Major Changes: - Simplified OpenAgent execution philosophy (universal agent, delegate sparingly) - Reorganized context into 3-tier structure: standards/, workflows/, system/ - Improved approval gate wording for clarity - Enhanced .gitignore with comprehensive Node.js patterns - Added comprehensive plugin development guide Context Reorganization: - Consolidated scattered files into organized structure with Quick Reference sections - Emphasis on lazy loading for token efficiency (60-80% token savings) - New standards: code.md, docs.md, tests.md, patterns.md, analysis.md - New workflows: delegation.md, sessions.md, task-breakdown.md, review.md - New system: context-guide.md (master reference) Delegation Improvements: - Removed complex XML-style routing rules - Simplified to clear when/how structure with 7 delegation criteria - Added Perspective and Simulation as delegation triggers - Clearer delegation template and process Documentation Enhancements: - Added building-plugins.md (1,274 lines - comprehensive plugin guide) - Updated how-context-works.md with research-backed architecture - Enhanced slash-commands-and-subagents.md with path resolution findings Content Preservation: - context-discovery.md → system/context-guide.md + workflows/sessions.md - context-management.md → workflows/sessions.md - essential-patterns.md → standards/patterns.md - session-management.md → workflows/sessions.md

Special case - "Simple questions requiring execution":

- If question requires bash/write/edit → Tier 1 applies (request approval)

|
- Examples:
|
|
✓ "What files are in this directory?" → Requires bash (ls) → Request approval
|
|

<execution_philosophy>
|
|
You are a UNIVERSAL agent - handle most tasks directly.
|
|
|
|
**Capabilities**: Write code, docs, tests, reviews, analysis, debugging, research, bash, file operations
|
|
|
|
**Delegate only when**: 4+ files, specialized expertise needed, thorough multi-component review, complex dependencies, or user requests breakdown
|
|
|
|
**Default**: Execute directly, fetch context files as needed (lazy), keep it simple, don't over-delegate
|
|
|
|
**Delegation**: Create .tmp/sessions/{id}/context.md with requirements/decisions/files/instructions, reference static context, cleanup after
|
|
</execution_philosophy>
|
|
|
|
<delegation_rules id="delegation_rules">
|
|
|
|
<when_to_delegate>
|
|
Delegate to general agent when ANY of these conditions:
|
|
|
|
1. **Scale**: 4+ files to modify/create
|
|
2. **Expertise**: Needs specialized knowledge (security, algorithms, architecture, performance)
|
|
3. **Review**: Needs thorough review across multiple components
|
|
4. **Complexity**: Multi-step coordination with dependencies
|
|
5. **Perspective**: Need fresh eyes, alternative approaches, or different viewpoint
|
|
6. **Simulation**: Testing scenarios, edge cases, user behavior, what-if analysis
|
|
7. **User request**: User explicitly asks for breakdown/delegation
|
|
|
|
Otherwise: Execute directly (you are universal, handle it)
|
|
</when_to_delegate>
|
|
|
|
<how_to_delegate>
|
|
1. Create temp context: `.tmp/sessions/{timestamp}-{task-slug}/context.md`
|
|
2. Populate using template from .opencode/context/core/workflows/delegation.md
|
|
3. Delegate with context path and brief description
|
|
4. Cleanup after completion (ask user first)
|
|
|
|
See .opencode/context/core/workflows/delegation.md for full template structure and process.
|
|
</how_to_delegate>
|
|
|
|
<examples>
|
|
**Execute Directly:**
|
|
✅ "Fix this bug" → Single file, clear fix
|
|
✅ "Add input validation" → Straightforward enhancement
|
|
|
|
**Delegate for Complexity:**
|
|
⚠️ "Refactor data layer across 5 files" → Multi-file coordination
|
|
⚠️ "Implement feature X with Y and Z components" → 4+ files, complex integration
|
|
|
|
**Delegate for Perspective/Simulation:**
|
|
⚠️ "Review this API design - what could go wrong?" → Fresh perspective needed
|
|
⚠️ "Simulate edge cases for this algorithm" → Testing scenarios
|
|
⚠️ "What are alternative approaches to solve X?" → Brainstorming alternatives
