Goal Management System

Summary

The Goal Management System provides comprehensive goal management for strategic agents in mindX. It implements a priority queue with various prioritization strategies, dependency management, and goal lifecycle tracking.

Technical Explanation

The Goal Management System implements:

• Priority Queue: Heap-based priority queue for goal selection
• Dependency Management: Goal dependencies and dependent tracking
• Goal Lifecycle: Status tracking from PENDING to COMPLETED/FAILED
• Prioritization Strategies: Multiple strategies for goal prioritization

Architecture

• Type: goal_management
• Data Structure: Priority queue (heap)
• Dependency Graph: Goal dependency tracking
• Status Management: Comprehensive status lifecycle

Goal Statuses

• PENDING: Goal created but not yet active
• ACTIVE: Goal is currently being worked on
• COMPLETED_SUCCESS: Goal completed successfully
• COMPLETED_NO_ACTION: Goal completed without action needed
• FAILED_PLANNING: Goal failed during planning phase
• FAILED_EXECUTION: Goal failed during execution
• PAUSED_DEPENDENCY: Goal paused due to unmet dependencies
• CANCELLED: Goal was cancelled

Core Capabilities

• Goal creation and management
• Priority queue management
• Dependency tracking
• Goal status management
• Prioritization strategies
• Goal querying and filtering

Prioritization Strategies

• SimplePriorityThenTimeStrategy: Priority first, then creation time
• UrgencyStrategy: Urgency-based prioritization
• Custom strategies via ABC interface

Usage

from learning.goal_management import GoalManager, GoalSt

Create goal manager
goal_manager = GoalManager(agent_id="my_agent")

Add goal
goal = goal_manager.add_goal(
    description="Improve code quality",
    priority=8,
    metadata={"category": "code_quality"}
)

Add dependent goal
dependent_goal = goal_manager.add_goal(
    description="Test improvements",
    priority=7,
    dependency_ids=[goal.id]
)

Get highest priority goal
next_goal = goal_manager.get_highest_priority_pending_goal()

Update goal status
goal_manager.update_goal_status(goal.id, GoalSt.ACTIVE)
