miyabi-a2a

Agent-to-Agent (A2A) task storage and communication for Miyabi.

Overview

miyabi-a2a provides task storage and coordination infrastructure for multi-agent collaboration in the Miyabi framework. Tasks are persisted as GitHub Issues, providing natural visualization and workflow integration.

Features

• GitHub Issues Backend: Uses GitHub Issues as persistent storage (no additional infrastructure required)
• Type-Safe API: Strongly typed task representation with async/await support
• Status Management: Automatic label-based status tracking
• Filtering: Query tasks by status, context, agent, and timestamp
• Natural UI: View and manage tasks directly in GitHub's issue tracker

Installation

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
miyabi-a2a = { version = "0.1.0", path = "../miyabi-a2a" }

Quick Start

use miyabi_a2a::{GitHubTaskStorage, TaskStorage, A2ATask, TaskStatus, TaskType};
use chrono::Utc;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create storage backend
    let storage = GitHubTaskStorage::new(
        std::env::var("GITHUB_TOKEN")?,
        "owner".to_string(),
        "repo".to_string(),
    )?;

    // Create a new task
    let task = A2ATask {
        id: 0, // Will be assigned by storage
        title: "Implement feature X".to_string(),
        description: "Detailed implementation plan...".to_string(),
        status: TaskStatus::Pending,
        task_type: TaskType::CodeGeneration,
        agent: Some("CodeGenAgent".to_string()),
        context_id: Some("project-123".to_string()),
        priority: 3,
        created_at: Utc::now(),
        updated_at: Utc::now(),
        issue_url: String::new(),
    };

    // Save task (creates GitHub Issue)
    let task_id = storage.save_task(task).await?;
    println!("Created task #{}", task_id);

    // Retrieve task
    if let Some(task) = storage.get_task(task_id).await? {
        println!("Task: {} - Status: {:?}", task.title, task.status);
    }

    Ok(())
}

API Reference

Core Types

A2ATask

Represents a task that can be exchanged between agents.

pub struct A2ATask {
    pub id: u64,              // GitHub Issue number
    pub title: String,
    pub description: String,
    pub status: TaskStatus,
    pub task_type: TaskType,
    pub agent: Option<String>,
    pub context_id: Option<String>,
    pub priority: u8,         // 0-5, higher = more urgent
    pub created_at: DateTime<Utc>,
    pub updated_at: DateTime<Utc>,
    pub issue_url: String,
}

TaskStatus

Task lifecycle states:

• Pending: Task created, awaiting processing
• InProgress: Task currently being worked on
• Completed: Task successfully completed
• Failed: Task failed with errors
• Blocked: Task blocked by dependencies

TaskType

Task classification:

• CodeGeneration: Code generation task
• CodeReview: Code review task
• Testing: Testing task
• Deployment: Deployment task
• Documentation: Documentation task
• Analysis: Analysis task

Storage Operations

save_task(task: A2ATask) -> Result<u64>

Create a new task. Returns the assigned task ID (GitHub Issue number).

let task_id = storage.save_task(task).await?;

get_task(id: u64) -> Result<Option<A2ATask>>

Retrieve a task by ID. Returns None if not found.

if let Some(task) = storage.get_task(42).await? {
    println!("Found task: {}", task.title);
}

list_tasks(filter: TaskFilter) -> Result<Vec<A2ATask>>

List tasks with optional filters.

use miyabi_a2a::TaskFilter;

let filter = TaskFilter {
    status: Some(TaskStatus::InProgress),
    context_id: Some("project-123".to_string()),
    limit: Some(10),
    ..Default::default()
};

let tasks = storage.list_tasks(filter).await?;

list_tasks_paginated(filter: TaskFilter) -> Result<PaginatedResult<A2ATask>>

List tasks with cursor-based pagination for efficient navigation through large task lists.

Pagination Features:

• ✅ Stable cursors (Base64-encoded)
• ✅ Forward/backward navigation
• ✅ Configurable page size (default: 50, max: 100)
• ✅ has_more flag for detecting last page
• ✅ Compatible with all filters

use miyabi_a2a::TaskFilter;

// First page (50 items by default)
let filter = TaskFilter {
    status: Some(TaskStatus::Pending),
    limit: Some(50),
    ..Default::default()
};

let page1 = storage.list_tasks_paginated(filter).await?;
println!("Page 1: {} items, has_more: {}", page1.items.len(), page1.has_more);

// Navigate to next page
if let Some(cursor) = page1.next_cursor {
    let filter = TaskFilter {
        cursor: Some(cursor),
        limit: Some(50),
        ..Default::default()
    };

    let page2 = storage.list_tasks_paginated(filter).await?;
    println!("Page 2: {} items", page2.items.len());

    // Navigate back to previous page
    if let Some(cursor) = page2.previous_cursor {
        let filter = TaskFilter {
            cursor: Some(cursor),
            ..Default::default()
        };
        let page1_again = storage.list_tasks_paginated(filter).await?;
    }
}

Cursor Format: Opaque Base64-encoded JSON containing {last_id, last_updated, direction}. Cursors are stable across requests.

Performance: Same as list_tasks() - uses API-level filtering for status, in-memory for other criteria.

update_task(id: u64, update: TaskUpdate) -> Result<()>

Update an existing task.

use miyabi_a2a::TaskUpdate;

let update = TaskUpdate {
    status: Some(TaskStatus::Completed),
    description: Some("Updated description".to_string()),
    ..Default::default()
};

storage.update_task(42, update).await?;

delete_task(id: u64) -> Result<()>

Delete a task (closes GitHub Issue).

storage.delete_task(42).await?;

GitHub Integration

Label Mapping

Tasks use GitHub labels for status and type tracking:

Status Labels:

• a2a:pending
• a2a:in-progress
• a2a:completed
• a2a:failed
• a2a:blocked

Type Labels:

• a2a:codegen
• a2a:review
• a2a:testing
• a2a:deployment
• a2a:documentation
• a2a:analysis

Required Permissions

The GitHub token requires the following scopes:

• repo (full repository access)

Set via environment variable:

export GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_your_token_here

Testing

# Run unit tests
cargo test --package miyabi-a2a

# Run with GitHub integration (requires GITHUB_TOKEN)
GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_xxx cargo test --package miyabi-a2a -- --ignored

Performance & Optimization

Current Implementation

Hybrid Filtering: API-level + In-memory filtering for optimal performance.

// Status filtering: API-level (GitHub labels)
let filter = TaskFilter {
    status: Some(TaskStatus::Pending),
    limit: Some(30),
    ..Default::default()
};
let tasks = storage.list_tasks(filter).await?;

Performance Characteristics

API-level Filtering (✅ Implemented)

Status Filtering: Uses GitHub API label queries

// GitHub API request
GET /repos/:owner/:repo/issues?labels=a2a:pending&per_page=30

Performance:

• Network Transfer: 90% reduction for status queries
• Query Time: <50ms (GitHub servers)
• Example: 10 pending tasks → 10 Issues fetched (vs 100 with in-memory)

In-memory Filtering

Other Filters: context_id, agent, last_updated_after

• Applied after API fetch
• Performance: <1ms (local filtering)
• Reason: Not supported by GitHub Issues API labels

Optimization Results

Before (MVP):

100 Issues fetch → 100 transfers → In-memory filter → 10 matches
Network: 100 Issues | Time: ~200ms

After (Optimized):

Label filter → 10 Issues fetch → 10 transfers → In-memory filter → 10 matches
Network: 10 Issues | Time: ~50ms

Improvement:

• ✅ 90% less network traffic
• ✅ 75% faster query time
• ✅ Scales better with large task counts

Roadmap

Cursor-based Pagination (Issue #279):

• ✅ Paginate through large result sets
• ✅ Support for 1000+ tasks
• ✅ Forward/backward navigation with stable cursors

GraphQL API (Future):

• ⏳ Full API-level filtering (context_id, agent, timestamps)
• ⏳ Single-request multi-field queries

Examples

See the examples directory for complete usage examples:

• Basic CRUD operations
• Multi-agent coordination
• Status transitions
