feat: OpenCode-compliant agents with centralized metadata system (#151)

* chore: bump version to v0.8.0

* chore: update version to 0.7.1 instead of 0.8.0

* docs: expand comparison table with Oh My OpenCode and additional features

* backup: development context before reorganization

* refactor(context): reorganize development folder

- Remove 7 duplicate files (ui/design files exist in ui/web/)
- Remove 2 redundant READMEs (use navigation.md instead)
- Move react-patterns.md to frontend/react/
- Create frontend/react/navigation.md
- Update 4 navigation files (development, ui, frontend, frontend/react)
- Update developer profile (4 path changes: ui-styling-standards, design-systems, design-assets, animation-patterns)
- Update 3 core context files (visual-development.md, design-iteration.md, file-locations.md)

Result: 29 context files (down from 36), no duplicates, clean structure

Refs: REORGANIZATION_PLAN.md, REORGANIZATION_SUMMARY.md

* docs(context): add frontend delegation guide

- Create when-to-delegate.md with clear decision criteria
- Decision matrix for when to delegate vs. handle directly
- Common patterns and examples
- Red flags and green flags
- Frontend-specialist capabilities reference
- Update frontend and development navigation files

Helps orchestrators decide when to delegate UI work to frontend-specialist subagent.

* feat: enhance developer and advanced profiles with UI, development, and system builder context

- Developer profile: Add UI/UX patterns, development principles, design systems, React patterns, animation patterns, styling standards, and design assets
- Full profile: Add same UI/development context as developer profile for consistency
- Advanced profile: Add comprehensive system builder context including templates, guides, context system standards, and repository management context
- Update profile descriptions to reflect new capabilities
- All context files verified to exist and are properly referenced

* fix: remove duplicate context entries with incorrect paths

- Remove duplicate design-assets, ui-styling-standards, clean-code, animation-patterns, design-systems, react-patterns, and api-design entries that pointed to wrong paths
- Remove non-existent development-readme and mastra-ai-readme entries
- Keep only correct entries with proper file paths
- All registry paths now validated and correct

* feat: add add-context command to registry and all profiles

- Register add-context command in registry.json
- Add command:add-context to all 5 profiles (essential, developer, business, full, advanced)
- Update add-context.md to mention external-context files in .tmp/ directory
- Fix command dependencies to use context IDs instead of full paths
- All registry paths and dependencies validated

* feat: enhance add-context with external context file management

- Add Stage 0: Detect external context files in .tmp/
- Offer options to extract, manage, or harvest external files
- Extract patterns from external context files for use in project intelligence
- Provide management options: update, remove, clean, or harvest
- Add examples showing external context extraction and management
- Update troubleshooting with external context file handling
- Integrate with /context harvest command for permanent context organization

* fix: comprehensive context system audit and restructuring

- Fix 6 command documentation inconsistencies in add-context.md
  * Correct /add-context vs /context harvest command references
  * Simplify Stage 0 workflow from 4 to 2 options
  * Update examples to match actual behavior
  * Remove non-existent operations from delegation section
  * Fix troubleshooting Q&A section

- Restructure registry.json with 4 major improvements
  * Replace 31 duplicate 'navigation' IDs with unique IDs per subfolder
    - core-navigation, development-navigation, openagents-repo-navigation, etc.
  * Add context:openagents-repo/* to developer and full profiles
    - Developers now have repo-specific guides and examples
  * Remove context:to-be-consumed/* from essential, developer, business, full
    - Keep only in advanced profile for system builders
  * Properly scope mastra-ai context via wildcard patterns

Validation Results:
- Registry: 220/220 paths valid, 0 missing dependencies
- Profiles: All appropriately scoped with no duplicate IDs
- Standards: MVI compliance, frontmatter, structure verified
- No regressions: All tests passing

Fixes issues with context organization, command consistency, and profile coverage.

* feat: make agents OpenCode-compliant with centralized metadata system

- Remove invalid OpenCode fields from agent frontmatter (id, category, type, version, author, tags, dependencies, context, permissions)
- Keep only valid OpenCode fields (name, description, mode, temperature, tools, permission)
- Create centralized metadata file (.opencode/config/agent-metadata.json) for registry metadata
- Update auto-detect script to merge frontmatter + metadata into registry
- Fix YAML parsing errors (orphaned list items after valid fields)
- Add comprehensive documentation for new metadata system
- All 27 agents now OpenCode-compliant and callable by name

Fixes validation errors:
- Extra inputs are not permitted (9 fields)
- Invalid temperature type (string instead of number)

Benefits:
- OpenCode validation passes without errors
- Registry maintains complete metadata (id, name, category, tags, dependencies)
- Single source of truth for agent metadata
- Easier to maintain and update dependencies
- Backward compatible with existing tools

* fix: correct context dependency IDs to match registry

- Update context dependencies to use actual registry IDs
- Fix: context:core/standards/code → context:standards-code
- Fix: context:core/workflows/task-delegation → context:workflows-delegation
- Fix: context:delegation → context:delegation-ref
- Fix: context:review → context:review-ref
- Fix: invalid dependency in agent-metadata.md documentation
- All registry validation now passes

* chore: add navigation files and update workflow context

- Add navigation.md files for all context directories
- Update design-iteration.md and task-delegation.md workflows
- Clean up backup files from metadata fixes

* fix: install dependencies in validate-registry workflow

The validation script requires the 'glob' package which is in devDependencies.
CI was failing because dependencies were never installed before running validation.

* fix: show validation errors in CI logs

Use tee to display validation output in logs while also saving to file.
This makes debugging CI failures much easier.

* fix: remove duplicate pull_request trigger

The workflow was running twice (pull_request + pull_request_target) causing
duplicate checks. Keep only pull_request_target to support bot PRs and allow
writing to PR branches.

* chore: trigger CI re-run with fixed workflow

-## Workflow
-
-### Step 1: Call ContextScout
-
-Load build standards before running anything (see above).

-### Step 2: Detect Language
-
-Check for these files to identify the project language:
-
-| File | Language | Type Check | Build |
-|------|----------|------------|-------|
-| `package.json` | TypeScript/JavaScript | `tsc` | `npm run build` / `yarn build` / `pnpm build` |
-| `requirements.txt` | Python | `mypy .` | `python -m build` |
-| `go.mod` | Go | `go build ./...` | `go build ./...` |
-| `Cargo.toml` | Rust | `cargo check` | `cargo build` |
-
-### Step 3: Type Check
-
-Run the appropriate type checker for the detected language. Report any errors with:
-- File path
-- Line number
-- Error description
-- What's expected vs. what was found
-
-### Step 4: Build
-
-Run the appropriate build command. Report any errors with full context.
-
-### Step 5: Report Results

-
-### Step 1: Analyze Request & Load Context
-
-1. Read the review request — what files, what focus areas
-2. **Call ContextScout** to load review standards (see above)
-3. Read all files under review
-
-### Step 2: Share Review Plan
-
-Present a short plan before diving in:
-- Files to inspect
-- Concerns to focus on (including security aspects)
-- Ask to proceed
-
-### Step 3: Perform Review
-
-Scan in this priority order:
-1. **Security** — XSS, injection, insecure dependencies, hardcoded secrets, missing validation
-2. **Correctness** — Logic errors, edge cases, error handling gaps
-3. **Style & Conventions** — Naming, structure, alignment with project patterns
-4. **Performance** — Inefficient queries, unnecessary re-renders, memory leaks
-5. **Maintainability** — Coupling, complexity, missing comments on non-obvious logic

-### Behaviors to Test:
-1. [Behavior 1]
    - ✅ Positive: [expected success outcome]

-- Pattern: Arrange-Act-Assert
-- Mocks: [external deps to mock]
-
-Request approval before implementation.
-```
-
-### Step 4: Implement Tests
-
-For each behavior:
-1. Write positive test (success case) with AAA pattern
-2. Write negative test (failure/edge case) with AAA pattern
-3. Add comment linking test to objective
-4. Mock all external dependencies
-
-### Step 5: Run & Verify
-

-## 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.

-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

-## Workflow
-
-### Step 1: Call ContextScout
-
-Load documentation standards before writing anything (see above).
-
-### Step 2: Analyze What Needs Documenting
-
-- What changed or was created?
-- What existing docs need updating?
-- What's the audience (developer, user, ops)?
-
-### Step 3: Propose Documentation Plan
-
-Present before writing:
-
-```
-## Documentation Plan
-
-### New Docs:
-- `path/to/doc.md` — [what it covers, why it's needed]
-
-### Updates:
-- `path/to/existing.md` — [what section needs updating, why]
-
-### Standards Applied:
-- [formatting convention from ContextScout]
-- [tone guideline from ContextScout]
-
-Confirm before proceeding.
-```
-
-### Step 4: Write/Update Documentation
-
-Follow these principles:
-- **Concise**: If it can't be scanned in <30 seconds, cut it
-- **Example-driven**: Every concept gets a working code example
-- **Short lists**: Prefer bullet points over paragraphs
-- **Clear headings**: Readers should find what they need by scanning headers alone
-- **Consistent**: Match existing doc style exactly
-
-### Step 5: Summarize Changes
-
-Report what was created/updated, key decisions made, and any cross-references added.

-## Workflow
-
-### Step 0: Load Context System Standards
-
-Load these standards BEFORE generating any files:
-- MVI format standards
-- Structure and folder organization
-- Frontmatter requirements
-- Codebase reference patterns
-- Template formats
-
-### Step 1: Discover Codebase Structure
-
-1. Use glob to find relevant code files for domain concepts
-2. Map files to domain concepts
-3. Identify business logic, implementation, models, tests, config locations
-4. Create codebase reference map for each concept
-
-### Steps 2-6: Generate Files by Type
-
-For each file type, apply the appropriate template:
-
-| Step | Type | Folder | Size Limit | Template |
-|------|------|--------|------------|----------|
-| 2 | Concepts | concepts/ | <100 lines | Concept Template |
-| 3 | Guides | guides/ | <150 lines | Guide Template |
-| 4 | Examples | examples/ | <80 lines | Example Template |
-| 5 | Lookup | lookup/ | <100 lines | Lookup Template |
-| 6 | Errors | errors/ | <150 lines | Error Template |
-
-Every file must include:
-- Frontmatter (`<!-- Context: ... -->`)
-- MVI format (Core Idea → Key Points → Quick Example → Reference → Related)
-- Codebase references (`📂 Codebase References`)
-
-### Step 7: Create navigation.md
-
-Document context organization with navigation tables for all 5 folders, dependency maps, and loading strategy.
-
-### Step 8: Validate
-

-- Frontmatter compliance
-- Codebase references exist
-- MVI compliance
-- File size limits

-## Workflow
-
-### Step 1: Design Workflow Stages
-
-1. Analyze use case complexity
-2. Break down into logical stages
-3. Define prerequisites for each stage
-4. Map agent involvement per stage
-5. Add decision points and routing logic
-6. Define checkpoints and validation gates
-
-**Complexity Patterns**:
-
-| Pattern | Stages | Decision Points | Coordination |
-|---------|--------|-----------------|--------------|
-| Simple | 3-5 linear | Minimal | Single agent |
-| Moderate | 5-7 | Decision trees + conditional routing | 2-3 agents |
-| Complex | 7+ | Multi-path | Multi-agent parallel |
-
-### Step 2: Map Context Dependencies
-
-1. Identify what knowledge each stage needs
-2. Map to specific context files
-3. Determine context level (1/2/3) per stage
-4. Document loading strategy
-5. Optimize for efficiency (prefer Level 1)
-
-### Step 3: Define Success Criteria
-
-1. Specify measurable outcomes
-2. Define quality thresholds
-3. Add time/performance expectations
-4. Document validation requirements
-
-### Step 4: Create Workflow Selection Logic
-
-1. Define when to use each workflow
-2. Create decision tree for workflow selection
-3. Document escalation paths
-4. Add workflow switching logic
-
-### Step 5: Generate Workflow Files
-

-- Pre-flight checks (prerequisites)
-- Process flow with stages (each stage has: context dependencies, action, decision tree, output)

+## When to Use This Workflow
+
+### Delegate to OpenFrontendSpecialist When:
+
+**✅ STRONGLY RECOMMENDED** to delegate for:
+- **New UI/UX design work** - Landing pages, dashboards, app interfaces
+- **Design system creation** - Component libraries, theme systems, style guides
+- **Complex layouts** - Multi-column grids, responsive designs, intricate structures
+- **Visual polish** - Animations, transitions, micro-interactions
+- **Brand-focused work** - Marketing pages, product showcases, hero sections
+- **Accessibility-critical UI** - Forms, navigation, interactive components
+
+**Why delegate?**
+- OpenFrontendSpecialist follows the 4-stage design workflow (Layout → Theme → Animation → Implementation)
+- Ensures thoughtful design decisions with approval gates
+- Produces polished, accessible, production-ready UI
+- Handles responsive design, OKLCH colors, semantic HTML
+- Creates single-file HTML prototypes for quick iteration
+
+### Execute Directly When:
+
+**⚠️ Simple cases only**:
+- Minor text/content updates to existing UI
+- Small CSS tweaks (colors, spacing, fonts)
+- Adding simple utility classes
+- Updating existing component props
+- Bug fixes in existing UI code
+
+### Delegation Pattern
+
+```javascript
+// For UI design work
+task(
+  subagent_type="OpenFrontendSpecialist",
+  description="Design {feature} UI",
+  prompt="Design a {feature} following the 4-stage workflow:
+  
+  Requirements:
+  - {requirement 1}
+  - {requirement 2}
+  
+  Context: {what this UI is for}
+  
+  Follow the design iteration workflow:
+  1. Layout (ASCII wireframe)
+  2. Theme (design system, colors)
+  3. Animation (micro-interactions)
+  4. Implementation (single HTML file)
+  
+  Request approval between each stage."
+)
+```
+
+### Example Scenarios
+
+| Scenario | Action | Why |
+|----------|--------|-----|
+| "Create a landing page for our SaaS product" | ✅ Delegate to OpenFrontendSpecialist | Complex UI design, needs 4-stage workflow |
+| "Design a user dashboard with charts" | ✅ Delegate to OpenFrontendSpecialist | Complex layout, visual design, interactions |
+| "Build a component library with our brand" | ✅ Delegate to OpenFrontendSpecialist | Design system work, requires theme expertise |
+| "Fix button color from blue to green" | ⚠️ Execute directly | Simple CSS change |
+| "Update hero text content" | ⚠️ Execute directly | Content update only |
+
+---
+
+## Design Plan File (MANDATORY)
+
+**CRITICAL**: Before starting any design work, create a persistent design plan file.
+
+**Location**: `.tmp/design-plans/{project-name}-{feature-name}.md`
+
+**Purpose**: 
+- Preserve design decisions across stages
+- Allow user to review and edit the plan
+- Maintain context for subagent calls
+- Track design evolution and iterations
+
+**When to Create**: 
+- BEFORE Stage 1 (Layout Design)
+- After understanding user requirements
+- Before any design work begins
+
+**Template**:
+```markdown

+## User Requirements
+{What the user asked for - verbatim or close paraphrase}
+
+## Design Goals
+- {goal 1}
+- {goal 2}
+- {goal 3}
+
+## Target Audience
+{Who will use this UI}
+
+## Technical Constraints
+- Framework: {Next.js, React, etc.}
+- Responsive: {Yes/No}

+```
+
+**Workflow Integration**:
+1. **Create plan file** → Write to `.tmp/design-plans/{name}.md`
+2. **Each stage** → Update plan file with decisions and user feedback
+3. **User approval** → Edit plan file with approved decisions
+4. **User requests changes** → Edit plan file with feedback, iterate
+5. **Subagent calls** → Pass plan file path for context preservation
+6. **Completion** → Plan file contains full design history
+
+**Benefits**:
+- ✅ Context preserved across subagent calls
+- ✅ User can review and edit plan directly
+- ✅ Design decisions documented
+- ✅ Easy to iterate and refine
+- ✅ Full design history tracked

 ## Workflow Stages
 
+### Stage 0: Create Design Plan (MANDATORY FIRST STEP)
+
+**Purpose**: Create persistent plan file before any design work
+
+**Process**:
+1. Understand user requirements
+2. Identify design goals and constraints
+3. Create plan file at `.tmp/design-plans/{project-name}-{feature-name}.md`
+4. Populate with user requirements and goals
+5. Present plan file location to user
+6. Proceed to Stage 1
+
+**Deliverable**: Design plan file created and initialized
+
+**Example**:
+```
+✅ Design plan created: .tmp/design-plans/saas-landing-page.md
+
+You can review and edit this file at any time. All design decisions will be tracked here.
+
+Ready to proceed to Stage 1 (Layout Design)?

+## Handling Plan File Edits and Iterations
+
+### User Edits Plan File Directly
+
+**Scenario**: User opens `.tmp/design-plans/{name}.md` and makes changes
+
+**Process**:
+1. User edits plan file (changes requirements, adds constraints, modifies goals)
+2. User notifies agent: "I've updated the plan file"
+3. Agent reads updated plan file
+4. Agent identifies what changed
+5. Agent proposes how to incorporate changes
+6. Agent updates affected stages
+
+**Example**:
+```
+User: "I've updated the plan file - changed the color scheme to dark mode"
+
+Agent: 
+✅ Read updated plan: .tmp/design-plans/saas-landing-page.md
+
+Changes detected:
+- Color scheme: Light → Dark mode
+- Primary color: Blue → Purple
+
+This affects:
+- Stage 2 (Theme) - needs regeneration
+- Stage 4 (Implementation) - needs CSS update
+
+Would you like me to:
+1. Regenerate theme with dark mode
+2. Update implementation with new theme
+```
+
+### Iteration Within a Stage
+
+**Scenario**: User requests changes during a stage
+
+**Process**:
+1. Agent presents stage output (e.g., layout wireframe)
+2. User requests changes: "Make the hero section taller"
+3. Agent updates plan file with feedback
+4. Agent makes changes
+5. Agent updates plan file with new iteration
+6. Agent presents updated output
+
+**Example**:
+```
+Stage 1 - Layout Design
+
+Agent: [presents wireframe]
+
+User: "Make the hero section taller and move CTA above the fold"
+
+Agent:
+✅ Updated plan file with feedback
+✅ Revised layout wireframe
+✅ Updated plan file with Iteration 2
+
+[presents updated wireframe]
+```
+
+### Tracking Iterations in Plan File
+
+**Format**:
+```markdown
+## Design Evolution
+
+### Iteration 1 - Initial Layout
+- Date: 2026-01-30T10:00:00Z
+- Stage: Layout
+- Changes: Initial wireframe created
+- User feedback: "Hero section too short, CTA below fold"
+
+### Iteration 2 - Revised Layout
+- Date: 2026-01-30T10:15:00Z
+- Stage: Layout
+- Changes: Increased hero height from 400px to 600px, moved CTA above fold
+- User feedback: "Perfect! Approved."
+- Status: ✅ Approved
+
+### Iteration 3 - Theme Adjustment
+- Date: 2026-01-30T10:30:00Z
+- Stage: Theme
+- Changes: Changed from light to dark mode, primary color blue → purple
+- User feedback: "Love the dark mode!"
+- Status: ✅ Approved
+```
+
+### Subagent Context Preservation
+
+**Problem**: Subagents lose context between calls
+
+**Solution**: Always pass plan file path
+
+**Pattern**:
+```javascript
+// When delegating to subagent
+task(
+  subagent_type="OpenFrontendSpecialist",
+  description="Implement Stage 4",
+  prompt="Load design plan from .tmp/design-plans/saas-landing-page.md
+  
+  Read the plan file for:
+  - All approved decisions from Stages 1-3
+  - User requirements and constraints
+  - Design evolution and iterations
+  
+  Implement Stage 4 (Implementation) following all approved decisions.
+  
+  Update the plan file with:
+  - Output file paths
+  - Implementation status
+  - Any issues encountered"
+)
+```
+
+### Plan File as Single Source of Truth
+
+**Benefits**:
+- ✅ All design decisions in one place
+- ✅ User can review and edit anytime
+- ✅ Subagents have full context
+- ✅ Design history preserved
+- ✅ Easy to iterate and refine
+- ✅ No context loss between stages
+
+**Best Practices**:
+- Always read plan file at start of each stage
+- Update plan file after every user interaction
+- Track all iterations with timestamps
+- Document user feedback verbatim
+- Mark approved decisions clearly
+- Pass plan file path to all subagents

@@ -150,10 +150,133 @@ When TaskManager creates subtask JSONs, it MUST follow these rules:
 | **CoderAgent** | subtask JSON (`context_files` + `reference_files` + `external_context`) | Loads standards, references source files, reads external docs, implements |
 | **TestEngineer** | session `context.md` path (passed in prompt) | Knows what standards were applied, reads external context, writes tests accordingly |
 | **CodeReviewer** | session `context.md` path (passed in prompt) | Knows what standards were applied, reviews against them, considers external context |
+| **OpenFrontendSpecialist** | session `context.md` path (passed in prompt) | Follows 4-stage design workflow (Layout → Theme → Animation → Implementation) |
 
 **Key**: 
 - TestEngineer and CodeReviewer should ALWAYS receive the session context path when delegated. This way they review against the same standards that were used during implementation — not whatever they independently discover.
 - All agents should read `external_context` files to understand external library patterns and requirements — this avoids re-fetching and ensures consistency.
+- **OpenFrontendSpecialist should be used for UI/UX design work** - See `workflows/design-iteration.md` for when to delegate vs execute directly.
+
+---
+
+## When to Delegate to Specialists
+
+### OpenFrontendSpecialist - UI/UX Design
+
+**✅ STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to delegate when:**
+- Creating new UI/UX designs (landing pages, dashboards, app interfaces)
+- Building design systems (component libraries, themes, style guides)
+- Complex layouts requiring responsive design
+- Visual polish work (animations, transitions, micro-interactions)
+- Brand-focused pages (marketing, product showcases)
+- Accessibility-critical UI (forms, navigation, interactive components)
+
+**Delegation pattern:**
+```javascript
+task(
+  subagent_type="OpenFrontendSpecialist",
+  description="Design {feature} UI",
+  prompt="Load context from .tmp/sessions/{session-id}/context.md
+  
+  Design a {feature} following the 4-stage workflow:
+  
+  CRITICAL: Create design plan file at .tmp/design-plans/{project}-{feature}.md BEFORE starting
+  
+  Stages:
+  1. Stage 0: Create design plan file (MANDATORY FIRST)
+  2. Stage 1: Layout (ASCII wireframe) → Update plan file
+  3. Stage 2: Theme (design system, colors) → Update plan file
+  4. Stage 3: Animation (micro-interactions) → Update plan file
+  5. Stage 4: Implementation (single HTML file) → Update plan file
+  
+  Requirements:
+  - {requirement 1}
+  - {requirement 2}
+  
+  Plan file preserves context across stages and allows user to review/edit.
+  Request approval between each stage.
+  Update plan file after each stage and user feedback."
+)
+```
+
+**Why delegate?**
+- Follows structured 4-stage design workflow with approval gates
+- Produces polished, accessible, production-ready UI
+- Handles responsive design, OKLCH colors, semantic HTML
+- Creates single-file HTML prototypes for quick iteration
+
+**See**: `workflows/design-iteration.md` for full workflow details
+
+### TestEngineer - Test Authoring
+
+**Delegate when:**
+- Writing comprehensive test suites
+- TDD workflows (tests before implementation)
+- Complex test scenarios (edge cases, error handling)
+- Integration tests across multiple components
+
+**Delegation pattern:**
+```javascript
+task(
+  subagent_type="TestEngineer",
+  description="Write tests for {feature}",
+  prompt="Load context from .tmp/sessions/{session-id}/context.md
+  
+  Write comprehensive tests for {feature}
+  
+  Files to test:
+  - {file 1}
+  - {file 2}
+  
+  Follow test coverage standards from context."
+)
+```
+
+### CodeReviewer - Quality Assurance
+
+**Delegate when:**
+- Reviewing complex implementations
+- Security-critical code review
+- Pre-merge quality checks
+- Architecture validation
+
+**Delegation pattern:**
+```javascript
+task(
+  subagent_type="CodeReviewer",
+  description="Review {feature} implementation",
+  prompt="Load context from .tmp/sessions/{session-id}/context.md
+  
+  Review {feature} implementation against standards
+  
+  Files to review:
+  - {file 1}
+  - {file 2}
+  
+  Focus on: security, performance, maintainability"
+)
+```
+
+### CoderAgent - Focused Implementation
+
+**Delegate when:**
+- Implementing atomic subtasks from TaskManager
+- Isolated feature work (single component/module)
+- Following specific implementation specs
+
+**Delegation pattern:**
+```javascript
+task(
+  subagent_type="CoderAgent",
+  description="Implement {subtask}",
+  prompt="Load context from .tmp/sessions/{session-id}/context.md
+  
+  Implement subtask: {subtask description}
+  
+  Follow the implementation spec exactly.
+  Mark subtask as complete when done."

+# Core Concept: Agent Metadata System
+
+**Purpose**: Understanding the centralized metadata system for OpenAgents Control  
+**Priority**: CRITICAL - Load this before working with agent metadata
+
+---
+
+## What Is the Agent Metadata System?
+
+The agent metadata system separates **OpenCode-compliant agent configuration** from **OpenAgents Control registry metadata**. This solves the problem of OpenCode validation errors when agents contain fields that aren't part of the OpenCode agent schema.
+
+**Key Principle**: Agent frontmatter contains ONLY valid OpenCode fields. All other metadata lives in a centralized file.
+
+---
+
+## The Problem We Solved
+
+### Before (Validation Errors)
+
+Agent frontmatter contained fields that OpenCode doesn't recognize:
+
+```yaml

+---
+```
+
+**Centralized metadata** (`.opencode/config/agent-metadata.json`):

+
+## Valid OpenCode Agent Fields
+
+Based on [OpenCode documentation](https://opencode.ai/docs/agents/), these are the ONLY valid frontmatter fields:
+
+### Required Fields
+- `description` - When to use this agent (required)
+- `mode` - Agent type: `primary`, `subagent`, or `all` (defaults to `all`)
+
+### Optional Fields
+- `model` - Model override (e.g., `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514`)
+- `temperature` - Response randomness (0.0-1.0)
+- `maxSteps` - Max agentic iterations
+- `disable` - Set to `true` to disable agent
+- `prompt` - Custom prompt file path (e.g., `{file:./prompts/build.txt}`)
+- `hidden` - Hide from @ autocomplete (subagents only)
+- `tools` - Tool access configuration
+- `permission` - Permission rules for tools
+
+### Example Valid Frontmatter
+
+```yaml
+---
+description: "Code review agent with security focus"
+mode: subagent
+model: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514
+temperature: 0.1
+tools:
+  read: true
+  grep: true
+  glob: true
+  write: false
+  edit: false
+permission:
+  bash:
+    "*": ask
+    "git *": allow
+  edit: deny
+---
+```
+
+---
+
+## Centralized Metadata File
+
+**Location**: `.opencode/config/agent-metadata.json`
+
+### Schema
+
+```json
+{
+  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/schemas/agent-metadata.json",
+  "schema_version": "1.0.0",
+  "description": "Centralized metadata for OpenAgents Control agents",

+
+### Metadata Fields
+
+| Field | Required | Description | Example |
+|-------|----------|-------------|---------|
+| `id` | Yes | Unique identifier (kebab-case) | `"opencoder"` |
+| `name` | Yes | Display name | `"OpenCoder"` |
+| `category` | Yes | Agent category | `"core"` |
+| `type` | Yes | Component type | `"agent"` or `"subagent"` |
+| `version` | Yes | Version number | `"1.0.0"` |
+| `author` | Yes | Author identifier | `"opencode"` |
+| `tags` | No | Discovery tags | `["development", "coding"]` |
+| `dependencies` | No | Component dependencies | `["subagent:tester"]` |
+
+---
+
+## How It Works
+
+### 1. Agent Creation
+
+When creating a new agent:
+
+**Step 1**: Create agent file with ONLY valid OpenCode fields
+
+```bash
+# Create agent file
+touch .opencode/agent/category/my-agent.md
+```
+
+```yaml
+---
+description: "My agent description"
+mode: subagent
+temperature: 0.2
+tools:
+  read: true
+  write: true
+---
+
+# Agent prompt content here
+```
+
+**Step 2**: Add metadata to `.opencode/config/agent-metadata.json`
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "my-agent": {
+      "id": "my-agent",
+      "name": "My Agent",
+      "category": "development",
+      "type": "subagent",
+      "version": "1.0.0",
+      "author": "opencode",
+      "tags": ["custom", "helper"],
+      "dependencies": ["context:core/standards/code"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Step 3**: Run auto-detect to update registry
+
+```bash
+./scripts/registry/auto-detect-components.sh --auto-add
+```
+
+The auto-detect script:
+1. Reads frontmatter from agent file (description, mode, etc.)
+2. Reads metadata from `agent-metadata.json` (id, name, tags, dependencies)
+3. Merges both into registry.json entry
+
+### 2. Auto-Detect Integration
+
+The auto-detect script (`scripts/registry/auto-detect-components.sh`) has been enhanced to:
+
+1. **Extract frontmatter** - Read description from agent file
+2. **Lookup metadata** - Check `agent-metadata.json` for agent ID
+3. **Merge data** - Combine frontmatter + metadata
+4. **Update registry** - Write complete entry to registry.json
+
+**Code snippet** (from auto-detect script):
+
+```bash
+# Check if agent-metadata.json exists and merge metadata from it
+local metadata_file="$REPO_ROOT/.opencode/config/agent-metadata.json"
+if [ -f "$metadata_file" ] && command -v jq &> /dev/null; then
+    # Try to find metadata for this agent ID
+    local metadata_entry
+    metadata_entry=$(jq -r ".agents[\"$id\"] // empty" "$metadata_file" 2>/dev/null)
+    
+    if [ -n "$metadata_entry" ] && [ "$metadata_entry" != "null" ]; then
+        # Merge name, tags, dependencies from metadata
+        # ...
+    fi
+fi
+```
+
+### 3. Registry Output
+
+The registry.json entry contains merged data:
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "opencoder",
+  "name": "OpenCoder",
+  "type": "agent",
+  "path": ".opencode/agent/core/opencoder.md",
+  "description": "Orchestration agent for complex coding...",
+  "category": "core",
+  "tags": ["development", "coding", "implementation"],
+  "dependencies": [
+    "subagent:documentation",
+    "subagent:coder-agent",
+    "context:core/standards/code"
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Workflow
+
+### Adding a New Agent
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create agent file (OpenCode-compliant frontmatter only)
+vim .opencode/agent/category/my-agent.md
+
+# 2. Add metadata entry
+vim .opencode/config/agent-metadata.json
+
+# 3. Update registry
+./scripts/registry/auto-detect-components.sh --auto-add
+
+# 4. Validate
+./scripts/registry/validate-registry.sh
+```
+
+### Updating Agent Metadata
+
+**To update OpenCode configuration** (tools, permissions, temperature):
+```bash
+# Edit agent file frontmatter
+vim .opencode/agent/category/my-agent.md
+```
+
+**To update registry metadata** (tags, dependencies, version):
+```bash
+# Edit metadata file
+vim .opencode/config/agent-metadata.json
+
+# Re-run auto-detect
+./scripts/registry/auto-detect-components.sh --auto-add
+```
+
+### Updating Dependencies
+
+**Add a dependency**:
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "my-agent": {
+      "dependencies": [
+        "subagent:tester",
+        "context:core/standards/code",
+        "subagent:new-dependency"  // ← Add here
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Then run:
+```bash
+./scripts/registry/auto-detect-components.sh --auto-add
+./scripts/registry/validate-registry.sh
+```
+
+---
+
+## Benefits
+
+### ✅ OpenCode Compliance
+- Agent frontmatter contains ONLY valid OpenCode fields
+- No validation errors from OpenCode
+- Agents work correctly with OpenCode CLI
+
+### ✅ Registry Compatibility
+- Registry still has all metadata (id, name, category, tags, dependencies)
+- Auto-detect script merges frontmatter + metadata
+- Backward compatible with existing tools
+
+### ✅ Single Source of Truth
+- Metadata centralized in one file
+- Easy to update dependencies across multiple agents
+- Clear separation: OpenCode config vs. registry metadata
+
+### ✅ Maintainability
+- Update dependencies in one place
+- Consistent metadata across all agents
+- Easy to add new metadata fields
+
+### ✅ Validation
+- OpenCode validates frontmatter (no extra fields)
+- Registry validator checks dependencies exist
+- Clear error messages when metadata is missing
+
+---
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+### Migrating Existing Agents
+
+**Step 1**: Identify agents with extra fields
+
+```bash
+# Find agents with invalid OpenCode fields
+grep -r "^id:\|^name:\|^category:\|^type:\|^version:\|^author:\|^tags:\|^dependencies:" .opencode/agent/
+```
+
+**Step 2**: Extract metadata to `agent-metadata.json`
+
+For each agent:
+1. Copy `id`, `name`, `category`, `type`, `version`, `author`, `tags`, `dependencies` to metadata file
+2. Remove these fields from agent frontmatter
+3. Keep ONLY valid OpenCode fields in frontmatter
+
+**Step 3**: Update registry
+
+```bash
+# Remove old entries
+jq 'del(.components.agents[] | select(.id == "agent-id"))' registry.json > tmp.json && mv tmp.json registry.json
+
+# Re-add with new metadata
+./scripts/registry/auto-detect-components.sh --auto-add
+```
+
+**Step 4**: Validate
+
+```bash
+./scripts/registry/validate-registry.sh
+```
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Agent Frontmatter
+
+✅ **DO**:
+- Keep frontmatter minimal (only OpenCode fields)
+- Add comment pointing to metadata file
+- Use consistent formatting
+
+❌ **DON'T**:
+- Add custom fields to frontmatter
+- Duplicate metadata in both places
+- Skip the metadata file
+
+### Metadata File
+
+✅ **DO**:
+- Keep metadata file in version control
+- Update metadata when adding/removing dependencies
+- Use consistent naming (kebab-case for IDs)
+- Document why dependencies exist
+
+❌ **DON'T**:
+- Forget to update metadata when creating agents
+- Leave orphaned entries (agents that don't exist)
+- Skip validation after updates
+
+### Dependencies
+
+✅ **DO**:
+- Declare ALL dependencies (subagents, contexts)
+- Use correct format: `type:id`
+- Validate dependencies exist in registry
+
+❌ **DON'T**:
+- Reference components without declaring dependency
+- Use invalid dependency formats
+- Forget to update when dependencies change
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### OpenCode Validation Errors
+
+**Problem**: `Extra inputs are not permitted, field: 'id'`
+
+**Solution**: Remove invalid fields from agent frontmatter, add to metadata file
+
+```bash
+# 1. Edit agent file - remove id, name, category, type, version, author, tags, dependencies
+vim .opencode/agent/category/agent.md
+
+# 2. Add to metadata file
+vim .opencode/config/agent-metadata.json
+
+# 3. Update registry
+./scripts/registry/auto-detect-components.sh --auto-add
+```
+
+### Missing Metadata
+
+**Problem**: Auto-detect can't find metadata for agent
+
+**Solution**: Add entry to `agent-metadata.json`
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "agent-id": {
+      "id": "agent-id",
+      "name": "Agent Name",
+      "category": "core",
+      "type": "agent",
+      "version": "1.0.0",
+      "author": "opencode",
+      "tags": [],
+      "dependencies": []
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Registry Out of Sync
+
+**Problem**: Registry has old metadata
+
+**Solution**: Remove entry and re-run auto-detect
+
+```bash
+# Remove old entry
+jq 'del(.components.agents[] | select(.id == "agent-id"))' registry.json > tmp.json && mv tmp.json registry.json
+
+# Re-add with current metadata
+./scripts/registry/auto-detect-components.sh --auto-add
+```
