fix(plugin): fix hooks and add missing skills for reliable skill invocation (#227)
* fix: overhaul Claude Code plugin for correctness and spec compliance

- Fix critical bugs: coder-agent name (CoderAgent→coder-agent), manifest
  path in session-start.sh, /oac:setup ghost command replaced with /install-context
- Fix hooks.json: add timeout/async, add description, restore matcher
- Fix session-start.sh: dual-format output (Claude Code + Cursor/OpenCode),
  remove invalid JSON escapes for $ and backtick
- Fix agent spec compliance: disallowedTools on read-only agents, WebFetch
  on external-scout, haiku model on context-scout, example blocks on 3 agents
- Fix skill descriptions: triggering conditions only (no workflow summaries)
  per superpowers empirical testing — prevents Claude shortcutting skill content
- Add Red Flags + Rationalization tables to 4 discipline skills
- Add install-context skill + command replacing oac-setup/oac-plan/oac-add-context
- Add cleanup-tmp.sh (was missing, broke /oac:cleanup)
- Add TypeScript installer (install-context.ts/js) with profile-based download
- Update plugin.json: keywords, homepage for marketplace discoverability
- Update README: correct skill count, fix structure diagram, remove stale refs
- Remove obsolete files: FIRST-TIME-SETUP.md, INSTALL.md, QUICK-START.md,
  download-context.sh, verify-context.sh, load-config.sh, context-manager skill,
  oac-setup/oac-plan/oac-add-context commands

* add TypeScript and OpenCode context standards files

Adds three new context files covering universal TypeScript patterns,
OpenCode-specific patterns (fn() wrapper, namespaces, Instance.state()),
and context-system-specific TypeScript coding standards.

* fix(plugin): fix hooks and add missing skills for reliable skill invocation

- Rewrite using-oac skill with always-on skill-check rule (was conditional on dev task detection)
- Update session-start.sh to dynamically inject full skill catalogue at session start
- Add brainstorming skill: intercepts creative/build work before any implementation
- Add systematic-debugging skill: 4-phase root cause process before any fix
- Add verification-before-completion skill: evidence-before-claims gate
- Add /brainstorm and /debug slash commands as pure skill shortcuts
- Fix oac-help to use disable-model-invocation:true (pure shortcut, not self-rendering)
- Fix oac-status to be simpler bash-based status check

description: Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, or passing, before committing or creating PRs — requires running verification commands and confirming output before making any success claims; evidence before assertions always

# Verification Before Completion
## Overview
Claiming work is complete without verification is dishonesty, not efficiency.
**Core principle:** Evidence before claims, always.
**Violating the letter of this rule is violating the spirit of this rule.**
## The Iron Law
```
NO COMPLETION CLAIMS WITHOUT FRESH VERIFICATION EVIDENCE
```
If you haven't run the verification command in this message, you cannot claim it passes.
## The Gate Function
```
BEFORE claiming any status or expressing satisfaction:
1. IDENTIFY: What command proves this claim?
2. RUN: Execute the FULL command (fresh, complete)
3. READ: Full output, check exit code, count failures
4. VERIFY: Does output confirm the claim?
- If NO: State actual status with evidence
- If YES: State claim WITH evidence
5. ONLY THEN: Make the claim
Skip any step = lying, not verifying
```
## Common Failures
| Claim | Requires | Not Sufficient |
|-------|----------|----------------|
| Tests pass | Test command output: 0 failures | Previous run, "should pass" |
| Linter clean | Linter output: 0 errors | Partial check, extrapolation |
| Build succeeds | Build command: exit 0 | Linter passing, logs look good |
| Bug fixed | Test original symptom: passes | Code changed, assumed fixed |
| Agent completed | VCS diff shows changes | Agent reports "success" |
| Requirements met | Line-by-line checklist | Tests passing |
## Red Flags — STOP
- Using "should", "probably", "seems to"
- Expressing satisfaction before verification ("Great!", "Perfect!", "Done!", etc.)
- About to commit/push/PR without verification
- Trusting agent success reports
- Relying on partial verification
- **ANY wording implying success without having run verification**
## Rationalization Prevention
| Excuse | Reality |
|--------|---------|
| "Should work now" | RUN the verification |
| "I'm confident" | Confidence ≠ evidence |
| "Just this once" | No exceptions |
| "Agent said success" | Verify independently |
| "Partial check is enough" | Partial proves nothing |
## Key Patterns
**Tests:**
```
✅ [Run test command] [See: 34/34 pass] "All tests pass"
❌ "Should pass now" / "Looks correct"
```
**Build:**
```
✅ [Run build] [See: exit 0] "Build passes"
❌ "Linter passed" (linter doesn't check compilation)
```
**Requirements:**
```
✅ Re-read plan → Create checklist → Verify each → Report gaps or completion
❌ "Tests pass, phase complete"
```
**Agent delegation:**
```
✅ Agent reports success → Check VCS diff → Verify changes → Report actual state
❌ Trust agent report
```
## When To Apply
**ALWAYS before:**
- ANY variation of success/completion claims
- ANY expression of satisfaction
- ANY positive statement about work state
- Committing, PR creation, task completion
- Moving to next task
- Delegating to agents
## The Bottom Line
**No shortcuts for verification.**
Run the command. Read the output. THEN claim the result.
This is non-negotiable.
