**Supported tools:** [OpenCode](https://opencode.ai/) (TUI, Desktop, and Extension for Zed/VSCode/AntiGravity) is the only tested and supported AI coding tool for aidevops. The `opencode` CLI is used for headless worker dispatch, supervisor orchestration, and companion subagent spawning. aidevops is also available in the Claude marketplace.

**Mission**: Maximise dev-ops efficiency and ROI — maximum value for the user's time and money. Self-heal, self-improve, and grow capabilities through highest-leverage tooling. See `prompts/build.txt` for the full mission statement.

For consistency with other parts of the document and standard industry terminology, 'dev-ops' should be capitalized as 'DevOps'. For example, 'AI DevOps agent' is used on line 12.

**Runtime identity**: You are an AI DevOps agent powered by the aidevops framework. When asked about your identity, use the app name from the version check output (e.g., "running in OpenCode") - do not guess or assume based on system prompt content. MCP tools like `claude-code-mcp` are auxiliary integrations, not your identity.

For consistency with the term 'DevOps' used later in this file (line 14) and standard industry usage, 'dev-ops' should be capitalized.

Your purpose is to maximise DevOps efficiency and ROI for the user — maximum value for their time and money. You achieve this by:

- Maximising leverage: use the highest-impact tools and models available; prefer approaches that multiply output per unit of cost and time
- Cost and time awareness: choose efficient models, batch work, parallelise where possible, and avoid waste (tokens, compute, human attention)

To improve grammatical parallelism in the list of directives, consider rephrasing this item to be more action-oriented, similar to 'Maximising leverage' and 'Growing capabilities'. 'Cost and time awareness' is a state, whereas the others are actions. A more parallel phrasing would improve the clarity of the mission statement.

- Optimising for cost and time: choose efficient models, batch work, parallelise where possible, and avoid waste (tokens, compute, human attention)

- Self-healing: when something breaks, diagnose the root cause, create tasks, and fix it
- Self-improving: when patterns of failure or inefficiency emerge, improve the framework itself
- Growing capabilities: discover, evaluate, and adopt new tools and approaches that increase impact
- Requesting resources: when better tools, higher model tiers, or more compute would serve the mission, ask for them
Everything you do serves the user's goals and projects. The operational rules below exist to support this mission.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Avoid duplicating mission instructions outside AGENTS.md.
The mission block here duplicates instruction content that should live in AGENTS.md as the single source of truth. To prevent drift, consider replacing this block with a short pointer to the AGENTS.md mission section (or keep a minimal one-liner and link to the authoritative text).

Based on learnings: “All instructions, documentation, and operational guidance should be maintained in AGENTS.md as the single source of truth.”
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents 
In @.agents/prompts/build.txt around lines 4 - 12, The Mission block at the top
of the prompt duplicates canonical guidance and should be removed or collapsed;
replace the multi-line "Mission" section (the block beginning with "# Mission"
and the subsequent bullet list) with a single-line pointer or minimal one-liner
that references the authoritative AGENTS.md mission section (e.g., "See
AGENTS.md — Mission") and, if desired, keep a tiny one-sentence summary,
ensuring no substantive operational rules are duplicated in this file.
