OpenCode Opinionated Workflow Layer

Structured multi-agent workflow for OpenCode. Cheap models route, mid models build, premium models review. File locks, approval gates, persistent design artifacts, and mandatory verification on every task.

Install

Requires OpenCode and Node.js 18+.

npx @jimzandueta/oowl install

The installer defaults to the low profile and walks you through model profile selection, then writes the framework files into your project.

Quick start

Open OpenCode in the project and tell dispatcher what to build:

You: "Add a login page with email/password and Google OAuth."

Dispatcher → Architect writes design.md   [you approve]
           → Planner writes implementation.md → plan-reviewer
           → [you approve the plan]
           → Builder schedules → agents implement with file locks
           → Reviewer writes review.md
           → [optional merge → done]

23 agents across 6 classes: orchestrators, artifact owners, implementers, reviewers, escalation, and bounded workers. Every substantial feature produces a docs/specs/<feature>/ directory with the design, plan, and review owned by their respective agents.

Why oowl

One agent designs, codes, and reviews in a single session. It edits files it shouldn't, makes changes you didn't approve, loses context when you scroll away, and never runs a security check unless you specifically ask. You get output fast, but you don't know what's safe without reading every diff.

oowl decomposes the work:

Without oowl With oowl
One agent touches anything Each task has locked file boundaries
Design vanishes when chat ends Design, plan, review persist in docs/specs/
"Looks done" is the only check Agents run verification before reporting complete
Same model does everything Profiles assign cheap / mid / premium by role
Security if you remember Sensitive areas auto-escalate
Review if you ask Every feature ships with a written review

How it works

your request → dispatcher
  trivial?  → one implementer → done
  substantial?
    → optional Git feature branch
    → architect writes design.md       [you approve]
    → planner writes implementation.md [plan-reviewer validates]
    → [you approve]
    → builder schedules implementation waves
    → agents implement with file locks and verification
    → reviewer writes review.md
    → optional branch merge → done

Artifacts are the durable record of every feature. They live under docs/specs/<feature>/:

docs/specs/login-page/
├── design.md           # architect: approach, tradeoffs, risks
├── ui-spec.md          # designer: layout, interactions (if UI involved)
├── implementation.md   # planner: task breakdown, file locks, verification
└── review.md           # reviewer: what shipped, test results, risks

These are owned by specific agents. Non-owners can read them but cannot edit, delete, or overwrite them.

Tiers map agents to three model cost levels:

Tier Handles Agents
Cheap Routing, scheduling, bounded work dispatcher, builder, low-*
Mid Design, implementation, review architect, planner, specialists
Premium Escalations, deep security high-*, security-auditor

Switch between bundled profiles (low default, balanced, high, free) or build a custom one from your connected models with oowl profile. The free profile uses free OpenCode models; free-data will be used in training, so do not use it for private, proprietary, regulated, customer, or confidential data.

Commands

Command What it does
oowl install Install the framework (interactive walkthrough)
oowl init Configure Optional skills per project
oowl profile Switch model profiles interactively
oowl profile <name> Switch directly: free, low, balanced, high, custom
oowl update Update framework files with conflict detection
oowl --version Print version
