generate-and-grade

A deterministic regression net for the agent generator. It runs a fixed prompt set through the generator's no-LLM path — assembleAgentBundle(heuristicIntent(sentence)) — and asserts each sentence still yields a SANE agent (right trigger kind, expected tool bindings, expected channel, correct skill template). No live LLM key needed; it is reproducible in CI and locally.

When to use

After ANY change to:

• packages/crm/src/lib/agents/generate/** (parse-intent.ts, agent-bundle.ts, bind-tools.ts, tool-catalog.ts)
• the trigger model (src/lib/agents/triggers/agent-trigger.ts)
• the starter templates (src/lib/agent-templates/starter-pack.ts)

Run it

From packages/crm:

node --import tsx --test tests/regression/generator-prompts.spec.ts

Expect: all cases pass (fail 0). The baseline is green; any red is a regression.

On failure — STOP and report

If any case fails, the generator regressed. Do NOT proceed with the change. Read the failure message — it names the exact sentence and every mismatch on its own line, e.g.:

Generator regression for sentence: "Post a weekly Instagram highlight of our 5-star reviews"
  • trigger.kind: expected "schedule", got "event"
  • connectors: missing required tool id(s) [postiz] — bound: [none]
  • skill: customSkillMd contains forbidden signature(s) ["You are the review-requester"] — wrong skill template was used

Report to the user: the sentence + which axis broke (trigger / tool / channel / skill template), and STOP. Fix the generator so the case passes again.

Only re-calibrate if the heuristic genuinely improved

The expectations in tests/regression/generator-prompts.ts are the locked baseline of what the deterministic heuristic emits today (including documented KNOWN GAP: cases where it underperforms the LLM author). Only edit an expectation when you have deliberately made the heuristic SMARTER and the new output is the better answer — never loosen an expectation just to make a red case green against unchanged code.
