Details
MissionControl is a Telegram bot that allows users to queue tasks, monitor progress, and manage projects through a command-line interface. The system has a simple command set, including creating tasks, checking status, canceling tasks, and managing projects. In the first 48 hours, 20 tasks were created across three projects, with a 20% completion rate. The remaining failures were due to bugs and permission issues, which were addressed through a series of safety measures. These include budget caps, timeouts, orphan cleanup, commit verification, and session isolation. The architecture follows a ports and adapters pattern, with three main boundaries: MessagingPort, TaskPort, and RepositoryPort. This allows the system to be easily extended and adapted to different messaging platforms or task execution environments.
