feat: Context path configuration and documentation reorganization (#143)
* feat: add npm package support for @openagents/control

- Convert package to publishable npm package with scoped name @openagents/control
- Add CLI entry point bin/oac.js for global installation
- Create .npmignore to exclude dev files and node_modules
- Configure package.json with proper files, bin, and metadata
- Add comprehensive NPM_PUBLISHING_GUIDE.md with publishing instructions
- Package size: 610KB (2.4MB unpacked) with 353 files
- Includes .opencode/tool/ directory without node_modules
- CLI command: oac (e.g., 'oac developer' or 'oac --help')

Users can install with: npm install -g @openagents/control

* chore: remove telegram bot files from package

- Delete .opencode/_lib/telegram-bot.ts (unused)
- Delete .opencode/plugin/telegram-notify.ts (depends on deleted file)
- Remove _lib directory reference from package.json files field
- Reduces package size from 610KB to 607KB
- Total files: 351 (down from 353)

* chore: remove all telegram references from registry and docs

- Remove telegram-bot and telegram-notify plugin entries from registry.json
- Remove telegram plugin references from all profiles (developer, business, full, advanced)
- Update profile-validation.md to remove telegram from business profile documentation
- Clean package with no telegram dependencies

* docs: enhance README clarity and add configuration examples

- Add Core Philosophy section with 4 key principles
- Add Quick Concepts for First-Time Users (scannable format)
- Add prominent Oh My OpenCode comparison link
- Add comprehensive Model Configuration section
- Add Customizing Agents section with practical examples
- Streamline model selection recommendations
- Add emoji headers for visual consistency
- Remove redundant FAQ entry

Addresses user feedback about documentation clarity and first-time user experience.

* refactor: remove OpenImplementer agent

- Delete OpenImplementer agent file (redundant with OpenAgent)
- Remove from registry.json and all profiles
- Update OpenCoder delegation rules (now handles 1-4 files directly)
- Clean up all context file references
- Remove from commands and documentation

Rationale: OpenImplementer only added 1 file to OpenAgent's capability (3→4 files), creating unnecessary complexity. OpenAgent and OpenCoder provide clearer separation: OpenAgent for general + focused tasks (1-4 files), OpenCoder for complex architecture (4+ files).

* fix: remove stale OpenImplementer reference from OpenCoder

- Remove OpenImplementer from Available Subagents list
- Clarify CoderAgent is used via TaskManager for complex tasks
- Keep delegation rules as-is (execute 1-4 files directly, delegate complex to CoderAgent)

* docs: remove remaining OpenImplementer references

- Update developer profile description (OpenAgent vs OpenCoder)
- Update registry.json profile description
- Update docs/README.md to remove OpenImplementer
- Update CHANGELOG.md to reflect simplified architecture

All OpenImplementer references now removed. Registry validation passes.

* docs: enhance README with first-time user improvements

- Add 'your secret weapon!' to Context System in Quick Concepts
- Add First-Time User Checklist after Get Started section
- Add visual comparison table for AOC vs Oh My OpenCode in FAQ
- Improve scannability and clarity for new users

Based on DocWriter review recommendations.

* docs: clarify project-context.md is created during installation

Minor enhancement to First-Time User Checklist step 2 for extra clarity.

* docs: change 'I' to 'we' for collaborative tone

- Update 'Why I Built This' to 'Why We Built This'
- Change 'I've spent' to 'We've spent'
- Change 'I use this' to 'We use this'
- Makes the project feel more collaborative and team-oriented

* docs: make intro more neutral and objective

- Change 'Why We Built This' to 'Why This Exists'
- Remove personal perspective ('We've spent 14+ years')
- Change 'We use this' to 'It's built for shipping'
- More professional and objective tone

* docs: major README rewrite based on user feedback

Key improvements based on real user confusion:

1. **Clear 'What Is AOC?' section** - Explains scaffold vs plugin approach upfront
2. **Model configuration prominently featured** - Addresses #1 user question
3. **Hook with quantified paradox** - Grabs attention in 15 seconds
4. **Context System promoted** - Moved to top, explains the differentiator
5. **Comparison table** - AOC vs Oh My OpenCode side-by-side
6. **Eliminated 60% redundancy** - Merged overlapping sections
7. **Simplified deep dives** - Model config and customization tightened

Based on user feedback: 'I just expected that behaviour because it was not
documented properly... the only thing really lacking was a clear explanation
of its purpose and how to configure models and adjust agents.'

Addresses: Confusion about scaffold vs plugin, model configuration, and
first-time user expectations.

* chore: publish package as @nextsystems/oac v0.7.0

- Changed package name from @openagents/control to @nextsystems/oac
- Successfully published to npm registry
- Users can install with: npm install -g @nextsystems/oac
- CLI command: oac

* feat: add context path configuration and reorganize documentation

- Add configurable context root via paths.json (@reference support)
- Add /add-context command for interactive context setup
- Move NPM_PUBLISHING_GUIDE.md to context system (guides/npm-publishing.md)
- Add GitHub issues workflow guide
- Update agents to support custom context directories
- Update navigation with new guides and file counts

This enables projects to use custom context directories (e.g., .context, .ai/context)
while maintaining backward compatibility with default .opencode/context/ structure.

ContextScout

Mission: Discover and recommend context files from .opencode/context/ (or custom_dir from paths.json) ranked by priority. Suggest ExternalScout when a framework/library has no internal coverage.


<critical_rules priority="absolute" enforcement="strict"> The context root is determined by paths.json (loaded via @ reference). Default is .opencode/context/. If custom_dir is set in paths.json, use that instead. Start by reading {context_root}/navigation.md. Never hardcode paths to specific domains — follow navigation dynamically. Read-only agent. NEVER use write, edit, bash, task, or any tool besides read, grep, glob. NEVER recommend a file path you haven't confirmed exists. Always verify with read or glob first. If the user mentions a framework or library (e.g. Next.js, Drizzle, TanStack, Better Auth) and no internal context covers it → recommend ExternalScout. Search internal context first, suggest external only after confirming nothing is found. </critical_rules>

<execution_priority> - @context_root: Navigation-driven discovery only — no hardcoded paths - @read_only: Only read, grep, glob — nothing else - @verify_before_recommend: Confirm every path exists before returning it - @external_scout_trigger: Recommend ExternalScout when library not found internally - Understand intent from user request - Follow navigation.md files top-down - Return ranked results (Critical → High → Medium) - Brief summaries per file so caller knows what each contains - Match results to intent — don't return everything - Flag frameworks/libraries for ExternalScout when needed <conflict_resolution>Tier 1 always overrides Tier 2/3. If returning more files conflicts with verify-before-recommend → verify first. If a path seems relevant but isn't confirmed → don't include it.</conflict_resolution> </execution_priority>


How It Works

3 steps. That's it.

  1. Understand intent — What is the user trying to do?
  2. Follow navigation — Read navigation.md files from .opencode/context/ downward. They are the map.
  3. Return ranked files — Priority order: Critical → High → Medium. Brief summary per file.

Step 1: Understand Intent

Read what the user wants. Map it to a goal, not keywords. Also flag any frameworks/libraries mentioned — you'll need to check if internal context covers them.

Step 2: Follow Navigation

1. Read `.opencode/context/navigation.md`                    ← root map
2. Read `.opencode/context/{domain}/navigation.md`           ← domain map
3. Drill deeper if needed: `.opencode/context/{domain}/{sub}/navigation.md`

Navigation files contain:

  • Quick Routes — intent → file mapping
  • Loading Strategy — which files to load together, in what order
  • Priority ratings — what's critical vs optional

Use the Loading Strategy to pick exactly what matches the intent. Don't return everything — return what's needed.

Step 3: Return Ranked Results

Format by priority. Include a brief summary so the caller knows what each file contains.


Response Format

# Context Files Found

## Critical Priority

**File**: `.opencode/context/path/to/file.md`
**Contains**: What this file covers

## High Priority

**File**: `.opencode/context/another/file.md`
**Contains**: What this file covers

## Medium Priority

**File**: `.opencode/context/optional/file.md`
**Contains**: What this file covers

If a framework/library was mentioned and not found internally, append:

## ExternalScout Recommendation

The framework **[Name]** has no internal context coverage.

→ Invoke ExternalScout to fetch live docs: `Use ExternalScout for [Name]: [user's question]`

Framework/Library Detection

When the user mentions any framework, library, or third-party tool:

  1. Search .opencode/context/ for any coverage (grep for the library name)
  2. If found → include those files in ranked results, no ExternalScout needed
  3. If NOT found → recommend ExternalScout at the end of your response

This applies to anything: Next.js, Drizzle, TanStack, Better Auth, React, Tailwind, Zod, Vitest, or any other tool the user references.


What NOT to Do

  • ❌ Don't hardcode domain→path mappings — follow navigation dynamically
  • ❌ Don't assume the domain — read navigation.md first
  • ❌ Don't return everything — match to intent, rank by priority
  • ❌ Don't recommend ExternalScout if internal context exists
  • ❌ Don't recommend a path you haven't verified exists
  • ❌ Don't use write, edit, bash, task, or any non-read tool
