Intent to Plan Transition
The fundamental loop. An agent receives a high-level intent, decomposes it into a structured plan, executes tasks, and verifies the result.
Goal
Validate that the runtime can accept a Context with an Intent and produce a valid Plan.
Success Criteria
Plan is schema-valid and logically addresses the Intent.
Sequence
Execution Steps
The normative sequence of operations for this flow.
User Intent
User submits a high-level goal via Context.
Context Retrieval
Agent retrieves relevant context and constraints.
Plan Generation
Agent decomposes intent into a DAG of steps.
Task Execution
Runtime executes steps in dependency order.
Verification
Output is validated against the original intent.
Normative
Normative Scope
This flow normatively aggregates and enforces existing constraints from the following MPLP modules.
Context Module
A valid Context MUST exist and be referenced prior to plan generation.
Plan Module
The generated Plan MUST be schema-valid, dependency-consistent, and logically derived from the Intent.
Trace Module
All transitions and outcomes during this flow MUST be traceable and auditable.
Validation
Failure Conditions
Execution of this flow MUST be considered non-conformant if any of the following conditions occur.
A valid Context is missing, invalid, or not referenced.
The generated Plan violates schema or dependency constraints.
The Plan does not logically address the originating Intent.
The execution result cannot be verified against the Intent through Trace records.
Protocol Compliance Requirement
Any MPLP-conformant runtime is expected to pass this flow without violating any of the normative constraints defined above.
Failure to satisfy this flow results in a non-conformant MPLP implementation.
