# Issue #1501 분석 보고서: ULW Mode PLAN AGENT 무한루프
## 📋 이슈 요약
**증상:**
- ULW (ultrawork) mode에서 PLAN AGENT가 무한루프에 빠짐
- 분석/탐색 완료 후 plan만 계속 생성
- 1분마다 매우 작은 토큰으로 요청 발생
**예상 동작:**
- 탐색 완료 후 solution document 생성
---
## 🔍 근본 원인 분석
### 파일: `src/tools/delegate-task/constants.ts`
#### 문제의 핵심
`PLAN_AGENT_SYSTEM_PREPEND` (constants.ts 234-269행)에 구조적 결함이 있었습니다:
1. **Interactive Mode 가정**
```
2. After gathering context, ALWAYS present:
- Uncertainties: List of unclear points
- Clarifying Questions: Specific questions to resolve uncertainties
3. ITERATE until ALL requirements are crystal clear:
- Do NOT proceed to planning until you have 100% clarity
- Ask the user to confirm your understanding
```
2. **종료 조건 없음**
- "100% clarity" 요구는 객관적 측정 불가능
- 사용자 확인 요청은 ULW mode에서 불가능
- 무한루프로 이어짐
3. **ULW Mode 미감지**
- Subagent로 실행되는 경우를 구분하지 않음
- 항상 interactive mode로 동작 시도
### 왜 무한루프가 발생했는가?
```
ULW Mode 시작
→ Sisyphus가 Plan Agent 호출 (subagent)
→ Plan Agent: "100% clarity 필요"
→ Clarifying questions 생성
→ 사용자 없음 (subagent)
→ 다시 plan 생성 시도
→ "여전히 unclear"
→ 무한루프 반복
```
**핵심:** Plan Agent는 사용자와 대화하도록 설계되었지만, ULW mode에서는 사용자가 없는 subagent로 실행됨.
---
## ✅ 적용된 수정 방안
### 수정 내용 (constants.ts)
#### 1. SUBAGENT MODE DETECTION 섹션 추가
```typescript
SUBAGENT MODE DETECTION (CRITICAL):
If you received a detailed prompt with gathered context from a parent orchestrator (e.g., Sisyphus):
- You are running as a SUBAGENT
- You CANNOT directly interact with the user
- DO NOT ask clarifying questions - proceed with available information
- Make reasonable assumptions for minor ambiguities
- Generate the plan based on the provided context
```
#### 2. Context Gathering Protocol 수정
```diff
- 1. Launch background agents to gather context:
+ 1. Launch background agents to gather context (ONLY if not already provided):
```
**효과:** 이미 Sisyphus가 context를 수집한 경우 중복 방지
#### 3. Clarifying Questions → Assumptions
```diff
- 2. After gathering context, ALWAYS present:
- - Uncertainties: List of unclear points
- - Clarifying Questions: Specific questions
+ 2. After gathering context, assess clarity:
+ - User Request Summary: Concise restatement
+ - Assumptions Made: List any assumptions for unclear points
```
**효과:** 질문 대신 가정 사항 문서화
#### 4. 무한루프 방지 - 명확한 종료 조건
```diff
- 3. ITERATE until ALL requirements are crystal clear:
- - Do NOT proceed to planning until you have 100% clarity
- - Ask the user to confirm your understanding
- - Resolve every ambiguity before generating the work plan
+ 3. PROCEED TO PLAN GENERATION when:
+ - Core objective is understood (even if some details are ambiguous)
+ - You have gathered context via explore/librarian (or context was provided)
+ - You can make reasonable assumptions for remaining ambiguities
+
+ DO NOT loop indefinitely waiting for perfect clarity.
+ DOCUMENT assumptions in the plan so they can be validated during execution.
```
**효과:**
- "100% clarity" 요구 제거
- 객관적인 진입 조건 제공
- 무한루프 명시적 금지
- Assumptions를 plan에 문서화하여 실행 중 검증 가능
#### 5. 철학 변경
```diff
- REMEMBER: Vague requirements lead to failed implementations.
+ REMEMBER: A plan with documented assumptions is better than no plan.
```
**효과:** Perfectionism → Pragmatism

## 🎯 해결 메커니즘
### Before (무한루프)
```
Plan Agent 시작
Context gathering
Requirements 명확한가?
↓ NO
Clarifying questions 생성
사용자 응답 대기 (없음)
다시 plan 시도
(무한 반복)
```
### After (정상 종료)
```
Plan Agent 시작
Subagent mode 감지?
↓ YES
Context 이미 있음? → YES
Core objective 이해? → YES
Reasonable assumptions 가능? → YES
Plan 생성 (assumptions 문서화)
완료 ✓
```
---
## 📊 영향 분석
### 해결되는 문제
1. **ULW mode 무한루프** ✓
2. **Sisyphus에서 Plan Agent 호출 시 블로킹** ✓
3. **작은 토큰 반복 요청** ✓
4. **1분마다 재시도** ✓
### 부작용 없음
- Interactive mode (사용자와 직접 대화)는 여전히 작동
- Subagent mode일 때만 다르게 동작
- Backward compatibility 유지
### 추가 개선사항
- Assumptions를 plan에 명시적으로 문서화
- Execution 중 validation 가능
- 더 pragmatic한 workflow
---
## 🧪 검증 방법
### 테스트 시나리오
1. **ULW mode에서 Plan Agent 호출**
```bash
oh-my-opencode run "Complex task requiring planning. ulw"
```
- 예상: Plan 생성 후 정상 종료
- 확인: 무한루프 없음
2. **Interactive mode (변경 없어야 함)**
```bash
oh-my-opencode run --agent prometheus "Design X"
```
- 예상: Clarifying questions 여전히 가능
- 확인: 사용자와 대화 가능
3. **Subagent context 제공 케이스**
- 예상: Context gathering skip
- 확인: 중복 탐색 없음

- Context 전달 방식 명확히
2. **Avoid Perfectionism in Agents**
- "100% clarity" 같은 주관적 조건 지양
- 명확한 객관적 종료 조건 필요
3. **Document Uncertainties**
- 불확실성을 숨기지 말고 문서화
- 실행 중 validation 가능하게
4. **Infinite Loop Prevention**
- 모든 반복문에 명시적 종료 조건
- Timeout 또는 max iteration 설정

## 🔗 참고 자료
- **Issue:** #1501 - [Bug]: ULW mode will 100% cause PLAN AGENT to get stuck
- **Files Modified:** `src/tools/delegate-task/constants.ts`
- **Related Concepts:** Ultrawork mode, Plan Agent, Subagent delegation
- **Agent Architecture:** Sisyphus → Prometheus → Atlas workflow
---
## ✅ Conclusion
**Root Cause:** Plan Agent가 interactive mode를 가정했으나 ULW mode에서는 subagent로 실행되어 사용자 상호작용 불가능. "100% clarity" 요구로 무한루프 발생.
**Solution:** Subagent mode 감지 로직 추가, clarifying questions 제거, 명확한 종료 조건 제공, assumptions 문서화 방식 도입.
**Result:** ULW mode에서 Plan Agent가 정상적으로 plan 생성 후 종료. 무한루프 해결.
