- 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

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

- 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 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.

* feat(evals): add multi-agent logging system and performance optimizations
Implement comprehensive multi-agent logging and performance improvements for the eval framework.
Task 01: Multi-Agent Logging System
- Add complete hierarchical logging module (evals/framework/src/logging/)
- SessionTracker: tracks parent-child delegation hierarchies
- MultiAgentLogger: pretty-prints logs with visual indentation
- Formatters: box characters and emoji formatting
- 37 passing unit tests (session-tracker, logger, integration)
- Integrate with SDK event stream handler
- Hook into session.created, message.updated, message.part.updated events
- Real-time child session detection via timestamp heuristics
- Message deduplication for cleaner output

chore: verify and stabilize main branch ( #42 )
...
* chore: update package-lock.json after npm install
* chore: remove unused ajv-cli, keep vitest at stable 1.6.1
- Removed ajv-cli (unused dev dependency, had high severity vulnerability)
- Kept vitest at 1.6.1 (stable, upgrading to v4 requires extensive refactoring)
- Reduced vulnerabilities from 6 to 4 (all moderate, dev-only)
- All remaining vulnerabilities are in esbuild/vite (dev server only, no production impact)
- Build and tests verified working
* feat(evals): add execution-balance validation to 21 OpenAgent tests and enhance agent system
Major improvements to evaluation framework and agent capabilities:
## Execution Balance Evaluator Integration
- Added execution-balance rule to 21 OpenAgent tests (2.7% → 31.5% coverage)
- Validates "read before execute" pattern across critical rules, workflows, and edge cases
- Tests now check: read operations before execution tools, healthy read/exec ratio (≥1.0)
- Coverage includes: approval-gate, context-loading, stop-on-failure, report-first tests
## Agent System Enhancements
- Enhanced OpenCoder agent with critical rules enforcement (approval gates, context loading)
- Added structured delegation rules and workflow phases
- Improved error handling with REPORT→PROPOSE→REQUEST→FIX pattern
## New Agent Creation System
- Added research-backed agent creation templates and guides
- Includes 8 test templates covering planning, context, incremental execution, tools
- Automated agent scaffolding with /create-agent command
- Complete documentation in .opencode/command/openagents/new-agents/
## OpenCoder Test Suite
- Added 8 comprehensive test cases for OpenCoder agent
- Tests cover: planning, context-loading, delegation, error-handling, implementation
- Includes DEBUG_GUIDE.md and QUICK_TEST_GUIDE.md for developers
## Documentation & Tooling
- Added DEVELOPMENT.md guide for contributors
- Enhanced CONTRIBUTING.md with quick reference and common commands
- Improved event-logger with DEBUG_VERBOSE mode for detailed output
- Added debug scripts: show-test-conversation.sh, run-test-verbose.sh
- Removed deprecated EXTERNAL_PR_GUIDE.md
## Version Bump
- Bumped version to 0.0.3 (patch)
Files changed: 60+ files (21 test updates, 16 new agent templates, 8 new tests, docs, tooling)
* feat(ci): add PR title validation for semantic versioning
Add automated PR title validation to ensure conventional commit format.
This enables proper automatic version bumping when PRs are merged.
Features:
- Validates PR titles against conventional commit patterns
- Shows expected version bump (major/minor/patch)
- Posts helpful comment with examples if validation fails
- Supports all conventional commit types (feat, fix, docs, etc.)
- Supports breaking changes (feat!, fix!)
- Supports pre-release tags ([alpha], [beta], [rc])
When PR titles follow the format, version bumping works correctly:
- feat: → minor bump (0.3.0 → 0.4.0)
- fix: → patch bump (0.3.0 → 0.3.1)
- feat!: → major bump (0.3.0 → 1.0.0)
* fix(ci): improve PR checks workflow with sequential execution
Reorganize PR checks to run in logical sequence and skip unnecessary checks:
Changes:
- Run PR title validation first (fast, always required)
- Detect changed files to determine which checks to run
- Only run build checks if evals/ files changed
- Add comprehensive summary job showing all check results
- Prevent cache errors when evals files not changed
Benefits:
- Faster PR checks (skip unnecessary builds)
- Clear sequential execution (title → changes → build)
- Better error messages and summaries
- Reduced CI/CD costs
* fix(ci): resolve PR #42 issues and refactor prompt architecture
## Fixed PR #42 Issues
1. **Prompt Validation** - Refactored to new architecture where agent files are canonical defaults
2. **Package-lock.json** - Fixed workflow to use root package-lock (npm workspaces)
3. **Git Merge Base** - Added fetch-depth: 0 to PR checks workflow
## New Prompt Architecture
**Before:**
- Agent files had to match .opencode/prompts/<agent>/default.md
- Caused validation failures when updating prompts
- Redundant duplication
**After:**
- Agent files (.opencode/agent/*.md) = Canonical defaults (source of truth)
- Prompt variants (.opencode/prompts/<agent>/<model>.md) = Model-specific optimizations
- No more default.md files needed
## Changes
### Workflows
- pr-checks.yml: Added fetch-depth: 0 for full git history
- validate-test-suites.yml: Fixed package-lock path for npm workspaces
- validate-registry.yml: Updated validation messaging
### Scripts
- validate-pr.sh: Validates prompt library structure (rejects default.md files)
- use-prompt.sh: Handles 'default' as agent file, variants as model-specific
- test-prompt.sh: Tests default variant correctly, saves results to prompts/results/
### Documentation
- .opencode/prompts/README.md: Updated architecture explanation
- docs/contributing/CONTRIBUTING.md: Updated prompt workflow
- scripts/development/demo.sh: Updated structure display
## Results
- 12 files changed, 231 insertions(+), 811 deletions(-)
- Net reduction: 580 lines (cleaner codebase)
- All validations passing
- Results directory structure preserved
- Backwards compatible with existing test results
