- Add rate_limit error type to ErrorInfo classification
- Implement isRateLimitError() and extractRetryAfter() utilities
- Enhance ClaudeProvider error handling with actionable messages
- Add comprehensive test coverage (8 new tests, 162 total passing)
**Problem:**
When hitting API rate limits, users saw cryptic 'exit code 1' errors
with no explanation or guidance on how to resolve the issue.
**Solution:**
- Detect rate limit errors (429) and extract retry-after duration
- Provide clear, user-friendly error messages with:
* Explanation of what went wrong
* How long to wait before retrying
* Actionable tip to reduce concurrency in auto-mode
- Preserve original error details for debugging
**Changes:**
- libs/types: Add 'rate_limit' type and retryAfter field to ErrorInfo
- libs/utils: Add rate limit detection and extraction logic
- apps/server: Enhance ClaudeProvider with better error messages
- tests: Add 8 new test cases covering rate limit scenarios
**Benefits:**
✅ Clear communication - users understand the problem
✅ Actionable guidance - users know how to fix it
✅ Better debugging - original errors preserved
✅ Type safety - proper TypeScript typing
✅ Comprehensive testing - all edge cases covered
See CHANGELOG_RATE_LIMIT_HANDLING.md for detailed documentation.
- Introduced a new utility function `loadContextFiles` to load project-specific context files from the `.automaker/context/` directory, enhancing agent prompts with project rules and guidelines.
- Updated `AgentService` and `AutoModeService` to utilize the new context loading functionality, combining context prompts with existing system prompts for improved agent performance.
- Added comprehensive documentation on the context files system, including usage examples and metadata structure, to facilitate better understanding and implementation.
- Removed redundant context loading logic from `AutoModeService`, streamlining the codebase.
These changes aim to improve the agent's contextual awareness and adherence to project-specific conventions.
Changes:
- Added a new package, @automaker/prompts, containing AI prompt templates for enhancing user-written task descriptions.
- Implemented four enhancement modes: improve, technical, simplify, and acceptance, each with corresponding system prompts and examples.
- Updated relevant packages to utilize the new prompts package, ensuring backward compatibility with existing imports.
- Enhanced documentation to include usage examples and integration details for the new prompts.
Benefits:
✅ Streamlined AI prompt management across the codebase
✅ Improved clarity and usability for AI-powered features
✅ Comprehensive documentation for developers
All tests passing.
Convert all shared library packages from CommonJS to ESM for consistency
with apps/server and modern JavaScript standards.
Changes:
- Add "type": "module" to package.json for all libs
- Update tsconfig.json to use "NodeNext" module/moduleResolution
- Add .js extensions to all relative imports
Packages migrated:
- @automaker/dependency-resolver (already ESM, added .js extension)
- @automaker/git-utils (CommonJS → ESM)
- @automaker/model-resolver (CommonJS → ESM)
- @automaker/platform (CommonJS → ESM)
- @automaker/utils (CommonJS → ESM)
Benefits:
✅ Consistent module system across all packages
✅ Better tree-shaking and modern bundling support
✅ Native browser support (future-proof)
✅ Fixes E2E CI server startup issues
All tests passing: 632/632 server tests
