* 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

- Updated documentation (README.md, docs/)
- Updated scripts (install.sh, update.sh, test scripts)
- Updated agent and command files
- Updated integrations and packages
- Updated all GitHub URLs to use OpenAgentsControl
Naming convention:
- Display name: "OpenAgents Control"
- Repository URL: OpenAgentsControl
* feat: Enable subagent-to-subagent delegation (ContextScout integration)
Allow coding-related subagents to call ContextScout for context discovery:
- CoderAgent: Can now discover coding standards on-demand
- TestEngineer: Can now discover test coverage and TDD guidelines
- CodeReviewer: Can now discover code review and security patterns
- BuildAgent: Can now discover build validation standards
- DocWriter: Can now discover documentation formatting guidelines
Changes per subagent:
- Added `task: true` to tools section
- Added permission allowlist for ContextScout only (deny all other delegation)
- Added Context Discovery workflow section with when-to-call guidance
This enables subagents to be self-sufficient for finding relevant standards
instead of relying on orchestrator to provide all context files.
Benefits:
- Subagents can discover what they need when context isn't explicit
- Maintains security (only ContextScout allowed via task tool)
- Follows existing patterns (uses task tool like main agents)
* fix: Set OPENCODE_BRANCH in CI tests to use PR branch for downloads

- Remove redundant tests already covered by unit tests (bash antipatterns, auto-fix detection)
- Add behavior-based validation using framework's built-in expectations (requiresApproval, mustUseDedicatedTools, requiresContext)
- Improve test resilience with graceful timeout handling for LLM unpredictability
- Add comprehensive validation report (LLM_INTEGRATION_VALIDATION.md)
- Remove outdated documentation (LLM_AGENT_TESTING.md, LLM_TEST_SUITE.md, PHASE_3_4_5_SUMMARY.md, COMPREHENSIVE_TEST_REPORT.md)
Test Results:
- All 10 LLM integration tests passing (42s execution time, 25% faster)
- Total test suite: 317 tests, 316 passing (99.7%)
- Tests proven to catch real issues (failed during development)
- Reviewer approved: Production ready (9.5/10 confidence)
What Changed:
- Tests can now actually fail (vs always passing)
- Use behavior expectations instead of forcing violations
- Focus on integration testing, not violation detection
- Honest about purpose and limitations
* fix(registry): add missing agents to installation profiles (#64)
- Add development agents (frontend-specialist, backend-specialist, devops-specialist, codebase-agent) to developer profile
- Add content agents (copywriter, technical-writer) and data-analyst to business profile
- Add all new agents to full and advanced profiles
- Add eval-runner and repo-manager to appropriate profiles
- Add context-retriever subagent to advanced profile
Create validation and documentation:
- Add profile coverage validation script (scripts/registry/validate-profile-coverage.sh)
- Add profile validation guide (.opencode/context/openagents-repo/guides/profile-validation.md)
- Add subagent invocation guide (.opencode/context/openagents-repo/guides/subagent-invocation.md)
- Document issue resolution (ISSUE_64_RESOLUTION.md)
Fixes#64 - Users installing with profiles now receive all agents added in v0.5.0
