+
+## Primary Context Documents
+Read at session start: `conductor/product.md`, `conductor/product-guidelines.md`
+
+## Architecture Fallback
+When planning tracks that touch core systems, consult the deep-dive docs:
+- `docs/guide_architecture.md`: Thread domains, event system, AI client, HITL mechanism, frame-sync action catalog
+- `docs/guide_tools.md`: MCP Bridge security, 26-tool inventory, Hook API endpoints, ApiHookClient
+- `docs/guide_mma.md`: Ticket/Track data structures, DAG engine, ConductorEngine, worker lifecycle
+- `docs/guide_simulations.md`: live_gui fixture, Puppeteer pattern, mock provider, verification patterns
+
+## Responsibilities
+- Maintain alignment with the product guidelines and definition
+- Define track boundaries and initialize new tracks (`/conductor-new-track`)
+- Set up the project environment (`/conductor-setup`)
+- Delegate track execution to the Tier 2 Tech Lead
+
+## The Surgical Methodology
+
+When creating or refining tracks, follow this protocol:
+
+### 1. MANDATORY: Audit Before Specifying
+NEVER write a spec without first reading the actual code using your tools.
+Use `py_get_code_outline`, `py_get_definition`, `grep`, and `get_git_diff`
+to build a map of what exists. Document existing implementations with file:line
+references in a "Current State Audit" section in the spec.
+
+**WHY**: Previous track specs asked to implement features that already existed
+(Track Browser, DAG tree, approval dialogs) because no code audit was done first.
+This wastes entire implementation phases.
+
+### 2. Identify Gaps, Not Features
+Frame requirements around what's MISSING relative to what exists:
+GOOD: "The existing `_render_mma_dashboard` (gui_2.py:2633-2724) has a token
+usage table but no cost estimation column."
+BAD: "Build a metrics dashboard with token and cost tracking."
+
+### 3. Write Worker-Ready Tasks
+Each plan task must be executable by a Tier 3 worker without understanding
+the overall architecture. Every task specifies:
+- **WHERE**: Exact file and line range (`gui_2.py:2700-2701`)
+- **WHAT**: The specific change (add function, modify dict, extend table)
+- **HOW**: Which API calls or patterns (`imgui.progress_bar(...)`, `imgui.collapsing_header(...)`)
+- **SAFETY**: Thread-safety constraints if cross-thread data is involved
+
+### 4. For Bug Fix Tracks: Root Cause Analysis
+Don't write "investigate and fix." Read the code, trace the data flow, list
+specific root cause candidates with code-level reasoning.
+
+### 5. Reference Architecture Docs
+Link to relevant `docs/guide_*.md` sections in every spec so implementing
+agents have a fallback for threading, data flow, or module interactions.
+
+### 6. Map Dependencies Between Tracks
+State execution order and blockers explicitly in metadata.json and spec.
+
+## Spec Template (REQUIRED sections)
+```
+# Track Specification: {Title}
+
+## Overview
+## Current State Audit (as of {commit_sha})
+### Already Implemented (DO NOT re-implement)
+### Gaps to Fill (This Track's Scope)
+## Goals
+## Functional Requirements
+## Non-Functional Requirements
+## Architecture Reference
+## Out of Scope
+```
+
+## Plan Template (REQUIRED format)
+```
+## Phase N: {Name}
+Focus: {One-sentence scope}
+
+- [ ] Task N.1: {Surgical description with file:line refs and API calls}
+- [ ] Task N.2: ...
+- [ ] Task N.N: Write tests for Phase N changes
+- [ ] Task N.X: Conductor - User Manual Verification (Protocol in workflow.md)
+```
+
+## Limitations
+- Read-only tools only: Read, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch, Bash (read-only ops)
+- Do NOT execute tracks or implement features
+- Do NOT write code or edit files (except track spec/plan/metadata)
+- Do NOT perform low-level bug fixing
+- Keep context strictly focused on product definitions and high-level strategy

+- `docs/guide_tools.md`: MCP Bridge security, 26-tool inventory, Hook API endpoints, ApiHookClient

+- `docs/guide_simulations.md`: live_gui fixture, Puppeteer pattern, mock provider, verification patterns
+
+## Responsibilities
+- Convert track specs into implementation plans with surgical tasks
+- Execute track implementation following TDD (Red -> Green -> Refactor)
+- Delegate code implementation to Tier 3 Workers via Task tool
+- Delegate error analysis to Tier 4 QA via Task tool
+- Maintain persistent memory throughout track execution
+- Verify phase completion and create checkpoint commits
+
+## TDD Protocol (MANDATORY)
+
+### 1. High-Signal Research Phase
+Before implementing:
+- Use `py_get_code_outline`, `py_get_skeleton`, `grep` to map file relations
+- Use `get_git_diff` for recently modified code
+- Audit state: Check `__init__` methods for existing/duplicate state variables
+
+### 2. Red Phase: Write Failing Tests
+- Pre-delegation checkpoint: Stage current progress (`git add .`)
+- Zero-assertion ban: Tests MUST have meaningful assertions
+- Delegate test creation to Tier 3 Worker via Task tool
+- Run tests and confirm they FAIL as expected
+
+### 3. Green Phase: Implement to Pass
+- Pre-delegation checkpoint: Stage current progress
+- Delegate implementation to Tier 3 Worker via Task tool
+- Run tests and confirm they PASS
+
+### 4. Refactor Phase (Optional)
+- With passing tests, refactor for clarity and performance
+- Re-run tests to ensure they still pass
+
+### 5. Commit Protocol (ATOMIC PER-TASK)
+After completing each task:
+1. Stage changes: `git add .`
+2. Commit with clear message: `feat(scope): description`
+3. Get commit hash: `git log -1 --format="%H"`
+4. Attach git note: `git notes add -m "summary" <hash>`
+5. Update plan.md: Mark task `[x]` with commit SHA
+6. Commit plan update
+
+## Delegation via Task Tool
+
+OpenCode uses the Task tool for subagent delegation. Always provide surgical prompts with WHERE/WHAT/HOW/SAFETY structure.
+
+### Tier 3 Worker (Implementation)
+Invoke via Task tool:
+- `subagent_type`: "tier3-worker"
+- `description`: Brief task name
+- `prompt`: Surgical prompt with WHERE/WHAT/HOW/SAFETY structure
+
+Example Task tool invocation for test creation:
+```
+description: "Write tests for cost estimation"
+prompt: |
+  Write tests for: cost_tracker.estimate_cost()
+  
+  WHERE: tests/test_cost_tracker.py (new file)
+  WHAT: Test all model patterns in MODEL_PRICING dict, assert unknown model returns 0
+  HOW: Use pytest, create fixtures for sample token counts
+  SAFETY: No threading concerns
+  
+  Use 1-space indentation for Python code.
+```
+
+Example Task tool invocation for implementation:
+```
+description: "Implement cost column in dashboard"
+prompt: |
+  Implement: Add cost estimation column to token usage table
+  
+  WHERE: gui_2.py:2685-2699 (_render_mma_dashboard)
+  WHAT: Extend table from 3 to 5 columns, add 'Model' and 'Est. Cost'
+  HOW: Use imgui.table_setup_column(), call cost_tracker.estimate_cost(model, input_tokens, output_tokens)
+  SAFETY: Read-only access to cost_tracker, no thread safety concerns
+  
+  Use 1-space indentation for Python code.
+```
+
+### Tier 4 QA (Error Analysis)
+Invoke via Task tool:
+- `subagent_type`: "tier4-qa"
+- `description`: "Analyze test failure"
+- `prompt`: Error output + explicit instruction "DO NOT fix - provide root cause analysis only"
+
+Example:
+```
+description: "Analyze cost estimation test failure"
+prompt: |
+  Analyze this test failure and provide root cause analysis:
+  
+  [paste test output here]
+  
+  DO NOT fix - provide analysis only. Identify the specific line/condition causing failure.
+```
+
+## Phase Completion Protocol
+When all tasks in a phase are complete:
+1. Run `/conductor-verify` to execute automated verification
+2. Present results to user and await confirmation
+3. Create checkpoint commit: `conductor(checkpoint): Phase N complete`
+4. Attach verification report as git note
+5. Update plan.md with checkpoint SHA
+
+## Anti-Patterns (Avoid)
+- Do NOT implement code directly - delegate to Tier 3 Workers
+- Do NOT skip TDD phases
+- Do NOT batch commits - commit per-task
+- Do NOT skip phase verification

+
+Resume or start implementation of the active track following TDD protocol.
+
+## Prerequisites
+- Run `/conductor-setup` first to load context
+- Ensure a track is active (has `[~]` tasks)
+
+## Implementation Protocol
+
+1. **Identify Current Task:**
+   - Read active track's `plan.md`
+   - Find the first `[~]` (in-progress) or `[ ]` (pending) task
+   - If phase has no pending tasks, move to next phase
+
+2. **Research Phase (MANDATORY):**
+   Before implementing, use tools to understand context:
+   - `py_get_code_outline` on target files
+   - `py_get_skeleton` on dependencies
+   - `grep` for related patterns
+   - `get_git_diff` for recent changes
+   - Audit `__init__` methods for existing state
+
+3. **TDD Cycle:**
+
+   ### Red Phase (Write Failing Tests)
+   - Stage current progress: `git add .`
+   - Delegate test creation to @tier3-worker:
+     ```
+     @tier3-worker
+     
+     Write tests for: [task description]
+     
+     WHERE: tests/test_file.py:line-range
+     WHAT: Test [specific functionality]
+     HOW: Use pytest, assert [expected behavior]
+     SAFETY: [thread-safety constraints]
+     
+     Use 1-space indentation.
+     ```
+   - Run tests: `uv run pytest tests/test_file.py -v`
+   - **CONFIRM TESTS FAIL** - this is the Red phase
+
+   ### Green Phase (Implement to Pass)
+   - Stage current progress: `git add .`
+   - Delegate implementation to @tier3-worker:
+     ```
+     @tier3-worker
+     
+     Implement: [task description]
+     
+     WHERE: src/file.py:line-range
+     WHAT: [specific change]
+     HOW: [API calls, patterns to use]
+     SAFETY: [thread-safety constraints]
+     
+     Use 1-space indentation.
+     ```
+   - Run tests: `uv run pytest tests/test_file.py -v`
+   - **CONFIRM TESTS PASS** - this is the Green phase
+
+   ### Refactor Phase (Optional)
+   - With passing tests, refactor for clarity
+   - Re-run tests to verify
+
+4. **Commit Protocol (ATOMIC PER-TASK):**
+   ```powershell
+   git add .
+   git commit -m "feat(scope): description"
+   $hash = git log -1 --format="%H"
+   git notes add -m "Task: [summary]" $hash
+   ```
+   - Update `plan.md`: Change `[~]` to `[x]` with commit SHA
+   - Commit plan update: `git add plan.md && git commit -m "conductor(plan): Mark task complete"`
+
+5. **Repeat for Next Task**
+
+## Error Handling
+If tests fail after Green phase:
+- Delegate analysis to @tier4-qa:
+  ```
+  @tier4-qa
+  
+  Analyze this test failure:
+  
+  [test output]
+  
+  DO NOT fix - provide analysis only.
+  ```
+- Maximum 2 fix attempts before escalating to user
+
+## Phase Completion
+When all tasks in a phase are `[x]`:
+- Run `/conductor-verify` for checkpoint

+---
+
+# /conductor-status
+
+Display comprehensive status of the conductor system.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Read Track Index:**
+   - `conductor/tracks.md` — track registry
+   - `conductor/index.md` — navigation hub
+
+2. **Scan All Tracks:**
+   For each track in `conductor/tracks/`:
+   - Read `metadata.json` for status and timestamps
+   - Read `plan.md` for task progress
+   - Count completed vs total tasks
+
+3. **Check TASKS.md:**
+   - List IN_PROGRESS tasks
+   - List BLOCKED tasks
+   - List pending tasks by priority
+
+4. **Recent Activity:**
+   - `git log --oneline -5`
+   - Last 2 entries from `JOURNAL.md`
+
+5. **Report Format:**
+   ```
+   ## Conductor Status
+
+   ### Active Tracks
+   | Track | Status | Progress | Current Task |
+   |-------|--------|----------|--------------|
+   | ... | ... | N/M tasks | ... |
+
+   ### Task Registry (TASKS.md)
+   **In Progress:**
+   - [ ] Task description
+
+   **Blocked:**
+   - [ ] Task description (reason)
+
+   ### Recent Commits
+   - `abc1234` commit message
+
+   ### Recent Journal
+   - YYYY-MM-DD: Entry title
+
+   ### Recommendations
+   - [Next action suggestion]
+   ```

+agent: tier2-tech-lead
+---
+
+# /conductor-verify
+
+Execute phase completion verification and create checkpoint.
+
+## Prerequisites
+- All tasks in the current phase must be marked `[x]`
+- All changes must be committed
+
+## Verification Protocol
+
+1. **Announce Protocol Start:**
+   Inform user that phase verification has begun.
+
+2. **Determine Phase Scope:**
+   - Find previous phase checkpoint SHA in `plan.md`
+   - If no previous checkpoint, scope is all changes since first commit
+
+3. **List Changed Files:**
+   ```powershell
+   git diff --name-only <previous_checkpoint_sha> HEAD
+   ```
+
+4. **Verify Test Coverage:**
+   For each code file changed (exclude `.json`, `.md`, `.yaml`):
+   - Check if corresponding test file exists
+   - If missing, create test file via @tier3-worker
+
+5. **Execute Tests in Batches:**
+   **CRITICAL**: Do NOT run full suite. Run max 4 test files at a time.
+   
+   Announce command before execution:
+   ```
+   I will now run: uv run pytest tests/test_file1.py tests/test_file2.py -v
+   ```
+   
+   If tests fail with large output:
+   - Pipe to log file
+   - Delegate analysis to @tier4-qa
+   - Maximum 2 fix attempts before escalating
+
+6. **Present Results:**
+   ```
+   ## Phase Verification Results
+
+   **Phase:** {phase name}
+   **Files Changed:** {count}
+   **Tests Run:** {count}
+   **Tests Passed:** {count}
+   **Tests Failed:** {count}
+
+   [Detailed results or failure analysis]
+   ```
+
+7. **Await User Confirmation:**
+   **PAUSE** and wait for explicit user approval before proceeding.
+
+8. **Create Checkpoint:**
+   ```powershell
+   git add .
+   git commit --allow-empty -m "conductor(checkpoint): Phase {N} complete"
+   $hash = git log -1 --format="%H"
+   git notes add -m "Verification: [report summary]" $hash
+   ```
+
+9. **Update Plan:**
+   - Add `[checkpoint: {sha}]` to phase heading in `plan.md`
+   - Commit: `git add plan.md && git commit -m "conductor(plan): Mark phase complete"`
+
+10. **Announce Completion:**
+    Inform user that phase is complete with checkpoint created.
+
+## Error Handling
+- If any verification fails: HALT and present logs
+- Do NOT proceed without user confirmation
+- Maximum 2 fix attempts per failure

+# Manual Slop - OpenCode Configuration
+
+## Project Overview
+
+**Manual Slop** is a local GUI application designed as an experimental, "manual" AI coding assistant. It allows users to curate and send context (files, screenshots, and discussion history) to AI APIs (Gemini and Anthropic). The AI can then execute PowerShell scripts within the project directory to modify files, requiring explicit user confirmation before execution.
+
+## Main Technologies
+
+- **Language:** Python 3.11+
+- **Package Management:** `uv`
+- **GUI Framework:** Dear PyGui (`dearpygui`), ImGui Bundle (`imgui-bundle`)
+- **AI SDKs:** `google-genai` (Gemini), `anthropic`
+- **Configuration:** TOML (`tomli-w`)
+
+## Architecture
+
+- **`gui_legacy.py`:** Main entry point and Dear PyGui application logic
+- **`ai_client.py`:** Unified wrapper for Gemini and Anthropic APIs
+- **`aggregate.py`:** Builds `file_items` context
+- **`mcp_client.py`:** Implements MCP-like tools (26 tools)
+- **`shell_runner.py`:** Sandboxed subprocess wrapper for PowerShell
+- **`project_manager.py`:** Per-project TOML configurations
+- **`session_logger.py`:** Timestamped logging (JSON-L)
+
+## Critical Context (Read First)
+
+- **Tech Stack**: Python 3.11+, Dear PyGui / ImGui, FastAPI, Uvicorn
+- **Main File**: `gui_2.py` (primary GUI), `ai_client.py` (multi-provider LLM abstraction)
+- **Core Mechanic**: GUI orchestrator for LLM-driven coding with 4-tier MMA architecture
+- **Key Integration**: Gemini API, Anthropic API, DeepSeek, Gemini CLI (headless), MCP tools
+- **Platform Support**: Windows (PowerShell)
+- **DO NOT**: Read full files >50 lines without using `py_get_skeleton` or `get_file_summary` first
+
+## Environment
+
+- Shell: PowerShell (pwsh) on Windows
+- Do NOT use bash-specific syntax (use PowerShell equivalents)
+- Use `uv run` for all Python execution
+- Path separators: forward slashes work in PowerShell
+
+## Session Startup Checklist
+
+At the start of each session:
+1. **Check TASKS.md** - look for IN_PROGRESS or BLOCKED tracks
+2. **Review recent JOURNAL.md entries** - scan last 2-3 entries for context
+3. **Run `/conductor-setup`** - load full context
+4. **Run `/conductor-status`** - get overview
+
+## Conductor System
+
+The project uses a spec-driven track system in `conductor/`:
+- **Tracks**: `conductor/tracks/{name}_{YYYYMMDD}/` - spec.md, plan.md, metadata.json
+- **Workflow**: `conductor/workflow.md` - full task lifecycle and TDD protocol
+- **Tech Stack**: `conductor/tech-stack.md` - technology constraints
+- **Product**: `conductor/product.md` - product vision and guidelines
+
+## MMA 4-Tier Architecture
+
+```
+Tier 1: Orchestrator   - product alignment, epic -> tracks
+Tier 2: Tech Lead      - track -> tickets (DAG), architectural oversight
+Tier 3: Worker         - stateless TDD implementation per ticket
+Tier 4: QA             - stateless error analysis, no fixes
+```
+
+## Architecture Fallback
+
+When uncertain about threading, event flow, data structures, or module interactions, consult:
+- **docs/guide_architecture.md**: Thread domains, event system, AI client, HITL mechanism
+- **docs/guide_tools.md**: MCP Bridge security, 26-tool inventory, Hook API endpoints
+- **docs/guide_mma.md**: Ticket/Track data structures, DAG engine, ConductorEngine
+- **docs/guide_simulations.md**: live_gui fixture, Puppeteer pattern, verification
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+1. Run `/conductor-setup` to load session context
+2. Pick active track from `TASKS.md` or `/conductor-status`
+3. Run `/conductor-implement` to resume track execution
+4. Follow TDD: Red (failing tests) -> Green (pass) -> Refactor
+5. Delegate implementation to Tier 3 Workers, errors to Tier 4 QA
+6. On phase completion: run `/conductor-verify` for checkpoint
+
+## Anti-Patterns (Avoid These)
+
+- **Don't read full large files** - use `py_get_skeleton`, `get_file_summary`, `py_get_code_outline` first
+- **Don't implement directly as Tier 2** - delegate to Tier 3 Workers
+- **Don't skip TDD** - write failing tests before implementation
+- **Don't modify tech stack silently** - update `conductor/tech-stack.md` BEFORE implementing
+- **Don't skip phase verification** - run `/conductor-verify` when all tasks in a phase are `[x]`
+- **Don't mix track work** - stay focused on one track at a time
+
+## Code Style
+
+- **IMPORTANT**: DO NOT ADD ***ANY*** COMMENTS unless asked
+- Use 1-space indentation for Python code
+- Use type hints where appropriate
+- Internal methods/variables prefixed with underscore
+
+## Quality Gates
+
+Before marking any task complete:
+- [ ] All tests pass
+- [ ] Code coverage meets requirements (>80%)
+- [ ] Code follows project's code style guidelines
+- [ ] All public functions documented (docstrings)
+- [ ] Type safety enforced (type hints)
+- [ ] No linting or static analysis errors
