# AGENTS.md — OpenCode Tool Usage Guide
This file tells AI coding agents which tools are available and when to use them.
It is read by agents working on the Memex / Passepartout project.
## Development Workflow (Must Follow)
All development MUST follow this cycle, beginning to end:
1. **Start in REPL** — Everything begins and ends in the Passepartout REPL (port 9105)
2. **TDD in REPL**:
1. Write a test (use `passepartout: deftest` or equivalent)
2. Run the test → it should FAIL
3. Develop code in REPL to make the test pass
4. Use lisp-structural-check to validate code while developing
5. Evaluate forms with `eval-defun` or equivalent
6. Run tests again → they should PASS
7. Repeat until feature is complete
3. **Reflect in Org** — Once code works in REPL, reflect it in the .org literate source file
4. **Tangle with Emacs** — Use `org-babel-tangle` to generate .lisp from .org
5. **Validate tangled lisp** — Run `lisp-structural-check` on the result
6. **Commit** — Only after validation passes
**When tools fail**:
- If any recommended tool fails, you MUST explain:
- Why it failed (specific error, missing dependency, etc.)
- How we can make it work (fix, configuration, alternative approach)
- Then **PAUSE** and ask for permission before trying a different method
**Rule**: Do not leave the REPL to develop. If something can't be done in REPL, explain why and ask before proceeding otherwise.

## Available Tools — Use These First
### 1. Passepartout REPL (port 9105)
The daemon runs with ALL skills loaded. Use it instead of the deploy-crash-cycle.
**Send forms via Python bridge:**
```python
import socket
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect(("127.0.0.1", 9105))
msg = '(:type :event :payload (:sensor :repl-eval :code "(+ 1 2)"))'
s.sendall(f"{len(msg):06x}".encode() + msg.encode())
```
**Or via SBCL directly (attached to daemon):**
```lisp
(sb-bsd-sockets:socket-send sock payload len)
```
**Key functions available:**
- `(passepartout:lisp-structural-check "code-string")` — returns (values t nil) or (values nil "error")
- `(passepartout:lisp-validate "code-string" :semantic t)` — full validation
- `(passepartout:log-message "format ~a" arg)` — write to daemon log
- Any exported symbol from `passepartout` package
### 2. Lisp Structural Tools (pre-deploy validation)
**ALWAYS run these before tangling/deploying Lisp changes.**
`lisp-structural-check` works on ANY Lisp string, not just Org blocks:
```lisp
;; Via REPL — send to port 9105:
(passepartout:lisp-structural-check "<lisp-code-string>")
;; Returns: (values t nil) on success, (values nil "error details") on failure
```
For Org files:
```lisp
(passepartout:literate-block-balance-check "/path/to/file.org")
```
These catch paren mismatches in <1 second vs. the 60-second deploy-crash cycle.
### 3. Emacs Interactive
Use Emacs for interactive Lisp development:
- `forward-sexp` / `backward-sexp` — navigate balanced expressions
- `show-paren-mode` — visual paren matching
- `eval-defun` (C-M-x) — evaluate the current top-level form
- `eval-region` — evaluate selected region
- `org-babel-tangle` — tangle a single file: `M-x org-babel-tangle`
- Batch tangle: `emacs --batch --eval "(progn (require 'org) (find-file \"file.org\") (org-babel-tangle) (kill-buffer))"`
### 4. Tmux (for TUI testing)
```bash
# Start TUI in detached session
tmux new-session -d -s test "passepartout tui 2>&1 | tee /tmp/tui.log"
# Send keys
tmux send-keys -t test "hello world" Enter
# Capture output
tmux capture-pane -t test -p -S -200
# Clean up
tmux kill-session -t test
```
### 5. Pre-Commit Hook
Validates staged org files by tangling + compiling in daemon:
```
ln -sf ../../scripts/pre-commit-repl-check .git/hooks/pre-commit
```
Run manually: `passepartout setup` or `git commit` (hook auto-runs).
### 6. TUI REPL (via /eval + Swank)
The TUI process has its own REPL for live development:
**Built-in /eval command** — type in the TUI input:
- `/eval (+ 1 2)``=> 3` displayed in chat
- `/eval *state*` → inspect full TUI state plist
- `/eval (view-status sw)` → force status bar re-render
- `/eval (add-msg :system "test")` → inject a test message
**Emacs + Swank REPL** — connect Emacs to the TUI process:
1. Start TUI: `passepartout tui`
2. In Emacs: `M-x slime-connect RET 127.0.0.1 RET 4006`
3. `C-M-x` any form from `org/gateway-tui.org` → evaluates in live TUI process
4. Configure port: `export TUI_SWANK_PORT=4009` (default: 4006)
**Croatoan note**: Rendering functions (`view-status`, `view-chat`, `view-input`) write to the terminal and can't be fully tested from Emacs. Inspect return values instead, and test rendering with `/eval` commands in the TUI itself.

## Commands
- Validate code: Send to REPL at port 9105 using socket bridge (see Development Workflow)
- Run tests: `(passepartout:run-tests)` in REPL
- Tangle org: `emacs --batch --eval "(progn (require 'org) (find-file \"file.org\") (org-babel-tangle) (kill-buffer))"`
## Project Structure
- Source (literate): `org/`
- Source (tangled): `lisp/`
- Tests: `tests/`
- Scripts: `scripts/`
- Deployment: `~/.local/share/passepartout/`
- TODO tracking: `docs/ROADMAP.org`
## When Done Means
- Tests pass: `(passepartout:run-tests)` returns success
- Code validated: `lisp-structural-check` returns `(values t nil)`
- Org reflected: Code exists in .org source file
- Org tangled: .lisp generated from .org
- Committed: Only after all above pass
## Boundaries
- **Always do**: Use REPL first for all development, use TDD, validate with lisp-structural-check
- **Ask first**: Before editing .lisp directly (skip org), before deploying, before git commit
- **Never do**: Edit .lisp files manually (they're autogenerated), skip validation before commit
## Iteration
When the agent makes the same mistake twice, add a rule to this file to prevent recurrence.

## Project Architecture
- **Thin harness, fat skills** — core provides hooks (`defskill`, `register-actuator`, `*probabilistic-backends*`), skills provide handlers
- **Org is source of truth** — `.org` files tangle to `.lisp`. Never edit `.lisp` directly
- **Package:** `passepartout` exports all symbols in `lisp/core-defpackage.lisp`
- **XDG data dir:** `~/.local/share/passepartout/` (deployed lisp/org files)
- **Config:** `~/.config/passepartout/.env`
