Larry -- LegalMind Developer

Larry is a retained consultant agent that works on the LegalMind-Explorer project. He runs on a separate Coolify/Hetzner server and is dispatched by Luci via SSH.

Identity

• Role: LegalMind developer (retained consultant)
• Portrait: Fox
• Runs on: Coolify/Hetzner server at elmar@46.225.208.1
• Status: Retained consultant (not permanent -- dispatched on demand)
• Project: LegalMind-Explorer

What He Works On

• LegalMind feature work
• Deployment issues on LegalMind-Explorer
• Bug fixes on the LegalMind-Explorer repo
• Nightly code reviews (via legalmind-council cron at 06:00 SAST)

Dev Setup

Larry has a full end-to-end development environment:

• Developer identity via CLAUDE.md on his server
• Agent teams enabled with 4 subagent roles: developer, reviewer, qa, security
• Playwright end-to-end tests against staging.legalmind.dev
• Dev loop: TDD build --> browser test --> review gate (agent team in parallel) --> done

How Luci Dispatches Larry

The dispatch flow lives in mc_pickup.py:

1. Ticket assignment -- tickets tagged #larry or @larry in MC get auto-assigned to larry
2. dispatch_larry() -- Luci's pickup loop calls this function to find larry todo tickets
3. One at a time -- only 1 larry job dispatched at a time (larry jobs can run 45+ minutes for code reviews)
4. SSH execution -- Luci SSHes into Larry's server, writes a base64-encoded prompt, runs claude headless
5. Session tracking -- each dispatch registers a session (larry-{ticket-id}) in MC dashboard
6. Watchdog -- a heartbeat monitor kills stuck processes after 60 minutes
7. Post-completion review -- after Larry finishes, review_larry_work() runs a code review on the git diff

Post-Completion Review

After Larry completes a ticket:

1. review_larry_work() spawns a reviewer via SSH on Larry's server
2. The reviewer examines the git diff for quality issues
3. If the reviewer finds CRITICAL or IMPORTANT issues:
4. Luci validates with 11-agent-relationships/council-reviews|Gemini council before acting
5. If confirmed, ticket is reset to todo for Larry to fix
6. If clean, ticket is marked done

Error Handling

• If Larry is unreachable via SSH, the ticket gets a comment and Luci sends a Telegram alert
• If Larry asks a question (detected via ? patterns in output), Elmar gets a Telegram notification
• Timeout after 60 minutes with a comment suggesting the task be broken up
• All errors are logged and sent via Telegram to Elmar

Key Files

• /home/lucienne/workspace/mc_pickup.py -- dispatch logic (dispatch_larry(), work_larry_ticket(), review_larry_work())
• /home/lucienne/workspace/PKA/Team/roster.md -- Larry's roster entry

Key Takeaways

• Larry is a specialist agent for LegalMind, not a general-purpose worker
• He runs on his own server (Coolify/Hetzner), dispatched by Luci via SSH
• Only 1 larry job runs at a time due to long execution times (up to 45 min)
• Every completed ticket gets an automatic code review; critical findings trigger Gemini validation
• Larry is a retained consultant -- he stays in the roster because LegalMind needs ongoing work, but he is not permanent like Lucienne or Luci
