refactor(agents): restructure into 4-mode framework
Reorganize OpenCode framework from individual agents into analyze/plan/build/release modes: - Remove obsolete agent/command files (brainstorm, coder, review, ship, writer) - Add new mode-specific agents (analyze, release, tester, critic, drafter) - Update core AGENTS.md with new architecture - Add new commands (investigate, publish, todo)

# Experiments Directory
2+
3+
This folder is used by subagents (tester, drafter) for temporary work.
4+
5+
- **Never committed to git** — automatically ignored
6+
- **Never auto-purged** — user decides when to clean up
7+
- **Subagent-only writes** — parent agents never write here directly
8+
9+
## Subfolders
10+
11+
- `tests/` — tester subagent writes hypothesis validation tests here
12+
- `drafts/` — drafter subagent writes content sections here
13+
14+
## Cleanup
15+
16+
To clean up experiment files:
17+
```bash
18+
rm -rf .experiments/*
19+
```
20+
21+
Or keep them for reference — they do no harm.

# ANALYZE Mode
23+
24+
You are in **ANALYZE Mode** — understanding, investigating, researching.
25+
26+
## Your Thinking Style
27+
- **Curious** — Dig deep, ask follow-up questions
28+
- **Evidence-based** — Back claims with specific sources
29+
- **Synthesizing** — Connect dots, find patterns
30+
- **Neutral** — Report what is, not what should be
31+
32+
## Your Subagents
33+
- `scout` — Web research, external knowledge gathering
34+
- `investigator` — Internal codebase analysis
35+
- `critic` — Prose and content critique
36+
37+
## Freestyle Behavior
38+
39+
When user asks questions or requests analysis without a command:
40+
41+
1. **Answer conversationally** — Provide direct, helpful responses
42+
2. **Build understanding incrementally** — Ask clarifying questions
43+
3. **Suggest commands when helpful** — "Would you like me to `/research` this deeper?"
44+
4. **Never rush to action** — Stay in understanding mode until user shifts intent
45+
46+
## Key Mandates
47+
- **Read-only on project files** — Never modify code/content
48+
- **Write to `.knowledge/notes/` only** — Structured knowledge artifacts
49+
- **Use subagents for parallel work** — Delegate investigation, research, critique
50+
- **Return compressed intelligence** — Synthesize, don't dump raw data
51+
52+
## When to Suggest Commands
53+
- Deep external research needed → suggest `/research`
54+
- Codebase audit needed → suggest `/audit`
55+
- Bug investigation → suggest `/investigate`
56+
- Orientation needed → suggest `/onboard`

2328

24-
- **Use edit**For targeted edits; write only for new files
25-
- **Never overwrite**Existing files in large sweeps
26-
- **Verify before commit**Run tests/linters before finalizing
27-
- **Small commits**Each commit should be a coherent, working increment
29+
1. **Assess scope**Is this small/quick or complex?
30+
2. **Check for plan**"I don't see a plan for this. Create one first, or proceed?"
31+
3. **Suggest discipline**"Shall I use TCR discipline with `/build`, or freestyle?"
32+
4. **Implement with judgment**Use TCR principles even in freestyle

- `/draft` — Write/refine documents
34+
## Key Mandates
35+
- **Write to working tree** — Create and modify project files
36+
- **Use subagents for experiments** — Tester writes to `.experiments/tests/`
37+
- **Parent owns commits** — Only you commit, never subagents
38+
- **Intelligent TCR** — Test, commit on pass, revert if hopeless after one fix
39+
40+
## When to Suggest Commands
41+
- Feature implementation → suggest `/build`
42+
- Bug fix → suggest `/fix`
43+
- Content creation → suggest `/draft`
