing results via Kafka
MODEL no sonnet sonnet or opus
ALLOWED_TOOLS no — Comma-separated Claude tool allowlist (e.g. Read,Grep,Bash)
AGENT_DIR no agent Directory containing .claude/CLAUDE.md guardrails
CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR no — Claude Code OAuth config directory (PVC mount)
ENV_CONTEXT no — Comma-separated KEY=VAL pairs injected into the prompt
CLAUDE_ENV no — Comma-separated KEY=VAL pairs passed to the Claude CLI subprocess
KAFKA_BROKERS no — Required when TASK_ID is set
SENTRY_DSN no — Error reporting

Creating a New Agent

To add a domain-specific agent that reuses this binary:

  1. Create a task file in OpenClaw vault with assignee: claude-agent (or a new assignee routed to this image via a Config CRD).
  2. Mount a PVC or Secret containing the domain-specific .claude/CLAUDE.md and any API credentials.
  3. Set ALLOWED_TOOLS on the Config CRD to the minimum tools the agent needs.
  4. Set ENV_CONTEXT to inject domain context (e.g. API URLs) into the prompt without modifying the binary.
Config CRD env pattern

The Config CRD's spec.env map becomes pod env vars, which main.go consumes via struct tags. Example from k8s/github-update-go-agent.yaml:

spec:
  env:
    ALLOWED_TOOLS: WebSearch,WebFetch,Read,Grep

Tune ALLOWED_TOOLS per task shape (minimum viable set):

Task shape Minimum tools
Web research WebSearch,WebFetch,Read,Grep
Vault I/O via scripts Bash(scripts/vault-read.sh:*),Bash(scripts/vault-write.sh:*),Bash(scripts/vault-list.sh:*),Grep
API query via script Bash(scripts/trading-api-read.sh:*),Grep
Code edit Read,Write,Edit,Grep,Glob,Bash(go:*),Bash(make:*)

Prefer constrained Bash(path:*) forms over bare Bash to minimize shell attack surface.

Claude subprocess env allowlist

lib/claude/claude-runner.go strips pod env down to a safe allowlist (HOME,PATH,USER,TZ,...) before spawning claude. Custom env vars (API URLs, credentials) must be threaded explicitly via ClaudeRunnerConfig.Env map[string]string in main.go. Don't expect pod env to reach Claude by default. See docs/ for precedent (trade-analysis commit 1ccfa674cf).

Local Quick Test

cd ~/Documents/workspaces/agent/agent/claude
go run . \
  --task-content "$(cat /path/to/task.md)" \
  --model sonnet \
  --allowed-tools "Read,Write,Edit,Bash,Grep,Glob" \
  --agent-dir agent \
  --branch dev

Skips K8s, task controller, task executor, git writeback. Useful for iterating on prompts.

Admin endpoints:

  • pkg/prompts/ — embedded prompts (workflow.md, output-format.md)
  • agent/.claude/CLAUDE.md — default agent guardrails
  • docs/claude-oauth-setup.md — seed PVC with Claude Code OAuth credentials
  • lib/claude/ — shared prompt assembly + Claude CLI invocation
  • lib/delivery/ — shared Kafka result publishing
  • task/controller/ — Obsidian→Kafka event source
  • task/executor/ — Kafka→K8s Job spawner

Documentation

Overview

Command github-update-go-agent is the canonical AI-heavy agent: one Claude invocation per phase, all logic in the prompt + allowed tools.

This binary is the Kafka entry point — spawned as a K8s Job by task/executor with TASK_CONTENT + TASK_ID + PHASE + KAFKA_BROKERS env. For local CLI mode (file-based), see cmd/run-task/main.go.

Reference implementation for AI-heavy agents using the agent framework (lib.NewAgent + claude.NewAgentStep). Other agents (trade-analysis, pr-reviewer) follow the same shape — copy this main.go and swap prompts/tools.
