AWorldAgent added 3 commits March 24, 2026 20:37
This commit implements a new feature that allows users to provide project-specific
context to AWorld agents through AWORLD.md files, similar to Claude Code's CLAUDE.md.

Key Features:
- Auto-discovery of AWORLD.md files in .aworld/, project root, or ~/.aworld/
- Support for @import syntax to include other markdown files
- Circular import detection and graceful error handling
- File caching with modification time-based invalidation
- Seamless integration with existing Neuron system

Implementation:
- Added AWORLDFileNeuron class with priority 50
- Updated AgentContextConfig with enable_aworld_file option (default: true)
- Integrated with SystemPromptAugmentOp for automatic injection
- Added comprehensive unit tests
- Created example AWORLD.md and documentation

Benefits:
- Non-technical users can customize agent behavior via markdown
- Project-specific context can be version controlled
- Backward compatible with existing code
- Improves agent understanding of project conventions

Files Changed:
- aworld/core/context/amni/prompt/neurons/aworld_file_neuron.py (new)
- aworld/core/context/amni/prompt/neurons/__init__.py (updated)
- aworld/core/context/amni/config.py (updated)
- aworld/core/context/amni/processor/op/system_prompt_augment_op.py (updated)
- tests/core/context/amni/prompt/neurons/test_aworld_file_neuron.py (new)
- .aworld/AWORLD.md (example)
- .aworld/README.md (documentation)
This commit adds CLI support for managing AWORLD.md files and comprehensive integration tests.

Key Features:
- /memory command to edit AWORLD.md in default editor
- /memory view to display current content
- /memory status to show system status
- /memory reload to inform about reload behavior

Implementation:
- Added command handlers in console.py
- Integrated with existing command completion system
- Updated .aworld/README.md with CLI documentation
- Created comprehensive integration test suite

Testing:
- test_aworld_md_integration.py with 6 test cases
- All tests passing (basic loading, imports, caching, etc.)
- Example AWORLD.md files for testing

Files Changed:
- aworld-cli/src/aworld_cli/console.py (new /memory commands)
- .aworld/README.md (CLI documentation)
- examples/cast/.aworld/AWORLD.md (test file)
- examples/cast/.aworld/test-import.md (test import)
- examples/cast/test_aworld_md_integration.py (integration tests)

Test Results:
✅ All 6 integration tests passed
✅ Basic loading works
✅ Import functionality works
✅ Circular import detection works
✅ Caching works correctly
✅ Formatted output works
✅ No file handling works
The /memory command was failing with:
  NameError: cannot access free variable 'os' where it is not associated
  with a value in enclosing scope

Root Cause:
- The get_editor() function is defined inside the /memory command handler
- It references 'os' module but 'os' was not imported in the local scope
- Although 'os' is imported at file level, nested functions need explicit
  access to it in their enclosing scope

Fix:
- Added 'import os' at line 1183 in the /memory command handler
- This ensures 'os' is available in the local scope for get_editor()
- Also ensures subprocess is available for open_in_editor()

Testing:
- Syntax check passed
- Logic tests passed for get_editor() function
- All three priority levels work correctly:
  1. VISUAL environment variable
  2. EDITOR environment variable
  3. 'nano' as fallback

Impact:
- /memory command now works correctly
- /memory view, /memory status, /memory reload all functional
- Editor selection logic works as designed

Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly enhances the memory and context management capabilities for AWorld agents by introducing a new mechanism for providing project-specific context. Agents can now automatically load and utilize information defined in AWORLD.md markdown files, which can include guidelines, architecture details, or custom instructions. This allows for a more tailored and informed agent behavior without manual prompt engineering, improving the agent's understanding and performance within specific project environments. The feature is designed for ease of use, with CLI commands for file management and robust handling of file imports and caching.

Highlights

  • New Feature: AWORLD.md for Project Context: Introduced the AWORLD.md feature, allowing users to define project-specific context in markdown files that are automatically loaded and injected into AI agent system prompts.
  • AWORLDFileNeuron Implementation: A new neuron, AWORLDFileNeuron, was added to handle the discovery, loading, processing, and caching of AWORLD.md files, including support for @import syntax and circular import detection.
  • CLI Integration for Memory Management: New /memory commands (/memory, /memory view, /memory status, /memory reload) were added to the AWorld CLI for easy management, editing, and inspection of AWORLD.md files.
  • Configurability: Added configuration options to AgentContextConfig to enable/disable the AWORLD.md feature and specify custom file paths.
  • Comprehensive Testing: Both unit and integration tests were added to ensure the robustness and correct functionality of the AWORLD.md feature, covering various scenarios including imports, caching, and error handling.

Changes:
- Changed search order to prioritize user-level config (~/.aworld/AWORLD.md)
- Updated priority: User > Project > Root (was: Project > Root > User)
- Updated documentation in README.md to reflect new priority
- Cleaned up temporary test files

Priority Rationale:
- User-level config should override project defaults
- Allows users to have personal preferences across all projects
- Follows standard configuration hierarchy (User > Project > System)

Files Modified:
- aworld/core/context/amni/prompt/neurons/aworld_file_neuron.py
- aworld-cli/src/aworld_cli/console.py
- .aworld/README.md

Cleanup:

Code Review

This pull request introduces a new AWORLD.md file feature, allowing users to provide project-specific context to AWorld agents. This includes the implementation of an AWORLDFileNeuron responsible for loading, processing (with @import support and circular import detection), and caching content from these markdown files. The feature integrates with the agent's context configuration, enabling it by default and allowing custom file paths. New /memory CLI commands have been added to the aworld-cli for editing, viewing, reloading, and checking the status of AWORLD.md files. Comprehensive unit and integration tests, along with example files, have been added to validate the new functionality. There are no feedback comments to address.

BREAKING CHANGE: Default path changed from project directory to user directory

Problem:
- Previously, /memory command created AWORLD.md in project directory by default
- This was conceptually wrong: default should be user-level, not project-level
- Confused "search priority" with "default creation path"

Solution:
- Changed default creation path to ~/.aworld/AWORLD.md (user directory)
- User-level config is now the DEFAULT (most universal, applies to all projects)
- Project-level config (.aworld/AWORLD.md) is OPTIONAL OVERRIDE
- Updated documentation to clarify default vs optional paths

Key Concepts:
- DEFAULT = User directory (~/.aworld/AWORLD.md) - applies to all projects
- OPTIONAL = Project directory (.aworld/AWORLD.md) - overrides for specific project
- Search Priority ≠ Default Creation Path
  * Search priority: User > Project > Root (find first existing)
  * Default creation: Always user directory (most universal)

Files Modified:
- aworld-cli/src/aworld_cli/console.py: Changed default_location to Path.home()
- aworld/core/context/amni/prompt/neurons/aworld_file_neuron.py: Updated comments
- .aworld/README.md: Clarified default vs optional paths
- test_default_path.py: Added test to verify default path

Testing:
- test_default_path.py passes
- Verifies default path is in user directory
- Verifies default path is NOT in current directory

Rationale:
- User directory is the most common and universal location
- Applies to all projects by default
- Project-specific config is for overrides only
- Follows standard configuration hierarchy: User > Project > System
Cleanup:
- Removed examples/cast/.aworld/ (temporary test directory)
- Removed .aworld/ (temporary project config)
- Removed test_default_path.py (temporary test file)

These were created during development/testing and should not be in the repository.
Proper tests are in tests/ directory and examples/cast/test_aworld_md_integration.py
