Hugo Nijhuis cdfacbac18 Migrate from Claude Code to OpenCode structure
- Move legacy content to legacy/ folder (old, old2, docs, learnings, scripts)
- Create new .opencode/ structure with skills/, tools/, agents/ folders
- Update Makefile to symlink to ~/.config/opencode/ instead of ~/.claude/
- Update Makefile to manage skills, tools, and agents (remove settings.json)
- Simplify install/uninstall (no backup logic)
- Add README.md documenting the new structure
- Keep settings.json as historical reference

Learnings

This folder captures learnings from retrospectives and day-to-day work. Learnings serve three purposes:

  1. Historical record: What we learned and when
  2. Governance reference: Why we work the way we do
  3. Encoding source: Input that gets encoded into skills and agents

The Learning Flow

Experience → Learning captured → Encoded into system → Knowledge is actionable
                   ↓
            Stays here for:
            - Historical reference
            - Governance validation
            - Periodic review

Learnings are not the final destination. They are inputs that get encoded into skills and agents where Claude can actually use them. But we keep the learning file as a record of why we encoded what we did.

Writing a Learning

Create a new file: YYYY-MM-DD-short-title.md

Use this template:

# [Title]

**Date**: YYYY-MM-DD
**Context**: What triggered this learning (task, incident, observation)

## Learning

The insight we gained. Be specific and actionable.

## Encoded In

Where this learning has been (or will be) encoded:

- `skills/xxx/SKILL.md` - What was added/changed
- `agents/xxx/AGENT.md` - What was added/changed

If not yet encoded, note: "Pending: Issue #XX"

## Governance

What this learning means for how we work going forward. This is the "why" that justifies the encoding.

Encoding Process

  1. Capture the learning in this folder
  2. Create an issue to encode it into the appropriate location
  3. Update the skill/agent with the encoded knowledge
  4. Update the learning file with the "Encoded In" references

The goal: Claude should be able to use the learning, not just read about it.

What Gets Encoded Where

Learning Type Encode In
How to use a tool skills/ (background skill)
Workflow improvement skills/ (user-invocable skill)
Subtask behavior agents/
Organization belief manifesto.md
Product direction vision.md (in product repo)

Periodic Review

Periodically review learnings to:

  • Verify encoded locations still reflect the learning
  • Check if governance is still being followed
  • Identify patterns across multiple learnings
  • Archive or update outdated learnings

Naming Convention

Files follow the pattern: YYYY-MM-DD-short-kebab-title.md

Examples:

  • 2024-01-15-always-use-comments-flag.md
  • 2024-01-20-verify-before-cleanup.md
  • 2024-02-01-small-prs-merge-faster.md
