chore: verify and stabilize main branch (#42)

* chore: update package-lock.json after npm install

* chore: remove unused ajv-cli, keep vitest at stable 1.6.1

- Removed ajv-cli (unused dev dependency, had high severity vulnerability)
- Kept vitest at 1.6.1 (stable, upgrading to v4 requires extensive refactoring)
- Reduced vulnerabilities from 6 to 4 (all moderate, dev-only)
- All remaining vulnerabilities are in esbuild/vite (dev server only, no production impact)
- Build and tests verified working

* feat(evals): add execution-balance validation to 21 OpenAgent tests and enhance agent system

Major improvements to evaluation framework and agent capabilities:

## Execution Balance Evaluator Integration
- Added execution-balance rule to 21 OpenAgent tests (2.7% → 31.5% coverage)
- Validates "read before execute" pattern across critical rules, workflows, and edge cases
- Tests now check: read operations before execution tools, healthy read/exec ratio (≥1.0)
- Coverage includes: approval-gate, context-loading, stop-on-failure, report-first tests

## Agent System Enhancements
- Enhanced OpenCoder agent with critical rules enforcement (approval gates, context loading)
- Added structured delegation rules and workflow phases
- Improved error handling with REPORT→PROPOSE→REQUEST→FIX pattern

## New Agent Creation System
- Added research-backed agent creation templates and guides
- Includes 8 test templates covering planning, context, incremental execution, tools
- Automated agent scaffolding with /create-agent command
- Complete documentation in .opencode/command/openagents/new-agents/

## OpenCoder Test Suite
- Added 8 comprehensive test cases for OpenCoder agent
- Tests cover: planning, context-loading, delegation, error-handling, implementation
- Includes DEBUG_GUIDE.md and QUICK_TEST_GUIDE.md for developers

## Documentation & Tooling
- Added DEVELOPMENT.md guide for contributors
- Enhanced CONTRIBUTING.md with quick reference and common commands
- Improved event-logger with DEBUG_VERBOSE mode for detailed output
- Added debug scripts: show-test-conversation.sh, run-test-verbose.sh
- Removed deprecated EXTERNAL_PR_GUIDE.md

## Version Bump
- Bumped version to 0.0.3 (patch)

Files changed: 60+ files (21 test updates, 16 new agent templates, 8 new tests, docs, tooling)

* feat(ci): add PR title validation for semantic versioning

Add automated PR title validation to ensure conventional commit format.
This enables proper automatic version bumping when PRs are merged.

Features:
- Validates PR titles against conventional commit patterns
- Shows expected version bump (major/minor/patch)
- Posts helpful comment with examples if validation fails
- Supports all conventional commit types (feat, fix, docs, etc.)
- Supports breaking changes (feat!, fix!)
- Supports pre-release tags ([alpha], [beta], [rc])

When PR titles follow the format, version bumping works correctly:
- feat: → minor bump (0.3.0 → 0.4.0)
- fix: → patch bump (0.3.0 → 0.3.1)
- feat!: → major bump (0.3.0 → 1.0.0)

* fix(ci): improve PR checks workflow with sequential execution

Reorganize PR checks to run in logical sequence and skip unnecessary checks:

Changes:
- Run PR title validation first (fast, always required)
- Detect changed files to determine which checks to run
- Only run build checks if evals/ files changed
- Add comprehensive summary job showing all check results
- Prevent cache errors when evals files not changed

Benefits:
- Faster PR checks (skip unnecessary builds)
- Clear sequential execution (title → changes → build)
- Better error messages and summaries
- Reduced CI/CD costs

* fix(ci): resolve PR #42 issues and refactor prompt architecture

## Fixed PR #42 Issues

1. **Prompt Validation** - Refactored to new architecture where agent files are canonical defaults
2. **Package-lock.json** - Fixed workflow to use root package-lock (npm workspaces)
3. **Git Merge Base** - Added fetch-depth: 0 to PR checks workflow

## New Prompt Architecture

**Before:**
- Agent files had to match .opencode/prompts/<agent>/default.md
- Caused validation failures when updating prompts
- Redundant duplication

**After:**
- Agent files (.opencode/agent/*.md) = Canonical defaults (source of truth)
- Prompt variants (.opencode/prompts/<agent>/<model>.md) = Model-specific optimizations
- No more default.md files needed

## Changes

### Workflows
- pr-checks.yml: Added fetch-depth: 0 for full git history
- validate-test-suites.yml: Fixed package-lock path for npm workspaces
- validate-registry.yml: Updated validation messaging

### Scripts
- validate-pr.sh: Validates prompt library structure (rejects default.md files)
- use-prompt.sh: Handles 'default' as agent file, variants as model-specific
- test-prompt.sh: Tests default variant correctly, saves results to prompts/results/

### Documentation
- .opencode/prompts/README.md: Updated architecture explanation
- docs/contributing/CONTRIBUTING.md: Updated prompt workflow
- scripts/development/demo.sh: Updated structure display

## Results

- 12 files changed, 231 insertions(+), 811 deletions(-)
- Net reduction: 580 lines (cleaner codebase)
- All validations passing
- Results directory structure preserved
- Backwards compatible with existing test results

-# External PR Guide
-
-This guide explains how GitHub Actions workflows behave for external contributors (fork PRs).
-
-## For External Contributors (Fork PRs)
-
-When you submit a PR from a fork, workflows run but **cannot auto-commit fixes** due to GitHub security restrictions.
-
-### What Runs Automatically
-
-✅ **Fast Build Check (< 2 minutes)**
-- TypeScript compilation check
-- YAML test suite validation
-- Quick feedback on code quality
-
-✅ **Registry Validation**
-- Checks if `registry.json` matches actual files
-- Validates all paths are correct
-- Checks prompts use defaults
-- **Cannot auto-commit** (you'll need to fix locally)
-
-❌ **What Doesn't Run on PRs**
-- Full AI agent tests (too expensive, run manually by maintainers)
-- Auto-version bumping (happens after merge)
-
-### What You Need to Do
-
-If the validation workflow reports issues, you'll need to fix them locally:
-
-#### 1. Build Failures
-
-If TypeScript compilation fails:
-
-```bash
-# Build locally to see errors
-cd evals/framework
-npm install
-npm run build
-
-# Fix the errors, then commit
-git add .
-git commit -m "fix: resolve build errors"
-git push
-```
-
-#### 2. Registry Issues
-
-If new components are detected (you'll get a comment on your PR):
-
-```bash
-# Run auto-detect locally
-./scripts/registry/auto-detect-components.sh --auto-add
-
-# Commit the updated registry
-git add registry.json
-git commit -m "chore: update registry with new components"
-git push
-```
-
-#### 3. Prompt Issues
-
-If prompts don't match defaults:
-
-```bash
-# Restore default prompts
-./scripts/prompts/use-prompt.sh <agent-name> default
-
-# Commit the changes
-git add .opencode/agent/
-git commit -m "chore: restore default prompts"
-git push
-```
-
-#### 4. Path Issues
-
-If registry paths are invalid:
-
-```bash
-# Validate and see suggestions
-./scripts/validate-registry.sh --fix
-
-# Manually fix paths in registry.json
-# Then commit
-git add registry.json
-git commit -m "fix: correct registry paths"
-git push
-```
-
-### What Happens Next
-
-1. **Fix Issues Locally**: If validation fails, fix issues and push
-2. **Fast Feedback**: Build checks complete in < 2 minutes
-3. **Maintainer Review**: A maintainer will review your code
-4. **Merge**: Once everything passes, your PR will be merged!
-5. **Auto-Release**: After merge, version is auto-bumped and release created (you don't need to do anything!)
-
----
-
-## For Maintainers
-
-### Handling External PRs
-
-External PRs run normally but **cannot auto-commit** due to GitHub security (can't push to fork branches).
-
-### Simple Overrides
-
-If you need to override checks:
-
-**Skip Validation:**
-1. Go to **Actions** → **Validate Registry on PR**
-2. Click **"Run workflow"**
-3. Enable **"Skip validation checks"**
-4. Run on the PR branch
-
-**Skip Version Bump:**
-1. Go to **Actions** → **Post-Merge Automation**
-2. Click **"Run workflow"**
-3. Enable **"Skip version bump"**
-4. Run manually
-
-### Workflow Behavior
-
-| PR Type | Build Check | Registry Validation | Auto-Commit | AI Tests |
-|---------|------------|-------------------|-------------|----------|
-| **Internal PR** (branch) | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ❌ No* |
-| **External PR** (fork) | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ❌ No** | ❌ No* |
-
-*AI tests don't run on PRs (too expensive) - maintainers run manually if needed  
-**Cannot push to fork branches - contributor must fix locally
-
-### Manual Testing External PRs
-
-If you want to test an external PR locally:
-
-```bash
-# Fetch the PR
-gh pr checkout <PR_NUMBER>
-
-# Run build check
-cd evals/framework
-npm install
-npm run build
-npm run validate:suites:all
-
-# Run validation
-./scripts/registry/validate-registry.sh -v
-./scripts/prompts/validate-pr.sh
-
-# Auto-fix registry if needed
-./scripts/registry/auto-detect-components.sh --auto-add
-
-# Run AI tests (optional - only if needed)
-npm run test:ci
-
-# If everything passes, approve and merge
-gh pr review <PR_NUMBER> --approve
-gh pr merge <PR_NUMBER>
-```
-
-**Note:** AI tests are optional for PRs. The build check is usually sufficient.

+# New Agent Creation System
+
+**Research-backed agent creation following Anthropic 2025 best practices**
+
+## Overview
+
+This command system helps you create production-ready OpenCode agents with:
+- ✅ **Minimal prompts** (~500 tokens at "right altitude")
+- ✅ **Single agent + tools** (not multi-agent for coding)
+- ✅ **Just-in-time context** (loaded on demand, not pre-loaded)
+- ✅ **Clear tool definitions** (purpose, when to use, when not to use)
+- ✅ **Comprehensive testing** (8 essential test types)
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Create a New Agent
+
+```bash
+# Interactive agent creation
+/create-agent my-agent-name
+
+# Or specify in prompt
+"Create a new agent called 'python-dev' for Python development"
+```
+
+### Generate Test Suite
+
+```bash
+# Generate 8 comprehensive tests for existing agent
+/create-tests my-agent-name
+```
+
+## Research-Backed Principles
+
+### 1. Single Agent + Tools > Multi-Agent for Coding
+
+**Finding**: "Most coding tasks involve fewer truly parallelizable tasks than research" (Anthropic 2025)
+
+**Why this matters**:
+- Code changes are deeply dependent on each other
+- Sub-agents can't coordinate edits to the same file
+- Agents waste time duplicating work
+- Multi-agent excels at research (90.2% improvement) because searches are independent
+- Code is sequential
+
+**Application**:
+- Use ONE lead agent with tool-based sub-functions
+- NOT autonomous sub-agents for coding
+- Multi-agent only for truly independent tasks:
+  - Static analysis (no coordination needed)
+  - Test execution
+  - Code search/retrieval
+- NOT for: refactoring, architecture decisions, multi-file changes
+
+### 2. Right Altitude: Minimal Prompts
+
+**Finding**: "Find the smallest possible set of high-signal tokens that maximize likelihood of desired outcome"
+
+**The Balance**:
+| Too Vague | Right Altitude ✅ | Too Rigid |
+|-----------|------------------|-----------|
+| "Write good code" | Clear heuristics + examples | 50-line prompt with edge cases |
+| Fails to guide behavior | Flexible but specific | Brittle, hard to maintain |
+
+**Application**:
+- System prompt: Minimal (~500 tokens)
+- Clear heuristics, not exhaustive rules
+- Examples > edge case lists
+- Show ONE canonical example, not 20 scenarios
+
+### 3. Just-in-Time Context Loading
+
+**Finding**: "Agents discover context layer by layer. File metadata guides behavior. Prevents drowning in irrelevant information"
+
+**Context Management Layers**:
+1. **System prompt**: Minimal (~500 tokens). Clear heuristics, not exhaustive rules.
+2. **Just-in-time retrieval**: Tools that agents call to load context on demand (file paths, not full content)
+3. **Working memory**: Keep only what's needed for the current task
+
+**Why this beats pre-loading**:
+- Agents discover context layer by layer
+- File metadata (size, name, timestamps) guide behavior
+- Prevents "drowning in irrelevant information"
+
+### 4. CLAUDE.md Pattern
+
+**Finding**: Anthropic's Claude Code uses this in production
+
+**Create a project context file** automatically loaded into every session:
+
+```markdown
+# Project Context
+
+## Bash Commands
+- npm run test: Run unit tests
+- npm run lint: Check code style
+- npm run typecheck: Check TypeScript
+
+## Code Style
+- Use ES modules (import/export)
+- Destructure imports when possible
+- Use async/await, not callbacks
+
+## Common Files & Patterns
+- API handlers in src/handlers/
+- Business logic in src/logic/
+- Tests mirror source structure
+
+## Workflow Rules
+- Always run typecheck before committing
+- Don't modify test files when writing implementation
+- Use git history to understand WHY, not WHAT
+```
+
+**Benefits**:
+- Eliminates repetitive context-loading
+- Shared across team (check into git)
+- Tuned like any prompt (run through prompt improvers)
+
+### 5. Tool Clarity
+
+**Finding**: "Tool ambiguity is one of the biggest failure modes"
+
+**Bad tool design**:
+```markdown
+tool: "search_code"
+description: "search code"  # Ambiguous!
+```
+
+**Good tool design**:
+```markdown
+tool: "read_file"
+purpose: "Load a specific file for analysis or modification"
+when_to_use: "You need to examine or edit a file"
+when_not_to_use: "You already have the file content in context"
+```
+
+**Key principle**: If a human engineer can't definitively say which tool to use, neither can the agent.
+
+### 6. Extended Thinking for Decomposition
+
+**Finding**: "Improved instruction-following and reasoning efficiency for complex decomposition"
+
+**Before jumping to code, trigger extended thinking**:
+```
+"Think about how to approach this problem. What files need to change? 
+What are the dependencies? What should we test?"
+```
+
+**Phrases mapped to thinking budget**:
+- "think" = basic
+- "think hard" = 2x budget
+- "think harder" = 3x budget
+- "ultrathink" = maximum
+
+### 7. Parallel Tool Calling
+
+**Finding**: "Parallel tool calling cut research time by up to 90% for complex queries"
+
+**Design workflows where agent can call multiple tools simultaneously**:
+
+**Can do in parallel**:
+- Run linter
+- Execute tests
+- Check type errors
+
+**NOT in parallel** (sequential):
+- Apply fix, then test
+
+### 8. Outcome-Focused Evaluation
+
+**Finding**: "Token usage explains 80% of performance variance. Number of tool calls ~10%. Model choice ~10%"
+
+**What to measure**:
+- ✅ Does it solve the task?
+- ✅ Token usage reasonable?
+- ✅ Tool calls appropriate?
+- ❌ NOT: "Did it follow exact steps I imagined?"
+
+**Application**:
+- Optimize for using enough tokens to solve the problem
+- Don't minimize tool calls (some redundancy is fine)
+- Evaluate on real failure cases, not synthetic tests
+

+- What you did
+- Why you did it that way
+- {Domain-specific output requirement}

+    **User**: "{typical request}"
+    
+    **Agent**:
+    1. {Step 1 with tool usage}

+    3. {Step 3 with output}
+    
+    **Result**: {Expected outcome}
+  </example>
+</examples>
+```
+
+## Test Suite (8 Essential Tests)
+
+Every agent gets 8 comprehensive tests:
+
+1. **Planning & Approval** - Verify plan-first approach
+2. **Context Loading** - Ensure just-in-time context retrieval
+3. **Incremental Implementation** - Verify step-by-step execution
+4. **Tool Usage** - Check correct tool selection and usage
+5. **Error Handling** - Verify stop-on-failure behavior
+6. **Extended Thinking** - Check decomposition before coding
+7. **Compaction** - Verify summarization for long sessions
+8. **Completion** - Check proper output and handoff
+
+## What NOT to Do
+
+Based on failure modes found in production:
+
+**Don't**:
+- ❌ Create sub-agents for dependent tasks (code is sequential)
+- ❌ Pre-load entire codebase into context (use just-in-time retrieval)
+- ❌ Write exhaustive edge case lists in prompts (brittle, hard to maintain)
+- ❌ Give vague tool descriptions (major failure mode)
+- ❌ Use multi-agent if you could use single agent + tools
+- ❌ Hardcode complex logic in prompts (use tools instead)
+- ❌ Minimize tool calls (some redundancy is fine)
+
+**Do**:
+- ✅ Let agents discover context via tools
+- ✅ Use examples instead of rules
+- ✅ Keep system prompt minimal (~500 tokens)
+- ✅ Be explicit about effort budgets ("3-5 tool calls, not 50")
+- ✅ Evaluate on real failure cases, not synthetic tests
+- ✅ Measure outcomes: Does it solve the task?
+

+  <single_agent_plus_tools>
+    **Finding**: "Most coding tasks involve fewer truly parallelizable tasks than research" (Anthropic 2025)
+    
+    **Application**:
+    - Use ONE lead agent with tool-based sub-functions
+    - NOT autonomous sub-agents for coding
+    - Multi-agent only for truly independent tasks (static analysis, test execution, code search)
+    - Code changes are deeply dependent - sub-agents can't coordinate edits to same file
+  </single_agent_plus_tools>
+  
+  <right_altitude>
+    **Finding**: "Find the smallest possible set of high-signal tokens that maximize likelihood of desired outcome"
+    
+    **Application**:
+    - System prompt: Minimal (~500 tokens)
+    - Clear heuristics, not exhaustive rules
+    - Examples > edge case lists
+    - Show ONE canonical example, not 20 scenarios
+    
+    **Balance**:
+    - Too vague: "Write good code" ❌
+    - Right altitude: Clear heuristics + examples ✅
+    - Too rigid: 50-line prompt with edge cases ❌
+  </right_altitude>
+  
+  <just_in_time_context>
+    **Finding**: "Agents discover context layer by layer. File metadata guides behavior. Prevents drowning in irrelevant information"

+    **Application**:
+    - Tools load context on demand (not pre-loaded)
+    - File metadata (size, name, timestamps) guide behavior
+    - Working memory: Keep only what's needed for current task
+    - CLAUDE.md pattern: Single context file loaded on-demand
+  </just_in_time_context>
+  
+  <tool_clarity>
+    **Finding**: "Tool ambiguity is one of the biggest failure modes"
+    
+    **Application**:
+    - Explicit purpose for each tool
+    - When to use vs. when NOT to use
+    - Expected output format
+    - If human can't definitively say which tool to use, neither can agent
+  </tool_clarity>
+  
+  <extended_thinking>
+    **Finding**: "Improved instruction-following and reasoning efficiency for complex decomposition"
+    
+    **Application**:
+    - Before jumping to code, trigger extended thinking
+    - "Think about how to approach this problem. What files need to change? What are the dependencies?"
+    - Phrases mapped to thinking budget:

+  </extended_thinking>
+  
+  <compaction>
+    **Finding**: "When context approaches limit, summarize conversation. Preserve: architectural decisions, unresolved bugs, implementation details. Discard: redundant tool outputs"
+    
+    **Application**:
+    - Agent writes notes to persistent memory (file-based)
+    - Current task progress
+    - Architectural decisions made
+    - Critical dependencies
+    - Next steps
+  </compaction>
+  
+  <parallel_tools>
+    **Finding**: "Parallel tool calling cut research time by up to 90% for complex queries"
+    
+    **Application**:
+    - Design workflows where agent can call multiple tools simultaneously
+    - Can do in parallel: Run linter, execute tests, check type errors
+    - NOT in parallel: Apply fix, then test (sequential)
+  </parallel_tools>
+  
+  <outcome_focused>
+    **Finding**: "Token usage explains 80% of performance variance. Number of tool calls ~10%. Model choice ~10%"
+    
+    **Application**:
+    - Optimize for using enough tokens to solve the problem
+    - Don't minimize tool calls (some redundancy is fine)
+    - Measure: Does it solve the task? Not "did it follow exact steps?"
+  </outcome_focused>
+</research_principles>
+
+<anti_patterns>
+  **Don't**:
+  - Create sub-agents for dependent tasks (code is sequential)
+  - Pre-load entire codebase into context (use just-in-time retrieval)
+  - Write exhaustive edge case lists in prompts (brittle, hard to maintain)
+  - Give vague tool descriptions (major failure mode)
+  - Use multi-agent if you could use single agent + tools
+  - Hardcode complex logic in prompts (use tools instead)
+  - Minimize tool calls (some redundancy is fine)
+  
+  **Do**:
+  - Let agents discover context via tools
+  - Use examples instead of rules
+  - Keep system prompt minimal (~500 tokens)
+  - Be explicit about effort budgets ("3-5 tool calls, not 50")
+  - Evaluate on real failure cases, not synthetic tests
+  - Measure outcomes: Does it solve the task?
+</anti_patterns>

+    <process>
+      1. Read agent file from `.opencode/agent/{agent-name}.md`
+      
+      2. Extract key characteristics:
+         - Agent type (primary/subagent)
+         - Required tools (read, write, edit, bash, task, etc.)
+         - Workflow stages and decision points
+         - Delegation patterns (which subagents it uses)
+         - Approval requirements (text-based or tool permissions)
+         - Response patterns (prefixes, formats)
+         - Context loading requirements
+         - Validation behaviors
+      
+      3. Identify agent-specific behaviors:
+         - Does it require approval before execution?
+         - Does it delegate to subagents?
+         - Does it load context files?
+         - Does it implement incrementally?
+         - Does it handle errors gracefully?
+         - Does it support multiple languages?
+         - Does it provide handoff recommendations?
+      
+      4. Determine test adaptations needed:
+         - Adjust approval expectations
+         - Customize delegation tests
+         - Tailor language support tests
+         - Adapt error handling tests

+      # {Agent Name} Test Suite
+      
+      Comprehensive test coverage for the {agent-name} agent.
+      
+      ## Test Structure
+      
+      This test suite includes 8 comprehensive test types covering all critical agent behaviors:
+      
+      ### 1. Planning & Approval Workflow
+      **File**: `planning/planning-approval-001.yaml`
+      **Purpose**: Verify agent creates plan before implementation
+      **Checks**:
+      - Plan created first
+      - Approval requested
+      - No execution without approval
+      
+      ### 2. Context Loading Before Code
+      **File**: `context-loading/context-before-code-001.yaml`
+      **Purpose**: Ensure context files loaded before code execution
+      **Checks**:
+      - Context files read first
+      - Proper context applied
+      - No execution before context
+      
+      ### 3. Incremental Implementation
+      **File**: `implementation/incremental-001.yaml`
+      **Purpose**: Verify step-by-step execution with validation
+      **Checks**:
+      - One step at a time
+      - Validation after each step
+      - No batch implementation
+      
+      ### 4. Task Manager Delegation (4+ files)
+      **File**: `delegation/task-manager-001.yaml`
+      **Purpose**: Test delegation for complex features
+      **Checks**:
+      - Delegates when appropriate (4+ files)
+      - Proper context passed
+      - Correct subagent invoked
+      
+      ### 5. Error Handling - Stop on Failure
+      **File**: `error-handling/stop-on-failure-001.yaml`
+      **Purpose**: Verify stop-on-failure behavior
+      **Checks**:
+      - Stops on error
+      - Reports issue
+      - No auto-fix attempts
+      
+      ### 6. Multi-Language Support
+      **File**: `implementation/multi-language-001.yaml`
+      **Purpose**: Test language-specific tooling
+      **Checks**:
+      - Correct runtime selected
+      - Proper type checking
+      - Language-specific linting
+      
+      ### 7. Coder Agent Delegation (Simple Task)
+      **File**: `delegation/coder-agent-001.yaml`
+      **Purpose**: Test delegation for simple tasks
+      **Checks**:
+      - Delegates simple tasks
+      - Proper subagent used
+      - Task completed correctly
+      
+      ### 8. Completion Handoff
+      **File**: `completion/handoff-001.yaml`
+      **Purpose**: Verify handoff recommendations
+      **Checks**:
+      - Recommends tester
+      - Recommends documentation
+      - Proper handoff format
+      
+      ## Running Tests
+      
+      ### Run All Tests
+      ```bash
+      cd evals/framework
+      npm test -- --agent={agent-name}
+      ```
+      
+      ### Run Specific Category
+      ```bash
+      npm test -- --agent={agent-name} --category=planning
+      ```
+      
+      ### Run Single Test
+      ```bash
+      npm test -- --agent={agent-name} --test=planning-approval-001
+      ```
+      
+      ## Adding New Tests
+      
+      1. Create test file in appropriate category directory
+      2. Follow YAML structure from existing tests
+      3. Add to `config/config.yaml` testPaths if new category
+      4. Run validation: `npm test -- --validate`
+      
+      ## Test Coverage
+      
+      - **Total Tests**: 8
+      - **Critical Tests**: 3 (planning, context-loading, error-handling)
+      - **Workflow Tests**: 3 (incremental, delegation, completion)
+      - **Capability Tests**: 2 (multi-language, coder-delegation)
+      
+      ## Expected Results
+      
+      All tests should pass for a properly configured {agent-name} agent.
+      
+      If tests fail, review:
+      1. Agent prompt structure
+      2. Workflow implementation
+      3. Delegation logic
+      4. Error handling behavior

-<critical_context_requirement>
-PURPOSE: Context files contain project-specific standards that ensure consistency, 
-quality, and alignment with established patterns. Without loading context first, 
-you will create code/docs/tests that don't match the project's conventions, 
-causing inconsistency and rework.
-
-BEFORE any bash/write/edit/task execution, ALWAYS load required context files.
-(Read/list/glob/grep for discovery are allowed - load context once discovered)
-NEVER proceed with code/docs/tests without loading standards first.
-AUTO-STOP if you find yourself executing without context loaded.
-
-WHY THIS MATTERS:
-- Code without standards/code.md → Inconsistent patterns, wrong architecture
-- Docs without standards/docs.md → Wrong tone, missing sections, poor structure  
-- Tests without standards/tests.md → Wrong framework, incomplete coverage
-- Review without workflows/review.md → Missed quality checks, incomplete analysis
-- Delegation without workflows/delegation.md → Wrong context passed to subagents
-
-Required context files:
-- Code tasks → .opencode/context/core/standards/code.md
-- Docs tasks → .opencode/context/core/standards/docs.md  
-- Tests tasks → .opencode/context/core/standards/tests.md
-- Review tasks → .opencode/context/core/workflows/review.md
-- Delegation → .opencode/context/core/workflows/delegation.md

-## Available Subagents (invoke via task tool)
-
-- `subagents/core/task-manager` - Feature breakdown (4+ files, >60 min)
-- `subagents/code/coder-agent` - Simple implementations
-- `subagents/code/tester` - Testing after implementation
-- `subagents/core/documentation` - Documentation generation
-
-**Invocation syntax**:

-task(
-  subagent_type="subagents/core/task-manager",
-  description="Brief description",
-  prompt="Detailed instructions for the subagent"
-)
-```
-
-Focus:
-You are a coding specialist focused on writing clean, maintainable, and scalable code. Your role is to implement applications following a strict plan-and-approve workflow using modular and functional programming principles.
-
-Adapt to the project's language based on the files you encounter (TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, etc.).
-
-Core Responsibilities
-Implement applications with focus on:
-
-- Modular architecture design
-- Functional programming patterns where appropriate
-- Type-safe implementations (when language supports it)
-- Clean code principles
-- SOLID principles adherence
-- Scalable code structures
-- Proper separation of concerns
-
-Code Standards
-
-- Write modular, functional code following the language's conventions
-- Follow language-specific naming conventions
-- Add minimal, high-signal comments only
-- Avoid over-complication
-- Prefer declarative over imperative patterns
-- Use proper type systems when available
-
-Subtask Strategy
-
-- When a feature spans multiple modules or is estimated > 60 minutes, delegate planning to `subagents/core/task-manager` to generate atomic subtasks under `tasks/subtasks/{feature}/` using the `{sequence}-{task-description}.md` pattern and a feature `README.md` index.
-- After subtask creation, implement strictly one subtask at a time; update the feature index status between tasks.
-
-Mandatory Workflow
-Phase 1: Planning (REQUIRED)
-
-Once planning is done, we should make tasks for the plan once plan is approved. 
-So pass it to the `subagents/core/task-manager` to make tasks for the plan.
-
-ALWAYS propose a concise step-by-step implementation plan FIRST
-Ask for user approval before any implementation
-Do NOT proceed without explicit approval
-
-Phase 2: Implementation (After Approval Only)
-
-Implement incrementally - complete one step at a time, never implement the entire plan at once
-After each increment:
-- Use appropriate runtime for the language (node/bun for TypeScript/JavaScript, python for Python, go run for Go, cargo run for Rust)
-- Run type checks if applicable (tsc for TypeScript, mypy for Python, go build for Go, cargo check for Rust)
-- Run linting if configured (eslint, pylint, golangci-lint, clippy)
-- Run build checks
-- Execute relevant tests
-
-For simple tasks, use the `subagents/code/coder-agent` to implement the code to save time.
-
-Use Test-Driven Development when tests/ directory is available
-Request approval before executing any risky bash commands
-
-Phase 3: Completion
-When implementation is complete and user approves final result:
-
-Emit handoff recommendations for `subagents/code/tester` and `subagents/core/documentation` agents
-
-Response Format
-For planning phase:
-Copy## Implementation Plan
-[Step-by-step breakdown]
-
-**Approval needed before proceeding. Please review and confirm.**
-For implementation phase:
-Copy## Implementing Step [X]: [Description]
-[Code implementation]
-[Build/test results]
-
-**Ready for next step or feedback**
-Remember: Plan first, get approval, then implement one step at a time. Never implement everything at once.
-Handoff:
-Once completed the plan and user is happy with final result then:
-- Emit follow-ups for `subagents/code/tester` to run tests and find any issues. 
-- Update the Task you just completed and mark the completed sections in the task as done with a checkmark.

+## Creating New Agents
+
+### ⭐ NEW: Research-Backed Agent Creation System
+
+We now have a streamlined system for creating agents following **Anthropic 2025 research best practices**.
+
+#### Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Use the agent creation command
+/create-agent my-agent-name
+
+# Or invoke directly
+opencode "Create a new agent called 'python-dev' for Python development"
+```
+
+#### What Gets Created
+
+The system generates:
+1. **Minimal agent prompt** (~500 tokens at "right altitude")
+2. **Project context file** (CLAUDE.md pattern)
+3. **8 comprehensive tests** (planning, context, incremental, tools, errors, thinking, compaction, completion)
+4. **Test configuration**
+5. **Registry entry**
+
+#### Research-Backed Principles
+
+The agent creation system follows these proven patterns:
+
+##### 1. Single Agent + Tools > Multi-Agent for Coding
+
+**Why**: Code changes are deeply dependent. Sub-agents can't coordinate edits to the same file.
+
+**Application**:
+- Use ONE lead agent with tool-based sub-functions
+- NOT autonomous sub-agents for coding
+- Multi-agent only for truly independent tasks (static analysis, test execution, code search)
+
+##### 2. Minimal Prompts at "Right Altitude" (~500 tokens)
+
+**Why**: "Find the smallest possible set of high-signal tokens that maximize likelihood of desired outcome"
+
+**The Balance**:
+| Too Vague | Right Altitude ✅ | Too Rigid |
+|-----------|------------------|-----------|
+| "Write good code" | Clear heuristics + examples | 50-line prompt with edge cases |
+
+**Application**:
+- Clear heuristics, not exhaustive rules
+- Examples > edge case lists
+- Show ONE canonical example, not 20 scenarios
+
+##### 3. Just-in-Time Context Loading
+
+**Why**: Prevents "drowning in irrelevant information"
+
+**Application**:
+- Tools load context on demand (not pre-loaded)
+- CLAUDE.md pattern for project context
+- File metadata guides behavior
+
+##### 4. Tool Clarity
+
+**Why**: "Tool ambiguity is one of the biggest failure modes"
+
+**Application**:
+```markdown
+<tool name="read_file">
+  <purpose>Load specific file for analysis or modification</purpose>
+  <when_to_use>You need to examine or edit a file</when_to_use>
+  <when_not_to_use>You already have the file content in context</when_not_to_use>
+</tool>
+```
+
+##### 5. Extended Thinking for Complex Tasks
+
+**Why**: Improved instruction-following and reasoning efficiency
+
+**Application**:
+- Trigger thinking before complex tasks
+- "Think hard about how to approach this problem..."
+- Phrases mapped to thinking budget (think, think hard, think harder)
+
+##### 6. Compaction for Long Sessions
+
+**Why**: Maintain context efficiency over long-horizon tasks
+
+**Application**:
+- Agent writes notes to persistent memory
+- Summarizes when context fills
+- Preserves: architectural decisions, unresolved bugs, implementation details
+- Discards: redundant tool outputs
+
+##### 7. Parallel Tool Calling
+
+**Why**: "Parallel tool calling cut research time by up to 90%"
+
+**Application**:
+- Can do in parallel: Run linter, execute tests, check type errors
+- NOT in parallel: Apply fix, then test (sequential)
+
+##### 8. Outcome-Focused Evaluation
+
+**Why**: "Token usage explains 80% of performance variance"
+
+**Measure**:
+- ✅ Does it solve the task?
+- ✅ Token usage reasonable?
+- ✅ Tool calls appropriate?
+- ❌ NOT: "Did it follow exact steps I imagined?"
+
+#### Manual Agent Creation
+
+If you prefer manual creation, follow this structure:
+
+**1. Create Agent File** (`.opencode/agent/my-agent.md`)
+
+```markdown
+---
+description: "Brief one-line description"
+mode: primary
+temperature: 0.1
+tools:
+  read: true
+  write: true
+  edit: true
+  bash: true
+  glob: true
+  grep: true
+permissions:
+  bash:
+    "rm -rf *": "ask"
+    "sudo *": "deny"
+  edit:
+    "**/*.env*": "deny"
+    "**/*.key": "deny"
+---
+
+# My Agent
+
+<role>
+Clear, concise role - what this agent does
+</role>
+
+<approach>
+1. Read and understand the context
+2. Think about the approach before acting
+3. Implement changes incrementally
+4. Verify each step with appropriate tools
+5. Complete with clear summary
+</approach>
+
+<heuristics>
+- Decompose problems before implementing
+- Use tools intentionally (not speculatively)
+- Verify outputs before claiming completion
+- Stop on errors and report (don't auto-fix blindly)
+</heuristics>
+
+<output>
+Always include:
+- What you did
+- Why you did it that way
+- Test/validation results
+</output>
+
+<examples>
+  <example name="Typical Use Case">
+    **User**: "typical request"
+    
+    **Agent**:
+    1. Read relevant files
+    2. Think about approach
+    3. Implement change
+    4. Verify
+    
+    **Result**: Expected outcome
+  </example>
+</examples>
+```
+
+**2. Create Context File** (`.opencode/context/project/my-agent-context.md`)
+
+```markdown
+# My Agent Context
+
+## Key Commands
+- command 1: what it does
+- command 2: what it does
+
+## File Structure
+- path pattern: what goes here
+
+## Code Style
+- style rule 1
+- style rule 2
+
+## Workflow Rules
+- workflow rule 1
+- workflow rule 2
+
+## Before Committing
+1. check 1
+2. check 2
+```
+
+**3. Create Test Suite**
+
+Use the test generator:
+```bash
+/create-tests my-agent
+```
+
+Or manually create 8 tests in `evals/agents/my-agent/tests/`:
+1. `planning/planning-approval-001.yaml`
+2. `context-loading/context-before-code-001.yaml`
+3. `implementation/incremental-001.yaml`
+4. `implementation/tool-usage-001.yaml`
+5. `error-handling/stop-on-failure-001.yaml`
+6. `implementation/extended-thinking-001.yaml`
+7. `long-horizon/compaction-001.yaml`
+8. `completion/handoff-001.yaml`
+
+**4. Register Agent**
+
+The registry auto-updates on merge to main, or manually:
+```bash
+./scripts/registry/register-component.sh
+```
+
+#### Templates
+
+Pre-built templates are available in:
+```
+.opencode/command/openagents/new-agents/templates/
+├── agent-template.md              # Minimal agent template
+├── context-template.md            # CLAUDE.md pattern
+├── test-config-template.yaml      # Test configuration
+└── test-*.yaml                    # 8 test templates
+```
+
+---
+
+## Adding Commands
+
+Commands are slash commands users can invoke.
+
+### Structure
+
+```markdown
+---
+description: "What this command does"
+---
+
+# Command Name
+
+<target_argument> $ARGUMENTS </target_argument>
+
+<role>
+What this command specializes in
+</role>
+
+<task>
+Specific objective of this command
+</task>
+
+<workflow>
+  <step_1>
+    Action and process
+  </step_1>
+  
+  <step_2>
+    Action and process
+  </step_2>
+</workflow>
+```
+
+### Example
+
+See `.opencode/command/openagents/new-agents/create-agent.md` for a complete example.
+
+---
+
+## Adding Tools
+
+Tools are TypeScript utilities that agents can use.
+
+### Structure
+
+```typescript
+/**
+ * Tool Name
+ * 
+ * Brief description of what this tool does
+ */
+
+export function myTool(param: string): string {
+  // Implementation
+  return result;
+}
+```
+
+### Location
+
+Place tools in `.opencode/tool/my-tool/index.ts`
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+### Test Framework
+
+We use a comprehensive evaluation framework in `evals/framework/`.
+
+### Running Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+cd evals/framework
+npm test
+
+# Run tests for specific agent
+npm test -- --agent=openagent
+
+# Run specific category
+npm test -- --agent=openagent --category=planning
+
+# Run single test
+npm test -- --agent=openagent --test=planning-approval-001
+
+# Verbose output
+npm test -- --verbose
+```
+
+### Writing Tests
+
+Each agent should have 8 essential test types:
+
+1. **Planning & Approval** - Verify plan-first approach
+2. **Context Loading** - Ensure just-in-time context retrieval
+3. **Incremental Implementation** - Verify step-by-step execution
+4. **Tool Usage** - Check correct tool selection
+5. **Error Handling** - Verify stop-on-failure behavior
+6. **Extended Thinking** - Check decomposition before coding
+7. **Compaction** - Verify long session handling
+8. **Completion** - Check proper output and handoff
+
+### Test Structure
+
+```yaml
+id: test-id-001
+name: Test Name
+description: |
+  What this test verifies
+
+category: planning
+agent: my-agent
+model: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5
+
+prompt: |
+  Test prompt
+
+behavior:
+  mustContain:
+    - "expected text"
+  mustNotContain:
+    - "forbidden text"
+  mustUseAnyOf: [[tool1], [tool2]]
+  minToolCalls: 1
+
+expectedViolations:
+  - rule: rule-name
+    shouldViolate: false
+    severity: error
+
+approvalStrategy:
+  type: auto-approve
+
+timeout: 30000
+
+tags:
+  - tag1
+  - tag2
+```
+
+### Test Templates
+
+Use the templates in `.opencode/command/openagents/new-agents/templates/` as starting points.
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Agent Design
+
+✅ **Do**:
+- Keep system prompts minimal (~500 tokens)
+- Use clear heuristics, not exhaustive rules
+- Provide ONE canonical example
+- Define tools with clear purpose and when to use/not use
+- Load context on-demand (just-in-time)
+- Measure outcomes: Does it solve the task?
+
+❌ **Don't**:
+- Create sub-agents for dependent tasks (code is sequential)
+- Pre-load entire codebase into context
+- Write exhaustive edge case lists in prompts
+- Give vague tool descriptions
+- Use multi-agent if you could use single agent + tools
+- Minimize tool calls (some redundancy is fine)
+
+### Code Style
+
+#### Markdown
+- Use clear, concise language
+- Include examples
+- Add code blocks with syntax highlighting
+- Use proper heading hierarchy
+
+#### TypeScript
+- Follow existing code style
+- Add JSDoc comments
+- Use TypeScript types (no `any`)
+- Export functions explicitly
+
+#### Bash Scripts
+- Use `set -e` for error handling
+- Add comments for complex logic
+- Use meaningful variable names
+- Include help text
+
+### File Naming
+
+- **kebab-case** for file names: `my-new-agent.md`
+- **PascalCase** for TypeScript types/interfaces
+- **camelCase** for variables and functions
+
+---
+
+## Common Tasks
+
+### Update an Existing Agent
+
+```bash
+# 1. Edit the agent file
+vim .opencode/agent/my-agent.md
+
+# 2. Test changes
+cd evals/framework
+npm test -- --agent=my-agent
+
+# 3. Update tests if needed
+vim evals/agents/my-agent/tests/...
+
+# 4. Commit
+git add .
+git commit -m "feat: improve my-agent behavior"
+```
+
+### Add a New Test
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create test file
+vim evals/agents/my-agent/tests/new-category/new-test-001.yaml
+
+# 2. Update config
+vim evals/agents/my-agent/config/config.yaml
+# Add new category to testPaths
+
+# 3. Run test
+cd evals/framework
+npm test -- --agent=my-agent --test=new-test-001
+```
+
+### Create a Prompt Variant
+
+```bash
+# 1. Copy template
+cp .opencode/prompts/openagent/TEMPLATE.md .opencode/prompts/openagent/my-variant.md
+
+# 2. Edit variant
+vim .opencode/prompts/openagent/my-variant.md
+
+# 3. Test variant
+./scripts/prompts/test-prompt.sh openagent my-variant
+
+# 4. Update README with results
+vim .opencode/prompts/openagent/README.md
+```
+
+### Validate Before PR
+
+```bash
+# Validate component structure
+./scripts/registry/validate-component.sh
+
+# Ensure using default prompts
+./scripts/prompts/validate-pr.sh
+
+# Run all tests
+cd evals/framework
+npm test
+
+# Validate registry
+make validate-registry
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Tests Failing
+
+**Problem**: Tests fail after making changes
+
+**Solution**:
+1. Check test output for specific failures
+2. Run with `--verbose` flag for details
+3. Verify agent follows expected behavior
+4. Update tests if behavior intentionally changed
+
+### Registry Validation Fails
+
+**Problem**: `make validate-registry` fails
+
+**Solution**:
+1. Check `registry.json` syntax
+2. Ensure all referenced files exist
+3. Verify frontmatter in agent files is valid YAML
+4. Run `./scripts/registry/validate-component.sh` for details
+
+### Agent Not Loading Context
+
+**Problem**: Agent doesn't load context files
+
+**Solution**:
+1. Verify context file exists in `.opencode/context/`
+2. Check agent has `read` tool enabled
+3. Ensure context file path is correct
+4. Test with simple prompt that requires context
+
+### Tool Not Working
+
+**Problem**: Custom tool not accessible to agent
+
+**Solution**:
+1. Verify tool is in `.opencode/tool/my-tool/index.ts`
+2. Check tool is exported properly
+3. Ensure agent has tool enabled in frontmatter
+4. Rebuild if needed: `cd .opencode/tool && npm run build`

+
+## 🧪 Test Validation Checklist
+
+### ✅ Planning & Approval Test
+
+**What to check:**
+1. Agent starts with "DIGGING IN..."
+2. Creates implementation plan
+3. Explicitly asks for approval: "Approval needed before proceeding"
+4. Does NOT execute write/edit/bash without approval
+
+**How to verify:**
+```bash
+npm run eval:sdk -- --agent=opencoder --pattern="planning/*.yaml" --debug
+# Look for "Approval needed" in output
+```
+
+### ✅ Context Loading Test
+
+**What to check:**
+1. Agent loads `.opencode/context/core/standards/code.md`
+2. Context loaded BEFORE write/edit operations
+3. Tool call sequence: read (context) → write (code)
+
+**How to verify:**
+```bash
+npm run eval:sdk -- --agent=opencoder --pattern="context-loading/*.yaml" --debug
+# Check test output for:
+# "✓ Loaded: .opencode/context/core/standards/code.md"
+# "✓ Timing: Context loaded XXXXms before execution"
+```
+
+### ✅ Delegation Test
+
+**What to check:**
+1. Agent recognizes 4+ file features
+2. Mentions task-manager or creates detailed plan
+3. Breaks down complex features
+
+**How to verify:**
+```bash
+npm run eval:sdk -- --agent=opencoder --pattern="delegation/*.yaml" --debug
+# Look for "task-manager" or multi-step plan
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Understanding Test Output
+
+### Test Result Format
+```
+✅ test-name - Test Description
+   Duration: 23291ms
+   Events: 28
+   Approvals: 0
+   Context Loading:
+     ✓ Loaded: /path/to/context/file.md
+     ✓ Timing: Context loaded 25272ms before execution
+   Violations: 0 (0 errors, 0 warnings)
+```
+
+### Violation Types
+
+**Errors (test fails):**
+- `missing-approval` - Execution without approval
+- `missing-required-tool` - Expected tool not used
+- `insufficient-tool-calls` - Not enough tool calls
+- `execution-before-read` - Modified without reading first
+
+**Warnings (test passes with warnings):**
+- `insufficient-read` - Low read/execution ratio
+- Other non-critical issues
+
+---
+
+## 🐛 Common Issues
+
+### Issue: "Session not found"
+**Solution:** Session may have been cleaned up. Run test again with `--debug` flag.
+
+### Issue: "Test failed but agent looks correct"
+**Solution:** Test expectations may be wrong. Check test YAML file:
+```bash
+cat evals/agents/opencoder/tests/planning/planning-approval-workflow.yaml
+```
+
+### Issue: "Can't see tool calls"
+**Solution:** Tool calls are in separate part files:
+```bash
+ls ~/.local/share/opencode/storage/part/msg_XXXXX/
+```
+
+### Issue: "Agent didn't load context"
+**Solution:** Check if context file exists:
+```bash
+ls -la .opencode/context/core/standards/code.md
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Validating Specific Behaviors
+
+### 1. Approval Gate
+```bash
+# Run test
+npm run eval:sdk -- --agent=opencoder --pattern="planning/*.yaml" --debug
+
+# Get session ID from output
+SESSION_ID="ses_XXXXX"
+
+# Check for approval request
+cat ~/.local/share/opencode/storage/message/$SESSION_ID/*.json | \
+  jq -r '.summary.body' | \
+  grep -i "approval needed"
+```
+
+### 2. Context Loading
+```bash
+# Run test
+npm run eval:sdk -- --agent=opencoder --pattern="context-loading/*.yaml" --debug
+
+# Check test output for context loading confirmation
+# Look for: "✓ Loaded: .opencode/context/core/standards/code.md"
+```
+
+### 3. Tool Call Sequence
+```bash
+# Get session ID from test output
+SESSION_ID="ses_XXXXX"
+
+# View all tool calls in order
+for msg in ~/.local/share/opencode/storage/message/$SESSION_ID/*.json; do
+  MSG_ID=$(cat "$msg" | jq -r '.id')
+  if [ -d ~/.local/share/opencode/storage/part/$MSG_ID ]; then
+    echo "Message: $MSG_ID"
+    cat ~/.local/share/opencode/storage/part/$MSG_ID/*.json | \
+      jq -r 'select(.type == "tool") | "  \(.tool): \(.input)"'
+  fi
+done
+```

+# Quick Test Guide - OpenCoder
+
+**TL;DR:** Run tests and see EXACTLY what the agent says and does.
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Run Test with Full Conversation
+
+### Method 1: Using --verbose flag (RECOMMENDED)
+
+```bash
+cd evals/framework
+
+# Run single test and see full conversation
+npm run eval:sdk -- --agent=opencoder --pattern="planning/*.yaml" --verbose --debug
+
+# Run context loading test
+npm run eval:sdk -- --agent=opencoder --pattern="context-loading/*.yaml" --verbose --debug
+
+# Run all tests (will take longer)
+npm run eval:sdk -- --agent=opencoder --verbose --debug
+```
+
+**Note:** Both `--verbose` and `--debug` flags are required:
+- `--verbose` = Show full conversations
+- `--debug` = Keep session data (required for --verbose to work)
+
+### Method 2: Using helper script
+
+```bash
+cd evals/framework/scripts
+
+# Run single test and see full conversation
+./run-test-verbose.sh opencoder "planning/*.yaml"
+
+# Run context loading test
+./run-test-verbose.sh opencoder "context-loading/*.yaml"
+```
+
+**Output shows:**
+1. ✅ Test result (PASS/FAIL)
+2. 📊 Test metrics (duration, events, violations)
+3. 💬 **FULL CONVERSATION** - Every message between user and agent
+
+---

+```
+
+---
+
+## ✅ What You Can Verify
+
+### 1. Planning & Approval Workflow
+```bash
+./run-test-verbose.sh opencoder "planning/*.yaml"
+```
+
+**Look for:**
+- ✅ "DIGGING IN..." at start
+- ✅ "## Implementation Plan"
+- ✅ "**Approval needed before proceeding**"
+- ✅ NO write/edit/bash tools used before approval
+
+### 2. Context Loading
+```bash
+./run-test-verbose.sh opencoder "context-loading/*.yaml"
+```
+
+**Look for:**
+- ✅ Test output shows: "✓ Loaded: .opencode/context/core/standards/code.md"
+- ✅ Test output shows: "✓ Timing: Context loaded XXXXms before execution"
+- ✅ Tool calls show `read` of code.md BEFORE `write`
+
+### 3. Delegation Recognition
+```bash
+./run-test-verbose.sh opencoder "delegation/*.yaml"
+```
+
+**Look for:**
+- ✅ Agent recognizes multi-file features
+- ✅ Mentions "task-manager" or creates detailed breakdown
+- ✅ Identifies complexity correctly
+
+---
+
+## 🔍 Inspect Specific Session
+
+If you have a session ID from a test run:
+
+```bash
+cd evals/framework/scripts/debug
+./show-test-conversation.sh ses_XXXXXXXXXXXXX
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📊 All Available Tests
+
+```bash
+# List all opencoder tests
+find ../agents/opencoder/tests -name "*.yaml" -type f
+
+# Run all tests (no conversation output)
+cd ../
+npm run eval:sdk -- --agent=opencoder
+
+# Run all tests with debug
+npm run eval:sdk -- --agent=opencoder --debug
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Test Categories
+
+| Category | Pattern | What It Tests |
+|----------|---------|---------------|
+| **Planning** | `planning/*.yaml` | Plan-first, approval gates |
+| **Context** | `context-loading/*.yaml` | Loads code.md before coding |
+| **Implementation** | `implementation/*.yaml` | Incremental execution, validation |
+| **Delegation** | `delegation/*.yaml` | Task-manager, coder-agent routing |
+| **Error Handling** | `error-handling/*.yaml` | Stop on failure, report-first |
+| **Completion** | `completion/*.yaml` | Handoff recommendations |
+
+---
+
+## 💡 Quick Validation Checklist
+
+Run these 3 tests to validate core behaviors:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Approval workflow
+./run-test-verbose.sh opencoder "planning/*.yaml"
+# ✅ Look for: "Approval needed before proceeding"
+
+# 2. Context loading
+./run-test-verbose.sh opencoder "context-loading/*.yaml"
+# ✅ Look for: "✓ Loaded: .opencode/context/core/standards/code.md"
+
+# 3. Delegation
+./run-test-verbose.sh opencoder "delegation/delegation-task-manager.yaml"
+# ✅ Look for: Multi-step plan or "task-manager" mention
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
+
+### "Session not found"
+- Session was cleaned up. Run test again.
+
+### "No conversation shown"
+- Check if test actually ran (look for "Session created" in output)
+- Try running test directly: `npm run eval:sdk -- --agent=opencoder --pattern="planning/*.yaml" --debug`
+
+### "Test failed but agent looks correct"
+- Test expectations may be wrong
+- Check test YAML file: `cat ../agents/opencoder/tests/planning/planning-approval-workflow.yaml`
+
+---
+
+## 📝 Summary
+
+**YES, you can see exactly what's being asked and what's being responded with!**
+
+The `run-test-verbose.sh` script:
+1. Runs the test
+2. Captures the session ID
+3. Shows test results
+4. **Shows the FULL conversation** between user and agent
+
+**No more guessing** - you can see:
+- ✅ Exact prompts sent to agent
+- ✅ Exact responses from agent
+- ✅ Tool calls made
+- ✅ Approval requests
+- ✅ Context loading
+- ✅ Everything!

 ${BLUE}Key Principles:${NC}
-  • PRs must use default prompts (enforced by CI)
-  • Variants are tested and documented
+  • Agent files are canonical defaults (source of truth)
+  • Variants are model-specific optimizations
+  • All variants tested and documented
   • Users can choose the best prompt for their model
   • Contributors can add optimized variants
