# OpenCode Integration for BMAD Method V6-alpha

## Summary

Successfully implemented OpenCode integration for BMAD Method V6 following the V6 installer architecture patterns.

## What Was Done

### 1. Added Missing Dependency
**File**: `package.json`
- Added `comment-json: ^4.2.5` to dependencies
- Required for parsing JSONC files with comments

### 2. Implemented OpenCode Installer
**File**: `tools/cli/installers/lib/ide/opencode.js`
**Lines**: 590 lines of code

Implemented full-featured OpenCode installer with:

#### Core Features
- ✅ Detects existing `opencode.json` or `opencode.jsonc` files
- ✅ Creates minimal configuration if none exists
- ✅ Idempotent merges - safe to run multiple times
- ✅ Agent injection with file references: `{file:./.bmad-core/agents/<id>.md}`
- ✅ Command/task injection with file references
- ✅ Collision detection and warnings
- ✅ Expansion pack support with auto-discovery

#### Configuration Options
- ✅ Optional agent prefix: `bmad-` (e.g., `bmad-dev` instead of `dev`)
- ✅ Optional command prefix: `bmad:tasks:` (e.g., `bmad:tasks:create-doc`)
- ✅ Forced prefixes for expansion pack agents/commands

#### Documentation Generation
- ✅ Generates/updates `AGENTS.md` for system prompt memory
- ✅ Includes agent directory table with whenToUse descriptions
- ✅ Lists available tasks with source file links
- ✅ Provides usage instructions

#### Metadata Extraction
- ✅ Extracts `whenToUse` from agent YAML blocks
- ✅ Extracts `Purpose` from task files
- ✅ Cleans and summarizes descriptions for readability

### 3. Architecture Compliance
The implementation follows V6 patterns by:

- ✅ Extending `BaseIdeSetup` class
- ✅ Implementing required methods: `setup()`, `detect()`, `cleanup()`
- ✅ Implementing optional `collectConfiguration()` for user preferences
- ✅ Using shared utilities from `bmad-artifacts.js`
- ✅ Auto-discovery by IDE manager (no manual registration needed)
- ✅ Supporting `selectedModules` filtering
- ✅ Handling `preCollectedConfig` for non-interactive mode

## How It Works

### Installation Flow

1. **Configuration Collection** (if interactive):
   - Prompts user for prefix preferences
   - Stores choices for later use

2. **Setup Execution**:
   - Detects or creates `opencode.json`/`opencode.jsonc`
   - Adds BMAD `core-config.yaml` to `instructions` array
   - Adds expansion pack configs to `instructions`
   - Iterates through agents and creates entries:
     ```json
     {
       "agent": {
         "bmad-dev": {
           "prompt": "{file:./.bmad-core/agents/dev.md}",
           "mode": "all",
           "tools": { "write": true, "edit": true, "bash": true },
           "description": "Code implementation, debugging, refactoring..."
         }
       }
     }
     ```
   - Iterates through tasks and creates command entries
   - Generates/updates `AGENTS.md`

3. **Output**:
   - Summary of agents/commands added/updated/skipped
   - Created configuration file location
   - AGENTS.md generation confirmation

### Example Output Structure

**opencode.jsonc**:
```jsonc
{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "instructions": [
    ".bmad-core/core-config.yaml",
    ".bmad-core/modules/bmm/config.yaml"
  ],
  "agent": {
    "bmad-dev": {
      "prompt": "{file:./.bmad-core/agents/dev.md}",
      "mode": "all",
      "tools": { "write": true, "edit": true, "bash": true },
      "description": "Code implementation, debugging, refactoring..."
    },
    "bmad-orchestrator": {
      "prompt": "{file:./.bmad-core/agents/bmad-orchestrator.md}",
      "mode": "primary",
      "tools": { "write": true, "edit": true, "bash": true },
      "description": "Workflow coordination, multi-agent tasks..."
    }
  },
  "command": {
    "bmad:tasks:create-doc": {
      "template": "{file:./.bmad-core/tasks/create-doc.md}",
      "description": "Generate comprehensive technical documentation"
    }
  }
}
```

**AGENTS.md** (excerpt):
```markdown
<!-- BEGIN: BMAD-AGENTS-OPENCODE -->
# BMAD-METHOD Agents and Tasks (OpenCode)

## How To Use With OpenCode
- Run `opencode` in this project directory
- OpenCode will read your `opencode.json` or `opencode.jsonc` configuration
- Reference agents by their ID in your prompts (e.g., "As dev, implement...")

## Agents

| Title | ID | When To Use |
|---|---|---|
| Dev | dev | Code implementation, debugging, refactoring... |
| Orchestrator | bmad-orchestrator | Workflow coordination... |

<!-- END: BMAD-AGENTS-OPENCODE -->
```

## Key Design Decisions

### 1. File References vs. File Copying
Unlike most V6 IDEs that copy agent/task files to IDE-specific directories, OpenCode uses **file references**. This:
- Reduces duplication
- Ensures single source of truth
- Allows runtime updates without reinstallation
- Matches OpenCode's design philosophy

### 2. Prefix Strategy
- **Core agents/tasks**: Optional prefixes (user choice)
- **Expansion pack agents/tasks**: Forced prefixes to avoid collisions
- Pattern: `bmad-{module}-{name}` for agents, `bmad:{module}:{name}` for tasks

### 3. Mode Assignment
- Orchestrator agents (name contains "orchestrator"): `mode: "primary"`
- All other agents: `mode: "all"`
- Follows OpenCode's agent activation model

### 4. Collision Handling
- Detects existing entries by checking if they reference BMAD files
- Skips non-BMAD entries with warning
- Updates BMAD-managed entries safely
- Suggests enabling prefixes if collisions occur

## Testing

The implementation has been:
- ✅ Structured following V6 architecture patterns
- ✅ Auto-discovered by IDE manager
- ✅ Dependency added and installed
- ⏳ End-to-end testing pending (requires full bmad installation)

## Usage

### Installation
```bash
# Interactive (will prompt for prefix preferences)
npx bmad install -i opencode

# Programmatic (with pre-collected config)
npx bmad install -i opencode --config '{"useAgentPrefix":true,"useCommandPrefix":true}'
```

### Refresh After Updates
```bash
npx bmad install -f -i opencode
```

### Cleanup
```bash
npx bmad uninstall -i opencode
```

## Comparison: V4 vs V6 Implementation

| Aspect | V4 (tools/installer) | V6 (tools/cli) |
|--------|---------------------|----------------|
| Architecture | Monolithic ide-setup.js | Modular per-IDE files |
| Discovery | Hardcoded switch cases | Auto-discovery via manager |
| Dependencies | Separate package.json | Shared root package.json |
| Agent discovery | Custom methods | Shared bmad-artifacts.js |
| Config collection | Inline prompts | Dedicated collectConfiguration() |
| Module support | Manual tracking | selectedModules parameter |
| Cleanup | Basic removal | Surgical BMAD-only removal |

## Files Changed

5. **docs/V6_INSTALLER_ARCHITECTURE.md** - NEW: Architecture reference (from exploration)
6. **docs/V6_INSTALLER_QUICK_REFERENCE.md** - NEW: Quick reference (from exploration)

## Next Steps

1. **End-to-End Testing**: Test full installation flow with real project
2. **Documentation**: Update main README with OpenCode support
3. **CI/CD**: Add OpenCode to automated test matrix
4. **Examples**: Create sample `opencode.jsonc` configurations
5. **Migration Guide**: Document V4 → V6 OpenCode migration if needed

## Notes

- Auto-discovery ensures no manual registration needed
- Fully reversible via cleanup method
- Supports all V6 features: modules, expansion packs, selective installation
- Maintains compatibility with OpenCode's expected configuration format
