feat: implement ultra-compact context index system

- Add central context index at .opencode/context/index.md (120 tokens)
- Add compact metadata to all 9 context files (10 tokens each)
- Update OpenAgent prompt to reference index system (73% token reduction)
- Update context-guide.md with index usage documentation

Benefits:
- Single index file for context discovery
- Human-readable and machine-parseable format
- Clear dependency tracking (tests→code, review→code+patterns, etc.)
- Priority levels (critical/high/medium) for all contexts
- Reduced prompt overhead from ~200 to ~53 tokens

Context files updated:
- standards/code.md, docs.md, tests.md, patterns.md, analysis.md
- workflows/delegation.md, review.md, task-breakdown.md, sessions.md

This implements a scalable, maintainable context system with
efficient token usage and clear navigation structure.

+<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
+
+CONSEQUENCE OF SKIPPING: Work that doesn't match project standards = wasted effort + rework

+  2. NEVER skip step 3.1 (LoadContext) for efficiency or speed
+  3. NEVER assume a task is "too simple" to need context
+  4. ALWAYS use Read tool to load context files before execution
+  5. ALWAYS tell subagents which context file to load when delegating

+Context files provide guidelines and templates for specific tasks. Use the index system for efficient discovery and lazy loading to keep prompts lean.
+
+## Context Index System
+
+**Central Index**: `.opencode/context/index.md` - Ultra-compact map of all contexts
+
+The index provides:
+- Quick map for common tasks (code, docs, tests, review, delegation)
+- Triggers/keywords for each context
+- Dependencies between contexts
+- Priority levels (critical, high, medium)

-## Lazy Loading (Recommended)
+## How to Use the Index
 
 
-Reference files **WITHOUT** `@` symbol - agent fetches only when needed:
+**Step 1: Check Quick Map** (for common tasks)
+- Code task? → Load `standards/code.md`
+- Docs task? → Load `standards/docs.md`
+- Review task? → Load `workflows/review.md`
 
 
-```markdown
-"Write code following .opencode/context/core/standards/code.md"
-"Review using .opencode/context/core/workflows/review.md"
-"Break down task using .opencode/context/core/workflows/task-breakdown.md"
-```
+**Step 2: Load Index** (for keyword matching)
+- Load `.opencode/context/index.md`
+- Scan triggers to find relevant contexts
+- Load specific context files as needed
+
+**Step 3: Load Dependencies**
+- Check `deps:` in index
+- Load dependent contexts for complete guidelines
 
 
 **Benefits:**
 **Benefits:**
-- No prompt bloat
+- No prompt bloat (index is only ~120 tokens)
 - Fetch only what's relevant
 - Fetch only what's relevant
 - Faster for simple tasks
 - Faster for simple tasks
-- Agent decides when to load
+- Clear dependency tracking
