SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures that newly created or modified agents are properly integrated into the project's context-aware environment, following established conventions for consistency and functionality.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Contextual Awareness: Guarantees agents load project context (e.g., project.json, CONVENTIONS.md) on startup.
  • Convention Enforcement: Ensures agents adhere to project-specific overrides and multi-project support standards.
  • Template Generation: Optionally creates reusable agent templates for stack-agnostic use.
  • Use Case: When a new agent is developed for handling database migrations in a specific project, this skill automatically adds the necessary code to load project-specific database configurations and migration conventions, ensuring the agent functions correctly within that project's unique setup.

Quick Start

Onboard the agent located at $OPENCODE_CONFIG/agents/my-new-agent.md to ensure it is project-context aware.

What is agent context awareness and why do I need it for my project?

Agent context awareness ensures AI agents load project-specific configurations and adhere to established conventions on startup, preventing integration issues and maintaining consistent functionality across multi-project environments.

Can I create a reusable template when onboarding agents for context awareness?

Yes, you can optionally create a stack-agnostic templated version of the agent during the onboarding process, allowing you to reuse the context-aware configuration for future agents.

Does the agent onboarding process support different types of AI agents?

Yes, the onboarding process analyzes the agent type—categorizing it as Primary, Router, Specialist, or Utility—to generate and insert the appropriate project context loading sections into the agent's markdown file.

How do I ensure my new agent follows project-specific database migration conventions?

By onboarding the agent for context awareness, the skill automatically adds code to load project-specific database configurations and migration conventions, ensuring the agent functions correctly within that unique project setup.

What is the best way to integrate a new agent into a multi-project context-aware environment?

The best way to integrate a new agent is to onboard it using a skill that enforces convention adherence and guarantees it loads necessary project context files, ensuring proper multi-project support and functionality.
