# Agent Instructions
|
|
|
|
This repository primarily houses the `compound-engineering` coding-agent plugin and the Claude Code marketplace/catalog metadata used to distribute it.
|
|
|
|
It also contains:
|
|
- the Bun/TypeScript CLI that converts Claude Code plugins into other agent platform formats
|
|
- additional plugins under `plugins/`, such as `coding-tutor`
|
|
- shared release and metadata infrastructure for the CLI, marketplace, and plugins
|
|
|
|
`AGENTS.md` is the canonical repo instruction file. Root `CLAUDE.md` exists only as a compatibility shim for tools and conversions that still look for it.
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bun install
|
|
bun test # full test suite
|
|
bun run release:validate # check plugin/marketplace consistency
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Working Agreement
|
|
|
|
- **Branching:** Create a feature branch for any non-trivial change. If already on the correct branch for the task, keep using it; do not create additional branches or worktrees unless explicitly requested.
|
|
- **Safety:** Do not delete or overwrite user data. Avoid destructive commands.
|
|
- **Testing:** Run `bun test` after changes that affect parsing, conversion, or output.
|
|
- **Release versioning:** Releases are prepared by release automation, not normal feature PRs. The repo now has multiple release components (`cli`, `compound-engineering`, `coding-tutor`, `marketplace`). GitHub release PRs and GitHub Releases are the canonical release-notes surface for new releases; root `CHANGELOG.md` is only a pointer to that history. Use conventional titles such as `feat:` and `fix:` so release automation can classify change intent, but do not hand-bump release-owned versions or hand-author release notes in routine PRs.
|
|
- **Output Paths:** Keep OpenCode output at `opencode.json` and `.opencode/{agents,skills,plugins}`. For OpenCode, command go to `~/.config/opencode/commands/<name>.md`; `opencode.json` is deep-merged (never overwritten wholesale).
|
|
- **Scratch Space:** When authoring or editing skills and agents that need repo-local scratch space, instruct them to use `.context/` for ephemeral collaboration artifacts. Namespace compound-engineering workflow state under `.context/compound-engineering/<workflow-or-skill-name>/`, add a per-run subdirectory when concurrent runs are plausible, and clean scratch artifacts up after successful completion unless the user asked to inspect them or another agent still needs them. Durable outputs like plans, specs, learnings, and docs do not belong in `.context/`.
|
|
- **ASCII-first:** Use ASCII unless the file already contains Unicode.
|
|
|
|
## Directory Layout
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
src/ CLI entry point, parsers, converters, target writers
|
|
plugins/ Plugin workspaces (compound-engineering, coding-tutor)
|
|
.claude-plugin/ Claude marketplace catalog metadata
|
|
tests/ Converter, writer, and CLI tests + fixtures
|
|
docs/ Requirements, plans, solutions, and target specs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Repo Surfaces
|
|
|
|
Changes in this repo may affect one or more of these surfaces:
|
|
|
|
- `compound-engineering` under `plugins/compound-engineering/`
|
|
- the Claude marketplace catalog under `.claude-plugin/`
|
|
- the converter/install CLI in `src/` and `package.json`
|
|
- secondary plugins such as `plugins/coding-tutor/`
|
|
|
|
Do not assume a repo change is "just CLI" or "just plugin" without checking which surface owns the affected files.
|
|
|
|
## Plugin Maintenance
|
|
|
|
When changing `plugins/compound-engineering/` content:
|
|
|
|
- Update substantive docs like `plugins/compound-engineering/README.md` when the plugin behavior, inventory, or usage changes.
|
|
- Do not hand-bump release-owned versions in plugin or marketplace manifests.
|
|
- Do not hand-add release entries to `CHANGELOG.md` or treat it as the canonical source for new releases.
|
|
- Run `bun run release:validate` if agents, commands, skills, MCP servers, or release-owned descriptions/counts may have changed.
|
|
|
|
Useful validation commands:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bun run release:validate
|
|
cat .claude-plugin/marketplace.json | jq .
|
|
cat plugins/compound-engineering/.claude-plugin/plugin.json | jq .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Coding Conventions
|
|
|
|
- Prefer explicit mappings over implicit magic when converting between platforms.
|
|
- Keep target-specific behavior in dedicated converters/writers instead of scattering conditionals across unrelated files.
|
|
- Preserve stable output paths and merge semantics for installed targets; do not casually change generated file locations.
|
|
- When adding or changing a target, update fixtures/tests alongside implementation rather than treating docs or examples as sufficient proof.
|
|
|
|
## Commit Conventions
|
|
|
|
- Use conventional titles such as `feat: ...`, `fix: ...`, `docs: ...`, and `refactor: ...`.
|
|
- Component scope is optional. Example: `feat(coding-tutor): add quiz reset`.
|
|
- Breaking changes must be explicit with `!` or a breaking-change footer so release automation can classify them correctly.
|
|
|
|
## Adding a New Target Provider
|
|
|
|
Only add a provider when the target format is stable, documented, and has a clear mapping for tools/permissions/hooks. Use this checklist:
|
|
|
|
1. **Define the target entry**
|
|
- Add a new handler in `src/targets/index.ts` with `implemented: false` until complete.
|
|
- Use a dedicated writer module (e.g., `src/targets/codex.ts`).
|
|
|
|
2. **Define types and mapping**
|
|
- Add provider-specific types under `src/types/`.
|
|
- Implement conversion logic in `src/converters/` (from Claude → provider).
|
|
- Keep mappings explicit: tools, permissions, hooks/events, model naming.
|
|
|
|
3. **Wire the CLI**
|
|
- Ensure `convert` and `install` support `--to <provider>` and `--also`.
|
|
- Keep behavior consistent with OpenCode (write to a clean provider root).
|
|
|
|
4. **Tests (required)**
|
|
- Extend fixtures in `tests/fixtures/sample-plugin`.
|
|
- Add spec coverage for mappings in `tests/converter.test.ts`.
|
|
- Add a writer test for the new provider output tree.
|
|
- Add a CLI test for the provider (similar to `tests/cli.test.ts`).
|
|
|
|
5. **Docs**
|
|
- Update README with the new `--to` option and output locations.
|
|
|
|
## Agent References in Skills
|
|
|
|
When referencing agents from within skill SKILL.md files (e.g., via the `Agent` or `Task` tool), always use the **fully-qualified namespace**: `compound-engineering:<category>:<agent-name>`. Never use the short agent name alone.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
- `compound-engineering:research:learnings-researcher` (correct)
|
|
- `learnings-researcher` (wrong - will fail to resolve at runtime)
|
|
|
|
This prevents resolution failures when the plugin is installed alongside other plugins that may define agents with the same short name.
|
|
|
|
## Repository Docs Convention
|
|
|
|
- **Requirements** live in `docs/brainstorms/` — requirements exploration and ideation.
|
|
- **Plans** live in `docs/plans/` — implementation plans and progress tracking.
|
|
- **Solutions** live in `docs/solutions/` — documented decisions and patterns.
|
|
- **Specs** live in `docs/specs/` — target platform format specifications.
