Issue #64 Resolution: Missing Agents in v0.5.0 Install

Issue: https://github.com/darrenhinde/OpenAgents/issues/64
Status: ✅ RESOLVED
Date: 2025-12-29

---

Problem Summary

Users installing OpenAgents v0.5.0 with the developer profile were not getting the new agents (devops-specialist, frontend-specialist, backend-specialist, etc.) that were added in the release.

Root Cause

New agents were added to registry.json in the components.agents[] array, but were NOT added to the installation profiles. The install script only copies components listed in the selected profile's components array.

developer profile - Added:

• agent:frontend-specialist

full profile - Added:

• agent:eval-runner
• agent:frontend-specialist

Issue 2: Invalid Subagent Type Format ⚠️ DOCUMENTED

Problem: repo-manager.md uses incorrect subagent_type format

Error:

Unknown agent type: subagents/core/context-retriever is not a valid agent type

Root Cause: The subagent_type parameter must use the agent's registered name (e.g., "Context Retriever"), not the file path (e.g., "subagents/core/context-retriever").

Affected Files:

• .opencode/agent/meta/repo-manager.md (uses subagents/core/context-retriever)
• Potentially .opencode/agent/core/opencoder.md
• Potentially .opencode/agent/development/codebase-agent.md

Fix Required: Replace all instances of:

subagent_type="subagents/core/context-retriever"

With:

subagent_type="Context Retriever"

Status: Documented in .opencode/context/openagents-repo/guides/subagent-invocation.md

Note: Context Retriever may not be registered in OpenCode CLI yet. If delegation fails, use direct file operations (glob, grep, read) instead.

Testing Recommendations

1. Test Local Install

# Test developer profile
REGISTRY_URL="file://$(pwd)/registry.json" ./install.sh developer

# Verify new agents are installed
ls .opencode/agent/development/
# Should show: frontend-specialist.md, backend-specialist.md, devops-specialist.md, codebase-agent.md

2. Test Business Profile

# Test business profile
REGISTRY_URL="file://$(pwd)/registry.json" ./install.sh business

# Verify content agents are installed
ls .opencode/agent/content/
# Should show: copywriter.md, technical-writer.md

ls .opencode/agent/data/
# Should show: data-analyst.md

3. Test Full Profile

# Test full profile
REGISTRY_URL="file://$(pwd)/registry.json" ./install.sh full

# Verify all agents are installed
find .opencode/agent -name "*.md" -type f | wc -l
# Should show: 27 agents (including subagents)

Prevention Measures

1. Add to CI/CD Pipeline

Add profile validation to .github/workflows/validate-registry.yml:

- name: Validate Profile Coverage
  run: ./scripts/registry/validate-profile-coverage.sh

2. Pre-Commit Hook

Add to .git/hooks/pre-commit:

#!/bin/bash
./scripts/registry/validate-profile-coverage.sh || exit 1

3. Documentation Updates

Updated guides:

• guides/adding-agent.md - Add step to update profiles
• guides/updating-registry.md - Add profile validation step
• guides/profile-validation.md - New comprehensive guide
