Compliance Generator Migration (v1.9.0 → v2.0.0)

What Changed

Before (v1.9.0)

• 1 generic agent: compliance-generator
• Parameter-based: Required contract_type parameter
• Runtime lookup: Section mapping looked up at execution time
• Sequential execution: One contract at a time

After (v2.0.0)

• 10 specialized agents: One agent per contract type
• Pre-configured: No parameters needed (contract type built-in)
• Optimized mapping: Section mapping pre-configured for performance
• Parallel execution: All 10 agents can run simultaneously

Key Differences

Aspect	v1.9.0	v2.0.0
Agents	1 generic agent	10 specialized agents
Configuration	Runtime parameter	Pre-configured (compile-time)
Section Mapping	Runtime lookup	Pre-configured (embedded)
Data Extraction	Generic patterns	Domain-specific patterns
Parallelization	Manual (10x same agent)	Native (10 different agents)
Manifest Generation	Agent responsibility	Skill orchestrator responsibility
Performance (10 contracts)	Sequential or manual parallel	Automatic parallel (10x faster)

Migration Guide

1. Direct Agent Invocation

If you were invoking the agent directly (not common):

v1.9.0 (Old):

Task(
    subagent_type="solutions-architect-skills:compliance-generator",
    prompt="Generate SRE Architecture contract from ./ARCHITECTURE.md",
    contract_type="sre_architecture"  # Required parameter
)

v2.0.0 (New):

Task(
    subagent_type="solutions-architect-skills:sre-compliance-generator",
    prompt="Generate SRE Architecture compliance contract from ./ARCHITECTURE.md"
    # No contract_type parameter needed - pre-configured in agent
)

Changes:

• Agent name changed: compliance-generator → sre-compliance-generator
• No contract_type parameter required
• More descriptive subagent_type names

2. Skill Invocation (Recommended)

v1.9.0 and v2.0.0 (No Change):

/skill architecture-compliance
/skill architecture-compliance SRE
/skill architecture-compliance all
/skill architecture-compliance SRE,Cloud,Security

Backward Compatible: All skill invocations work identically in v2.0.0. The skill handles agent routing internally.

3. Bulk Generation

v1.9.0 (Manual Parallel):

# Launch 10 instances of generic agent with different contract_type
Task(subagent_type="...:compliance-generator", contract_type="business_continuity", ...),
Task(subagent_type="...:compliance-generator", contract_type="sre_architecture", ...),
Task(subagent_type="...:compliance-generator", contract_type="cloud_architecture", ...),
# ... (repeat 10 times)

v2.0.0 (Native Parallel):

# Launch 10 specialized agents in parallel
Task(subagent_type="...:business-continuity-compliance-generator", ...),
Task(subagent_type="...:sre-compliance-generator", ...),
Task(subagent_type="...:cloud-compliance-generator", ...),
# ... (10 different agents)

Benefits:

• Clearer intent (agent names are self-documenting)
• No contract_type parameter to manage
• Easier to selectively launch subset of agents

---

Benefits of v2.0.0

1. Performance

• Pre-configured section mappings: No runtime lookup overhead
• Domain-specific extraction: Optimized patterns per contract type
• Parallel execution: 10 agents in parallel ~10x faster than sequential

2. Clarity

• Single responsibility: Each agent has one clear purpose
• Self-documenting: Agent name = contract type
• Easier debugging: Issues isolated to specific agent

3. Optimization

• Domain expertise: Each agent specialized for its compliance domain
• Targeted patterns: Grep patterns optimized per contract type
• Minimal context: Load only required sections per agent

4. Maintainability

• Independent updates: Update one agent without affecting others
• Clear ownership: Each contract type has dedicated agent
• Easier testing: Test individual agents in isolation

5. Scalability

• Parallel-first: Designed for concurrent execution
• No shared state: Fully independent agents
• Manifest safety: Skill handles manifest to prevent conflicts

6. Output Discipline

• Single file output: Each agent creates exactly one .md contract file
• No extraneous files: Agents explicitly prohibited from creating .txt reports or additional files
• Predictable behavior: All output follows strict specification

---

Breaking Changes

⚠️ Direct Agent Invocation

If you were directly invoking the compliance-generator agent (not via skill):

Change Required:

• Update subagent_type to specific agent (e.g., sre-compliance-generator)
• Remove contract_type parameter

✅ Skill Invocation

If you were using the skill (recommended approach):

No Changes Required: The skill handles agent routing internally. All existing invocations work identically.

---

Backward Compatibility

Skill-Level: Full Compatibility

• All /skill architecture-compliance invocations work identically
• User experience unchanged
• Internal implementation upgraded transparently

Agent-Level: Breaking Change

• Generic compliance-generator agent removed
• Must use specialized agents directly
• Recommendation: Use skill invocation instead of direct agent calls

---

Testing Your Migration

Test 1: Single Contract Generation

# Via skill (recommended)
/skill architecture-compliance SRE

# Expected output:
# ✅ Generated SRE Architecture compliance contract successfully
# File: /compliance-docs/SRE_ARCHITECTURE_[PROJECT]_[DATE].md

Test 2: Bulk Contract Generation

# Via skill
/skill architecture-compliance all

# Expected output:
# ✅ Generated 10 compliance contracts successfully
# ✅ Generated COMPLIANCE_MANIFEST.md
# Files: /compliance-docs/

Test 3: Selective Contracts

# Via skill
/skill architecture-compliance Cloud,Security,Development

# Expected output:
# ✅ Generated 3 compliance contracts successfully
# Files:
#   - CLOUD_ARCHITECTURE_[PROJECT]_[DATE].md
#   - SECURITY_ARCHITECTURE_[PROJECT]_[DATE].md
#   - DEVELOPMENT_ARCHITECTURE_[PROJECT]_[DATE].md

Test 4: Direct Agent Invocation (Advanced)

# Direct invocation of specialized agent
Task(
    subagent_type="solutions-architect-skills:cloud-compliance-generator",
    prompt="Generate Cloud Architecture compliance contract from ./ARCHITECTURE.md",
    description="Generate Cloud compliance"
)

# Expected output:
# ✅ Generated Cloud Architecture compliance contract successfully
# (Agent returns metadata to caller)

Troubleshooting

Issue: "Agent not found: compliance-generator"

Cause: Using old generic agent name

Solution:

- subagent_type="solutions-architect-skills:compliance-generator"
+ subagent_type="solutions-architect-skills:cloud-compliance-generator"

Or use skill invocation instead: /skill architecture-compliance Cloud

Issue: "Unknown parameter: contract_type"

Cause: Passing contract_type parameter to specialized agent

Solution:

Task(
    subagent_type="solutions-architect-skills:sre-compliance-generator",
    prompt="Generate SRE Architecture contract",
-   contract_type="sre_architecture"  # Remove this
)

Issue: Manifest not generated when using direct agent invocation

Cause: Individual agents don't generate manifests (by design)

Solution: Use skill invocation (/skill architecture-compliance), which handles manifest generation after agents complete.

---

Rollback Instructions

If you need to rollback to v1.9.0:

# Checkout previous version
git checkout v1.9.0

# Or restore generic agent file
git checkout v1.9.0 -- agents/compliance-generator.md

Note: v2.0.0 is recommended for performance and maintainability. Rollback only if critical issues occur.
