📈 Test Coverage

All variants are tested against the Core Test Suite which validates:

Critical Rules (4 tests)

1. ✅ Approval Gate - Requests approval before execution
2. ✅ Context Loading - Loads required context files
3. ✅ Stop on Failure - Stops and reports errors
4. ✅ Report First - Reports before fixing

Functionality (3 tests)

5. ✅ Simple Tasks - Handles tasks directly (no unnecessary delegation)
6. ✅ Delegation - Delegates appropriately to subagents
7. ✅ Tool Usage - Uses proper tools (read/grep vs bash)

Total: 7 tests covering ~85% of critical functionality

See evals/agents/openagent/config/core-tests.json for details.

🔧 Creating a New Variant

Step 1: Copy Template

cp .opencode/prompts/openagent/TEMPLATE.md .opencode/prompts/openagent/my-variant.md

Step 2: Edit Metadata

---
model_family: oss
recommended_models:
  - ollama/my-model
status: experimental
maintainer: your-name
description: Optimized for my specific use case
tested_with: ollama/my-model
last_tested: 2025-12-08
---

Step 3: Customize Prompt

Edit the prompt content for your target model:

• Adjust instruction style
• Modify examples
• Change emphasis areas
• Optimize for model strengths

Step 4: Test

# Smoke test
cd evals/framework
npm run eval:sdk -- --agent=openagent --prompt-variant=my-variant --suite=smoke-test

# Core suite
npm run eval:sdk -- --agent=openagent --prompt-variant=my-variant --suite=core-tests

Step 5: Document Results

Update this README with:

• Test results (pass rate, timing)
• Known issues or limitations
• Recommended use cases
• Model-specific notes

Step 6: Submit PR

• Include variant file only (don't modify default.md)
• Update this README with results
• Ensure tests pass (≥85% pass rate)

🎯 Best Practices

Choosing a Variant

1. Match your model family - Use gpt.md for GPT-4, llama.md for OSS
2. Test before committing - Run core suite to verify
3. Check compatibility - Some models work better with certain variants
4. Start with default - If unsure, default.md works well across models

Testing Your Changes

1. Start with smoke-test - Fast validation (1 test)
2. Run core-tests - Thorough validation (7 tests)
3. Test with your target model - Ensure compatibility
4. Check dashboard - Visual feedback on performance

Contributing Variants

1. Document thoroughly - Explain optimizations and trade-offs
2. Test extensively - Run full core suite multiple times
3. Be honest - Document both improvements and limitations
4. Share results - Help others by documenting findings

---

🚀 Advanced Usage

Custom Test Suites

Create custom suites for your variant:

# Create suite
cp evals/agents/openagent/config/smoke-test.json \
   evals/agents/openagent/config/my-suite.json

# Validate
cd evals/framework && npm run validate:suites openagent

# Run
npm run eval:sdk -- --agent=openagent --prompt-variant=my-variant --suite=my-suite

Comparing Models

Test the same variant with different models:

# Test Llama 3.2
npm run eval:sdk -- --agent=openagent --prompt-variant=llama --model=ollama/llama3.2 --suite=core-tests

# Test Qwen 2.5
npm run eval:sdk -- --agent=openagent --prompt-variant=llama --model=ollama/qwen2.5 --suite=core-tests

# Compare in dashboard
open ../results/index.html

🤝 Contributing

What Makes a Good Variant?

• ✅ Clear target - Specify which model(s) it's optimized for
• ✅ Documented changes - Explain what you changed and why
• ✅ Test results - Include real test results (≥85% pass rate)
• ✅ Honest assessment - Document both improvements and limitations
• ✅ Proper metadata - Complete YAML frontmatter

Promoting a Variant to Default

A variant can become the new default if it:

1. Shows significant improvement in test results
2. Works reliably across multiple models
3. Has been tested by multiple contributors
4. Doesn't introduce new critical issues
5. Maintains ≥95% pass rate on core tests

Maintainers will review test results and community feedback before promoting.

🆘 Troubleshooting

Variant Not Found

# List available variants
ls .opencode/prompts/openagent/*.md

# Verify variant name
npm run eval:sdk -- --agent=openagent --prompt-variant=your-variant --suite=smoke-test

Tests Failing

1. Check variant metadata (YAML frontmatter)
2. Verify recommended model is available
3. Run with debug: npm run eval:sdk -- --debug
4. Check specific test failures in dashboard

Low Pass Rate

• Review failed tests in dashboard
• Check if model supports required capabilities
• Consider adjusting prompt for model strengths
• Test with different models in same family

💡 Tips

• Start small - Test with smoke-test first
• Iterate quickly - Use smoke-test for rapid iteration
• Document everything - Help others learn from your experience
• Share results - Update this README with your findings
• Ask for help - Open an issue if you're stuck
