Fix/164 permission key compatibility (#171)
* fix: migrate all agents to OpenCode v1.1.1+ permission (singular) key

Resolves #164

## Changes

### Agent Files (16 files)
- Migrated all agent frontmatter from deprecated `permissions:` (plural) to `permission:` (singular)
- Updated: core agents (OpenCoder, OpenAgent, RepoManager)
- Updated: code subagents (TestEngineer, CoderAgent, BuildAgent, CodeReviewer)
- Updated: core subagents (TaskManager, DocWriter, ExternalScout, ContextScout, ContextManager, Context Retriever)
- Updated: development subagents (DevOpsSpecialist, FrontendSpecialist)
- Updated: system-builder subagents (ContextOrganizer, WorkflowDesigner)

### Context Documentation (3 files)

#### Updated: agent-frontmatter.md
- Fixed field name from `permissions:` to `permission:`
- Updated all examples to use correct singular form
- Corrected "Wrong Field Names" section to show `permissions:` as deprecated
- Updated validation checklist and valid keys list

#### Updated: agent-metadata.md
- Added clarification that `permission` replaces deprecated `permissions`
- Added comprehensive migration guide with before/after examples
- Added validation steps for migration

#### New: permission-patterns.md
- Comprehensive 400+ line permission patterns reference
- Permission evaluation order (last-matching-wins)
- Complete table of valid permission keys
- Agent type patterns (read-only, write-enabled, orchestrators)
- Security patterns (sensitive files, dangerous commands)
- Task permission patterns
- Complete working examples for each agent type
- Validation checklist

## Verification

- ✅ 0 agents using deprecated `permissions:` (plural)
- ✅ 16 agents using correct `permission:` (singular)
- ✅ All permission patterns follow last-matching-wins order
- ✅ Security denials applied consistently
- ✅ Context documentation updated and accurate

## Migration Details

Based on official OpenCode documentation (https://opencode.ai/docs/agents/):
- OpenCode v1.1.1+ uses `permission:` (singular)
- Deprecated: `permissions:` (plural)
- Granular control with last-matching-wins evaluation
- Valid actions: "allow", "ask", "deny"

All agents now comply with OpenCode v1.1.1+ standards.

* fix: correct YAML errors and restore missing permissions in agent configs

- Fix repo-manager.md duplicate permission section
- Fix externalscout.md YAML indentation error
- Remove old tools: section from devops-specialist.md
- Restore context file permissions in context-manager.md
- Restore test command permissions in tester.md
- Clean up formatting in coder-agent.md

All 20 agent files now have valid YAML frontmatter with proper permission blocks.

* fix: standardize permission key across agent files

- Updated all instances of `permissions:` to `permission:` in agent frontmatter for consistency.
- Removed deprecated `write:` and `edit:` sections from externalscout.md.
- Adjusted related documentation to reflect the singular form of permission key.

These changes ensure compliance with OpenCode v1.1.1+ standards and improve YAML structure across the repository.

# OpenAgents Repo Standards
**Purpose**: Standards for creating and maintaining agents in OpenAgents Control
**Last Updated**: 2026-01-31
---
## Overview
This directory contains standards for agent creation, focusing on:
- Valid OpenCode YAML frontmatter structure
- Subagent file organization and patterns
- Common mistakes and how to avoid them
These standards emerged from fixing YAML frontmatter issues across 18 agent files.
---
## Standards Files
| File | Description | Priority | Lines |
|------|-------------|----------|-------|
| [agent-frontmatter.md](agent-frontmatter.md) | Valid OpenCode frontmatter fields and common mistakes | critical | <200 |
| [subagent-structure.md](subagent-structure.md) | Standard structure for subagent files | critical | <200 |
---
## Quick Reference
### Valid OpenCode Fields (Frontmatter)
**Required**:
- `name` - Display name
- `description` - When to use this agent
- `mode` - Agent type (primary, subagent, all)
**Optional**:
- `temperature` - Response randomness (0.0-1.0)
- `model` - Model override
- `maxSteps` - Max iterations
- `disable` - Disable agent
- `hidden` - Hide from autocomplete
- `prompt` - Custom prompt file
- `tools` - Tool access config
- `permission` - Permission rules
- `skills` - Skills to load
### Invalid Fields (Move to agent-metadata.json)
These fields are NOT valid in OpenCode frontmatter:
- `id` - Agent identifier
- `category` - Agent category
- `type` - Component type
- `version` - Version number
- `author` - Author identifier
- `tags` - Discovery tags
- `dependencies` - Component dependencies
**Solution**: Move these to `.opencode/config/agent-metadata.json`
---
## Common Mistakes Fixed
### 1. Duplicate YAML Keys
**Problem**: `read: true` followed by `read: {"**/*": "allow"}`
**Fix**: Use only one declaration per key
### 2. Orphaned List Items
**Problem**: Lines without parent keys (e.g., `- write: false`)
**Fix**: Proper YAML structure with parent keys
### 3. Wrong Field Names
**Problem**: `permission:` instead of `permissions:`
**Fix**: Use correct field name `permissions:`
### 4. Extra Delimiter Blocks
**Problem**: Multiple `---` blocks in content
**Fix**: Only one frontmatter block at top
### 5. Invalid OpenCode Fields
**Problem**: Fields like `id`, `category`, `type` in frontmatter
**Fix**: Move to agent-metadata.json
---
## Loading Strategy
### For Creating New Agents
1. Load `agent-frontmatter.md` - Understand valid fields
2. Load `subagent-structure.md` - Follow structure pattern
3. Reference existing agents as examples
4. Validate YAML syntax before committing
### For Fixing Existing Agents
1. Load `agent-frontmatter.md` - Identify invalid fields
2. Check for common mistakes (duplicates, orphans, wrong names)
3. Move invalid fields to agent-metadata.json
4. Validate with YAML parser
### For Code Reviews
1. Load `agent-frontmatter.md` - Check frontmatter validity
2. Load `subagent-structure.md` - Verify structure compliance
3. Check for common mistakes
4. Validate YAML syntax
---
## Validation Commands
### Check YAML Syntax
```bash
yq eval '.opencode/agent/category/agent.md' > /dev/null
```
### Check for Duplicate Keys
```bash
grep -A 50 "^---$" .opencode/agent/category/agent.md | grep -E "^[a-z_]+:" | sort | uniq -d
```
### List All Frontmatter Keys
```bash
grep -A 50 "^---$" .opencode/agent/category/agent.md | grep -E "^[a-z_]+:" | cut -d: -f1
```
Valid keys: `name`, `description`, `mode`, `temperature`, `model`, `maxSteps`, `disable`, `hidden`, `prompt`, `tools`, `permissions`, `skills`

- Orphaned list items (lines without parent keys)
- Wrong field names (`permission:` → `permissions:`)
- Extra `---` delimiter blocks in content
- Invalid OpenCode fields in frontmatter
