At that point it's deterministic and doesn't need the LLM. Once a plan has been decomposed and evaluated, it becomes a sequence of actions. Actions can either wait on a trigger or flow from one to another.

For the arrow example: wait here -> bind: arrow event -> pick_up $target -> goto player -> drop $target.

A plan can bind to multiple steps and actions. eg you can tell the dog, "when I say apple you say banana" this creates a short lived "player has said %apple%" -> say "banana" rule. Hide and seek does "say: count to 10" (this then gets fed to llm that converts it to "one, two, three"). So, the plan decomposition is fuzzy, but it gets decomposed to concrete steps, these steps might invoke the LLM back if needed so, but mostly for color, not logic.

Where the LLM is used afterwards, is for evaluating the result. The dog might ask for a treat if it got right or get frustrated is it misses a beat, etc (depending on emotional state, hunger levels, etc).

Basically trying to use the best of each system (fuzzy/vague/emotional for LLM, "hard" game actions for determinism). You can think of Ale's output as a small flowchart.

I am using a pretty dumb model. It's great for speaking, terrible for thinking, so there's a need for creativity
