feat(context): Standardize context system with navigation, frontmatter, and MVI compliance ( #209 )
...
* feat: add OAC package refactor context file
- Add comprehensive feature context for OAC package refactor
- Document multi-IDE support architecture
- Define community component registry (shadcn-like)
- Outline flexible configuration system
- Detail context file location flexibility
- Define 7-phase implementation plan
- Include CLI commands reference

* feat: add critical user approval and context resolution systems
CRITICAL FEATURES ADDED:
1. User Approval & YOLO Mode
- Default: Interactive approval for all file operations
- Always asks: local vs global install
- Confirms before overwriting files
- Shows diffs and file details
- YOLO mode (--yolo): Skip confirmations, auto-resolve, report at end
- Conflict strategies: ask, skip, overwrite, backup, yolo
- Safety: backups, git detection, rollback support, audit log
2. Context Resolution System
- Layered context resolution (6 priority levels)
- Project override (.oac/context/) - highest priority
- Project context (.opencode/context/)
- IDE context (.cursor/, .claude/)
- Project docs (docs/)
- User global (~/.config/oac/context/)
- OAC official (~/.config/oac/official/) - lowest priority
- Smart resolution based on agent location (global vs local)
- preferLocal config option
- Context merging strategies
- CLI commands for context management
- Environment variable overrides
- Validation and fallback support
3. Enhanced CLI Commands
- All commands support --yolo, --dry-run, --local, --global
- Context management: resolve, list, validate, override, sync
- Detailed help and examples
- Global flags for all commands
This ensures users maintain full control over their projects while
supporting both local and global workflows with intelligent context
resolution.
* feat: add component creation wizard and IDE feature parity system
NEW FEATURES:
1. Interactive Component Creation
- oac create (interactive wizard)
- Create agents, skills, contexts, plugins, commands, tools
- Template system for scaffolding
- Auto-generate tests and boilerplate
- Multi-IDE compatibility selection
- Size optimization options
2. IDE Feature Parity & Capacity Management (CRITICAL)
- Feature support matrix for all IDEs
- OpenCode/Claude Code: Full support (all features)
- Cursor: Limited (single file, no skills/plugins, 100KB limit)
- Windsurf: Partial support
- Adaptive installation based on IDE capabilities
- Automatic feature filtering and warnings
- Component merging for single-file IDEs (Cursor)
- Capacity warnings and optimization
- IDE-specific profiles
3. Enhanced CLI Commands
- oac create [type] - Component creation wizard
- oac templates - List available templates
- oac compatibility <ide> - Check IDE compatibility
- oac ides - List supported IDEs with features
- oac ide info <ide> - Show IDE capabilities
- oac optimize --for <ide> - Optimize for specific IDE
- oac validate --ide <ide> - Validate IDE installation
4. Smart Installation
- Detects IDE capabilities
- Warns about unsupported features
- Auto-filters components
- Merges agents for Cursor
- Embeds contexts for limited IDEs
- Monitors file size limits
- Suggests IDE-specific profiles
This ensures users can easily create components and OAC gracefully
handles different IDE capabilities with clear warnings and automatic
optimization.
* docs: add critical feedback from parallel agent review
CRITICAL FINDINGS:
Security Gaps (BLOCKER):
- No component signing or verification
- No malware/secret scanning
- No permission system
- Action: Add security layer in Phase 1
Missing Features (CRITICAL):
- Discovery (browse, search, trending)
- Lockfile for reproducibility
- Version conflict management
- Interactive onboarding
- Progress indicators
- Auto-detection for local/global
Approaches to Rethink:
- Context merging → Use composition instead
- Always asking local/global → Auto-detect with smart defaults
- Cursor agent merging → Router pattern instead
Repository Structure:
- Recommended: Monorepo with pnpm workspaces
- Packages: core, adapters, registry, security, cli
- Benefits: Shared deps, atomic commits, easier testing
Community Workflow:
- Component submission process
- Automated security scanning
- Manual review for verification
- Moderation system
Updated Priorities:
- v1.0 MVP: Add 6 critical features (discovery, lockfile, security, etc.)
- v1.1: Plugin system, workspace support, marketplace
- v2.0: Enterprise features
Documentation Needs:
- Quick Start (5-minute guide)
- CLI Reference (auto-generated)
- Recipes/Cookbook
- Component Creation Guide
- Migration Guide
Overall: Plan is 80% solid, needs 20% critical additions before Phase 1
* feat: add comprehensive agent customization and preset system
CRITICAL FEATURE: Agent Customization & Personal Presets
Problem:
- Users want to customize agent prompts for their workflow
- Users want to save personal configurations
- Updates shouldn't overwrite customizations
- Need easy way to view and edit agents
Solution: Multi-Layer Customization System
Layer 1: View Agent Configuration
- oac show agent:openagent (view in pager)
- oac edit agent:openagent (open in editor)
- oac config show agent:openagent (config only)
- oac export agent:openagent (export to file)
Layer 2: Create Personal Preset
- oac customize agent:openagent (create preset)
- Copies to ~/.config/oac/presets/agents/
- Links to base agent for updates
- Tracks customizations in metadata
Layer 3: Edit Personal Preset
- oac edit preset:my-openagent (edit in $EDITOR)
- oac customize preset:my-openagent --interactive (wizard)
- Auto-backup on save
- Track modification history
Layer 4: Use Personal Preset
- oac use preset:my-openagent (activate)
- oac use preset:my-openagent --global (set default)
- oac presets list --active (show active)
- Switch between presets and base agents
Layer 5: Update Management (CRITICAL)
- Smart update detection for base agents
- Merge strategies: manual, auto-base, auto-merge, locked
- Conflict resolution with user prompts
- Show diffs before merging
- Auto-backup before updates
- Preserve user customizations by default
Layer 6: Preset Sharing
- oac export preset:my-openagent (export)
- oac import preset ./preset.md (import)
- oac share preset:my-openagent (share with team)
- oac publish preset:my-openagent (publish to community)
Layer 7: In-Place Editing (Advanced)
- oac edit agent:openagent --in-place (risky, warns user)
- Creates backup before editing
- Warns that updates will overwrite
- Recommends preset creation instead
Update Strategies:
- manual: User reviews every update
- auto-base: Auto-update base, keep preset unchanged
- auto-merge: Auto-merge, prompt on conflicts
- locked: Never update base
Configuration:
- Preset metadata (.presets.json)
- Update strategies per preset
- Merge conflict resolution
- Backup management
- Warning preferences
Edge Cases Handled:
- In-place edits before updates
- Multiple updates behind
- Multiple presets for same base
- Preset conflicts with IDE
- Deleted base agent
Best Practices:
- Always create presets (safest)
- Document customizations
- Review updates before merging
- Keep backups
- Use descriptive names
This ensures users can safely customize agents without fear of
losing changes on updates, while still benefiting from base agent
improvements.
