# PRD-48: Resource Capabilities Discovery & Integration **Status**: Complete ✅ **Created**: 2025-08-05 **Completed**: 2025-08-07 **GitHub Issue**: [#48](https://github.com/vfarcic/dot-ai/issues/48) **Dependencies**: [PRD #47 - Generic Cluster Data Management Tool](./47-generic-cluster-data-management-tool.md) **Related PRDs**: Works alongside PRD #49 (Resource Dependencies) for complete solution ## Executive Summary AI recommendation system fails to match user intents like "PostgreSQL database" to optimal resources like `sqls.devopstoolkit.live` because it cannot understand semantic relationships between generic resource names and specific capabilities. This PRD implements cluster scanning to discover and store resource capabilities in Vector DB, enabling semantic intent-to-resource matching that solves the "sqls.devopstoolkit.live not found" problem. ## Problem Statement ### Current Issues with Semantic Matching 1. **Generic Name Blindness**: AI doesn't recognize that "SQL" resource handles "PostgreSQL" intents 2. **Capability Unknown**: System doesn't know what each resource actually does 3. **Intent Mismatch**: "database in Azure" doesn't match `sqls.devopstoolkit.live` 4. **Overwhelming Information**: 415 resources without capability context confuses AI ### Real-World Impact - User requests: "PostgreSQL database on Azure" - AI sees: `sqls.devopstoolkit.live` (name means nothing to AI) - AI picks: Complex multi-resource solutions instead - User misses: Perfect one-resource solution that handles everything ## Success Criteria ### Primary Goals - **Semantic Discovery**: "PostgreSQL" intent finds `sqls.devopstoolkit.live` as top candidate - **Capability Intelligence**: System understands what each resource actually does - **Intent Matching**: Generic resource names matched to specific user needs - **Improved Recommendations**: AI gets pre-filtered, relevant resource candidates ### Success Metrics - `sqls.devopstoolkit.live` appears in PostgreSQL/database recommendations - Composite resources prioritized over complex multi-resource solutions - Recommendation accuracy improves for generic resource names - AI processing time reduces (fewer resources to analyze) ## Solution Architecture ### Capability Discovery Pipeline ``` Cluster Resources (415+) ↓ Schema Analysis + Metadata Extraction ↓ Capability Inference (AI-powered) ↓ Vector DB Storage (semantic embeddings) ↓ Fast Semantic Search for Recommendations ``` ### Integration with PRD #47 - Enhanced User Interface ```typescript // Phase 1: Resource Selection await manageClusterData({ dataType: 'capabilities', operation: 'scan' }); // → Response: "Scan all 415 resources or specify subset? (all/specific)" // Phase 2: Processing Mode Selection // → Response: "Processing mode: auto (batch process) or manual (review each)?" // Auto Mode: Batch processing // → Processes all selected resources, shows summary // Manual Mode: Individual validation (for testing/development) // → Shows complete ResourceCapability data for each resource // → "Resource 1/5: SQL.devopstoolkit.live // === Data to be stored in Vector DB === // { kind: 'SQL', capabilities: ['postgresql', 'mysql'], ... } // Continue storing this capability? (yes/no/stop)" // NEW: Interactive capability search await manageClusterData({ dataType: 'capabilities', operation: 'search', query: 'postgresql database', limit: 10, complexityFilter: 'low', providerFilter: ['azure', 'aws'] }); // → Response: Ranked list of matching capabilities with scores // Vector DB storage with simplified ID format const capabilityId = CapabilityInferenceEngine.generateCapabilityId(resourceName); await this.vectorDB.store({ id: capabilityId, type: 'capability', embedding, metadata: capability }); // Examples: capability-sqls-devopstoolkit-live, capability-resourcegroups-azure-upbound-io // Later, during recommendations (uses same search method): const capabilityService = new CapabilityVectorService(); const capabilities = await capabilityService.searchCapabilities(userIntent, 10); // Returns: High-quality capability matches for AI pre-filtering ``` ## Technical Implementation ### Capability Data Structure ```typescript interface ResourceCapability { // Resource identification (simplified) resourceName: string; // "sqls.devopstoolkit.live" // Capability information capabilities: string[]; // ["postgresql", "mysql", "database", "multi cloud"] providers: string[]; // ["azure", "gcp", "aws"] abstractions: string[]; // ["high availability", "persistent storage", "backup"] complexity: 'low' | 'medium' | 'high'; // User experience complexity // Metadata for AI understanding description: string; // "Managed database solution supporting multiple engines" useCase: string; // "Simple database deployment without infrastructure complexity" confidence: number; // AI confidence score (0-100) // Analysis metadata analyzedAt: string; // ISO timestamp } ``` ### Capability Inference Engine ```typescript class CapabilityInferenceEngine { /** * Analyze resource to infer capabilities using AI-first approach * @param resourceName Simple string resource name (e.g., "resourcegroups.azure.upbound.io") * @throws Error if capability inference fails for any reason */ async inferCapabilities(resourceName: string, schema?: string, metadata?: any): Promise<ResourceCapability> { // AI-powered inference from all available context const aiResult = await this.inferWithAI(resourceName, schema, metadata); // Build final capability structure return this.buildResourceCapability(resourceName, aiResult); } /** * Use AI to infer all capability data from resource context * @throws Error if AI inference fails or response is invalid */ private async inferWithAI(resourceName: string, schema?: string, metadata?: any): Promise<{ capabilities: string[]; providers: string[]; abstractions: string[]; complexity: 'low' | 'medium' | 'high'; description: string; useCase: string; confidence: number; }> { const prompt = await this.buildInferencePrompt(resourceName, schema, metadata); const response = await this.claudeIntegration.sendMessage(prompt); return this.parseCapabilitiesFromAI(response); // Throws on parse failure } /** * Build AI inference prompt using template from prompts/capability-inference.md * @throws Error if prompt template cannot be loaded */ private async buildInferencePrompt(resourceName: string, schema?: string, metadata?: any): Promise<string> { const promptPath = path.join(process.cwd(), 'prompts', 'capability-inference.md'); const template = fs.readFileSync(promptPath, 'utf8'); return template .replace('{resourceName}', resourceName) .replace('{schema}', schema || 'No schema provided') .replace('{metadata}', metadata ? JSON.stringify(metadata, null, 2) : 'No metadata provided'); } } ``` ### Vector DB Integration ```typescript class CapabilityVectorService { async storeCapability(capability: ResourceCapability): Promise<void> { // Generate embedding from capability description const embedding = await this.generateEmbedding( `${capability.resourceName} ${capability.capabilities.join(' ')} ${capability.description}` ); const capabilityId = CapabilityInferenceEngine.generateCapabilityId(capability.resourceName); await this.vectorDB.store({ id: capabilityId, type: 'capability', embedding, metadata: capability }); } async searchCapabilities(intent: string, limit: number = 10): Promise<ResourceCapability[]> { const results = await this.vectorDB.search(intent, { type: 'capability', limit }); return results.map(result => result.metadata as ResourceCapability); } } ``` ## Integration with Recommendation System ### Enhanced Two-Phase Recommendation Flow #### Current Flow (Broken) ``` User: "PostgreSQL database" ↓ AI gets 415 raw resources ↓ AI picks: StatefulSet + ConfigMap + Secret (complex) ↓ Misses: sqls.devopstoolkit.live (perfect solution) ``` #### New Flow (With Capabilities) ``` User: "PostgreSQL database" ↓ Phase 1: Semantic capability search with rich context Vector DB finds: 100 capability-matched resources including: - sqls.devopstoolkit.live (score: 0.95, capabilities: postgresql+azure+low complexity) - Server.dbforpostgresql.azure (score: 0.87, capabilities: postgresql+azure+medium complexity) - StatefulSet (score: 0.45, capabilities: persistent storage+high complexity) ↓ Phase 2: AI ranking of pre-filtered candidates with capability context AI compares: 100 relevant, well-described resources instead of 415 generic names ↓ Result: sqls.devopstoolkit.live ranked #1 (optimal solution with clear reasoning) ``` ### Modified AI Ranking Integration ```typescript // Enhanced findBestSolutions in schema.ts async findBestSolutions( intent: string, explainResource: (resource: string) => Promise<any> ): Promise<ResourceSolution[]> { // NEW: Replace mass resource discovery with capability-based pre-filtering const capabilityService = new CapabilityVectorService(); const relevantCapabilities = await capabilityService.searchCapabilities(intent, { limit: 100 }); if (relevantCapabilities.length > 0) { console.log(`🎯 Found ${relevantCapabilities.length} relevant capabilities (vs 415+ mass discovery)`); // Get schemas only for capability-identified resources const resourceNames = relevantCapabilities.map(cap => cap.resourceName); // Fetch schemas for pre-filtered resources with rich capability context const schemas = await Promise.all( resourceNames.map(async (resourceName) => ({ resourceName, schema: await explainResource(resourceName), capabilities: relevantCapabilities.find(cap => cap.resourceName === resourceName) })) ); return await this.rankWithCapabilityContext(intent, schemas); } // Fail fast with clear user guidance if no capabilities available throw new Error( `No capabilities found for "${intent}". Please scan your cluster first:\n` + `Run: manageOrgData({ dataType: "capabilities", operation: "scan" })` ); } ``` ## Implementation Milestones ### Milestone 1: Capability Inference Engine - [x] Implement schema-based capability extraction -

**Validation Framework**: Human-reviewable capability inference with override capabilities - **Incremental Analysis**: Scan resources progressively, not all at once - **Caching Strategy**: Cache capability analysis to avoid repeated schema fetching ## Decision Log ### Design Decisions Made #### User Interface Architecture (2025-08-05) **Decision**: Implement MCP Tool Interface with two-phase interaction - **Phase 1**: Resource selection (all resources vs. specific subset) - **Phase 2**: Processing mode selection (auto vs. manual) - **Manual Mode**: Show complete ResourceCapability data structure for validation **Rationale**: Provides testing/development validation while maintaining usability for production **Impact**: Affects Milestone 3 implementation and user experience design #### Generic Capability Extraction Scope (2025-08-05) **Decision**: Build universal capability extraction for all resource types (not database-specific) **Rationale**: System should handle databases, applications, storage, networking, and any other CRD types **Impact**: Requires generic extraction rules and broader testing scenarios #### Data Structure Approach (2025-08-05) **Decision**: AI-inferred values within predefined structure constraints - Field names and types are fixed (`capabilities`, `providers`, `complexity`, etc.) - AI has flexibility in value assignment within constraints - Consider vocabulary consistency for semantic matching effectiveness **Rationale**: Balances AI flexibility with data structure consistency **Impact**: Affects capability inference implementation and Vector DB schema design #### Capability Extraction Strategy (2025-08-05) **Decision**: AI-first approach with no hardcoded domain rules - Remove all hardcoded domain-specific detection (e.g., "Database capabilities detection") - Use generic schema analysis to extract raw terms/patterns - Let AI interpret patterns and generate all capability data through prompts **Rationale**: Generic approach works for any resource type, avoids maintenance of domain-specific rules **Impact**: Simplifies implementation, increases reliance on AI prompt quality and Claude integration #### Error Handling Philosophy (2025-08-05) **Decision**: Fail fast with errors rather than storing incorrect/minimal data - Throw errors when capability inference fails (AI errors, parsing failures, etc.) - No fallback to "minimal capability" objects with placeholder data - Preserve Vector DB data quality by rejecting bad inferences **Rationale**: Incorrect capability data is worse than no data - prevents misleading recommendations **Impact**: Requires robust error handling in batch processing, may reduce successful analysis rate #### Vector DB ID Format (2025-08-05) **Decision**: Use standard Kubernetes nomenclature in capability IDs - Format: `capability-{apiVersion}-{kind}` (slashes replaced with dashes) - Examples: `capability-devopstoolkit.live-v1beta1-SQL`, `capability-apps-v1-Deployment` - Include apiVersion to track schema evolution across resource versions **Rationale**: Follows K8s conventions, enables tracking capability changes across schema versions **Impact**: Affects Vector DB storage implementation and capability retrieval logic #### Interface Simplification (2025-08-06) **Decision**: Replace ResourceReference object parsing with direct string-based resource names - Remove complex `kind`, `group`, `apiVersion` field parsing - AI works directly with full resource names (e.g., "resourcegroups.azure.upbound.io") - Eliminate unnecessary ResourceReference interface and associated parsing logic **Rationale**: AI can understand full resource names without manual parsing, reducing complexity and potential parsing errors **Impact**: Simplifies implementation, improves maintainability, reduces brittle parsing code, makes system more flexible for various resource naming conventions #### Natural Language Capability Tags (2025-08-06) **Decision**: Use natural language phrases instead of hyphenated terms in capability tags - Store "high availability" instead of "high-availability" - Store "managed service" instead of "managed-service" - Store "object storage" instead of "object-storage" **Rationale**: Matches how users naturally think and search ("I want high availability" not "I want high-availability") **Impact**: Improves user experience, better semantic search compatibility, more intuitive capability discovery #### Workflow State Management (2025-08-06) **Decision**: Clear response parameters when transitioning between workflow steps - Prevent response data from previous step contaminating next step logic - Explicitly pass `{ ...args, response: undefined }` during step transitions - Maintain clean state boundaries between workflow phases **Rationale**: Fixes critical bug where "manual" response from processing-mode step was incorrectly interpreted as capability preview response **Impact**: Ensures workflow state integrity, prevents parameter contamination bugs, improves workflow reliability #### Vector DB ID Format Revision (2025-08-06) **Decision**: Simplify Vector DB ID format to use resource names directly - Updated format: `capability-{resourceName}` with dots/slashes replaced by dashes - Example: `capability-resourcegroups-azure-upbound-io` - Remove apiVersion tracking from ID format **Rationale**: Aligns with simplified interface approach, easier to generate and debug **Impact**: Affects Vector DB storage keys, simpler ID generation logic #### Dual-Purpose Capability Search Architecture (2025-08-06) **Decision**: Implement unified capability search functionality serving both user-facing and internal system needs - **User-facing**: Add `search` operation to `manageOrgData` MCP tool for interactive capability discovery - **Internal**: Use same `searchCapabilities()` method for recommendation system pre-filtering in `schema.ts` - **Shared Implementation**: Single source of truth in `CapabilityVectorService.searchCapabilities()` method - **Parameters**: Support query, limit, complexityFilter, and providerFilter for both use cases **Rationale**: Eliminates code duplication, ensures consistent search behavior, provides user validation path for recommendation logic **Impact**: - Extends Milestone 4 to include MCP search operation before recommendation integration - Enables users to test semantic matching interactively before automated use - Validates search functionality works correctly before internal system integration - Provides debugging and discovery path for capability management #### Mass Resource Discovery Elimination (2025-08-07) **Decision**: Replace mass Kubernetes resource discovery with capability-based pre-filtering in recommendation system - **Remove**: `discoverResources()`, `discoverCRDs()`, `getAPIResources()` functions that enumerate all 415+ cluster resources - **Remove**: Resource discovery wrapper functions in `recommend.ts` and function parameters in `schema.ts` - **Replace**: Mass discovery with targeted capability search: `searchCapabilities(intent, {limit: 100})` - **Keep**: Individual resource schema retrieval (`explainResource()`) for specific resources identified by capability search - **No Fallback**: Fail fast with clear user guidance if no capabilities found, requiring cluster scanning first - **Result**: ~200-300 lines of obsolete discovery code eliminated, replaced with ~5 lines of capability-based pre-filtering **Rationale**: - Mass enumeration of 415+ resources overwhelms AI with irrelevant options and generic names - Capability-based pre-filtering provides AI with semantically relevant, context-rich resource candidates - Eliminates unnecessary Kubernetes API calls and improves recommendation performance - Semantic search already validates which resources are relevant for user intents - Fail-fast approach eliminates complexity of maintaining dual code paths and ensures capability adoption - Clear error messages guide users to proper system setup instead of degraded functionality **Impact**: - **Code Reduction**: Significant reduction in discovery complexity and maintenance burden (~200-300 lines eliminated) - **Performance**: Faster recommendations through reduced API calls and smaller candidate sets - **Accuracy**: AI receives focused, relevant candidates instead of exhaustive resource lists - **Architecture**: Clean separation between capability discovery (Vector DB) and schema retrieval (Kubernetes API) - **Maintainability**: Single code path to maintain, no dual fallback complexity - **User Experience**: Clear error messages guide users to scan capabilities first, ensuring proper system setup #### Capability-Based Resource Limit Optimization (2025-01-08) **Decision**: Use 100-resource limit for capability-based pre-filtering instead of smaller limits (3-5 or 10-20 resources) - **Limit**: Set `searchCapabilities(intent, {limit: 100})` as default for recommendation system integration - **Rationale**: Enables comprehensive solution diversity while maintaining semantic relevance - **Quality over Quantity**: 100 relevant resources with capability context superior to smaller sets without context - **Solution Strategies**: Supports diverse approaches (single composite resources, multi-resource combinations, different complexity levels) - **Evidence-Based**: Aligns with existing system optimization showing 100-resource limit works effectively **Impact**: - **Phase 1 Enhancement**: AI receives 100 capability-rich resources instead of 415 generic resource names - **Solution Diversity**: Enables single-resource solutions, multi-resource combinations, and complexity-based alternatives - **Context Quality**: Each resource includes capabilities, providers, complexity, use cases, and semantic relevance scores - **Performance**: Maintains fast response times while maximizing recommendation quality #### Rich Context Data Format for AI Integration (2025-01-08) **Decision**: Enhance Phase 1 data format to include comprehensive capability context for each resource - **Context Elements**: Include capabilities, providers, abstractions, complexity, use cases, confidence scores, semantic relevance - **Format Enhancement**: Transform generic resource lists into capability-rich resource descriptions - **AI Decision Support**: Provide semantic context enabling informed resource selection and combination strategies - **User Experience**: Enable AI to explain why specific resources match user intents **Rationale**: Rich context enables superior AI decision-making compared to generic resource names **Impact**: - **Improved Matching**: AI can understand resource purposes and match them to user intents semantically - **Solution Quality**: Better resource combinations based on capability compatibility and complexity appropriateness - **User Understanding**: AI can provide clear explanations for resource recommendations based on capability analysis #### Comprehensive Documentation Strategy (2025-08-07) **Decision**: Complete all user documentation as part of PRD-48 rather than treating it as follow-up work - **Scope**: Create new capability management guide, update README, recommendation guide, setup guide, and pattern guide - **Phased Approach**: Phase 1 (capability guide + README) for core documentation, Phase 2 (integration docs) for completeness - **Quality Standard**: All documentation must be validated against working implementation - **Completion Criteria**: 100% PRD completion includes comprehensive user documentation, not just implementation **Rationale**: Documentation is essential for user adoption and production readiness - should not be deferred **Impact**: - **PRD Scope**: Documentation work is part of core deliverable, not optional enhancement - **Completion Definition**: PRD reaches 100% only when users can successfully adopt the capability system - **User Experience**: Ensures capability system is accessible to other teams and individuals - **Production Readiness**: Complete documentation is required for production deployment ## Dependencies and Assumptions ### Technical Dependencies - **PRD #47**: Generic cluster data management tool provides the interface - Vector DB infrastructure (Qdrant) for capability storage - Claude AI integration for capability inference - Kubernetes API access for schema analysis ### Assumptions - Resource schemas contain sufficient information for capability inference across all resource types - AI can accurately infer capabilities from schema and metadata context for diverse CRD types - Vector embeddings effectively capture semantic relationships between intents and capabilities - Manual validation mode provides sufficient testing value to justify implementation complexity ## Related Work ### Builds Upon - **PRD #47**: Uses unified cluster data management interface - Existing AI recommendation pipeline and schema analysis - Current Vector DB and pattern storage infrastructure ### Enables Future Work - **PRD #49**: Resource dependencies can use capability information for better solution assembly - Enhanced organizational patterns with capability-aware recommendations - Machine learning improvements based on capability-intent matching data ## Appendix ### Example: PostgreSQL Intent Matching Flow #### Current State (Broken) ``` User Intent: "PostgreSQL database on Azure" ↓ AI Analysis: 415 resources → overwhelmed ↓ AI Selection: Server.dbforpostgresql.azure + StatefulSet + ConfigMap ↓ Missing: sqls.devopstoolkit.live (because AI didn't understand it handles PostgreSQL) ``` #### After Implementation (Fixed) ``` User Intent: "PostgreSQL database on Azure" ↓ Capability Search: "postgresql database azure" (limit: 100) ↓ Vector DB Results: 100 capability-matched resources including: 1. sqls.devopstoolkit.live (score: 0.95) - capabilities: [postgresql, database, azure, multi-cloud], complexity: low 2. server.dbforpostgresql.azure (score: 0.87) - capabilities: [postgresql, azure, infrastructure], complexity: medium 3. StatefulSet (score: 0.45) - capabilities: [persistent storage, stateful applications], complexity: high ... (97 more relevant resources with capability context) ↓ AI Ranking: Pre-filtered candidates with rich capability context enables informed decisions ↓ Final Result: sqls.devopstoolkit.live ranked #1 with clear reasoning based on capability match! ``` ### Capability Inference Examples #### SQL Resource Analysis ```yaml # Input: sqls.devopstoolkit.live CRD apiVersion: apiextensions.k8s.io/v1 kind: CustomResourceDefinition metadata: name: sqls.devopstoolkit.live spec: group: devopstoolkit.live names: kind: SQL plural: sqls # AI Inference Process: # 1. Schema Analysis: "SQL" + "database" fields → database capability # 2. Group Analysis: "devopstoolkit.live" → high-level composite # 3. Field Analysis: "provider", "engine" → multi-cloud, multi-engine # 4. AI Context: "Simple database management" → low complexity # Output: ResourceCapability { resourceName: "sqls.devopstoolkit.live", capabilities: ["postgresql", "mysql", "database", "multi cloud"], providers: ["azure", "gcp", "aws"], abstractions: ["managed service", "high availability"], complexity: "low", description: "High-level managed database solution supporting multiple engines and cloud providers", useCase: "Simple database deployment without infrastructure complexity", confidence: 90, analyzedAt: "2025-08-06T10:30:00.000Z" } ``` This PRD ensures that users requesting database solutions will find the optimal high-level resources instead of being overwhelmed with complex multi-resource alternatives. ## Work Log ### 2025-08-06: Major Implementation Sprint Completed (Milestones 1, 2 & 3) **Duration**: ~4-5 hours (estimated from conversation and implementation scope) **Primary Focus**: Complete capability inference engine and workflow integration **Completed PRD Items**: -

**Auto Mode Processing Bug**: Fixed critical issue where auto mode only processed first resource instead of all resources in batch - **Root Cause**: Auto mode was returning completion after first resource instead of continuing batch loop - **Fix**: Implemented proper iterative batch processing with comprehensive results aggregation in `src/tools/organizational-data.ts:1405-1507` - **Evidence**: Auto mode now processes ALL resources: `for (let i = 0; i < resources.length; i++)` with detailed error handling per resource - **Inconsistent Error Handling**: Resolved inconsistency between fail-fast storage vs graceful search fallbacks - **Root Cause**: Search operations showed "using keyword-only pattern search" suggesting graceful fallback, but we implemented fail-fast behavior - **Fix**: Updated `src/core/base-vector-service.ts:98-124` to fail immediately when embeddings unavailable: `throw new Error('Embedding service not available - cannot perform semantic search')` - **Impact**: Consistent fail-fast behavior across all vector operations, matching storage operation expectations - **Test Coverage Gaps**: Enhanced test coverage to catch business logic issues beyond workflow plumbing - **Added**: Multi-resource auto mode test in `tests/tools/organizational-data.test.ts` verifying all 3 resources processed in single operation -
