* 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.

❌ Copy-Paste Without Adaptation

Posting same content across platforms without optimization.

✅ Platform-Specific Adaptation

Tailoring content for each platform's audience and format.


❌ Repurposing Low-Performing Content

Wasting time on content that didn't resonate.

✅ Repurposing Winners

Focusing on proven, high-performing content.


Missing opportunity to drive traffic.

✅ Strategic Linking

Always linking back to pillar content.


❌ Overwhelming Audience

Posting too much repurposed content at once.

✅ Strategic Distribution

Spreading repurposed content over time.


Repurposing ROI

Measuring Success

Metrics to track:

  • Total pieces created from one pillar
  • Traffic to original content
  • Engagement across formats
  • Time saved vs. creating new
  • Reach across platforms

Example ROI:

  • 1 pillar blog post (4 hours)
  • → 15 social posts (2 hours)
  • → 1 infographic (1 hour)
  • → 1 podcast episode (2 hours)
  • → 5 short videos (2 hours)
  • Total: 20+ pieces in 11 hours vs. 80+ hours creating from scratch

Usage

Apply repurposing strategies to:

  • Maximize content ROI
  • Reach different audiences
  • Maintain consistent posting
  • Extend content lifespan
  • Build content ecosystem
  • Save time and resources

Remember: Repurposing isn't lazy—it's strategic. Your audience consumes content differently across platforms. Meet them where they are with the format they prefer.
