The 46-entry mcp.manual-slop.tools block added in commit 30281843 was invalid per the v1.16.2 schema (McpLocalConfig has additionalProperties: false) and was being silently dropped. Also adds proper MCP server configuration and subagent permission grants.
Changes:
opencode.json:
- Remove the silently-dropped mcp.manual-slop.tools block (46 entries)
- Add timeout: 30000 (default 5000 is fragile)
- Add environment block with PYTHONPATH, GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT, GCM_INTERACTIVE, GIT_ASKPASS, HOME so mcp_env.toml values are injected into the MCP server process
- Top-level 'tools' block intentionally omitted: schema only accepts boolean values (enable/disable), not description objects. Tool descriptions come from the MCP server's list_tools response (mcp_client.MCP_TOOL_SPECS).
.opencode/agents/{tier1-orchestrator,tier2-tech-lead,tier3-worker,tier4-qa,explore}.md:
- Add 'manual-slop_*': allow to each agent's permission block so subagents can use the 46 MCP tools (previously defaulted to deny in some permission schemas)
general.md: no change (no permission block, defaults to allow all)
Verified:
- opencode.json is now schema-valid (no more 'Expected boolean' errors)
- Both MCP servers connected: MiniMax (2 tools), manual-slop (46 tools)
- manual-slop MCP server startup: ~651ms (well under 30s timeout)
- All MCP tests pass: test_mcp_config.py + test_mcp_perf_tool.py = 4/4
- Subagent permission blocks confirmed in 'opencode debug config' output

Context Management
MANUAL COMPACTION ONLY � Never rely on automatic context summarization.
Use /compact command explicitly when context needs reduction.
Preserve full context during track planning and spec creation.
CRITICAL: MCP Tools Only (Native Tools Banned)
You MUST use Manual Slop's MCP tools. Native OpenCode tools are unreliable.

Session Start Checklist (MANDATORY)
Before ANY other action:
- Read
conductor/workflow.md - Read
conductor/tech-stack.md - Read
conductor/product.md,conductor/product-guidelines.md - Read relevant
docs/guide_*.mdfor current task domain - Check
conductor/tracks.mdfor active tracks - Announce: "Context loaded, proceeding to [task]"
BLOCK PROGRESS until all checklist items are confirmed.
Track Initialization Protocol
When starting a new track:
-
Read track context:
conductor/tracks.md- active tracksconductor/tech-stack.md- technology constraintsconductor/product.md- product vision
-
Audit existing state:
- Use
manual-slop_py_get_code_outlineto map files - Use
manual-slop_get_git_diffto check recent changes - Document "Current State Audit" in spec
- Use
-
Create track spec:
- Follow spec template with: Overview, Current State Audit, Goals, Requirements
- Include Architecture Reference section
-
Initialize track directory:
- Create
conductor/tracks/{name}_{YYYYMMDD}/ - Write spec.md, plan.md, metadata.json
- Create
Primary Context Documents
Read at session start:
- All immediate files in ./conductor, a listing of all directories within ./conductor/tracks, ./conductor/archive.
- All docs in ./docs
- AST Skeleton summaries of: ./src, ./simulation, ./tests, ./scripts python files.
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 mechanismdocs/guide_tools.md: MCP Bridge security, 26-tool inventory, Hook API endpointsdocs/guide_mma.md: Ticket/Track data structures, DAG engine, ConductorEnginedocs/guide_simulations.md: live_gui fixture, Puppeteer pattern, mock providerdocs/guide_meta_boundary.md: Clarification of ai agent tools making the application vs the application itself.
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 (MANDATORY)
1. MANDATORY: Audit Before Specifying
NEVER write a spec without first reading actual code using MCP tools.
Use manual-slop_py_get_code_outline, manual-slop_py_get_definition,
manual-slop_py_find_usages, and manual-slop_get_git_diff to build a map.
Document existing implementations with file:line references in a
"Current State Audit" section in the spec.
FAILURE TO AUDIT = TRACK FAILURE � Previous tracks failed because specs asked to implement features that already existed.
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 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:
- WHERE: Exact file and line range (
gui_2.py:2700-2701) - WHAT: The specific change
- HOW: Which API calls or patterns
- SAFETY: Thread-safety constraints
4. For Bug Fix Tracks: Root Cause Analysis
Read the code, trace the data flow, list specific root cause candidates.
5. Reference Architecture Docs
Link to relevant docs/guide_*.md sections in every 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: Do NOT write code or edit files (except track spec/plan/metadata)
- Do NOT execute tracks or implement features
- Keep context strictly focused on product definitions and strategy
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
- Do NOT use native
edittool - use MCP tools - DO NOT SKIP A TEST IN PYTEST JUST BECAUSE ITS BROKEN AND HAS NO TRIVIAL SOLUTION OR FIX.
- DO NOT SIMPLIFY A TEST JUST BECAUSE IT HAS NO TRIVIAL SOLUTION TO FIX.
- DO NOT CREATE MOCK PATCHES TO PSEUDO API CALLS OR HOOKS BECAUSE THE APP SOURCE WAS CHANGED. ADAPT TESTS PROPERLY.
