|
||||
## Model Families: Know Your Options
|
||||
|
||||
Not all models behave the same way. Understanding which models are "similar" helps you make safe substitutions.
|
||||
|
||||
### Claude-like Models (instruction-following, structured output)
|
||||
|
||||
These models respond similarly to Claude and work well with oh-my-opencode's Claude-optimized prompts:
|
||||
|
||||
| Model | Provider(s) | Notes |
|
||||
|-------|-------------|-------|
|
||||
| **Claude Opus 4.6** | anthropic, github-copilot, opencode | Best overall. Default for Sisyphus. |
|
||||
| **Claude Sonnet 4.6** | anthropic, github-copilot, opencode | Faster, cheaper. Good balance. |
|
||||
| **Claude Haiku 4.5** | anthropic, opencode | Fast and cheap. Good for quick tasks. |
|
||||
| **Kimi K2.5** | kimi-for-coding | Behaves very similarly to Claude. Great all-rounder. Default for Atlas. |
|
||||
| **Kimi K2.5 Free** | opencode | Free-tier Kimi. Rate-limited but functional. |
|
||||
| **GLM 5** | zai-coding-plan, opencode | Claude-like behavior. Good for broad tasks. |
|
||||
| **Big Pickle (GLM 4.6)** | opencode | Free-tier GLM. Decent fallback. |
|
||||
|
||||
### GPT Models (explicit reasoning, principle-driven)
|
||||
|
||||
GPT models need differently structured prompts. Some agents auto-detect GPT and switch prompts:
|
||||
|
||||
| Model | Provider(s) | Notes |
|
||||
|-------|-------------|-------|
|
||||
| **GPT-5.3-codex** | openai, github-copilot, opencode | Deep coding powerhouse. Required for Hephaestus. |
|
||||
| **GPT-5.2** | openai, github-copilot, opencode | High intelligence. Default for Oracle. |
|
||||
| **GPT-5-Nano** | opencode | Ultra-cheap, fast. Good for simple utility tasks. |
|
||||
|
||||
### Different-Behavior Models
|
||||
|
||||
These models have unique characteristics — don't assume they'll behave like Claude or GPT:
|
||||
|
||||
| Model | Provider(s) | Notes |
|
||||
|-------|-------------|-------|
|
||||
| **Gemini 3 Pro** | google, github-copilot, opencode | Excels at visual/frontend tasks. Different reasoning style. |
|
||||
| **Gemini 3 Flash** | google, github-copilot, opencode | Fast, good for doc search and light tasks. |
|
||||
| **MiniMax M2.5** | venice | Fast and smart. Good for utility tasks. |
|
||||
| **MiniMax M2.5 Free** | opencode | Free-tier MiniMax. Fast for search/retrieval. |
|
||||
|
||||
### Speed-Focused Models
|
||||
|
||||
| Model | Provider(s) | Speed | Notes |
|
||||
|-------|-------------|-------|-------|
|
||||
| **Grok Code Fast 1** | github-copilot, venice | Very fast | Optimized for code grep/search. Default for Explore. |
|
||||
| **Claude Haiku 4.5** | anthropic, opencode | Fast | Good balance of speed and intelligence. |
|
||||
| **MiniMax M2.5 (Free)** | opencode, venice | Fast | Smart for its speed class. |
|
||||
| **GPT-5.3-codex-spark** | openai | Extremely fast | Blazing fast but compacts so aggressively that oh-my-opencode's context management doesn't work well with it. Not recommended for omo agents. |
|
||||

||||
## Agent Roles and Recommended Models
|
||||
|
||||
### Claude-Optimized Agents
|
||||
|
||||
These agents have prompts tuned for Claude-family models. Use Claude > Kimi K2.5 > GLM 5 in that priority order.
|
||||
|
||||
| Agent | Role | Default Chain | What It Does |
|
||||
|-------|------|---------------|--------------|
|
||||
| **Sisyphus** | Main ultraworker | Opus (max) → Kimi K2.5 → GLM 5 → Big Pickle | Primary coding agent. Orchestrates everything. **Never use GPT — no GPT prompt exists.** |
|
||||
| **Metis** | Plan review | Opus (max) → Kimi K2.5 → GPT-5.2 → Gemini 3 Pro | Reviews Prometheus plans for gaps. |
|
||||
|
||||
### Dual-Prompt Agents (Claude + GPT auto-switch)
|
||||
|
||||
These agents detect your model family at runtime and switch to the appropriate prompt. If you have GPT access, these agents can use it effectively.
|
||||
|
||||
Priority: **Claude > GPT > Claude-like models**
|
||||
|
||||
| Agent | Role | Default Chain | GPT Prompt? |
|
||||
|-------|------|---------------|-------------|
|
||||
| **Prometheus** | Strategic planner | Opus (max) → **GPT-5.2 (high)** → Kimi K2.5 → Gemini 3 Pro | Yes — XML-tagged, principle-driven (~300 lines vs ~1,100 Claude) |
|
||||
| **Atlas** | Todo orchestrator | **Kimi K2.5** → Sonnet → GPT-5.2 | Yes — GPT-optimized todo management |
|
||||
|
||||
### GPT-Native Agents
|
||||
|
||||
These agents are built for GPT. Don't override to Claude.
|
||||
|
||||
| Agent | Role | Default Chain | Notes |
|
||||
|-------|------|---------------|-------|
|
||||
| **Hephaestus** | Deep autonomous worker | GPT-5.3-codex (medium) only | "Codex on steroids." No fallback. Requires GPT access. |
|
||||
| **Oracle** | Architecture/debugging | GPT-5.2 (high) → Gemini 3 Pro → Opus | High-IQ strategic backup. GPT preferred. |
|
||||
| **Momus** | High-accuracy reviewer | GPT-5.2 (medium) → Opus → Gemini 3 Pro | Verification agent. GPT preferred. |
|
||||
|
||||
### Utility Agents (Speed > Intelligence)
|
||||
|
||||
These agents do search, grep, and retrieval. They intentionally use fast, cheap models. **Don't "upgrade" them to Opus — it wastes tokens on simple tasks.**
|
||||
|
||||
| Agent | Role | Default Chain | Design Rationale |
|
||||
|-------|------|---------------|------------------|
|
||||
| **Explore** | Fast codebase grep | MiniMax M2.5 Free → Grok Code Fast → MiniMax M2.5 → Haiku → GPT-5-Nano | Speed is everything. Grok is blazing fast for grep. |
|
||||
| **Librarian** | Docs/code search | MiniMax M2.5 Free → Gemini Flash → Big Pickle | Entirely free-tier. Doc retrieval doesn't need deep reasoning. |
|
||||
| **Multimodal Looker** | Vision/screenshots | Kimi K2.5 → Kimi Free → Gemini Flash → GPT-5.2 → GLM-4.6v | Kimi excels at multimodal understanding. |
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Task Categories
|
||||
|
||||
Categories control which model is used for `background_task` and `delegate_task`. See the [Orchestration System Guide](./understanding-orchestration-system.md) for how agents dispatch tasks to categories.
|
||||
|
||||
| Category | When Used | Recommended Models | Notes |
|
||||
|----------|-----------|-------------------|-------|
|
||||
| `visual-engineering` | Frontend, UI, CSS, design | Gemini 3 Pro (high) → GLM 5 → Opus → Kimi K2.5 | Gemini dominates visual tasks |
|
||||
| `ultrabrain` | Maximum reasoning needed | GPT-5.3-codex (xhigh) → Gemini 3 Pro → Opus | Highest intelligence available |
|
||||
| `deep` | Deep coding, complex logic | GPT-5.3-codex (medium) → Opus → Gemini 3 Pro | Requires GPT availability |
|
||||
| `artistry` | Creative, novel approaches | Gemini 3 Pro (high) → Opus → GPT-5.2 | Requires Gemini availability |
|
||||
| `quick` | Simple, fast tasks | Haiku → Gemini Flash → GPT-5-Nano | Cheapest and fastest |
|
||||
| `unspecified-high` | General complex work | Opus (max) → GPT-5.2 (high) → Gemini 3 Pro | Default when no category fits |
|
||||
| `unspecified-low` | General standard work | Sonnet → GPT-5.3-codex (medium) → Gemini Flash | Everyday tasks |
|
||||
| `writing` | Text, docs, prose | Kimi K2.5 → Gemini Flash → Sonnet | Kimi produces best prose |
|
||||

||||
|
||||
## Why Different Models Need Different Prompts
|
||||
|
||||
Claude and GPT models have fundamentally different instruction-following behaviors:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Claude models** respond well to **mechanics-driven** prompts — detailed checklists, templates, step-by-step procedures. More rules = more compliance.
|
||||
- **GPT models** (especially 5.2+) respond better to **principle-driven** prompts — concise principles, XML-tagged structure, explicit decision criteria. More rules = more contradiction surface = more drift.
|
||||
|
||||
Key insight from Codex Plan Mode analysis:
|
||||
- Codex Plan Mode achieves the same results with 3 principles in ~121 lines that Prometheus's Claude prompt needs ~1,100 lines across 7 files
|
||||
- The core concept is **"Decision Complete"** — a plan must leave ZERO decisions to the implementer
|
||||
- GPT follows this literally when stated as a principle; Claude needs enforcement mechanisms
|
||||
|
||||
This is why Prometheus and Atlas ship separate prompts per model family — they auto-detect and switch at runtime via `isGptModel()`.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Customization Guide
|
||||
|
||||
### How to Customize
|
||||
|
||||
Override in `oh-my-opencode.json`:
|
||||
|
||||
```jsonc
|
||||
{
|
||||
"agents": {
|
||||
"sisyphus": { "model": "kimi-for-coding/k2p5" },
|
||||
"prometheus": { "model": "openai/gpt-5.2" } // Auto-switches to GPT prompt
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Selection Priority
|
||||
|
||||
When choosing models for Claude-optimized agents:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Claude (Opus/Sonnet) > GPT (if agent has dual prompt) > Claude-like (Kimi K2.5, GLM 5)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When choosing models for GPT-native agents:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
GPT (5.3-codex, 5.2) > Claude Opus (decent fallback) > Gemini (acceptable)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Safe vs Dangerous Overrides
|
||||
|
||||
**Safe** (same family):
|
||||
- Sisyphus: Opus → Sonnet, Kimi K2.5, GLM 5
|
||||
- Prometheus: Opus → GPT-5.2 (auto-switches prompt)
|
||||
- Atlas: Kimi K2.5 → Sonnet, GPT-5.2 (auto-switches)
|
||||
|
||||
**Dangerous** (no prompt support):
|
||||
- Sisyphus → GPT: **No GPT prompt. Will degrade significantly.**
|
||||
- Hephaestus → Claude: **Built for Codex. Claude can't replicate this.**
|
||||
- Explore → Opus: **Massive cost waste. Explore needs speed, not intelligence.**
|
||||
- Librarian → Opus: **Same. Doc search doesn't need Opus-level reasoning.**
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Provider Priority
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Native (anthropic/, openai/, google/) > Kimi for Coding > GitHub Copilot > Venice > OpenCode Zen > Z.ai Coding Plan
|
||||
```

#### What Each Agent Does and Which Model It Got
|
||||
|
||||
Based on your subscriptions, here's how the agents were configured:
|
||||
|
||||
**Claude-Optimized Agents** (prompts tuned for Claude-family models):
|
||||
|

| Agent | Role | Default Chain | What It Does |

|
||||
|
||||
#### Why Different Models Need Different Prompts
|
||||
|
||||
Claude and GPT models have fundamentally different instruction-following behaviors:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Claude models** respond well to **mechanics-driven** prompts — detailed checklists, templates, step-by-step procedures. More rules = more compliance.
|
||||
- **GPT models** (especially 5.2+) respond better to **principle-driven** prompts — concise principles, XML-tagged structure, explicit decision criteria. More rules = more contradiction surface = more drift.
|
||||
|
||||
Key insight from Codex Plan Mode analysis:
|
||||
- Codex Plan Mode achieves the same results with 3 principles in ~121 lines that Prometheus's Claude prompt needs ~1,100 lines across 7 files
|
||||
- The core concept is **"Decision Complete"** — a plan must leave ZERO decisions to the implementer
|

- GPT follows this literally when stated as a principle; Claude needs enforcement mechanisms
|
||||
|
||||
This is why Prometheus and Atlas ship separate prompts per model family — they auto-detect and switch at runtime via `isGptModel()`.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Custom Model Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
If the user wants to override which model an agent uses, you can customize in `oh-my-opencode.json`:
|
||||
|
||||
```jsonc
|
||||
{
|
||||
"agents": {
|
||||
"sisyphus": { "model": "kimi-for-coding/k2p5" },
|
||||
"prometheus": { "model": "openai/gpt-5.2" } // Auto-switches to GPT prompt
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Selection Priority:**
|
||||
|
||||
When choosing models for Claude-optimized agents:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Claude (Opus/Sonnet) > GPT (if agent has dual prompt) > Claude-like (Kimi K2.5, GLM 5)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When choosing models for GPT-native agents:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
GPT (5.3-codex, 5.2) > Claude Opus (decent fallback) > Gemini (acceptable)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Safe vs Dangerous Overrides:**
|
||||
|
||||
**Safe** (same family):
|
||||
- Sisyphus: Opus → Sonnet, Kimi K2.5, GLM 5
|
||||
- Prometheus: Opus → GPT-5.2 (auto-switches prompt)
|
||||
- Atlas: Kimi K2.5 → Sonnet, GPT-5.2 (auto-switches)
|
||||
|
||||
**Dangerous** (no prompt support):
|
||||
- Sisyphus → GPT: **No GPT prompt. Will degrade significantly.**
|
||||
- Hephaestus → Claude: **Built for Codex. Claude can't replicate this.**
|
||||
- Explore → Opus: **Massive cost waste. Explore needs speed, not intelligence.**
|
||||
- Librarian → Opus: **Same. Doc search doesn't need Opus-level reasoning.**
|
||||
|
||||
#### Provider Priority Chain
|
||||
|
||||
When multiple providers are available, oh-my-opencode uses this priority:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Native (anthropic/, openai/, google/) > Kimi for Coding > GitHub Copilot > Venice > OpenCode Zen > Z.ai Coding Plan
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### ⚠️ Warning
|
||||
|
||||
**Unless the user explicitly requests it, do not change model settings or disable features (agents, hooks, MCPs).**
|
||||
|
||||
The plugin works perfectly by default. Do not change settings or turn off features without an explicit request.
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom Model Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
If the user wants to override which model an agent uses, refer to the **[Agent-Model Matching Guide](./agent-model-matching.md)** before making changes. That guide explains:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Why each agent uses its default model** — prompt optimization, model family compatibility
|
||||
- **Which substitutions are safe** — staying within the same model family (e.g., Opus → Sonnet for Sisyphus)
|
||||
- **Which substitutions are dangerous** — crossing model families without prompt support (e.g., GPT for Sisyphus)
|
||||
- **How auto-routing works** — Prometheus and Atlas detect GPT models and switch to GPT-optimized prompts automatically
|
||||
- **Full fallback chains** — what happens when the preferred model is unavailable
|
||||
|
||||
Always explain to the user *why* a model is assigned to an agent when making custom changes. The guide provides the rationale for every assignment.
|
||||
|
||||

# Orchestration System Guide
|
||||
|
||||
Oh My OpenCode's orchestration system transforms a simple AI agent into a coordinated development team through **separation of planning and execution**.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## TL;DR - When to Use What
|
||||
|
||||
| Complexity | Approach | When to Use |
|
||||
|------------|----------|-------------|
|
||||
| **Simple** | Just prompt | Simple tasks, quick fixes, single-file changes |
|
||||
| **Complex + Lazy** | Type `ulw` or `ultrawork` | Complex tasks where explaining context is tedious. Agent figures it out. |
|
||||
| **Complex + Precise** | `@plan` → `/start-work` | Precise, multi-step work requiring true orchestration. Prometheus plans, Atlas executes. |
|
||||
|
||||
**Decision Flow:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Is it a quick fix or simple task?
|
||||
└─ YES → Just prompt normally
|
||||
└─ NO → Is explaining the full context tedious?
|
||||
└─ YES → Type "ulw" and let the agent figure it out
|
||||
└─ NO → Do you need precise, verifiable execution?
|
||||
└─ YES → Use @plan for Prometheus planning, then /start-work
|
||||
└─ NO → Just use "ulw"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## The Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
The orchestration system uses a three-layer architecture that solves context overload, cognitive drift, and verification gaps through specialization and delegation.

## Planning: Prometheus + Metis + Momus
|
||||
|
||||
### Prometheus: Your Strategic Consultant
|
||||
|
||||
Prometheus is not just a planner, it's an intelligent interviewer that helps you think through what you actually need. It is **READ-ONLY** - can only create or modify markdown files within `.sisyphus/` directory.
|
||||
|
||||
**The Interview Process:**
|
||||
|
||||
```mermaid
|
||||
stateDiagram-v2
|
||||
[*] --> Interview: User describes work
|
||||
Interview --> Research: Launch explore/librarian agents
|
||||
Research --> Interview: Gather codebase context
|
||||
Interview --> ClearanceCheck: After each response
|
||||
|
||||
ClearanceCheck --> Interview: Requirements unclear
|
||||
ClearanceCheck --> PlanGeneration: All requirements clear
|
||||
|
||||
state ClearanceCheck {
|
||||
[*] --> Check
|
||||
Check: Core objective defined?
|
||||
Check: Scope boundaries established?
|
||||
Check: No critical ambiguities?
|
||||
Check: Technical approach decided?
|
||||
Check: Test strategy confirmed?
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
PlanGeneration --> MetisConsult: Mandatory gap analysis
|
||||
MetisConsult --> WritePlan: Incorporate findings
|
||||
WritePlan --> HighAccuracyChoice: Present to user
|
||||
|
||||
HighAccuracyChoice --> MomusLoop: User wants high accuracy
|
||||
HighAccuracyChoice --> Done: User accepts plan
|
||||
|
||||
MomusLoop --> WritePlan: REJECTED - fix issues
|
||||
MomusLoop --> Done: OKAY - plan approved
|
||||
|
||||
Done --> [*]: Guide to /start-work
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Intent-Specific Strategies:**
|
||||
|
||||
Prometheus adapts its interview style based on what you're doing:
|
||||
|
||||
| Intent | Prometheus Focus | Example Questions |
|
||||
|--------|------------------|-------------------|
|
||||
| **Refactoring** | Safety - behavior preservation | "What tests verify current behavior?" "Rollback strategy?" |
|
||||
| **Build from Scratch** | Discovery - patterns first | "Found pattern X in codebase. Follow it or deviate?" |
|
||||
| **Mid-sized Task** | Guardrails - exact boundaries | "What must NOT be included? Hard constraints?" |
|
||||
| **Architecture** | Strategic - long-term impact | "Expected lifespan? Scale requirements?" |
|
||||
|
||||
### Metis: The Gap Analyzer
|
||||
|
||||
Before Prometheus writes the plan, Metis catches what Prometheus missed:
|
||||
|
||||
- Hidden intentions in user's request
|
||||
- Ambiguities that could derail implementation
|
||||
- AI-slop patterns (over-engineering, scope creep)
|
||||
- Missing acceptance criteria
|
||||
- Edge cases not addressed
|
||||
|
||||
**Why Metis Exists:**
|
||||
|
||||
The plan author (Prometheus) has "ADHD working memory" - it makes connections that never make it onto the page. Metis forces externalization of implicit knowledge.
|
||||
|
||||
### Momus: The Ruthless Reviewer
|
||||
|
||||
For high-accuracy mode, Momus validates plans against four core criteria:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Clarity**: Does each task specify WHERE to find implementation details?
|
||||
2. **Verification**: Are acceptance criteria concrete and measurable?
|
||||
3. **Context**: Is there sufficient context to proceed without >10% guesswork?
|
||||
4. **Big Picture**: Is the purpose, background, and workflow clear?
|
||||
|
||||
**The Momus Loop:**
|
||||
|
||||
Momus only says "OKAY" when:
|
||||
- 100% of file references verified
|
||||
- ≥80% of tasks have clear reference sources
|
||||
- ≥90% of tasks have concrete acceptance criteria
|
||||
- Zero tasks require assumptions about business logic
|
||||
- Zero critical red flags
|
||||
|
||||
If REJECTED, Prometheus fixes issues and resubmits. No maximum retry limit.
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## Execution: Atlas
|
||||
|
||||
### The Conductor Mindset
|
||||
|
||||
Atlas is like an orchestra conductor: it doesn't play instruments, it ensures perfect harmony.
|
||||
|
||||
```mermaid
|
||||
flowchart LR
|
||||
subgraph Orchestrator["Atlas"]
|
||||
Read["1. Read Plan"]
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
Report["6. Final Report"]
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
Read --> Analyze
|
||||
Analyze --> Wisdom
|
||||
Wisdom --> Delegate
|
||||
Delegate --> Verify
|
||||
Verify -->|"More tasks"| Delegate
|
||||
Verify -->|"All done"| Report
|
||||
|
||||
Delegate -->|"background=false"| Workers["Workers"]
|
||||
Workers -->|"Results + Learnings"| Verify
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**What Atlas CAN do:**
|
||||
- Read files to understand context
|
||||
- Run commands to verify results
|
||||
- Use lsp_diagnostics to check for errors
|
||||
- Search patterns with grep/glob/ast-grep
|
||||
|
||||
**What Atlas MUST delegate:**
|
||||
- Writing or editing code files
|
||||
- Fixing bugs
|
||||
- Creating tests
|
||||
- Git commits
|
||||
|
||||
### Wisdom Accumulation
|
||||
|
||||
The power of orchestration is cumulative learning. After each task:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Extract learnings from subagent's response
|
||||
2. Categorize into: Conventions, Successes, Failures, Gotchas, Commands
|
||||
3. Pass forward to ALL subsequent subagents
|
||||
|
||||
This prevents repeating mistakes and ensures consistent patterns.
|
||||
|
||||
**Notepad System:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
.sisyphus/notepads/{plan-name}/
|
||||
├── learnings.md # Patterns, conventions, successful approaches
|
||||
├── decisions.md # Architectural choices and rationales
|
||||
├── issues.md # Problems, blockers, gotchas encountered
|
||||
├── verification.md # Test results, validation outcomes
|
||||
└── problems.md # Unresolved issues, technical debt
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Workers: Sisyphus-Junior and Specialists
|
||||
|
||||
### Sisyphus-Junior: The Task Executor
|
||||
|
||||
Junior is the workhorse that actually writes code. Key characteristics:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Focused**: Cannot delegate (blocked from task tool)
|
||||
- **Disciplined**: Obsessive todo tracking
|
||||
- **Verified**: Must pass lsp_diagnostics before completion
|
||||
- **Constrained**: Cannot modify plan files (READ-ONLY)
|
||||
|
||||
**Why Sonnet is Sufficient:**
|
||||
|
||||
Junior doesn't need to be the smartest - it needs to be reliable. With:
|
||||
1. Detailed prompts from Atlas (50-200 lines)
|
||||
2. Accumulated wisdom passed forward
|
||||
3. Clear MUST DO / MUST NOT DO constraints
|
||||
4. Verification requirements
|
||||
|
||||
Even a mid-tier model executes precisely. The intelligence is in the **system**, not individual agents.
|
||||
|
||||
### System Reminder Mechanism
|
||||
|
||||
The hook system ensures Junior never stops halfway:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[SYSTEM REMINDER - TODO CONTINUATION]
|
||||
|
||||
You have incomplete todos! Complete ALL before responding:
|
||||
- [ ] Implement user service ← IN PROGRESS
|
||||
- [ ] Add validation
|
||||
- [ ] Write tests
|
||||
|
||||
DO NOT respond until all todos are marked completed.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This "boulder pushing" mechanism is why the system is named after Sisyphus.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Category + Skill System
|
||||
|
||||
### Why Categories are Revolutionary
|
||||
|
||||
**The Problem with Model Names:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// OLD: Model name creates distributional bias
|
||||
task(agent="gpt-5.2", prompt="...") // Model knows its limitations
|
||||
task(agent="claude-opus-4.6", prompt="...") // Different self-perception
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**The Solution: Semantic Categories:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// NEW: Category describes INTENT, not implementation
|
||||
task(category="ultrabrain", prompt="...") // "Think strategically"
|
||||
task(category="visual-engineering", prompt="...") // "Design beautifully"
|
||||
task(category="quick", prompt="...") // "Just get it done fast"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Built-in Categories
|
||||
|
||||
| Category | Model | When to Use |
|
||||
|----------|-------|-------------|
|
||||
| `visual-engineering` | Gemini 3 Pro | Frontend, UI/UX, design, styling, animation |
|
||||
| `ultrabrain` | GPT-5.3 Codex (xhigh) | Deep logical reasoning, complex architecture decisions |
|
||||
| `artistry` | Gemini 3 Pro (max) | Highly creative or artistic tasks, novel ideas |
|
||||
| `quick` | Claude Haiku 4.5 | Trivial tasks - single file changes, typo fixes |
|
||||
| `deep` | GPT-5.3 Codex (medium) | Goal-oriented autonomous problem-solving, thorough research |
|
||||
| `unspecified-low` | Claude Sonnet 4.6 | Tasks that don't fit other categories, low effort |
|
||||
| `unspecified-high` | Claude Opus 4.6 (max) | Tasks that don't fit other categories, high effort |
|
||||
| `writing` | K2P5 (Kimi) | Documentation, prose, technical writing |
|
||||
|
||||
### Skills: Domain-Specific Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
Skills prepend specialized instructions to subagent prompts:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Category + Skill combination
|
||||
task(
|
||||
category="visual-engineering",
|
||||
load_skills=["frontend-ui-ux"], // Adds UI/UX expertise
|
||||
prompt="..."
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
task(
|
||||
category="general",
|
||||
load_skills=["playwright"], // Adds browser automation expertise
|
||||
prompt="..."
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### How to Invoke Prometheus
|
||||
|
||||
**Method 1: Switch to Prometheus Agent (Tab → Select Prometheus)**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. Press Tab at the prompt
|
||||
2. Select "Prometheus" from the agent list
|
||||
3. Describe your work: "I want to refactor the auth system"
|
||||
4. Answer interview questions
|
||||
5. Prometheus creates plan in .sisyphus/plans/{name}.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Method 2: Use @plan Command (in Sisyphus)**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. Stay in Sisyphus (default agent)
|
||||
2. Type: @plan "I want to refactor the auth system"
|
||||
3. The @plan command automatically switches to Prometheus
|
||||
4. Answer interview questions
|
||||
5. Prometheus creates plan in .sisyphus/plans/{name}.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Which Should You Use?**
|
||||
|
||||
| Scenario | Recommended Method | Why |
|
||||
|----------|-------------------|-----|
|
||||
| **New session, starting fresh** | Switch to Prometheus agent | Clean mental model - you're entering "planning mode" |
|
||||
| **Already in Sisyphus, mid-work** | Use @plan | Convenient, no agent switch needed |
|
||||
| **Want explicit control** | Switch to Prometheus agent | Clear separation of planning vs execution contexts |
|
||||
| **Quick planning interrupt** | Use @plan | Fastest path from current context |
|
||||
|
||||
Both methods trigger the same Prometheus planning flow. The @plan command is simply a convenience shortcut.
|
||||
|
||||
### /start-work Behavior and Session Continuity
|
||||
|
||||
**What Happens When You Run /start-work:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
User: /start-work
|
||||
↓
|
||||
[start-work hook activates]
|
||||
↓
|
||||
Check: Does .sisyphus/boulder.json exist?
|
||||
↓
|
||||
├─ YES (existing work) → RESUME MODE
|
||||
│ - Read the existing boulder state
|
||||
│ - Calculate progress (checked vs unchecked boxes)
|
||||
│ - Inject continuation prompt with remaining tasks
|
||||
│ - Atlas continues where you left off
|
||||
│
|
||||
└─ NO (fresh start) → INIT MODE
|
||||
- Find the most recent plan in .sisyphus/plans/
|
||||
- Create new boulder.json tracking this plan
|
||||
- Switch session agent to Atlas
|
||||
- Begin execution from task 1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Session Continuity Explained:**
|
||||
|
||||
The `boulder.json` file tracks:
|
||||
- **active_plan**: Path to the current plan file
|
||||
- **session_ids**: All sessions that have worked on this plan
|
||||
- **started_at**: When work began
|
||||
- **plan_name**: Human-readable plan identifier
|
||||
|
||||
**Example Timeline:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Monday 9:00 AM
|
||||
└─ @plan "Build user authentication"
|
||||
└─ Prometheus interviews and creates plan
|
||||
└─ User: /start-work
|
||||
└─ Atlas begins execution, creates boulder.json
|
||||
└─ Task 1 complete, Task 2 in progress...
|
||||
└─ [Session ends - computer crash, user logout, etc.]
|
||||
|
||||
Monday 2:00 PM (NEW SESSION)
|
||||
└─ User opens new session (agent = Sisyphus by default)
|
||||
└─ User: /start-work
|
||||
└─ [start-work hook reads boulder.json]
|
||||
└─ "Resuming 'Build user authentication' - 3 of 8 tasks complete"
|
||||
└─ Atlas continues from Task 3 (no context lost)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Atlas is automatically activated when you run `/start-work`. You don't need to manually switch to Atlas.
|
||||
|
||||
### Hephaestus vs Sisyphus + ultrawork
|
||||
|
||||
**Quick Comparison:**
|
||||
|
||||
| Aspect | Hephaestus | Sisyphus + `ulw` / `ultrawork` |
|
||||
|--------|-----------|-------------------------------|
|
||||
| **Model** | GPT-5.3 Codex (medium reasoning) | Claude Opus 4.6 (your default) |
|
||||
| **Approach** | Autonomous deep worker | Keyword-activated ultrawork mode |
|
||||
| **Best For** | Complex architectural work, deep reasoning | General complex tasks, "just do it" scenarios |
|
||||
| **Planning** | Self-plans during execution | Uses Prometheus plans if available |
|
||||
| **Delegation** | Heavy use of explore/librarian agents | Uses category-based delegation |
|
||||
| **Temperature** | 0.1 | 0.1 |
|
||||
|
||||
**When to Use Hephaestus:**
|
||||
|
||||
Switch to Hephaestus (Tab → Select Hephaestus) when:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Deep architectural reasoning needed**
|
||||
- "Design a new plugin system"
|
||||
- "Refactor this monolith into microservices"
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Complex debugging requiring inference chains**
|
||||
- "Why does this race condition only happen on Tuesdays?"
|
||||
- "Trace this memory leak through 15 files"
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Cross-domain knowledge synthesis**
|
||||
- "Integrate our Rust core with the TypeScript frontend"
|
||||
- "Migrate from MongoDB to PostgreSQL with zero downtime"
|
||||
|
||||
4. **You specifically want GPT-5.3 Codex reasoning**
|
||||
- Some problems benefit from GPT-5.3 Codex's training characteristics
|
||||
|
||||
**When to Use Sisyphus + `ulw`:**
|
||||
|
||||
Use the `ulw` keyword in Sisyphus when:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **You want the agent to figure it out**
|
||||
- "ulw fix the failing tests"
|
||||
- "ulw add input validation to the API"
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Complex but well-scoped tasks**
|
||||
- "ulw implement JWT authentication following our patterns"
|
||||
- "ulw create a new CLI command for deployments"
|
||||
|
||||
3. **You're feeling lazy** (officially supported use case)
|
||||
- Don't want to write detailed requirements
|
||||
- Trust the agent to explore and decide
|
||||
|
||||
4. **You want to leverage existing plans**
|
||||
- If a Prometheus plan exists, `ulw` mode can use it
|
||||
- Falls back to autonomous exploration if no plan
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **For most users**: Use `ulw` keyword in Sisyphus. It's the default path and works excellently for 90% of complex tasks.
|
||||
- **For power users**: Switch to Hephaestus when you specifically need GPT-5.3 Codex's reasoning style or want the "AmpCode deep mode" experience of fully autonomous exploration and execution.

## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
You can control related features in `oh-my-opencode.json`:
|
||||
|
||||
```jsonc
|
||||
{
|
||||
"sisyphus_agent": {
|
||||
"disabled": false, // Enable Atlas orchestration (default: false)
|
||||
"planner_enabled": true, // Enable Prometheus (default: true)
|
||||
"replace_plan": true // Replace default plan agent with Prometheus (default: true)
|
||||
},
|
||||
|
||||
// Hook settings (add to disable)
|
||||
"disabled_hooks": [
|
||||
// "start-work", // Disable execution trigger
|
||||
// "prometheus-md-only" // Remove Prometheus write restrictions (not recommended)
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### "I switched to Prometheus but nothing happened"
|
||||
|
||||
Prometheus enters interview mode by default. It will ask you questions about your requirements. Answer them, then say "make it a plan" when ready.
|
||||
|
||||
### "/start-work says 'no active plan found'"
|
||||
|
||||
Either:
|
||||
- No plans exist in `.sisyphus/plans/` → Create one with Prometheus first
|
||||
- Plans exist but boulder.json points elsewhere → Delete `.sisyphus/boulder.json` and retry
|
||||
|
||||
### "I'm in Atlas but I want to switch back to normal mode"
|
||||
|
||||
Type `exit` or start a new session. Atlas is primarily entered via `/start-work` - you don't typically "switch to Atlas" manually.
|
||||
|
||||
### "What's the difference between @plan and just switching to Prometheus?"
|
||||
|
||||
**Nothing functional.** Both invoke Prometheus. @plan is a convenience command while switching agents is explicit control. Use whichever feels natural.
|
||||
|
||||
### "Should I use Hephaestus or type ulw?"
|
||||
|
||||
**For most tasks**: Type `ulw` in Sisyphus.
|
||||
|
||||
**Use Hephaestus when**: You specifically need GPT-5.3 Codex's reasoning style for deep architectural work or complex debugging.

# Oh My OpenCode Overview
|
||||
# What Is Oh My OpenCode?
|
||||
|
||||
Learn about Oh My OpenCode, a plugin that transforms OpenCode into the best agent harness.
|
||||
Oh My OpenCode is a multi-model agent orchestration harness for OpenCode. It transforms a single AI agent into a coordinated development team that actually ships code.
|
||||
|
||||
Not locked to Claude. Not locked to OpenAI. Not locked to anyone.
|
||||
|
||||
Just better results, cheaper models, real orchestration.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## TL;DR
|
||||
## The Old Framing Is Dead
|
||||
|
||||
> **Sisyphus agent strongly recommends Opus 4.6 model. Using other models may result in significantly degraded experience.**
|
||||
We used to call this "Claude Code on steroids." That was wrong.
|
||||
|
||||
**Feeling lazy?** Just include `ultrawork` (or `ulw`) in your prompt. That's it. The agent figures out the rest.
|
||||
This isn't about making Claude Code better. It's about breaking free from the idea that one model, one provider, one way of working is enough. Anthropic wants you locked in. OpenAI wants you locked in. Everyone wants you locked in.
|
||||
|
||||
**Need precision?** Press **Tab** to enter Prometheus (Planner) mode, create a work plan through an interview process, then run `/start-work` to execute it with full orchestration.
|
||||
Oh My OpenCode doesn't play that game. It orchestrates across models, picking the right brain for the right job. Claude for orchestration. GPT for deep reasoning. Gemini for frontend. Haiku for quick tasks. All working together, automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## What Oh My OpenCode Does for You
|
||||
## Meet the Agents
|
||||
|
||||
- **Build features from descriptions**: Just tell the agent what you want. It makes a plan, writes the code, and ensures it works. Automatically. You don't have to care about the details.
|
||||
- **Debug and fix issues**: Describe a bug or paste an error. The agent analyzes your codebase, identifies the problem, and implements a fix.
|
||||
- **Navigate any codebase**: Ask anything about your codebase. The agent maintains awareness of your entire project structure.
|
||||
- **Automate tedious tasks**: Fix lint issues, resolve merge conflicts, write release notes - all in a single command.
|
||||
### Sisyphus: The Discipline Agent
|
||||
|
||||
Named after the Greek myth. He rolls the boulder every day. Never stops. Never gives up.
|
||||
|
||||
Sisyphus is your main orchestrator. He plans, delegates to specialists, and drives tasks to completion with aggressive parallel execution. He doesn't stop halfway. He doesn't get distracted. He finishes.
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommended models:**
|
||||
- **Claude Opus 4.6** - Best overall experience. Sisyphus was built with Claude-optimized prompts.
|
||||
- **Claude Sonnet 4.6** - Good balance of capability and cost.
|
||||
- **Kimi K2.5** - Great Claude-like alternative. Many users run this combo exclusively.
|
||||
- **GLM 5** - Solid option, especially via Z.ai.
|
||||
|
||||
Sisyphus has Claude-optimized prompts. No GPT prompt exists for Sisyphus. Claude-family models work best because that's what the prompts were engineered for.
|
||||
|
||||
### Hephaestus: The Legitimate Craftsman
|
||||
|
||||
Named with intentional irony. Anthropic blocked OpenCode from using their API because of this project. So the team built an autonomous GPT-native agent instead.
|
||||
|
||||
Hephaestus runs on GPT-5.3 Codex. Give him a goal, not a recipe. He explores the codebase, researches patterns, and executes end-to-end without hand-holding. He is the legitimate craftsman because he was born from necessity, not privilege.
|
||||
|
||||
Use Hephaestus when you need deep architectural reasoning, complex debugging across many files, or cross-domain knowledge synthesis. Switch to him explicitly when the work demands GPT-5.3 Codex's particular strengths.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Better Than Pure Codex
|
||||
|
||||
Sisyphus + Hephaestus outperform vanilla Codex CLI. Here's why:
|
||||
|
||||
**Multi-model orchestration.** Pure Codex is single-model. Oh My OpenCode routes different tasks to different models automatically. GPT for deep reasoning. Gemini for frontend. Haiku for speed tasks. The right brain for the right job.
|
||||
|
||||
**Background agents.** Fire 5+ agents in parallel. Something Codex simply cannot do. While one agent writes code, another researches patterns, another checks documentation. Like a real dev team.
|
||||
|
||||
**Category system.** Tasks are routed by intent, not model name. `category="visual-engineering"` gets Gemini. `category="ultrabrain"` gets GPT-5.3 Codex. `category="quick"` gets Haiku. No manual juggling.
|
||||
|
||||
**Accumulated wisdom.** Subagents learn from previous results. Conventions discovered in task 1 are passed to task 5. Mistakes made early aren't repeated. The system gets smarter as it works.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## The Intent Gate
|
||||
|
||||
Before acting on any request, Sisyphus classifies your true intent.
|
||||
|
||||
Are you asking for research? Implementation? Investigation? A fix? The Intent Gate figures out what you actually want, not just the literal words you typed. This means the agent understands context, nuance, and the real goal behind your request.
|
||||
|
||||
Regular Codex doesn't have this. It takes your prompt and runs. Oh My OpenCode thinks first, then acts.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Two Ways to Work
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 1: Ultrawork Mode (For Quick Work)
|
||||
### Ultrawork Mode: For the Lazy
|
||||
|
||||
If you're feeling lazy, just include **`ultrawork`** (or **`ulw`**) in your prompt:
|
||||
Type `ultrawork` or just `ulw`. That's it.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
ulw add authentication to my Next.js app
|
||||
```
|
||||
The agent figures everything out. Explores your codebase. Researches patterns. Implements the feature. Verifies with diagnostics. Keeps working until done.
|
||||
|
||||
The agent will automatically:
|
||||
1. Explore your codebase to understand existing patterns
|
||||
2. Research best practices via specialized agents
|
||||
3. Implement the feature following your conventions
|
||||
4. Verify with diagnostics and tests
|
||||
5. Keep working until complete
|
||||
This is the "just do it" mode. Full automatic. You don't have to think deep because the agent thinks deep for you.
|
||||
|
||||
This is the "just do it" mode. Full automatic mode.
|
||||
The agent is already smart enough, so it explores the codebase and make plans itself.
|
||||
**You don't have to think that deep. Agent will think that deep.**
|
||||
### Prometheus Mode: For the Precise
|
||||
|
||||
### Option 2: Prometheus Mode (For Precise Work)
|
||||
Press **Tab** to enter Prometheus mode.
|
||||
|
||||
For complex or critical tasks, press **Tab** to switch to Prometheus (Planner) mode.
|
||||
Prometheus interviews you like a real engineer. Asks clarifying questions. Identifies scope and ambiguities. Builds a detailed plan before a single line of code is touched.
|
||||
|
||||
**How it works:**
|
||||
Then run `/start-work` and Atlas takes over. Tasks are distributed to specialized subagents. Each completion is verified independently. Learnings accumulate across tasks. Progress tracks across sessions.
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Prometheus interviews you** - Acts as your personal consultant, asking clarifying questions while researching your codebase to understand exactly what you need.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Plan generation** - Based on the interview, Prometheus generates a detailed work plan with tasks, acceptance criteria, and guardrails. Optionally reviewed by Momus (plan reviewer) for high-accuracy validation.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Run `/start-work`** - The Atlas takes over:
|
||||
- Distributes tasks to specialized sub-agents
|
||||
- Verifies each task completion independently
|
||||
- Accumulates learnings across tasks
|
||||
- Tracks progress across sessions (resume anytime)
|
||||
|
||||
**When to use Prometheus:**
|
||||
- Multi-day or multi-session projects
|
||||
- Critical production changes
|
||||
- Complex refactoring spanning many files
|
||||
- When you want a documented decision trail
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Critical Usage Guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
### Always Use Prometheus + Orchestrator Together
|
||||
|
||||
**Do NOT use `atlas` without `/start-work`.**
|
||||
|
||||
The orchestrator is designed to execute work plans created by Prometheus. Using it directly without a plan leads to unpredictable behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct workflow:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. Press Tab → Enter Prometheus mode
|
||||
2. Describe work → Prometheus interviews you
|
||||
3. Confirm plan → Review .sisyphus/plans/*.md
|
||||
4. Run /start-work → Orchestrator executes
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Prometheus and Atlas are a pair. Always use them together.**
|
||||
Use Prometheus for multi-day projects, critical production changes, complex refactoring, or when you want a documented decision trail.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Model Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Oh My OpenCode automatically configures models based on your available providers. You don't need to manually specify every model.
|
||||
Models are auto-configured at install time. The interactive installer asks which providers you have, then generates optimal model assignments for each agent and category.
|
||||
|
||||
### How Models Are Determined
|
||||
At runtime, fallback chains ensure work continues even if your preferred provider is down. Each agent has a provider priority chain. The system tries providers in order until it finds an available model.
|
||||
|
||||
**1. At Installation Time (Interactive Installer)**
|
||||
You can override specific agents or categories in your config, but you don't have to. The defaults work. The fallbacks work. Everything just works.
|
||||
|
||||
When you run `bunx oh-my-opencode install`, the installer asks which providers you have:
|
||||
- Claude Pro/Max subscription?
|
||||
- OpenAI/ChatGPT Plus?
|
||||
- Google Gemini?
|
||||
- GitHub Copilot?
|
||||
- OpenCode Zen?
|
||||
- Z.ai Coding Plan?
|
||||
|
||||
Based on your answers, it generates `~/.config/opencode/oh-my-opencode.json` with optimal model assignments for each agent and category.
|
||||
|
||||
**2. At Runtime (Fallback Chain)**
|
||||
|
||||
Each agent has a **provider priority chain**. The system tries providers in order until it finds an available model:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Example: multimodal-looker
|
||||
google → openai → zai-coding-plan → anthropic → opencode
|
||||
↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
|
||||
gemini gpt-5.2 glm-4.6v haiku gpt-5-nano
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you have Gemini, it uses `google/gemini-3-flash`. No Gemini but have Claude? Uses `anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5`. And so on.
|
||||
|
||||
### Example Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
Here's a real-world config for a user with **Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, and Z.ai** all available:
|
||||
|
||||
```jsonc
|
||||
{
|
||||
"$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/code-yeongyu/oh-my-opencode/master/assets/oh-my-opencode.schema.json",
|
||||
"agents": {
|
||||
// Override specific agents only - rest use fallback chain
|
||||
"atlas": { "model": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6", "variant": "max" },
|
||||
"librarian": { "model": "zai-coding-plan/glm-4.7" },
|
||||
"explore": { "model": "opencode/gpt-5-nano" },
|
||||
"multimodal-looker": { "model": "zai-coding-plan/glm-4.6v" }
|
||||
},
|
||||
"categories": {
|
||||
// Override categories for cost optimization
|
||||
"quick": { "model": "opencode/gpt-5-nano" },
|
||||
"unspecified-low": { "model": "zai-coding-plan/glm-4.7" }
|
||||
},
|
||||
"experimental": {
|
||||
"aggressive_truncation": true
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Key points:**
|
||||
- You only need to override what you want to change
|
||||
- Unspecified agents/categories use the automatic fallback chain
|
||||
- Mix providers freely (Claude for main work, Z.ai for cheap tasks, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
### Finding Available Models
|
||||
|
||||
Run `opencode models` to see all available models in your environment. Model names follow the format `provider/model-name`.

||||

# Understanding the Orchestration System
|
||||
|
||||
Oh My OpenCode's orchestration system transforms a simple AI agent into a coordinated development team. This document explains how the Prometheus → Atlas → Junior workflow creates high-quality, reliable code output.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## The Core Philosophy
|
||||
|
||||
Traditional AI coding tools follow a simple pattern: user asks → AI responds. This works for small tasks but fails for complex work because:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Context overload**: Large tasks exceed context windows
|
||||
2. **Cognitive drift**: AI loses track of requirements mid-task
|
||||
3. **Verification gaps**: No systematic way to ensure completeness
|
||||
4. **Human = Bottleneck**: Requires constant user intervention
|
||||
|
||||
The orchestration system solves these problems through **specialization and delegation**.

## Layer 1: Planning (Prometheus + Metis + Momus)
|
||||
|
||||
### Prometheus: Your Strategic Consultant
|
||||
|
||||
Prometheus is **not just a planner** - it's an intelligent interviewer that helps you think through what you actually need.
|
||||
|
||||
**The Interview Process:**
|
||||
|
||||
```mermaid
|
||||
stateDiagram-v2
|
||||
[*] --> Interview: User describes work
|
||||
Interview --> Research: Launch explore/librarian agents
|
||||
Research --> Interview: Gather codebase context
|
||||
Interview --> ClearanceCheck: After each response
|
||||
|
||||
ClearanceCheck --> Interview: Requirements unclear
|
||||
ClearanceCheck --> PlanGeneration: All requirements clear
|
||||
|
||||
state ClearanceCheck {
|
||||
[*] --> Check
|
||||
Check: ✓ Core objective defined?
|
||||
Check: ✓ Scope boundaries established?
|
||||
Check: ✓ No critical ambiguities?
|
||||
Check: ✓ Technical approach decided?
|
||||
Check: ✓ Test strategy confirmed?
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
PlanGeneration --> MetisConsult: Mandatory gap analysis
|
||||
MetisConsult --> WritePlan: Incorporate findings
|
||||
WritePlan --> HighAccuracyChoice: Present to user
|
||||
|
||||
HighAccuracyChoice --> MomusLoop: User wants high accuracy
|
||||
HighAccuracyChoice --> Done: User accepts plan
|
||||
|
||||
MomusLoop --> WritePlan: REJECTED - fix issues
|
||||
MomusLoop --> Done: OKAY - plan approved
|
||||
|
||||
Done --> [*]: Guide to /start-work
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Intent-Specific Strategies:**
|
||||
|
||||
Prometheus adapts its interview style based on what you're doing:
|
||||
|
||||
| Intent | Prometheus Focus | Example Questions |
|
||||
|--------|------------------|-------------------|
|
||||
| **Refactoring** | Safety - behavior preservation | "What tests verify current behavior?" "Rollback strategy?" |
|
||||
| **Build from Scratch** | Discovery - patterns first | "Found pattern X in codebase. Follow it or deviate?" |
|
||||
| **Mid-sized Task** | Guardrails - exact boundaries | "What must NOT be included? Hard constraints?" |
|
||||
| **Architecture** | Strategic - long-term impact | "Expected lifespan? Scale requirements?" |
|
||||
|
||||
### Metis: The Gap Analyzer
|
||||
|
||||
Before Prometheus writes the plan, **Metis catches what Prometheus missed**:
|
||||
|
||||
- Hidden intentions in user's request
|
||||
- Ambiguities that could derail implementation
|
||||
- AI-slop patterns (over-engineering, scope creep)
|
||||
- Missing acceptance criteria
|
||||
- Edge cases not addressed
|
||||
|
||||
**Why Metis Exists:**
|
||||
|
||||
The plan author (Prometheus) has "ADHD working memory" - it makes connections that never make it onto the page. Metis forces externalization of implicit knowledge.
|
||||
|
||||
### Momus: The Ruthless Reviewer
|
||||
|
||||
For high-accuracy mode, Momus validates plans against **four core criteria**:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Clarity**: Does each task specify WHERE to find implementation details?
|
||||
2. **Verification**: Are acceptance criteria concrete and measurable?
|
||||
3. **Context**: Is there sufficient context to proceed without >10% guesswork?
|
||||
4. **Big Picture**: Is the purpose, background, and workflow clear?
|
||||
|
||||
**The Momus Loop:**
|
||||
|
||||
Momus only says "OKAY" when:
|
||||
- 100% of file references verified
|
||||
- ≥80% of tasks have clear reference sources
|
||||
- ≥90% of tasks have concrete acceptance criteria
|
||||
- Zero tasks require assumptions about business logic
|
||||
- Zero critical red flags
|
||||
|
||||
If REJECTED, Prometheus fixes issues and resubmits. **No maximum retry limit.**
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Layer 2: Execution (Atlas)
|
||||
|
||||
### The Conductor Mindset
|
||||
|
||||
The Orchestrator is like an orchestra conductor: **it doesn't play instruments, it ensures perfect harmony**.
|
||||
|
||||
```mermaid
|
||||
flowchart LR
|
||||
subgraph Orchestrator["Atlas"]

||||
Delegate -->|"background=false"| Workers["Workers"]
|
||||
Workers -->|"Results + Learnings"| Verify
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**What Orchestrator CAN do:**
|
||||
- ✅ Read files to understand context
|
||||
- ✅ Run commands to verify results
|
||||
- ✅ Use lsp_diagnostics to check for errors
|
||||
- ✅ Search patterns with grep/glob/ast-grep
|
||||
|
||||
**What Orchestrator MUST delegate:**
|
||||
- ❌ Writing/editing code files
|
||||
- ❌ Fixing bugs
|
||||
- ❌ Creating tests
|
||||
- ❌ Git commits
|
||||
|
||||
### Wisdom Accumulation
|
||||
|
||||
The power of orchestration is **cumulative learning**. After each task:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Extract learnings from subagent's response
|
||||
2. Categorize into: Conventions, Successes, Failures, Gotchas, Commands
|
||||
3. Pass forward to ALL subsequent subagents
|
||||
|
||||
This prevents repeating mistakes and ensures consistent patterns.
|
||||
|
||||
**Notepad System:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
.sisyphus/notepads/{plan-name}/
|
||||
├── learnings.md # Patterns, conventions, successful approaches
|
||||
├── decisions.md # Architectural choices and rationales
|
||||
├── issues.md # Problems, blockers, gotchas encountered
|
||||
├── verification.md # Test results, validation outcomes
|
||||
└── problems.md # Unresolved issues, technical debt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Parallel Execution
|
||||
|
||||
Independent tasks run in parallel:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Orchestrator identifies parallelizable groups from plan
|
||||
// Group A: Tasks 2, 3, 4 (no file conflicts)
|
||||
task(category="ultrabrain", prompt="Task 2...")
|
||||
task(category="visual-engineering", prompt="Task 3...")
|
||||
task(category="general", prompt="Task 4...")
|
||||
// All run simultaneously
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Layer 3: Workers (Specialized Agents)
|
||||
|
||||
### Sisyphus-Junior: The Task Executor
|
||||
|
||||
Junior is the **workhorse** that actually writes code. Key characteristics:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Focused**: Cannot delegate (blocked from task tool)
|
||||
- **Disciplined**: Obsessive todo tracking
|
||||
- **Verified**: Must pass lsp_diagnostics before completion
|
||||
- **Constrained**: Cannot modify plan files (READ-ONLY)
|
||||
|
||||
**Why Sonnet is Sufficient:**
|
||||
|
||||
Junior doesn't need to be the smartest - it needs to be reliable. With:
|
||||
1. Detailed prompts from Orchestrator (50-200 lines)
|
||||
2. Accumulated wisdom passed forward
|
||||
3. Clear MUST DO / MUST NOT DO constraints
|
||||
4. Verification requirements
|
||||
|
||||
Even a mid-tier model executes precisely. The intelligence is in the **system**, not individual agents.
|
||||
|
||||
### System Reminder Mechanism
|
||||
|
||||
The hook system ensures Junior never stops halfway:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[SYSTEM REMINDER - TODO CONTINUATION]
|
||||
|
||||
You have incomplete todos! Complete ALL before responding:
|
||||
- [ ] Implement user service ← IN PROGRESS
|
||||
- [ ] Add validation
|
||||
- [ ] Write tests
|
||||
|
||||
DO NOT respond until all todos are marked completed.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This "boulder pushing" mechanism is why the system is named after Sisyphus.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## The task Tool: Category + Skill System
|
||||
|
||||
### Why Categories are Revolutionary
|
||||
|
||||
**The Problem with Model Names:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// OLD: Model name creates distributional bias
|
||||
task(agent="gpt-5.2", prompt="...") // Model knows its limitations
|
||||
task(agent="claude-opus-4.6", prompt="...") // Different self-perception
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**The Solution: Semantic Categories:**
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// NEW: Category describes INTENT, not implementation
|
||||
task(category="ultrabrain", prompt="...") // "Think strategically"
|
||||
task(category="visual-engineering", prompt="...") // "Design beautifully"
|
||||
task(category="quick", prompt="...") // "Just get it done fast"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Built-in Categories
|
||||
|
||||
| Category | Model | When to Use |
|
||||
|----------|-------|-------------|
|
||||
| `visual-engineering` | Gemini 3 Pro | Frontend, UI/UX, design, styling, animation |
|
||||
| `ultrabrain` | GPT-5.3 Codex (xhigh) | Deep logical reasoning, complex architecture decisions |
|
||||
| `artistry` | Gemini 3 Pro (max) | Highly creative/artistic tasks, novel ideas |
|
||||
| `quick` | Claude Haiku 4.5 | Trivial tasks - single file changes, typo fixes |
|
||||
| `deep` | GPT-5.3 Codex (medium) | Goal-oriented autonomous problem-solving, thorough research |
|
||||
| `unspecified-low` | Claude Sonnet 4.6 | Tasks that don't fit other categories, low effort |
|
||||
| `unspecified-high` | Claude Opus 4.6 (max) | Tasks that don't fit other categories, high effort |
|
||||
| `writing` | K2P5 (Kimi) | Documentation, prose, technical writing |
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom Categories
|
||||
|
||||
You can define your own categories:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
// .opencode/oh-my-opencode.json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"categories": {
|
||||
"unity-game-dev": {
|
||||
"model": "openai/gpt-5.2",
|
||||
"temperature": 0.3,
|
||||
"prompt_append": "You are a Unity game development expert..."
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Skills: Domain-Specific Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
Skills prepend specialized instructions to subagent prompts:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Category + Skill combination
|
||||
task(
|
||||
category="visual-engineering",
|
||||
load_skills=["frontend-ui-ux"], // Adds UI/UX expertise
|
||||
prompt="..."
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
task(
|
||||
category="general",
|
||||
load_skills=["playwright"], // Adds browser automation expertise
|
||||
prompt="..."
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Example Evolution:**
|
||||
|
||||
| Before | After |
|
||||
|--------|-------|
|
||||
| Hardcoded: `frontend-ui-ux-engineer` (Gemini 3 Pro) | `category="visual-engineering" + load_skills=["frontend-ui-ux"]` |
|
||||
| One-size-fits-all | `category="visual-engineering" + load_skills=["unity-master"]` |
|
||||
| Model bias | Category-based: model abstraction eliminates bias |

## Why This Architecture Works
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Separation of Concerns
|
||||
|
||||
- **Planning** (Prometheus): High reasoning, interview, strategic thinking
|
||||
- **Orchestration** (Atlas): Coordination, verification, wisdom accumulation
|
||||
- **Execution** (Junior): Focused implementation, no distractions
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Explicit Over Implicit
|
||||
|
||||
Every Junior prompt includes:
|
||||
- Exact task from plan
|
||||
- Clear success criteria
|
||||
- Forbidden actions
|
||||
- All accumulated wisdom
|
||||
- Reference files with line numbers
|
||||
|
||||
No assumptions. No guessing.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Trust But Verify
|
||||
|
||||
The Orchestrator **never trusts subagent claims**:
|
||||
- Runs `lsp_diagnostics` at project level
|
||||
- Executes full test suite
|
||||
- Reads actual file changes
|
||||
- Cross-references requirements
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Model Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
Expensive models (Opus, GPT-5.2) used only where needed:
|
||||
- Planning decisions (once per project)
|
||||
- Debugging consultation (rare)
|
||||
- Complex architecture (rare)
|
||||
|
||||
Bulk work goes to cost-effective models (Sonnet, Haiku, Flash).

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Getting Started
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Enter Prometheus Mode**: Press **Tab** at the prompt
|
||||
2. **Describe Your Work**: "I want to add user authentication to my app"
|
||||
3. **Answer Interview Questions**: Prometheus will ask about patterns, preferences, constraints
|
||||
4. **Review the Plan**: Check `.sisyphus/plans/` for generated work plan
|
||||
5. **Run `/start-work`**: Orchestrator takes over
|
||||
6. **Observe**: Watch tasks complete with verification
|
||||
7. **Done**: All todos complete, code verified, ready to ship
