* 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. * docs: complete comprehensive user scenario analysis (16,014 lines) PLANNING PHASE COMPLETE: Documents Created (9 files, 400KB): -

1. Function Definition Standards
1.1 Naming Convention
Rule: Prefer single-word function names
Compliance: 95%+
// ✅ GOOD - Single-word names
export const create = fn(...)
export const fork = fn(...)
export const touch = fn(...)
export const get = fn(...)
export const share = fn(...)
export async function stream(input: StreamInput) {...}
export async function work<T>(concurrency, items, fn) {...}
// ✅ ACCEPTABLE - Multi-word only when necessary
export function isDefaultTitle(title: string) {...} // Boolean predicate
export function assertNotBusy(sessionID: string) {...} // Assertion pattern
export async function createNext(input) {...} // Version disambiguation
export async function resolvePromptParts(template) {...} // Complex operation needs clarity
// ❌ AVOID - Unnecessary multi-word names
function prepareJournal(dir: string) {} // Use: journal()
function getUserData(id: string) {} // Use: user()
function processFileContent(path) {} // Use: process()

1.2 Function Definition Patterns
Pattern A: Zod-Validated Functions (Primary Pattern)
// packages/opencode/src/util/fn.ts - The fn() wrapper
export function fn<T extends z.ZodType, Result>(schema: T, cb: (input: z.infer<T>) => Result) {
const result = (input: z.infer<T>) => {
const parsed = schema.parse(input) // Validates input
return cb(parsed)
}
result.force = (input: z.infer<T>) => cb(input) // Skip validation
result.schema = schema // Expose schema
return result
}
// Usage Example 1: Session creation
export const create = fn(
z
.object({
parentID: Identifier.schema("session").optional(),
title: z.string().optional(),
permission: Info.shape.permission,
})
.optional(),
async (input) => {
return createNext({
parentID: input?.parentID,
title: input?.title,
permission: input?.permission ?? "allow",
})
},
)
// Usage Example 2: Simple validation
export const touch = fn(Identifier.schema("session"), async (sessionID) => {
await update(sessionID, (draft) => {
draft.time.updated = Date.now()
})
})
// Usage Example 3: Complex object validation
export const messages = fn(
z.object({
sessionID: Identifier.schema("session"),
limit: z.number().optional(),
}),
async (input) => {
const result = [] as MessageV2.WithParts[]
for await (const msg of MessageV2.stream(input.sessionID)) {
if (input.limit && result.length >= input.limit) break
result.push(msg)
}
result.reverse()
return result
},
)
File References:
packages/opencode/src/util/fn.ts- Lines 1-12packages/opencode/src/session/index.ts- Lines 140-202
Pattern B: Namespace Organization (Preferred over Classes)
// packages/opencode/src/session/index.ts
export namespace Session {
const log = Log.create({ service: "session" })
// Exported functions with fn() wrapper
export const create = fn(...)
export const fork = fn(...)
export const touch = fn(...)
export const messages = fn(...)
// Async functions without wrapper
export async function createNext(input) {...}
export async function update(id, editor, options) {...}
// Type definitions
export type Info = z.infer<typeof Info>
export const Info = z.object({...})
// Events
export const Event = {
Created: BusEvent.define("session.created", z.object({info: Info})),
Updated: BusEvent.define("session.updated", z.object({info: Info})),
}
// Error classes (only exception to no-class rule)
export class BusyError extends Error {
constructor(public readonly sessionID: string) {
super(`Session ${sessionID} is busy`)
}
}
}
// Usage
await Session.create({ title: "New Session" })
await Session.touch(sessionID)
const msgs = await Session.messages({ sessionID, limit: 10 })

packages/opencode/src/session/index.ts- Lines 26-518packages/opencode/src/tool/tool.ts- Lines 1-90packages/opencode/src/session/processor.ts- Lines 19-416
Pattern C: Inline vs. Extraction Rule
Rule: Inline when used once, extract when composable/reusable
// ✅ GOOD - Inline when value used once
const journal = await Bun.file(path.join(dir, "journal.json")).json()
const [language, cfg] = await Promise.all([Provider.getLanguage(input.model), Config.get()])
// ❌ BAD - Unnecessary intermediate variable
const journalPath = path.join(dir, "journal.json")
const journalFile = Bun.file(journalPath)
const journal = await journalFile.json()
// ✅ GOOD - Extract when reusable across multiple call sites
async function resolveTools(input: Pick<StreamInput, "tools" | "agent" | "user">) {
const disabled = PermissionNext.disabled(Object.keys(input.tools), input.agent.permission)
for (const tool of Object.keys(input.tools)) {
if (input.user.tools?.[tool] === false || disabled.has(tool)) {
delete input.tools[tool]
}
}
return input.tools
}
// Called from multiple locations
const tools = await resolveTools({ tools: input.tools, agent, user })
// ✅ GOOD - Extract when logic is complex and improves readability
function shouldUseCopilotResponsesApi(modelID: string): boolean {
const match = /^gpt-(\d+)/.exec(modelID)
if (!match) return false
return Number(match[1]) >= 5 && !modelID.startsWith("gpt-5-mini")
}
File References:
packages/opencode/src/session/llm.ts- Lines 59, 268-276packages/opencode/src/provider/provider.ts- Lines 46-56
1.3 Function Composition Patterns
// ✅ GOOD - Functional composition with pipes
const filtered = agents
.filter((a) => a.mode !== "primary")
.filter((a) => PermissionNext.evaluate("task", a.name, caller.permission).action !== "deny")
.map((a) => a.name)
// ✅ GOOD - Async composition with Promise.all
const [results, metadata] = await Promise.all([processItems(items), fetchMetadata(id)])
// ✅ GOOD - Higher-order functions
export function withLock<T>(filepath: string, fn: () => Promise<T>): Promise<T> {
return Lock.write(filepath).then(async (lock) => {
try {
return await fn()
} finally {
lock[Symbol.dispose]()
}
})
}
2. Class Usage Standards
2.1 Avoid Classes (Except Specific Patterns)
Finding: Only 5 classes in 206 files
Rule: Use namespaces + functions instead of classes
// ❌ AVOID - Class-based organization
class SessionManager {
private sessions: Map<string, Session> = new Map()
create(input: CreateInput) {
const session = { id: generateId(), ...input }
this.sessions.set(session.id, session)
return session
}
update(id: string, data: Partial<Session>) {
const session = this.sessions.get(id)
if (!session) throw new Error("Not found")
Object.assign(session, data)
return session
}
}
// ✅ PREFER - Namespace-based organization
export namespace Session {
const state = Instance.state(async () => ({
sessions: new Map<string, Info>()
}))
export const create = fn(
CreateInput.schema,
async (input) => {
const session = { id: Identifier.ascending("session"), ...input }
state().sessions.set(session.id, session)
return session
}
)
export const update = fn(
z.object({ id: z.string(), data: z.record(z.unknown()) }),
async (input) => {
const session = state().sessions.get(input.id)
if (!session) throw NotFoundError.create({...})
Object.assign(session, input.data)
return session
}
)
}
2.2 Allowed Class Use Cases
Use Case 1: Error Types
// ✅ GOOD - Custom error classes
export class BusyError extends Error {
constructor(public readonly sessionID: string) {
super(`Session ${sessionID} is busy`)
}
}
// Usage
throw new BusyError(sessionID)
// Catching
try {
await operation()
} catch (error) {
if (error instanceof BusyError) {
// Handle busy state
}
}
File Reference: packages/opencode/src/session/index.ts:494
Use Case 2: Protocol Implementations
// ✅ GOOD - Implementing external interfaces
export class OpenAICompatibleChatLanguageModel implements LanguageModelV2 {
readonly specificationVersion = "v2"
readonly provider: string
readonly modelId: string
constructor(modelId: string, settings: ModelSettings) {
this.modelId = modelId
this.provider = settings.provider
}
async doGenerate(options: GenerateOptions): Promise<GenerateResult> {
// Implementation required by interface
}
async doStream(options: StreamOptions): AsyncIterableIterator<StreamPart> {
// Implementation required by interface
}
}
// ✅ GOOD - OAuth protocol implementation
export class McpOAuthProvider implements OAuthClientProvider {
async getAccessToken(): Promise<string> {
// OAuth flow implementation
}
}
File References:
packages/opencode/src/provider/sdk/*- Lines 53, 131packages/opencode/src/mcp/oauth-provider.ts:26
Use Case 3: Async Iterators
// ✅ GOOD - AsyncIterable implementation
export class AsyncQueue<T> implements AsyncIterable<T> {
private queue: T[] = []
private resolvers: ((value: T) => void)[] = []
push(item: T) {
const resolve = this.resolvers.shift()
if (resolve) {
resolve(item)
} else {
this.queue.push(item)
}
}
async next(): Promise<T> {
if (this.queue.length > 0) {
return this.queue.shift()!
}
return new Promise((resolve) => {
this.resolvers.push(resolve)
})
}
async *[Symbol.asyncIterator]() {
while (true) {
yield await this.next()
}
}
}
// Usage
const queue = new AsyncQueue<Message>()
queue.push(message)
for await (const msg of queue) {
console.log(msg)
}
File Reference: packages/opencode/src/util/queue.ts:1-19
Use Case 4: Complex Stateful Managers
// ✅ ACCEPTABLE - When managing complex state machines
export class ACPSessionManager {
private sessions: Map<string, ACPSession>
private connections: Map<string, WebSocket>
// Complex lifecycle management
async createSession(id: string) {...}
async handleMessage(id: string, msg: Message) {...}
async closeSession(id: string) {...}
// State machine logic
private transition(from: State, to: State) {...}
}
File Reference: packages/opencode/src/acp/session.ts:8
3. Array Handling Standards
3.1 Functional Methods (85% of operations)
Rule: Prefer map/filter/flatMap over for-loops
// ✅ GOOD - Functional chain with type inference
const files = messages
.flatMap((x) => x.parts)
.filter((x): x is Patch => x.type === "patch") // Type guard maintains inference
.flatMap((x) => x.files)
.map((x) => path.relative(Instance.worktree, x))
// ✅ GOOD - Parallel async operations
const results = await Promise.all(
toolCalls.map(async (call) => {
return executeCall(call)
}),
)
// ✅ GOOD - Reduce for aggregation
const totalAdditions = diffs.reduce((sum, x) => sum + x.additions, 0)
// ✅ GOOD - Filter with type guards
const agents = await Agent.list().then((x) => x.filter((a): a is Agent & { mode: "secondary" } => a.mode !== "primary"))
// ✅ GOOD - Unique values
const uniqueNames = Array.from(new Set(items.map((x) => x.name)))
// ✅ GOOD - Sorting
const sorted = items.toSorted((a, b) => a.timestamp - b.timestamp)
File References:
packages/opencode/src/tool/batch.ts- Lines 41, 56, 80, 170packages/opencode/src/session/prompt.ts- Lines 192-200packages/opencode/src/session/summary.ts- Lines 96-109
3.2 For-Loops (15%, only when necessary)
Rule: Use for-loops only for:
- Algorithm complexity (DP, graph traversal)
- Early exit requirements
- Sequential side effects
- Performance-critical iteration
Pattern 1: Algorithm Complexity
// ✅ GOOD - Dynamic programming (LCS algorithm)
// packages/opencode/src/tool/edit.ts:175-176
function lcs(a: string[], b: string[]): number[][] {
const dp: number[][] = Array(a.length + 1)
.fill(0)
.map(() => Array(b.length + 1).fill(0))
for (let i = 1; i <= a.length; i++) {
for (let j = 1; j <= b.length; j++) {
if (a[i - 1] === b[j - 1]) {
dp[i][j] = dp[i - 1][j - 1] + 1
} else {
dp[i][j] = Math.max(dp[i - 1][j], dp[i][j - 1])
}
}
}
return dp
}
Pattern 2: Early Exit
// ✅ GOOD - Break on condition
// packages/opencode/src/session/revert.ts:31-40
const patches = []
for (const msg of all) {
if (msg.info.id === revert.messageID) break
for (const part of msg.parts) {
if (part.type === "patch") {
patches.push(part)
}
}
}
// ✅ GOOD - Find first match
for (const file of files) {
if (await Filesystem.exists(file)) {
return file
}
}
Pattern 3: Sequential Side Effects
// ✅ GOOD - Sequential mutations
for (const key of Object.keys(input.tools)) {
if (input.user.tools?.[key] === false || disabled.has(key)) {
delete input.tools[key]
}
}
// ✅ GOOD - Streaming output
for (const line of lines) {
await stream.write(line)
}
File Reference: packages/opencode/src/tool/grep.ts:77
Pattern 4: Performance Critical
// ✅ GOOD - Low-level iteration for performance
for (let i = 0; i < buffer.length; i++) {
result += buffer[i] * multiplier
}
// Note: Profile before optimizing - functional methods are often fast enough
3.3 Type Guards on Filter
Rule: Use type guards to maintain type inference downstream
// ✅ GOOD - Type guard preserves type information
const patches = messages.flatMap((msg) => msg.parts).filter((part): part is PatchPart => part.type === "patch")
// patches is now PatchPart[], not Part[]
// ❌ BAD - Loses type information
const patches = messages.flatMap((msg) => msg.parts).filter((part) => part.type === "patch")
// patches is still Part[], requires casting later
// ✅ GOOD - Multiple type guards
const validAgents = agents
.filter((a): a is Agent => a !== undefined)
.filter((a): a is Agent & { mode: "secondary" } => a.mode !== "primary")
File Reference: packages/opencode/src/tool/task.ts:24,29
4. Variable & Destructuring Standards
4.1 Variable Declaration
Rule: Prefer const over let
// ✅ GOOD - Immutable with ternary
const foo = condition ? 1 : 2
const result = await (isValid ? processValid() : processInvalid())
// ❌ BAD - Reassignment
let foo
if (condition) {
foo = 1
} else {
foo = 2
}
// ✅ GOOD - Early return instead of reassignment
function getValue(condition: boolean) {
if (condition) return 1
return 2
}
// ✅ ACCEPTABLE - let when mutation is necessary
let accumulator = 0
for (const item of items) {
accumulator += item.value
}
File Reference: AGENTS.md:56-68
4.2 Destructuring
Rule: Avoid unnecessary destructuring, preserve context with dot notation
// ✅ GOOD - Preserve context
function process(session: Session) {
log.info("processing", { id: session.id, title: session.title })
return {
id: session.id,
status: session.status,
owner: session.owner
}
}
// ❌ BAD - Loses context, harder to read
function process(session: Session) {
const { id, title, status, owner } = session
log.info("processing", { id, title })
return { id, status, owner }
}
// ✅ ACCEPTABLE - Destructuring when improving readability
function renderUser({ name, email, avatar }: User) {
return `<div>${name} (${email})</div>`
}
// ✅ ACCEPTABLE - Destructuring array returns
const [language, cfg, provider] = await Promise.all([...])
File Reference: AGENTS.md:43-54
4.3 Variable Naming
Rule: Concise single-word names when descriptive
// ✅ GOOD
const session = await Session.get(id)
const user = await Auth.current()
const messages = await Session.messages({ sessionID })
// ❌ BAD - Unnecessary verbosity
const currentSession = await Session.get(id)
const currentlyAuthenticatedUser = await Auth.current()
const sessionMessagesList = await Session.messages({ sessionID })
// ✅ GOOD - Multi-word when single word is ambiguous
const sessionID = params.id
const userAgent = req.headers["user-agent"]
const maxRetries = config.retries
5. Control Flow Standards
5.1 Early Returns
Rule: Avoid else statements, use early returns
// ✅ GOOD - Early returns
function getStatus(session: Session) {
if (!session) return "not_found"
if (session.busy) return "busy"
if (session.error) return "error"
return "ready"
}
async function process(id: string) {
const session = await Session.get(id)
if (!session) return { error: "Not found" }
const result = await execute(session)
if (!result.success) return { error: result.message }
return { data: result.data }
}
// ❌ BAD - Else statements
function getStatus(session: Session) {
if (!session) {
return "not_found"
} else {
if (session.busy) {
return "busy"
} else {
if (session.error) {
return "error"
} else {
return "ready"
}
}
}
}
File Reference: AGENTS.md:70-86
5.2 Guard Clauses
// ✅ GOOD - Guard clauses at function start
async function updateSession(id: string, data: UpdateData) {
if (!id) throw new Error("ID required")
if (!data) throw new Error("Data required")
if (data.title && data.title.length > 100) throw new Error("Title too long")
// Main logic here
const session = await Session.get(id)
await Session.update(id, data)
return session
}
5.3 Switch Statements
Rule: Use exhaustive switch with default case
// ✅ GOOD - Exhaustive switch for stream handling
for await (const value of stream.fullStream) {
switch (value.type) {
case "reasoning-start":
reasoningMap[value.id] = { id: generateId(), type: "reasoning", text: "" }
break
case "reasoning-delta":
if (value.id in reasoningMap) {
reasoningMap[value.id].text += value.text
await Session.updatePart({ delta: value.text })
}
break
case "tool-call":
await Session.updatePart({ state: { status: "running" } })
break
case "tool-result":
await Session.updatePart({ state: { status: "completed" } })
break
default:
const _exhaustive: never = value
throw new Error(`Unhandled type: ${(value as any).type}`)
}
}
File Reference: packages/opencode/src/session/processor.ts:53-346
6. Async & Concurrency Standards
6.1 Parallel Execution (Default Pattern)
Rule: Use Promise.all for independent operations
// ✅ GOOD - Parallel independent operations
const [language, cfg, provider, auth] = await Promise.all([
Provider.getLanguage(input.model),
Config.get(),
Provider.getProvider(input.model.providerID),
Auth.get(input.model.providerID),
])
// ✅ GOOD - Parallel array processing
const results = await Promise.all(
items.map(async (item) => {
return processItem(item)
}),
)
// ❌ BAD - Sequential when independent
const language = await Provider.getLanguage(input.model)
const cfg = await Config.get() // Could run in parallel!
const provider = await Provider.getProvider(input.model.providerID)
const auth = await Auth.get(input.model.providerID)
File Reference: packages/opencode/src/session/llm.ts:59
6.2 Sequential Operations
Rule: Chain when operations depend on previous results
// ✅ GOOD - Sequential dependency chain
const session = await Session.create({ title: "New" })
const message = await Session.addMessage(session.id, { content: "Hello" })
const response = await LLM.stream({ sessionID: session.id, messageID: message.id })
// ✅ GOOD - Promise chain for clarity
const result = await Session.create({ title: "New" })
.then((session) => Session.addMessage(session.id, { content: "Hello" }))
.then((message) => LLM.stream({ messageID: message.id }))
6.3 Error Handling in Async
Rule: Prefer .catch() over try/catch when possible
// ✅ GOOD - Catch at call site
const result = await operation().catch((error) => {
log.error("Operation failed", { error })
return defaultValue
})
// ✅ GOOD - Promise.all with error handling
const results = await Promise.all(
items.map(async (item) => {
return processItem(item).catch((error) => {
log.error("Item failed", { item, error })
return null
})
}),
)
// ✅ ACCEPTABLE - try/catch for multiple operations
try {
const session = await Session.create(input)
await Session.addMessage(session.id, message)
await EventBus.publish(Session.Event.Created, { session })
return session
} catch (error) {
log.error("Session creation failed", { error })
throw error
}
// ❌ AVOID - try/catch for single operation
try {
const result = await operation()
return result
} catch (error) {
log.error(error)
throw error
}
// Better:
const result = await operation().catch((error) => {
log.error(error)
throw error
})
6.4 Concurrent Worker Pattern
// ✅ GOOD - Controlled concurrency
export async function work<T>(concurrency: number, items: T[], fn: (item: T) => Promise<void>) {
const pending = [...items]
await Promise.all(
Array.from({ length: concurrency }, async () => {
while (true) {
const item = pending.pop()
if (item === undefined) return
await fn(item)
}
}),
)
}
// Usage
await work(3, files, async (file) => {
await processFile(file)
})
File Reference: packages/opencode/src/util/queue.ts:21-32
7. Race Condition Prevention
7.1 Reader-Writer Lock (Storage Operations)
// packages/opencode/src/util/lock.ts
export namespace Lock {
const locks = new Map<
string,
{
readers: number
writer: boolean
waitingReaders: (() => void)[]
waitingWriters: (() => void)[]
}
>()
export async function read(key: string): Promise<Disposable> {
const lock = get(key)
return new Promise((resolve) => {
// Writers get priority
if (!lock.writer && lock.waitingWriters.length === 0) {
lock.readers++
resolve({
[Symbol.dispose]: () => {
lock.readers--
process(key)
},
})
} else {
lock.waitingReaders.push(() => {
lock.readers++
resolve({
[Symbol.dispose]: () => {
lock.readers--
process(key)
},
})
})
}
})
}
export async function write(key: string): Promise<Disposable> {
const lock = get(key)
return new Promise((resolve) => {
if (!lock.writer && lock.readers === 0) {
lock.writer = true
resolve({
[Symbol.dispose]: () => {
lock.writer = false
process(key)
},
})
} else {
lock.waitingWriters.push(() => {
lock.writer = true
resolve({
[Symbol.dispose]: () => {
lock.writer = false
process(key)
},
})
})
}
})
}
}
// Usage with disposable pattern
export async function read<T>(target: string): Promise<T> {
using _ = await Lock.read(target) // Auto-releases on scope exit
const file = Bun.file(target)
if (!(await file.exists())) {
throw NotFoundError.create({ message: `File not found: ${target}` })
}
return file.json()
}
export async function write(target: string, data: any): Promise<void> {
using _ = await Lock.write(target) // Auto-releases on scope exit
const dir = path.dirname(target)
await fs.mkdir(dir, { recursive: true })
await Bun.write(target, JSON.stringify(data, null, 2))
}

7.2 File-Level Lock (Edit Operations)
// packages/opencode/src/file/time.ts
export async function withLock<T>(filepath: string, fn: () => Promise<T>): Promise<T> {
const current = state()
const currentLock = current.locks.get(filepath) ?? Promise.resolve()
let release: () => void = () => {}
const nextLock = new Promise<void>((resolve) => {

})
const chained = currentLock.then(() => nextLock)
current.locks.set(filepath, chained)
await currentLock // Wait for previous lock
try {
return await fn()
} finally {
release()
if (current.locks.get(filepath) === chained) {
current.locks.delete(filepath)
}
}
}
// Usage: Atomic read-modify-write
await FileTime.withLock(filePath, async () => {
const contentOld = await Bun.file(filePath).text()
const contentNew = replace(contentOld, params.oldString, params.newString)
await Bun.write(filePath, contentNew)
await FileTime.touch(filePath)
})
File References:
packages/opencode/src/file/time.ts- Lines 35-53packages/opencode/src/tool/edit.ts- Line 50
7.3 Mutex Pattern
// ✅ GOOD - Simple mutex for critical sections
const mutexes = new Map<string, Promise<void>>()
async function withMutex<T>(key: string, fn: () => Promise<T>): Promise<T> {
const current = mutexes.get(key) ?? Promise.resolve()
let release: () => void
const next = new Promise<void>((resolve) => {
release = resolve
})
mutexes.set(key, next)
await current
try {
return await fn()
} finally {
release!()
if (mutexes.get(key) === next) {
mutexes.delete(key)
}
}
}
// Usage
await withMutex(`session:${sessionID}`, async () => {
// Critical section - only one execution at a time
const session = await Session.get(sessionID)
session.busy = true
await Session.save(session)
})
7.4 Debouncing & Throttling
// ✅ GOOD - Debounce for file watching
function debounce<T extends (...args: any[]) => any>(fn: T, delay: number): (...args: Parameters<T>) => void {
let timer: Timer | undefined
return (...args: Parameters<T>) => {
if (timer) clearTimeout(timer)
timer = setTimeout(() => {
fn(...args)
timer = undefined
}, delay)
}
}
// Usage in file watcher
const debouncedUpdate = debounce((file: string) => {
Bus.publish(FileWatcher.Event.Updated, { file })
}, 100)
watcher.on("change", (file) => {
debouncedUpdate(file)
})
8. AI System Integration Standards

10.2 State Initialization Pattern
// ✅ GOOD - Lazy initialization with disposal
const state = Instance.state(
async () => {
log.info("initializing LSP clients")
const cfg = await Config.get()
const servers: Record<string, LSPServer.Info> = {}
const clients: LSPClient.Info[] = []
// Initialize servers
for (const [id, server] of Object.entries(LSPServer)) {
if (cfg.lsp?.[id]?.enabled !== false) {
servers[id] = server
}
}
return {
servers,
clients,
broken: new Set<string>(),
spawning: new Map<string, Promise<LSPClient.Info | undefined>>(),
}
},
async (state) => {
log.info("disposing LSP clients")
// Cleanup all clients
await Promise.all(
state.clients.map(async (client) => {
try {
await client.shutdown()
} catch (error) {
log.error("failed to shutdown client", { client: client.id, error })
}
}),
)
},
)
// Access state
const lspState = state()
lspState.clients.push(newClient)
10.3 Global State (Rare)
Rule: Avoid global state, use per-instance state instead
// ❌ AVOID - Global mutable state
const sessions = new Map<string, Session>()
export function addSession(session: Session) {
sessions.set(session.id, session)
}
// ✅ PREFER - Per-instance state
const state = Instance.state(async () => ({
sessions: new Map<string, Session>(),
}))
export function addSession(session: Session) {
state().sessions.set(session.id, session)
}
// ✅ ACCEPTABLE - Truly global state (user config, auth tokens)
export namespace Global {
export namespace Path {
export const home = os.homedir()
export const config = path.join(home, ".config", "opencode")
export const data = path.join(home, ".local", "share", "opencode")
export const cache = path.join(home, ".cache", "opencode")
}
}
11. Event Bus Standards
11.1 Event Definition
// packages/opencode/src/bus/event.ts
export namespace BusEvent {
export interface Definition<Properties extends z.ZodType = any> {
type: string
properties: Properties
}
export function define<Properties extends z.ZodType>(type: string, properties: Properties): Definition<Properties> {
return { type, properties }
}
}
// Usage: Define events for a service
export namespace Session {
export const Event = {
Created: BusEvent.define("session.created", z.object({ info: Info })),
Updated: BusEvent.define("session.updated", z.object({ info: Info, changes: z.record(z.unknown()) })),
Deleted: BusEvent.define("session.deleted", z.object({ id: z.string() })),
Diff: BusEvent.define(
"session.diff",
z.object({
sessionID: z.string(),

file: z.string(),
additions: z.number(),
deletions: z.number(),
}),
}),
),
Error: BusEvent.define(
"session.error",
z.object({
sessionID: z.string(),
error: z.object({
message: z.string(),
code: z.string().optional(),
}),
}),
),
Question: BusEvent.define(
"session.question",
z.object({
sessionID: z.string(),
question: z.object({
type: z.string(),
message: z.string(),
options: z.array(z.unknown()),
}),
respond: z.function(),
}),
),
}
}
11.2 Publishing Events
// packages/opencode/src/bus/index.ts
export namespace Bus {
const state = Instance.state(async () => ({
subscriptions: new Map<string, Set<Handler>>(),
}))
type Handler = (payload: EventPayload) => void | Promise<void>
interface EventPayload {
type: string
properties: any
}
export async function publish<Definition extends BusEvent.Definition>(
def: Definition,
properties: z.output<Definition["properties"]>,
): Promise<void> {
const payload: EventPayload = {
type: def.type,
properties,
}
const pending: Promise<void>[] = []
// Notify specific subscribers
const specific = state().subscriptions.get(def.type)
if (specific) {
for (const handler of specific) {
pending.push(Promise.resolve(handler(payload)))
}
}
// Notify wildcard subscribers
const wildcard = state().subscriptions.get("*")
if (wildcard) {
for (const handler of wildcard) {
pending.push(Promise.resolve(handler(payload)))
}
}
// Also publish to global bus (for cross-instance communication)
GlobalBus.emit("event", {
directory: Instance.directory,
payload,
})
await Promise.all(pending)
}
}
// Usage: Publish an event
await Bus.publish(Session.Event.Created, {
info: {
id: "session-123",
title: "New Session",
created: Date.now(),
},
})
await Bus.publish(Session.Event.Updated, {
info: updatedSession,
changes: { title: "Updated Title" },
})
File Reference: packages/opencode/src/bus/index.ts:41-64
11.3 Subscribing to Events
// packages/opencode/src/bus/index.ts
export namespace Bus {
export function subscribe<Definition extends BusEvent.Definition>(
def: Definition | "*",
handler: (payload: { type: string; properties: z.output<Definition["properties"]> }) => void | Promise<void>,
): Disposable {
const key = typeof def === "string" ? def : def.type
let subs = state().subscriptions.get(key)
if (!subs) {
subs = new Set()
state().subscriptions.set(key, subs)
}
subs.add(handler)
return {
[Symbol.dispose]: () => {
subs?.delete(handler)
if (subs?.size === 0) {
state().subscriptions.delete(key)
}
},
}
}
}
// Usage: Subscribe to specific events
const subscription = Bus.subscribe(Session.Event.Created, async (event) => {
log.info("session created", { id: event.properties.info.id })
await notifyUser(`New session: ${event.properties.info.title}`)
})
// Unsubscribe
subscription[Symbol.dispose]()
// Or use disposable pattern
{
using sub = Bus.subscribe(Session.Event.Updated, handleUpdate)
// Automatically unsubscribes when scope exits
}
// Subscribe to all events
Bus.subscribe("*", (event) => {
log.debug("event", { type: event.type, properties: event.properties })
})
11.4 Event-Driven Communication Pattern
// Service A: Publish events
export namespace FileWatcher {
export const Event = {
Updated: BusEvent.define(
"file.updated",
z.object({
file: z.string(),
event: z.enum(["add", "change", "unlink"]),
}),
),
}
async function watch(directory: string) {
const watcher = chokidar.watch(directory)
watcher.on("change", async (file) => {
await Bus.publish(Event.Updated, {
file,
event: "change",
})
})
}
}
// Service B: React to events
export namespace LSP {
export async function initialize() {
// Subscribe to file changes
Bus.subscribe(FileWatcher.Event.Updated, async (event) => {
if (event.properties.event === "change") {
await notifyClientsOfChange(event.properties.file)
}
})
}
async function notifyClientsOfChange(file: string) {
const clients = state().clients.filter((c) => c.watchesFile(file))
await Promise.all(clients.map((c) => c.didChangeTextDocument({ uri: file })))
}
}
// Service C: Also react to same events
export namespace Session {
export async function initialize() {
Bus.subscribe(FileWatcher.Event.Updated, async (event) => {
// Invalidate cached file contents
await invalidateFileCache(event.properties.file)
})
}
}

13.2 Storage Paths

}
// Session storage

}
File Reference: packages/opencode/src/storage/storage.ts:24-100
14. Error Handling Standards
14.1 Named Errors (Preferred)
// packages/opencode/src/util/error.ts
import { NamedError } from "@opencode-ai/util/error"
import z from "zod"
// Define typed errors
export const NotFoundError = NamedError.create(
"NotFoundError",
z.object({
message: z.string(),
resource: z.string().optional(),
id: z.string().optional(),
}),
)
export const ValidationError = NamedError.create(
"ValidationError",
z.object({
message: z.string(),
field: z.string().optional(),
expected: z.string().optional(),
received: z.string().optional(),
}),
)
export const PermissionError = NamedError.create(
"PermissionError",
z.object({
message: z.string(),
action: z.string(),
resource: z.string(),
}),
)
// Usage: Throw typed error
throw NotFoundError.create({
message: "Session not found",
resource: "session",
id: sessionID,
})
// Usage: Catch and check type
try {
await operation()
} catch (error) {
if (NotFoundError.is(error)) {
log.warn("resource not found", {
resource: error.data.resource,
id: error.data.id,
})
return null
}
if (PermissionError.is(error)) {
log.error("permission denied", {
action: error.data.action,
resource: error.data.resource,
})
throw error
}
// Unknown error
log.error("unexpected error", { error })
throw error
}
File Reference: packages/opencode/src/storage/storage.ts:17-22
14.2 Custom Error Classes (When Needed)
// ✅ GOOD - Error with additional context
export class BusyError extends Error {
constructor(public readonly sessionID: string) {
super(`Session ${sessionID} is busy`)
this.name = "BusyError"
}
}
// Usage
throw new BusyError(sessionID)
// Catching
try {
await process(sessionID)
} catch (error) {
if (error instanceof BusyError) {
log.info("session busy, retrying", { sessionID: error.sessionID })
await retry()
}
}
File Reference: packages/opencode/src/session/index.ts:494
14.3 Result Pattern (for Tools)
// ✅ GOOD - Never throw in tool execution
export const ReadTool = Tool.define("read", {
async execute(args, context) {
try {
const content = await Bun.file(args.filePath).text()
return {
output: content,
title: `Read ${path.basename(args.filePath)}`,
}
} catch (error) {
return {
output: `Error reading file: ${error.message}`,
title: "Read Failed",
metadata: {
error: true,
message: error.message,
},
}
}
},
})
// ✅ GOOD - Result type for fallible operations
export type Result<T, E = Error> = { success: true; value: T } | { success: false; error: E }
export async function operation(): Promise<Result<Data>> {
try {
const data = await fetchData()
return { success: true, value: data }
} catch (error) {
return { success: false, error }
}
}
// Usage
const result = await operation()
if (result.success) {
console.log(result.value)
} else {
log.error("operation failed", { error: result.error })
}
14.4 Error Context
// ✅ GOOD - Rich error context
class OperationError extends Error {
constructor(
message: string,
public readonly context: {
operation: string
input: unknown
timestamp: number
sessionID?: string
}
) {
super(message)
this.name = "OperationError"
}
}
// Usage
try {
await processData(input)
} catch (error) {
throw new OperationError(
"Failed to process data",
{
operation: "processData",
input,
timestamp: Date.now(),
sessionID: context.sessionID
}
)
}
// Logging with context
catch (error) {
if (error instanceof OperationError) {
log.error("operation failed", {
operation: error.context.operation,
sessionID: error.context.sessionID,
error: error.message
})
}
}
15. Type System Standards
15.1 Zod Schemas (Primary)
Rule: Use Zod for runtime validation, derive TypeScript types from schemas
// ✅ GOOD - Schema-first approach
export namespace Session {
export const Info = z.object({
id: z.string(),
title: z.string(),
projectID: z.string(),
modelID: z.string().optional(),
permission: z.enum(["allow", "ask", "deny"]),
time: z.object({
created: z.number(),
updated: z.number(),
}),
})
// Derive TypeScript type from schema
export type Info = z.infer<typeof Info>
// Use in functions
export const create = fn(Info.pick({ title: true, projectID: true }).partial(), async (input): Promise<Info> => {
// Implementation
})
}
// ❌ BAD - Type-first approach (no runtime validation)
export interface SessionInfo {
id: string
title: string
projectID: string
}
export function create(input: Partial<SessionInfo>): SessionInfo {
// No validation! Runtime errors possible
}
15.2 Type Inference
Rule: Rely on type inference, avoid explicit annotations
// ✅ GOOD - Let TypeScript infer
const session = await Session.create({ title: "New" })
const messages = session.messages.filter((m) => m.role === "user")
const ids = messages.map((m) => m.id)
// ❌ BAD - Unnecessary annotations
const session: Session.Info = await Session.create({ title: "New" })
const messages: Message[] = session.messages.filter((m) => m.role === "user")
const ids: string[] = messages.map((m) => m.id)
// ✅ ACCEPTABLE - Annotation for clarity in complex scenarios
const messages: Message[] = await fetchMessages().then((msgs): Message[] => {
return msgs.filter((m) => m.deleted !== true)
})
File Reference: AGENTS.md:15
15.3 Avoid any
// ❌ BAD
function process(data: any) {
return data.value.toString()
}
// ✅ GOOD - Use unknown and validate
function process(data: unknown) {
if (typeof data !== "object" || data === null) {
throw new Error("Expected object")
}
if (!("value" in data)) {
throw new Error("Missing value property")
}
return String(data.value)
}
// ✅ BEST - Use Zod schema
const DataSchema = z.object({
value: z.union([z.string(), z.number()]),
})
function process(data: unknown) {
const validated = DataSchema.parse(data)
return String(validated.value)
}
File Reference: AGENTS.md:12
15.4 Type Guards
// ✅ GOOD - Type guards for narrowing
function isMessage(value: unknown): value is Message {
return typeof value === "object" && value !== null && "id" in value && "role" in value && typeof value.id === "string"
}
// Usage
if (isMessage(data)) {
console.log(data.id) // TypeScript knows data is Message
}
// ✅ GOOD - Type guards in filter
const messages = items.filter((item): item is Message => isMessage(item)).map((msg) => msg.id)
// ✅ GOOD - Discriminated unions
type Part =
| { type: "text"; text: string }
| { type: "file"; data: Buffer; mimeType: string }
| { type: "patch"; files: string[]; diff: string }
function handle(part: Part) {
switch (part.type) {
case "text":
console.log(part.text) // TypeScript knows: text part
break
case "file":
console.log(part.mimeType) // TypeScript knows: file part
break
case "patch":
console.log(part.files) // TypeScript knows: patch part
break
default:
const _exhaustive: never = part
throw new Error("Unhandled part type")
}
}
16. Import Organization Standards
16.1 Import Order
// 1. Zod and validation libraries
import z from "zod"
// 2. Node.js built-ins
import path from "path"
import fs from "fs/promises"
import os from "os"
// 3. External packages (alphabetical)
import { mergeDeep, sortBy, unique } from "remeda"
import chokidar from "chokidar"
import fuzzysort from "fuzzysort"
// 4. Internal packages (@opencode-ai/*)
import { NamedError } from "@opencode-ai/util/error"
// 5. Project utilities (../util/*)
import { Log } from "../util/log"
import { Lock } from "../util/lock"

import { MessageV2 } from "./message-v2"
16.2 Import Style
// ✅ GOOD - Named imports
import { create, update, get } from "./session"
import { Log, type LogOptions } from "./util/log"
// ❌ AVOID - Default imports (except for external packages)
import session from "./session"
// ✅ GOOD - Namespace imports for large APIs
import * as Session from "./session"
// ✅ GOOD - Type-only imports
import type { Session } from "./session"
import { type Config, loadConfig } from "./config"
16.3 Circular Dependency Prevention
// ❌ BAD - Circular dependency
// file-a.ts
import { funcB } from "./file-b"
export function funcA() {
return funcB()
}
// file-b.ts
import { funcA } from "./file-a"
export function funcB() {
return funcA()
}
// ✅ GOOD - Extract shared code
// shared.ts
export function shared() {
return 42
}
// file-a.ts
import { shared } from "./shared"
export function funcA() {
return shared()
}
// file-b.ts
import { shared } from "./shared"
export function funcB() {
return shared()
}
17. Naming Conventions
17.1 Functions & Variables
// ✅ camelCase for functions and variables
const sessionID = "abc123"
const userAgent = "opencode/1.0"
const maxRetries = 3
async function processMessage(messageID: string) {}
async function createSession() {}
17.2 Types & Interfaces
// ✅ PascalCase for types, interfaces, and classes
type SessionInfo = {
id: string
title: string
}
interface Message {
id: string
content: string
}
class BusyError extends Error {}
namespace Session {
export type Info = z.infer<typeof Info>
}
17.3 Constants
// ✅ SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE for true constants
const MAX_RETRY_ATTEMPTS = 3
const DEFAULT_TIMEOUT = 5000
const API_BASE_URL = "https://api.example.com"
// ✅ camelCase for configuration values
const maxRetries = config.retries ?? 3
const defaultModel = config.model?.id ?? "gpt-4"
17.4 Namespaces
// ✅ PascalCase for namespaces
export namespace Session {}
export namespace Storage {}
export namespace FileWatcher {}
17.5 Files
// ✅ kebab-case for files
// session-manager.ts
// message-processor.ts
// file-watcher.ts
// ✅ Single word when possible
// session.ts
// storage.ts
// config.ts
18. Testing Standards
18.1 Principles
- Avoid mocks - Test actual implementation
- No logic duplication - Don't reimplement logic in tests
- Use Bun test runner -
bun test
File Reference: AGENTS.md:108-111
18.2 Test Structure
// packages/opencode/src/addons/serialize.test.ts
import { expect, test, describe } from "bun:test"
import { serialize, deserialize } from "./serialize"
describe("serialize", () => {
test("preserves Date objects", () => {
const input = { date: new Date("2024-01-01") }
const serialized = serialize(input)
const deserialized = deserialize(serialized)
expect(deserialized.date).toBeInstanceOf(Date)
expect(deserialized.date.toISOString()).toBe("2024-01-01T00:00:00.000Z")
})
test("preserves Set objects", () => {
const input = { set: new Set([1, 2, 3]) }
const serialized = serialize(input)
const deserialized = deserialize(serialized)
expect(deserialized.set).toBeInstanceOf(Set)
expect(Array.from(deserialized.set)).toEqual([1, 2, 3])
})
test("handles nested structures", () => {
const input = {
map: new Map([["key", { date: new Date("2024-01-01") }]]),
array: [new Set([1, 2])],
}
const serialized = serialize(input)
const deserialized = deserialize(serialized)
expect(deserialized.map).toBeInstanceOf(Map)
expect(deserialized.map.get("key")?.date).toBeInstanceOf(Date)
expect(deserialized.array[0]).toBeInstanceOf(Set)
})
})
File Reference: packages/opencode/src/addons/serialize.test.ts
18.3 Test Commands
# Run all tests
bun test
# Run specific test file
bun test src/util/queue.test.ts
# Run tests matching pattern
bun test --test-name-pattern "serialize"
# Watch mode
bun test --watch
# Coverage
bun test --coverage
File Reference: packages/opencode/AGENTS.md - Build/Test Commands
18.4 Integration Tests
import { test, expect, beforeAll, afterAll } from "bun:test"
import { Session } from "./session"
import { Storage } from "./storage"
let sessionID: string
beforeAll(async () => {
// Setup: Create test session
const session = await Session.create({ title: "Test Session" })
sessionID = session.id
})
afterAll(async () => {
// Cleanup: Delete test session
await Session.delete(sessionID)
})
test("create and retrieve session", async () => {
const session = await Session.get(sessionID)
expect(session).toBeDefined()
expect(session.id).toBe(sessionID)
expect(session.title).toBe("Test Session")
})
test("update session", async () => {
await Session.update(sessionID, { title: "Updated" })
const session = await Session.get(sessionID)
expect(session.title).toBe("Updated")
})
19. Documentation Standards
19.1 Code Comments
Rule: Comment WHY, not WHAT
// ✅ GOOD - Explains why
// Cache header separately to enable 2-part prompt caching
if (system.length > 2 && system[0] === header) {
system.length = 0
system.push(header, rest.join("\n"))
}
// Prevent race condition: lock before checking existence
using _ = await Lock.write(filepath)
if (await Filesystem.exists(filepath)) {
await fs.rm(filepath)
}
// ❌ BAD - States the obvious
// Push the item to the array
items.push(item)
// Set the title property
session.title = "New Title"
19.2 JSDoc (For Exported APIs)
/**
* Execute a function with a file lock to prevent concurrent access.
*
* The lock is automatically released when the function completes or throws.
* Locks are queued and processed in order.
*
* @param filepath - Absolute path to the file to lock
* @param fn - Function to execute while holding the lock
* @returns The result of the function
*
* @example
* ```typescript
* await withLock("/path/to/file", async () => {
* const content = await Bun.file("/path/to/file").text()
* await Bun.write("/path/to/file", content + "\n")
* })
* ```
*/
export async function withLock<T>(filepath: string, fn: () => Promise<T>): Promise<T>

20. Schema Definition Standards
20.1 Drizzle Schema (Database)
Rule: Use snake_case for field names to match SQL conventions
// ✅ GOOD - snake_case fields
const sessionTable = sqliteTable("session", {
id: text().primaryKey(),
project_id: text().notNull(),
created_at: integer().notNull(),
updated_at: integer().notNull(),
})
// ❌ BAD - camelCase requires explicit column names
const sessionTable = sqliteTable("session", {
id: text("id").primaryKey(),
projectID: text("project_id").notNull(),
createdAt: integer("created_at").notNull(),
updatedAt: integer("updated_at").notNull(),
})
File Reference: AGENTS.md:88-106
20.2 Zod Schema
// ✅ GOOD - Consistent field naming
export const SessionInfo = z.object({
id: z.string(),
projectID: z.string(), // camelCase for TypeScript
title: z.string(),
permission: z.enum(["allow", "ask", "deny"]),
time: z.object({
created: z.number(),
updated: z.number(),
}),
})
// ✅ GOOD - Schema composition
export const CreateSessionInput = SessionInfo.pick({
title: true,
projectID: true,
}).partial()
export const UpdateSessionInput = SessionInfo.partial().required({
id: true,
})
// ✅ GOOD - Schema extension
export const SessionWithMessages = SessionInfo.extend({
messages: z.array(MessageInfo),
})
21. Dependency Management Standards
21.1 Bun Runtime Preference
Rule: Use Bun APIs when available
// ✅ GOOD - Bun APIs
const content = await Bun.file(filepath).text()
await Bun.write(filepath, content)
const json = await Bun.file(filepath).json()
const proc = Bun.spawn(["ls", "-la"], {
cwd: directory,
stdout: "pipe",
})
// ❌ AVOID - Node.js fs when Bun alternative exists
import fs from "fs/promises"
const content = await fs.readFile(filepath, "utf-8")
await fs.writeFile(filepath, content)
File Reference: AGENTS.md:14

23. Performance Standards
23.1 Lazy Initialization
// ✅ GOOD - Lazy state initialization
const state = Instance.state(async () => {
// Only initialize when first accessed
const config = await Config.get()
return { config, clients: [] }
})
// Access only when needed
if (needsClient) {
const client = state().clients[0]
}
// ✅ GOOD - Lazy loading of heavy dependencies
const lazyModule = lazy(async () => {
return import("./heavy-module")
})
// Load only when needed
const module = await lazyModule()
23.2 Caching
// ✅ GOOD - Cache expensive operations
const cache = new Map<string, Data>()
async function getData(id: string): Promise<Data> {
const cached = cache.get(id)
if (cached) return cached
const data = await fetchData(id)
cache.set(id, data)
return data
}
// ✅ GOOD - Time-based cache invalidation
const cache = new Map<string, { data: Data; expires: number }>()
async function getData(id: string): Promise<Data> {
const cached = cache.get(id)
if (cached && Date.now() < cached.expires) {
return cached.data
}
const data = await fetchData(id)
cache.set(id, {
data,
expires: Date.now() + 60_000, // 1 minute
})
return data
}
23.3 Debouncing
// ✅ GOOD - Debounce high-frequency events
function debounce<T extends (...args: any[]) => any>(fn: T, delay: number): (...args: Parameters<T>) => void {
let timer: Timer | undefined
return (...args: Parameters<T>) => {
if (timer) clearTimeout(timer)
timer = setTimeout(() => {
fn(...args)
timer = undefined
}, delay)
}
}
// Usage
const debouncedSave = debounce(async (content: string) => {
await save(content)
}, 500)
// Only saves after 500ms of inactivity
input.on("change", (content) => {
debouncedSave(content)
})
23.4 Streaming
// ✅ GOOD - Stream large responses
export async function* streamMessages(sessionID: string) {
const files = await Storage.list(Storage.path("messages", sessionID), "*.json")
for (const file of files) {
const message = await Storage.read<Message>(file)
yield message
}
}
// Usage
for await (const message of streamMessages(sessionID)) {
process(message)
}
24. Security Standards
24.1 Input Validation
// ✅ GOOD - Validate all external input
export const handleRequest = fn(
z.object({
sessionID: z.string().regex(/^session-[a-z0-9]{10}$/),
content: z.string().max(100_000),
metadata: z.record(z.unknown()).optional(),
}),
async (input) => {
// Input is validated, safe to use
return process(input)
},
)
// ✅ GOOD - Validate file paths
function validatePath(filepath: string) {
const normalized = path.normalize(filepath)
const absolute = path.resolve(normalized)
// Prevent directory traversal
if (!absolute.startsWith(Instance.worktree)) {
throw new Error("Path outside worktree")
}
return absolute
}
24.2 Permission Checks
// ✅ GOOD - Check permissions before sensitive operations
async function readFile(filepath: string, context: Context) {
// Validate path
const safe = validatePath(filepath)
// Check permission
const permission = await PermissionNext.evaluate("read", safe, context.agent.permission)
if (permission.action === "deny") {
throw PermissionError.create({
message: "Permission denied",
action: "read",
resource: safe,
})
}
if (permission.action === "ask") {
const allowed = await context.ask({
type: "permission",
message: `Read file ${path.basename(safe)}?`,
actions: ["allow", "deny"],
})
if (!allowed) {
throw PermissionError.create({
message: "User denied permission",
action: "read",
resource: safe,
})
}
}
// Permission granted, perform operation
return Bun.file(safe).text()
}
24.3 Secrets Management
// ✅ GOOD - Load secrets from environment
export namespace Auth {
export async function get(providerID: string): Promise<string | undefined> {
const key = `OPENCODE_${providerID.toUpperCase()}_API_KEY`
return process.env[key]
}
}
// ❌ AVOID - Hardcoded secrets
const API_KEY = "sk-abc123..."
// ❌ AVOID - Logging secrets
log.info("api key", { key: apiKey })
// ✅ GOOD - Redact secrets in logs
log.info("api request", { key: apiKey.slice(0, 8) + "..." })
24.4 Command Injection Prevention
// ❌ BAD - Command injection vulnerability
const output = await $`ls ${userInput}`.text()
// ✅ GOOD - Use array syntax (prevents injection)
const proc = Bun.spawn(["ls", userInput], {
stdout: "pipe",
})
const output = await new Response(proc.stdout).text()
// ✅ GOOD - Validate input
const sanitized = userInput.replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9_-]/g, "")
const proc = Bun.spawn(["ls", sanitized])
Summary: Key Principles
- Single-word function names unless multi-word necessary (95%+ adherence)
- Namespaces over classes for code organization (only 5 classes in 206 files)
- Functional array methods over for-loops (85/15 split)
- Parallel execution by default via
Promise.all - Lock mechanisms prevent race conditions (reader-writer locks, file locks)
- Per-instance state isolation for multi-project support
- Event-driven architecture via pub/sub bus
- Zod validation for all inputs via
fn()wrapper - Disposable resources with
usingkeyword for automatic cleanup - Bun runtime preference for file I/O and process spawning
- Inline values once, extract when reusable
- Named errors over throw strings
- Avoid mocks in tests, test actual implementation
- Layered config with clear precedence (7 levels)
- Graceful disposal for all stateful services
- Prefer
constoverlet- use ternaries instead of reassignment - Avoid
elsestatements - use early returns - Avoid destructuring - preserve context with dot notation
- Type inference - avoid explicit annotations unless necessary
- Avoid
anytype - useunknownwith validation - Comment WHY, not WHAT - explain reasoning, not obvious operations
- Schema-first approach - define Zod schemas, derive TS types
- Reader-writer locks for concurrent access
- System prompt caching - maintain 2-part structure for efficiency
- Context compaction at 75% token threshold
