['deployment_ready', false]
]),

['tests_passing', true],
['documentation_complete', true],
['deployment_ready', true]
])
};
// Action definitions with preconditions and effects
const Actions = [
{

},
{
name: 'write_tests',

const adjacencyMatrix = Array(n).fill().map(() => Array(n).fill(0));
// Calculate action dependencies and transitions
for (let i = 0; i < n; i++) {
for (let j = 0; j < n; j++) {
if (canTransition(actions[i], actions[j], worldState)) {
adjacencyMatrix[i][j] = 1 / actions[j].cost; // Weight by inverse cost
}
}
}

const neighborKey = stateKey(neighbor);
if (closedSet.has(neighborKey)) continue;
const tentativeGScore = gScore.get(currentKey) + action.cost;
if (!gScore.has(neighborKey) || tentativeGScore < gScore.get(neighborKey)) {
cameFrom.set(neighborKey, { state: current, action });
gScore.set(neighborKey, tentativeGScore);

};
}
}
```
## Usage Examples
### Example 1: Complex Project Planning
```javascript
// Goal: Launch a new product feature
const productLaunchGoal = {
objective: "Launch authentication system",
constraints: ["2 week deadline", "high security", "user-friendly"],
resources: ["3 developers", "1 designer", "$10k budget"]
};
// Decompose into actionable sub-goals
const subGoals = [
"Design user interface",
"Implement backend authentication",
"Create security tests",
"Deploy to production",
"Monitor system performance"
];
// Build dependency matrix
const dependencyMatrix = buildDependencyMatrix(subGoals);
// Optimize execution order
const optimizedPlan = await mcp__sublinear_time_solver__solve({
matrix: dependencyMatrix,
vector: resourceConstraints,
method: "neumann"
});
```
### Example 2: Resource Allocation Optimization
```javascript
// Multiple competing objectives
const objectives = [
{ name: "reduce_costs", weight: 0.3, urgency: 0.7 },
{ name: "improve_quality", weight: 0.4, urgency: 0.8 },
{ name: "increase_speed", weight: 0.3, urgency: 0.9 }
];
// Use PageRank for multi-objective prioritization
const objectivePriorities = await mcp__sublinear_time_solver__pageRank({
adjacency: buildObjectiveGraph(objectives),
personalized: objectives.map(o => o.urgency)
});
// Allocate resources based on priorities
const resourceAllocation = optimizeResourceAllocation(objectivePriorities);
```
### Example 3: Predictive Action Planning
```javascript
// Predict market conditions before they change
const marketPrediction = await mcp__sublinear_time_solver__predictWithTemporalAdvantage({
matrix: marketTrendMatrix,
vector: currentMarketState,
distanceKm: 20000 // Global market data propagation
});
// Plan actions based on predictions
const strategicActions = generateStrategicActions(marketPrediction);
// Execute with temporal advantage
const results = await executeWithTemporalLead(strategicActions);
```
### Example 4: Multi-Agent Goal Coordination
```javascript
// Initialize coordinated swarm
const coordinatedSwarm = await mcp__flow_nexus__swarm_init({
topology: "mesh",
maxAgents: 12,
strategy: "specialized"
});
// Spawn specialized agents for different goal aspects
const agents = await Promise.all([
mcp__flow_nexus__agent_spawn({ type: "researcher", capabilities: ["data_analysis"] }),
mcp__flow_nexus__agent_spawn({ type: "coder", capabilities: ["implementation"] }),
mcp__flow_nexus__agent_spawn({ type: "optimizer", capabilities: ["performance"] })
]);
// Coordinate goal achievement
const coordinatedExecution = await mcp__flow_nexus__task_orchestrate({
task: "Build and optimize recommendation system",
strategy: "adaptive",
maxAgents: 3
});
```
### Example 5: Adaptive Replanning
```javascript
// Monitor execution progress
const executionStatus = await mcp__flow_nexus__task_status({
taskId: currentExecutionId,
detailed: true
});
// Detect deviations from plan
if (executionStatus.deviation > threshold) {
// Analyze new constraints
const updatedMatrix = updateConstraintMatrix(executionStatus.changes);
// Generate new optimal plan
const revisedPlan = await mcp__sublinear_time_solver__solve({
matrix: updatedMatrix,
vector: updatedObjectives,
method: "adaptive"
});
// Implement revised plan
await implementRevisedPlan(revisedPlan);
}
```
## Best Practices
### When to Use GOAP
- **Complex Multi-Step Objectives**: When goals require multiple interconnected actions
- **Resource Constraints**: When optimization of time, cost, or personnel is critical
- **Dynamic Environments**: When conditions change and plans need adaptation
- **Predictive Scenarios**: When temporal advantage can provide competitive benefits
- **Multi-Agent Coordination**: When multiple agents need to work toward shared goals
### Goal Structure Optimization
```javascript
// Well-structured goal definition
const optimizedGoal = {
objective: "Clear and measurable outcome",
preconditions: ["List of required starting states"],
postconditions: ["List of desired end states"],
constraints: ["Time, resource, and quality constraints"],
metrics: ["Quantifiable success measures"],
dependencies: ["Relationships with other goals"]
};
```
### Integration with Other Agents
- **Coordinate with swarm agents** for distributed execution
- **Use neural agents** for learning from past planning success
- **Integrate with workflow agents** for repeatable patterns
- **Leverage sandbox agents** for safe plan testing
### Performance Optimization
- **Matrix Sparsity**: Use sparse representations for large goal networks
- **Incremental Updates**: Update existing plans rather than rebuilding
- **Caching**: Store successful plan patterns for similar goals
- **Parallel Processing**: Execute independent sub-goals simultaneously
### Error Handling & Resilience
```javascript
// Robust plan execution with fallbacks
try {
const result = await executePlan(optimizedPlan);
return result;
} catch (error) {
// Generate contingency plan
const contingencyPlan = await generateContingencyPlan(error, originalGoal);
return await executePlan(contingencyPlan);
}
```
### Monitoring & Adaptation
- **Real-time Progress Tracking**: Monitor action completion and resource usage
- **Deviation Detection**: Identify when actual progress differs from predictions
- **Automatic Replanning**: Trigger plan updates when thresholds are exceeded
- **Learning Integration**: Incorporate execution results into future planning
## š§ Advanced Configuration
### Customizing Planning Parameters
```javascript
const plannerConfig = {
searchAlgorithm: "a_star", // a_star, dijkstra, greedy
heuristicFunction: "manhattan", // manhattan, euclidean, custom
maxSearchDepth: 20,
planningTimeout: 30000, // 30 seconds
convergenceEpsilon: 1e-6,
temporalAdvantageThreshold: 0.8,
utilityWeights: {
time: 0.3,
cost: 0.3,
risk: 0.2,
quality: 0.2
}
};
```
### Error Handling and Recovery
```javascript
class RobustPlanner extends GOAPAgent {
async handlePlanningFailure(error, context) {
switch (error.type) {
case 'MATRIX_SINGULAR':
return await this.regularizeMatrix(context.matrix);
case 'NO_CONVERGENCE':
return await this.relaxConstraints(context.constraints);
case 'TIMEOUT':
return await this.useApproximateSolution(context);
default:
return await this.fallbackToSimplePlanning(context);
}
}
}
```
