Interactive wizard to add project patterns using Project Intelligence standard [context onboarding project-intelligence wizard] [subagent:context-organizer context:core/context-system/standards/mvi.md context:core/context-system/standards/frontmatter.md context:core/standards/project-intelligence.md]
Project Intelligence onboarding wizard for teaching agents YOUR coding patterns Project-specific context creation w/ MVI compliance Interactive 6-question wizard → structured context files w/ 100% pattern preservation

Context Creation Wizard applying Project Intelligence + MVI + frontmatter standards

6-question wizard → technical-domain.md w/ tech stack, API/component patterns, naming, standards, security

<critical_rules priority="absolute" enforcement="strict"> MUST create technical-domain.md in project-intelligence/ dir (NOT single project-context.md) ALL files MUST start w/ HTML frontmatter: Files MUST be <200 lines, scannable <30s. MVI formula: 1-3 sentence concept, 3-5 key points, 5-10 line example, ref link ALL files MUST include "📂 Codebase References" section linking context→actual code implementation MUST update navigation.md when creating/modifying files (add to Quick Routes or Deep Dives table) MUST assign priority based on usage: critical (80%) | high (15%) | medium (4%) | low (1%) MUST track versions: New file→1.0 | Content update→MINOR (1.1, 1.2) | Structure change→MAJOR (2.0, 3.0) </critical_rules>

<execution_priority> - @project_intelligence (technical-domain.md in project-intelligence/ dir) - @mvi_compliance (<200 lines, <30s scannable) - @frontmatter_required (HTML frontmatter w/ metadata) - @codebase_refs (link context→code) - @navigation_update (update navigation.md) - @priority_assignment (critical for tech stack/core patterns) - @version_tracking (1.0 for new, incremented for updates) - Detect existing context→Review/Add/Replace - 6-question interactive wizard - Generate/update technical-domain.md - Validation w/ MVI checklist - Clear formatting w/ ━ dividers - Helpful examples - Next steps guidance <conflict_resolution>Tier 1 always overrides Tier 2/3 - standards are non-negotiable</conflict_resolution> </execution_priority>


Purpose

Help users add project patterns using Project Intelligence standard. Easiest way to teach agents YOUR coding patterns.

Value: Answer 6 questions (~5 min) → properly structured context files → agents generate code matching YOUR project.

Standards: @project_intelligence + @mvi_compliance + @frontmatter_required + @codebase_refs

Note: External context files are stored in .tmp/ directory (e.g., .tmp/external-context.md) for temporary or external knowledge that will be organized into the permanent context system.

External Context Integration: The wizard automatically detects external context files in .tmp/ and offers to extract and use them as source material for your project patterns.


Usage

/add-context                 # Interactive wizard (recommended, saves to project)
/add-context --update        # Update existing context
/add-context --tech-stack    # Add/update tech stack only
/add-context --patterns      # Add/update code patterns only
/add-context --global        # Save to global config (~/.config/opencode/) instead of project

Quick Start

Run: /add-context

What happens:

  1. Saves to .opencode/context/project-intelligence/ in your project (always local)
  2. Checks for external context files in .tmp/ (if found, offers to extract)
  3. Checks for existing project intelligence
  4. Asks 6 questions (~5 min) OR reviews existing patterns
  5. Shows full preview of files to be created before writing
  6. Generates/updates technical-domain.md + navigation.md
  7. Agents now use YOUR patterns

6 Questions (~5 min):

  1. Tech stack?
  2. API endpoint example?
  3. Component example?
  4. Naming conventions?
  5. Code standards?
  6. Security requirements?

Done! Agents now use YOUR patterns.

Management Options:

  • Update patterns: /add-context --update
  • Manage external files: /context harvest (extract, organize, clean)
  • Harvest to permanent: /context harvest
  • Clean context: /context harvest (cleans up .tmp/ files)

Workflow

Stage 0.5: Resolve Context Location

Determine where project intelligence files should be saved. This runs BEFORE anything else.

Default behavior: Always use local .opencode/context/project-intelligence/. Override: --global flag saves to ~/.config/opencode/context/project-intelligence/ instead.

Resolution:

  1. If --global flag → $CONTEXT_DIR = ~/.config/opencode/context/project-intelligence/
  2. Otherwise → $CONTEXT_DIR = .opencode/context/project-intelligence/ (always local)

If .opencode/context/ doesn't exist yet, create it silently — no prompt needed. The directory structure is part of the output shown in Stage 4.

Variable: $CONTEXT_DIR is set here and used in all subsequent stages.


Stage 0: Check for External Context Files

Check: .tmp/ directory for external context files (e.g., .tmp/external-context.md, .tmp/context-*.md)

If external files found:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Found external context files in .tmp/
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Files found:
  📄 .tmp/external-context.md (2.4 KB)
  📄 .tmp/api-patterns.md (1.8 KB)
  📄 .tmp/component-guide.md (3.1 KB)

These files can be extracted and organized into permanent context.

Options:
  1. Continue with /add-context (ignore external files for now)
  2. Manage external files first (via /context harvest)

Choose [1/2]: _

If option 1 (Continue):

  • Proceed to Stage 1 (detect existing project intelligence)
  • External files remain in .tmp/ for later processing

If option 2 (Manage external files):

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Manage External Context Files
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

To manage external context files, use the /context command:

  /context harvest

This will:
  ✓ Extract knowledge from .tmp/ files
  ✓ Organize into project-intelligence/
  ✓ Clean up temporary files
  ✓ Update navigation.md

After harvesting, run /add-context again to create project intelligence.

Ready to harvest? [y/n]: _

If yes: Exit and run /context harvest If no: Continue with /add-context (Stage 1)


Stage 1: Detect Existing Context

Check: $CONTEXT_DIR (set in Stage 0.5 — either .opencode/context/project-intelligence/ or ~/.config/opencode/context/project-intelligence/)

If exists:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Found existing project intelligence!
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Files found:
  ✓ technical-domain.md (Version: 1.2, Updated: 2026-01-15)
  ✓ business-domain.md (Version: 1.0, Updated: 2026-01-10)
  ✓ navigation.md

Current patterns:
  📦 Tech Stack: Next.js 14 + TypeScript + PostgreSQL + Tailwind
  🔧 API: Zod validation, error handling
  🎨 Component: Functional components, TypeScript props
  📝 Naming: kebab-case files, PascalCase components
  ✅ Standards: TypeScript strict, Drizzle ORM
  🔒 Security: Input validation, parameterized queries

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Options:
  1. Review and update patterns (show each one)
  2. Add new patterns (keep all existing)
  3. Replace all patterns (start fresh)
  4. Cancel

Choose [1/2/3/4]: _

If user chooses 3 (Replace all):

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Replace All: Preview
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Will BACKUP existing files to:
  .tmp/backup/project-intelligence-{timestamp}/
    ← technical-domain.md (Version: 1.2)
    ← business-domain.md (Version: 1.0)
    ← navigation.md

Will DELETE and RECREATE:
  $CONTEXT_DIR/technical-domain.md (new Version: 1.0)
  $CONTEXT_DIR/navigation.md (new Version: 1.0)

Existing files backed up → you can restore from .tmp/backup/ if needed.

Proceed? [y/n]: _

If not exists:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
No project intelligence found. Let's create it!
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Saving to: $CONTEXT_DIR

Will create:
  - project-intelligence/technical-domain.md (tech stack & patterns)
  - project-intelligence/navigation.md (quick overview)

Takes ~5 min. Follows @mvi_compliance (<200 lines).

Ready? [y/n]: _

Stage 1.5: Review Existing Patterns (if updating)

Only runs if user chose "Review and update" in Stage 1.

For each pattern, show current→ask Keep/Update/Remove:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ What's next? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

  1. Test it: opencode --agent OpenCoder

    "Create API endpoint" (Uses YOUR pattern!)

  2. Review: cat $CONTEXT_DIR/technical-domain.md

  3. Add business context: /add-context --business

  4. Build: opencode --agent OpenCoder > "Create user auth system"

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💡 Tip: Update context as project evolves ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

When you: Add library → /add-context --update Change patterns → /add-context --update Migrate tech → /add-context --update

Agents stay synced!

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💡 Tip: Global patterns ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Want the same patterns across ALL your projects? /add-context --global → Saves to ~/.config/opencode/context/project-intelligence/ → Acts as fallback for projects without local context

Already have global patterns? Bring them into this project: /context migrate

## Implementation Details

### External Context Detection (Stage 0)

**Process**:
1. Check: `ls .tmp/external-context.md .tmp/context-*.md .tmp/*-context.md 2>/dev/null`
2. If files found:
   - Display list of external context files
   - Offer options: Continue | Manage (via /context harvest)
3. If option 1 (Continue):
   - Proceed to Stage 1 (detect existing project intelligence)
   - External files remain in .tmp/ for later processing via `/context harvest`
4. If option 2 (Manage):
   - Guide user to `/context harvest` command
   - Explain what harvest does (extract, organize, clean)
   - Exit add-context
   - User runs `/context harvest` to process external files
   - User runs `/add-context` again after harvest completes

### Pattern Detection (Stage 1)

**Process**:
1. Check: `ls $CONTEXT_DIR/` (path determined in Stage 0.5)
2. Read: `cat technical-domain.md` (if exists)
3. Parse existing patterns:
   - Frontmatter: version, updated date
   - Tech stack: "Primary Stack" table
   - API/Component: "Code Patterns" section
   - Naming: "Naming Conventions" table
   - Standards: "Code Standards" section
   - Security: "Security Requirements" section
4. Display summary
5. Offer options: Review/Add/Replace/Cancel

### Pattern Review (Stage 1.5)

**Per pattern**:
1. Show current value (parsed from file)
2. Ask: Keep | Update | Remove
3. If Update: Prompt for new value
4. Track changes in `changes_to_make[]`

**After all reviewed**:
1. Show summary
2. Calculate version per @version_tracking (content→MINOR, structure→MAJOR)
3. Confirm
4. Proceed to Stage 3

### Delegation to ContextOrganizer

```yaml
operation: create | update
template: technical-domain  # Project Intelligence template
target_directory: project-intelligence

# For create/update operations
user_responses:
  tech_stack: {framework, language, database, styling}
  api_pattern: string | null
  component_pattern: string | null
  naming_conventions: {files, components, functions, database}
  code_standards: string[]
  security_requirements: string[]
  
frontmatter:
  context: project-intelligence/technical
  priority: critical  # @priority_assignment (80% use cases)
  version: {calculated}  # @version_tracking
  updated: {current_date}

validation:
  max_lines: 200  # @mvi_compliance
  has_frontmatter: true  # @frontmatter_required
  has_codebase_references: true  # @codebase_refs
  navigation_updated: true  # @navigation_update

Note: External context file management (harvest, extract, organize) is handled by /context harvest command, not /add-context.

File Structure Inference

Examples

Example 1: First Time (No Context)

/add-context

# Q1: Next.js + TypeScript + PostgreSQL + Tailwind
# Q2: [pastes Next.js API route]
# Q3: [pastes React component]
# Q4-6: [answers]

✅ Created: technical-domain.md, navigation.md

Example 2: Review & Update

/add-context

# Found existing → Choose "1. Review and update"
# Pattern 1: Tech Stack → Update (Next.js 14 → 15)
# Pattern 2-6: Keep

✅ Updated: Version 1.2 → 1.3

Example 3: Quick Update

/add-context --tech-stack

# Current: Next.js 15 + TypeScript + PostgreSQL + Tailwind
# New: Next.js 15 + TypeScript + PostgreSQL + Drizzle + Tailwind

✅ Version 1.4 → 1.5

Example 4: External Context Files Present

/add-context

# Found external context files in .tmp/
#   📄 .tmp/external-context.md (2.4 KB)
#   📄 .tmp/api-patterns.md (1.8 KB)
#
# Options:
#   1. Continue with /add-context (ignore external files for now)
#   2. Manage external files first (via /context harvest)
#
# Choose [1/2]: 2
#
# To manage external context files, use:
#   /context harvest
#
# This will:
#   ✓ Extract knowledge from .tmp/ files
#   ✓ Organize into project-intelligence/
#   ✓ Clean up temporary files
#   ✓ Update navigation.md
#
# After harvesting, run /add-context again.

Example 5: After Harvesting External Context

# After running: /context harvest

/add-context

# No external context files found in .tmp/
# Proceeding to detect existing project intelligence...
#
# ✅ Created: technical-domain.md (merged with harvested patterns)

Error Handling

Tips

Keep Simple: Focus on most common patterns, add more later Use Real Examples: Paste actual code from YOUR project Update Regularly: Run /add-context --update when patterns change Test After: Build something simple to verify agents use patterns correctly


Troubleshooting

Q: Agents not using patterns? A: Check file exists, <200 lines. Run /context validate

Q: See what's in context? A: cat .opencode/context/project-intelligence/technical-domain.md (local) or cat ~/.config/opencode/context/project-intelligence/technical-domain.md (global)

Q: Multiple context files? A: Yes! Create in your project-intelligence directory. Agents load all.

Q: Remove pattern? A: Edit directly: nano .opencode/context/project-intelligence/technical-domain.md

Q: Share w/ team? A: Yes! Use local install (.opencode/context/project-intelligence/) and commit to repo. Team members get your patterns automatically.

Q: Local vs global? A: Local (.opencode/) = project-specific, committed to git, team-shared. Global (~/.config/opencode/) = personal defaults across all projects. Local overrides global.

Q: Installed globally but want project patterns? A: Run /add-context (defaults to local). Creates .opencode/context/project-intelligence/ in your project even if OAC was installed globally.

Q: Have external context files in .tmp/? A: Run /context harvest to extract and organize them into permanent context

Q: Want to clean up .tmp/ files? A: Run /context harvest to extract knowledge and clean up temporary files

Q: Move .tmp/ files to permanent context? A: Run /context harvest to extract and organize them

Q: Update external context files? A: Edit directly: nano .tmp/external-context.md then run /context harvest

Q: Remove specific external file? A: Delete directly: rm .tmp/external-context.md then run /context harvest
