📚 Layer 2: Knowledge Retrieval

What information do I need?

Required Skills / Knowledge:

• Environment configuration management
• Understanding of all service dependencies
• Security best practices for secrets management

Estimated Effort:

M (Medium - 3-5 days)

Knowledge Resources:

• Review .cursor/skills/ for relevant patterns
• Check .cursor/llm/docs/ for implementation examples
• Read Platform Blueprint: docs/draft.md
• Read System Architecture: docs/planning/4-System-Architecture-Design.md
• Review existing .env.example if available
• Study tech docs / ADRs in docs/adrs/ directory
• Review service documentation for required environment variables

Architecture Context:

According to the Platform Blueprint, HyperAgent uses multiple services (orchestrator, agents, core services) that require various environment variables for database connections, API keys, RPC endpoints, and service configurations.

⚠️ Layer 3: Constraint Analysis

What constraints and dependencies exist?

Known Dependencies:

• All service requirements must be identified
• Development service accounts and API keys must be available
• Local development services (PostgreSQL, Redis) must be documented

Technical Constraints:

Scope limited to development environment variables. Production and staging configurations tracked separately. Sensitive values should use placeholders with instructions for obtaining real values.

Current Blockers:

None identified (update as work progresses)

Risk Assessment & Mitigations:

Risk of exposing sensitive credentials. Mitigation: Use placeholder values, document where to obtain real values, ensure .env.development is in .gitignore, provide secure vault access instructions.

Resource Constraints:

• Deadline: Feb 5–17 (Sprint 1)
• Effort Estimate: M (Medium - 3-5 days)

💡 Layer 4: Solution Generation

How should this be implemented?

Solution Approach:

Create .env.development file with:

1. All required environment variables organized by category
2. Placeholder values for sensitive data
3. Clear comments explaining each variable
4. Instructions for obtaining real values
5. Default values suitable for local development
6. Reference to internal vault for production secrets

Design Considerations:

• Follow established patterns from .cursor/skills/
• Maintain consistency with existing configuration patterns
• Consider security and secret management
• Ensure proper documentation
• Plan for testing and validation
• Support easy onboarding for new developers

Acceptance Criteria (Solution Validation):

• .env.development file created with all required variables
• Variables organized by category with clear comments
• Placeholder values provided for sensitive data
• Documentation includes instructions for obtaining real values
• File is properly gitignored
• Development setup guide updated
• Code reviewed and approved

📋 Layer 5: Execution Planning

What are the concrete steps?

Implementation Steps:

1. Audit all services for required environment variables
2. Categorize variables (database, API keys, RPC, storage, etc.)
3. Create .env.development file structure
4. Add database connection variables
5. Add LLM provider API key variables
6. Add RPC endpoint variables
7. Add storage service variables (IPFS, VectorDB)
8. Add application configuration variables
9. Add comments and documentation
10. Verify .env.development is in .gitignore
11. Create setup documentation
12. Code review and approval

Environment Setup:
Repos / Services:

• Infra / IaC repo: hyperagent/infra/
• Development environment

Required Environment Variables:

• All variables documented in .env.development

Access & Credentials:

• API keys: Internal vault (1Password / Doppler)
• Access request: Contact @devops or project lead
