* fix(shellcheck): declare and assign separately in router.sh (SC2155) * feat(plugin): enhance context management and skill invocation - Update .context-manifest.json to include profile and detailed source information. - Revise context-scout.md to clarify context root discovery and navigation. - Modify commands to replace deprecated skills with updated ones (brainstorming → approach, systematic-debugging → debugger). - Streamline install-context.md for clarity and remove interactive profile selection. - Improve oac-status.md to provide a more comprehensive status report. - Add OAC system paths to session-start.sh for better context management. - Remove obsolete skills and improve documentation for existing commands.

|
```
|
|
|
|
```markdown

|
|
type: "agent"
|
|
tags: ["tag1", "tag2"]

## Step 2: Create Test Structure
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Create directories
|
|
mkdir -p evals/agents/{category}/{agent-name}/{config,tests}
|
|
|
|
# Create config
|
|
cat > evals/agents/{category}/{agent-name}/config/config.yaml << 'EOF'
|
|
agent: {category}/{agent-name}
|
|
model: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5
|
|
timeout: 60000
|
|
suites:
|
|
- smoke
|
|
EOF
|
|
|
|
# Create smoke test
|
|
cat > evals/agents/{category}/{agent-name}/tests/smoke-test.yaml << 'EOF'
|
|
name: Smoke Test
|
|
description: Basic functionality check
|
|
agent: {category}/{agent-name}
|
|
model: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5
|
|
conversation:
|
|
- role: user
|
|
content: "Hello, can you help me?"
|
|
expectations:
|
|
- type: no_violations
|
|
EOF
|
|
```
|
|

|
## Step 3: Update Registry
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Dry run first
|
|
./scripts/registry/auto-detect-components.sh --dry-run
|
|
|
|
# Add to registry
|
|
./scripts/registry/auto-detect-components.sh --auto-add
|
|
|
|
# Verify
|
|
cat registry.json | jq '.components.agents[] | select(.id == "{agent-name}")'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Step 4: Validate
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Validate registry
|
|
./scripts/registry/validate-registry.sh
|
|
|
|
# Run smoke test
|
|
cd evals/framework
|
|
npm run eval:sdk -- --agent={category}/{agent-name} --pattern="smoke-test.yaml"
|
|
|
|
# Test installation
|
|
REGISTRY_URL="file://$(pwd)/registry.json" ./install.sh --list
|
|
```
