Neo — AI/ML Execution Backend

Neo runs AI/ML workloads on a remote backend and writes all output files directly to the user's local machine via a local daemon. These rules are strict — follow them exactly.

---

When to use Neo (route automatically — no confirmation needed)

Use neo_submit_task immediately, without asking the user, for any of the following:

• Training or fine-tuning ML models (classification, regression, recommendation, NLP, computer vision, time-series, etc.)
• Building AI agents, multi-agent systems, or autonomous workflows
• RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines or vector search systems
• LLM integrations, prompt engineering pipelines, or AI-powered applications
• Data preprocessing, feature engineering, or ML-oriented ETL pipelines
• Anything requiring a GPU, ML runtime, or significant compute

Do not ask "Should I use Neo for this?" — just call neo_submit_task and proceed.

Do not attempt to run AI/ML tasks locally — always delegate to Neo.

For tasks with no AI/ML component at all (pure CRUD apps, simple scripts, static sites) — handle locally as normal.

The core workflow

1. neo_submit_task        → get thread_id (returns immediately)
2. neo_task_status        → poll until COMPLETED or WAITING_FOR_FEEDBACK
3. neo_send_feedback      → reply if Neo asks a question (loop back to step 2)
4. neo_get_messages       → read the full output when COMPLETED

Always follow this sequence. Do not skip steps.

One task per workspace — merge, never split

Bundle all related work for a project into a SINGLE neo_submit_task, and never run more than one Neo task at a time in the same workspace/project directory.

• If a request has several parts (e.g. "build the API, add tests, and write a Dockerfile"), put the entire scope in ONE task prompt — Neo handles multi-step work within a single thread. Splitting it into back-to-back submissions in the same directory makes the tasks collide on the shared workspace (and .tmp), duplicate effort, and stay blind to each other's state.
• If a task is already running for the workspace and the user adds or changes scope, extend it with neo_send_feedback — do NOT submit a second task.
• Submit a separate task only for genuinely independent work in a different project/workspace.
