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
- Add community publishing guidelines

* docs: add OAC refactor quick start guide

- Add quick reference for Phase 1 implementation
- Include project structure and file locations
- Document configuration schema and defaults
- Add testing strategy and validation steps
- Include development workflow
- Reference all related resources

* 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.

FINAL REVIEW COMPLETE:

Overall Assessment: CONDITIONAL GO ✅⚠️
Confidence Level: 85% (High, with conditions)
Success Probability: 75% (with modifications)

Key Strengths:
✅ Exceptional user research (16,000+ lines, 4 personas)
✅ Clear technical architecture (monorepo, TypeScript, Zod)
✅ Security-first mindset (signing, scanning, verification)
✅ Realistic scope management (v1.0 vs v1.1 vs v2.0)
✅ Comprehensive feature coverage

Critical Gaps Identified:
❌ Discovery/Onboarding not in Phase 1 (but P0 in scenarios)
❌ Lockfile not in Phase 2 (but critical for teams)
❌ Security Pipeline not detailed in phases
❌ Progress UI not in Phase 1 (but needed for UX)
❌ Auto-detection not in Phase 1 (but reduces friction)

Conditions for Go:
1. Add discovery/onboarding to Phase 1 (+3 days)
2. Add lockfile to Phase 2 (+2 days)
3. Add security pipeline to Phase 1 (+2 days)
4. Add progress UI to Phase 1 (+1 day)
5. Revise timeline: 7 weeks → 9 weeks

Critical Action Items (6 days before Phase 1):
1. Add missing features to phases (2 days)
2. Define acceptance criteria (1 day)
3. Define testing strategy (1 day)
4. Design security pipeline (1 day)
5. Create monorepo structure (1 day)

Top Risks:
🔴 Timeline Slip (70% probability, high impact)
🟡 Scope Creep (50% probability, high impact)
🟡 Context Merging Complexity (60% probability, medium impact)

Recommendation: PROCEED WITH MODIFICATIONS
- Complete 6 days of prerequisite work
- Extend timeline to 9 weeks
- Add missing features to phases
- Define acceptance criteria and testing strategy

Status: READY TO IMPLEMENT (with modifications)
Next Steps: Complete prerequisites → Setup monorepo → Start Phase 1

* feat(context): Standardize context system with navigation, frontmatter, and MVI compliance

- ✅ All permission patterns follow last-matching-wins order
- ✅ Security denials applied consistently
- ✅ Context documentation updated and accurate

## Migration Details

Based on official OpenCode documentation (https://opencode.ai/docs/agents/):
- OpenCode v1.1.1+ uses `permission:` (singular)
- Deprecated: `permissions:` (plural)
- Granular control with last-matching-wins evaluation
- Valid actions: "allow", "ask", "deny"

All agents now comply with OpenCode v1.1.1+ standards.

- Fix repo-manager.md duplicate permission section
- Fix externalscout.md YAML indentation error
- Remove old tools: section from devops-specialist.md
- Restore context file permissions in context-manager.md
- Restore test command permissions in tester.md
- Clean up formatting in coder-agent.md

All 20 agent files now have valid YAML frontmatter with proper permission blocks.

* fix: standardize permission key across agent files

- Updated all instances of `permissions:` to `permission:` in agent frontmatter for consistency.
- Removed deprecated `write:` and `edit:` sections from externalscout.md.
- Adjusted related documentation to reflect the singular form of permission key.

These changes ensure compliance with OpenCode v1.1.1+ standards and improve YAML structure across the repository.

feat: Context path configuration and documentation reorganization (#143)
* feat: add npm package support for @openagents/control

- Convert package to publishable npm package with scoped name @openagents/control
- Add CLI entry point bin/oac.js for global installation
- Create .npmignore to exclude dev files and node_modules
- Configure package.json with proper files, bin, and metadata
- Add comprehensive NPM_PUBLISHING_GUIDE.md with publishing instructions
- Package size: 610KB (2.4MB unpacked) with 353 files
- Includes .opencode/tool/ directory without node_modules
- CLI command: oac (e.g., 'oac developer' or 'oac --help')

Users can install with: npm install -g @openagents/control

* chore: remove telegram bot files from package

- Delete .opencode/_lib/telegram-bot.ts (unused)
- Delete .opencode/plugin/telegram-notify.ts (depends on deleted file)
- Remove _lib directory reference from package.json files field
- Reduces package size from 610KB to 607KB
- Total files: 351 (down from 353)

* chore: remove all telegram references from registry and docs

- Remove telegram-bot and telegram-notify plugin entries from registry.json
- Remove telegram plugin references from all profiles (developer, business, full, advanced)
- Update profile-validation.md to remove telegram from business profile documentation
- Clean package with no telegram dependencies

* docs: enhance README clarity and add configuration examples

- Add Core Philosophy section with 4 key principles
- Add Quick Concepts for First-Time Users (scannable format)
- Add prominent Oh My OpenCode comparison link
- Add comprehensive Model Configuration section
- Add Customizing Agents section with practical examples
- Streamline model selection recommendations
- Add emoji headers for visual consistency
- Remove redundant FAQ entry

Addresses user feedback about documentation clarity and first-time user experience.

* refactor: remove OpenImplementer agent

- Delete OpenImplementer agent file (redundant with OpenAgent)
- Remove from registry.json and all profiles
- Update OpenCoder delegation rules (now handles 1-4 files directly)
- Clean up all context file references
- Remove from commands and documentation

Rationale: OpenImplementer only added 1 file to OpenAgent's capability (3→4 files), creating unnecessary complexity. OpenAgent and OpenCoder provide clearer separation: OpenAgent for general + focused tasks (1-4 files), OpenCoder for complex architecture (4+ files).

* fix: remove stale OpenImplementer reference from OpenCoder

- Remove OpenImplementer from Available Subagents list
- Clarify CoderAgent is used via TaskManager for complex tasks
- Keep delegation rules as-is (execute 1-4 files directly, delegate complex to CoderAgent)

* docs: remove remaining OpenImplementer references

- Update developer profile description (OpenAgent vs OpenCoder)
- Update registry.json profile description
- Update docs/README.md to remove OpenImplementer
- Update CHANGELOG.md to reflect simplified architecture

All OpenImplementer references now removed. Registry validation passes.

* docs: enhance README with first-time user improvements

- Add 'your secret weapon!' to Context System in Quick Concepts
- Add First-Time User Checklist after Get Started section
- Add visual comparison table for AOC vs Oh My OpenCode in FAQ
- Improve scannability and clarity for new users

Based on DocWriter review recommendations.

* docs: clarify project-context.md is created during installation

Minor enhancement to First-Time User Checklist step 2 for extra clarity.

* docs: change 'I' to 'we' for collaborative tone

- Update 'Why I Built This' to 'Why We Built This'
- Change 'I've spent' to 'We've spent'
- Change 'I use this' to 'We use this'
- Makes the project feel more collaborative and team-oriented

* docs: make intro more neutral and objective

- Change 'Why We Built This' to 'Why This Exists'
- Remove personal perspective ('We've spent 14+ years')
- Change 'We use this' to 'It's built for shipping'
- More professional and objective tone

* docs: major README rewrite based on user feedback

Key improvements based on real user confusion:

1. **Clear 'What Is AOC?' section** - Explains scaffold vs plugin approach upfront
2. **Model configuration prominently featured** - Addresses #1 user question
3. **Hook with quantified paradox** - Grabs attention in 15 seconds
4. **Context System promoted** - Moved to top, explains the differentiator
5. **Comparison table** - AOC vs Oh My OpenCode side-by-side
6. **Eliminated 60% redundancy** - Merged overlapping sections
7. **Simplified deep dives** - Model config and customization tightened

Based on user feedback: 'I just expected that behaviour because it was not
documented properly... the only thing really lacking was a clear explanation
of its purpose and how to configure models and adjust agents.'

Addresses: Confusion about scaffold vs plugin, model configuration, and
first-time user expectations.

* chore: publish package as @nextsystems/oac v0.7.0

- Changed package name from @openagents/control to @nextsystems/oac
- Successfully published to npm registry
- Users can install with: npm install -g @nextsystems/oac
- CLI command: oac

* feat: add context path configuration and reorganize documentation

- Add configurable context root via paths.json (@reference support)
- Add /add-context command for interactive context setup
- Move NPM_PUBLISHING_GUIDE.md to context system (guides/npm-publishing.md)
- Add GitHub issues workflow guide
- Update agents to support custom context directories
- Update navigation with new guides and file counts

This enables projects to use custom context directories (e.g., .context, .ai/context)
while maintaining backward compatibility with default .opencode/context/ structure.
