Open-CC Enhancement Implementation Plan

For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (- [ ]) syntax for tracking.

Goal: Evolve nano-claude-code into a capable AI coding CLI with context management, pluggable tools, sub-agents, memory, skills, and diff view.

Architecture: Layered enhancement on existing 6-file structure. New modules (tool_registry, compaction, memory, subagent, skills) added as flat files alongside existing code. Modules communicate via function params and dataclasses, no globals. Agent.py gains depth/cancel_check params for sub-agent support.

Tech Stack: Python 3.8-3.10, threading/concurrent.futures, difflib, tiktoken (optional), existing deps (anthropic, openai, httpx, rich)

Spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-02-open-cc-design.md

File Structure Overview

New files:

• tool_registry.py — Tool plugin registry (ToolDef dataclass, register/get/execute)
• compaction.py — Context window management (autoCompact + snip)
• memory.py — File-based memory system (MEMORY.md index + per-entry markdown files)
• subagent.py — Sub-agent lifecycle (ThreadPoolExecutor, depth limit, cancel)
• skills.py — Skill loading and execution (markdown frontmatter, prompt injection)
• tests/test_tool_registry.py — Tests for tool registry
• tests/test_compaction.py — Tests for compaction
• tests/test_memory.py — Tests for memory
• tests/test_subagent.py — Tests for sub-agent
• tests/test_skills.py — Tests for skills
• tests/test_diff_view.py — Tests for diff generation

Modified files:

• tools.py — Refactor to use registry, add diff generation in Edit/Write
• agent.py — Add compaction call, depth/cancel_check params, sub-agent tool dispatch
• context.py — Inject memory context into system prompt
• config.py — Add new config keys (max_tool_output, max_depth, etc.)
• nano_claude.py — Add /memory, /skill, /agents slash commands, diff rendering

Task 2: Migrate Built-in Tools to Registry (tools.py refactor)

Files:

• Modify: tools.py (lines 1-360)

• Modify: agent.py (lines 5-6 imports, lines 52-130 run function)

• Step 1: Refactor tools.py to register via tool_registry

The key changes to tools.py:

1. Import tool_registry and call register_tool() for each built-in tool
2. Keep TOOL_SCHEMAS and execute_tool as thin wrappers for backward compat
3. Keep all _read, _write, etc. implementations unchanged

Add at the top of tools.py after existing imports:

from tool_registry import ToolDef, register_tool
from tool_registry import execute_tool as _registry_execute
from tool_registry import get_tool_schemas as _registry_schemas

At the bottom of tools.py (after all function definitions, replacing the existing execute_tool function), add the registration block and compatibility layer:

# --- Tool Registration ---------------------------------------------------

def _register_builtin_tools():
    """Register all 8 built-in tools with the registry."""

        return f"Edit: {inputs.get('file_path', '')}"
    return f"{name}: {inputs}"

Remove the old execute_tool function (lines 304-360 in original tools.py) and replace with the above.

• Step 2: Update agent.py imports

Change agent.py lines 5-6 from:

from tools import TOOL_SCHEMAS, execute_tool

to:

from tool_registry import get_tool_schemas, get_tool
from tools import execute_tool  # backward-compat wrapper with permissions
import tools as _tools_init  # ensure built-in tools are registered

Update the run() function where it references TOOL_SCHEMAS (around line 65) to use get_tool_schemas() instead.

• Step 3: Run the existing code to verify nothing is broken

Run: cd D:/git/open-cc/nano-claude-code && python -c "from tools import execute_tool; from tool_registry import get_all_tools; print(f'{len(get_all_tools())} tools registered'); print(execute_tool('Read', {'file_path': 'config.py'}, 'auto'))" Expected: 8 tools registered + contents of config.py

git add tools.py agent.py
git commit -m "refactor: migrate built-in tools to plugin registry"

• Step 3: Add diff generation functions to tools.py

Add near the top of tools.py, after the existing imports:

import difflib


def generate_unified_diff(old, new, filename, context_lines=3):
    """
    Generate a unified diff between two strings.

    Args:

def maybe_truncate_diff(diff_text, max_lines=80):
    """

    lines = diff_text.splitlines()
    if len(lines) <= max_lines:

    shown = lines[:max_lines]
    remaining = len(lines) - max_lines
    return "\n".join(shown) + f"\n\n[... {remaining} more lines ...]"

• Step 4: Modify _edit to return diff

Replace the _edit function (originally lines 175-192) with:

def _edit(file_path, old_string, new_string, replace_all=False):
    p = Path(file_path)
    if not p.exists():
        return f"Error: {file_path} not found"
    content = p.read_text(encoding="utf-8")
    if old_string not in content:
        return f"Error: old_string not found in {file_path}"
    old_content = content
    if replace_all:
        new_content = content.replace(old_string, new_string)
    else:
        count = content.count(old_string)
        if count > 1:
            return f"Error: old_string appears {count} times; use replace_all=true or provide more context"
        new_content = content.replace(old_string, new_string, 1)
    p.write_text(new_content, encoding="utf-8")
    filename = p.name
    diff = generate_unified_diff(old_content, new_content, filename)
    return f"Changes applied to {filename}:\n\n{diff}" if diff else f"No changes in {filename}"

• Step 5: Modify _write to return diff for existing files

Replace the _write function (originally lines 164-172) with:

def _write(file_path, content):
    p = Path(file_path)
    p.parent.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
    if p.exists():
        old_content = p.read_text(encoding="utf-8")
        p.write_text(content, encoding="utf-8")
        filename = p.name
        diff = generate_unified_diff(old_content, content, filename)
        truncated = maybe_truncate_diff(diff)
        return f"File updated — {filename}:\n\n{truncated}" if diff else f"No changes in {filename}"
    else:
        p.write_text(content, encoding="utf-8")
        line_count = content.count("\n") + (1 if content and not content.endswith("\n") else 0)
        return f"Created {file_path} ({line_count} lines)"

• Step 6: Add diff rendering to nano_claude.py

Add a new function after the flush_response function (around line 105):

def render_diff(text):
    """Render unified diff with ANSI colors."""
    for line in text.splitlines():
        if line.startswith("+++") or line.startswith("---"):
            print(clr(line, "bold"))
        elif line.startswith("+"):
            print(clr(line, "green"))
        elif line.startswith("-"):
            print(clr(line, "red"))
        elif line.startswith("@@"):
            print(clr(line, "cyan"))
        else:
            print(line)


def _has_diff(text):
    """Check if text contains a unified diff."""
    return ("--- a/" in text and "+++ b/" in text) or text.startswith("@@")

Modify the print_tool_end function (originally line 115) to detect and render diffs:

def print_tool_end(name, result, verbose):
    if name in ("Edit", "Write") and _has_diff(result):
        # Extract the diff portion and render with colors
        parts = result.split("\n\n", 1)
        if len(parts) == 2:
            info(parts[0])           # "Changes applied to file.py:"
            render_diff(parts[1])    # colored diff
        else:
            render_diff(result)
    elif verbose:
        info(f"  {C.get('dim','')}Result: {result[:200]}{'...' if len(result)>200 else ''}{C.get('reset','')}")

Also ensure the color dict C (line 60-70 of nano_claude.py) includes the needed keys. Check and add if missing:

# In the C dict, ensure these entries exist:
"bold": "\033[1m",
"cyan": "\033[36m",

• Step 7: Run tests to verify they pass

Run: cd D:/git/open-cc/nano-claude-code && python -m pytest tests/test_diff_view.py -v Expected: All 6 tests PASS

• Step 8: Manual smoke test

Run: cd D:/git/open-cc/nano-claude-code && python -c " from tools import _write, _edit import tempfile, os f = os.path.join(tempfile.mkdtemp(), 'test.py') print(_write(f, 'def hello():\n return 42\n')) print('---') print(_edit(f, 'return 42', 'return 99')) " Expected: First call shows "Created", second call shows colored diff with red -return 42 and green +return 99

• Step 9: Commit

git add tools.py nano_claude.py tests/test_diff_view.py
git commit -m "feat: add git-style diff view for Edit and Write tools"

• Step 6: Inject memory into context.py

Modify context.py's build_system_prompt() function (line 92). Add import at top:

from memory import get_memory_context

At the end of build_system_prompt(), before the return statement, add:

    memory_ctx = get_memory_context()
    if memory_ctx:
        prompt += f"\n\n# Memory\nYour persistent memories:\n{memory_ctx}\n"

• Step 7: Commit

cd D:/git/open-cc/nano-claude-code
git add memory.py tests/test_memory.py tools.py context.py
git commit -m "feat: add file-based memory system with MemorySave/MemoryDelete tools"

        yield event

• Step 4: Run tests to verify they pass

Run: cd D:/git/open-cc/nano-claude-code && python -m pytest tests/test_skills.py -v Expected: All 7 tests PASS

• Step 5: Integrate skills into nano_claude.py REPL

In nano_claude.py, add import near the top:

from skills import find_skill, execute_skill, load_skills

Modify the handle_slash function (line 373) to fall through to skill lookup. At the end of the function, after checking all built-in commands, before the "unknown command" error:

    # Try skills
    skill = find_skill(line)
    if skill:
        # Extract args: everything after the trigger
        cmd_parts = line.strip().split(maxsplit=1)
        args = cmd_parts[1] if len(cmd_parts) > 1 else ""
        return skill, args  # return skill for REPL to execute

This requires adjusting handle_slash return type. Currently it returns bool. Change it to return tuple | bool:

• True / False for built-in commands
• (SkillDef, args_str) for skill matches

In the REPL loop (around line 440), where handle_slash is called, add skill execution:

            result = handle_slash(user_input, state, config)
            if isinstance(result, tuple):
                # It's a skill
                skill, args = result
                system_prompt = build_system_prompt()
                info(f"Running skill: {skill.name}")
                for event in execute_skill(skill, args, state, config, system_prompt):
                    # Reuse existing event handling (same as query events)
                    if isinstance(event, TextChunk):
                        stream_text(event.text)
                    elif isinstance(event, ThinkingChunk):
                        stream_thinking(event.text, config.get("verbose"))
                    elif isinstance(event, ToolStart):
                        print_tool_start(event.name, event.inputs, config.get("verbose"))
                    elif isinstance(event, ToolEnd):
                        print_tool_end(event.name, event.result, config.get("verbose"))
                    elif isinstance(event, TurnDone):
                        flush_response()
                continue
            elif result:
                continue

Also add a /skills slash command to list available skills:

def cmd_skills(_args, _state, _config):
    skills = load_skills()
    if not skills:
        info("No skills found. Place .md files in ~/.nano_claude/skills/")
        return True
    for s in skills:
        triggers = ", ".join(s.triggers)
        info(f"  {s.name:15s} {triggers:25s} {s.description}")
    return True

Add "skills": cmd_skills to the COMMANDS dict.

• Step 6: Commit

cd D:/git/open-cc/nano-claude-code
git add skills.py tests/test_skills.py nano_claude.py
git commit -m "feat: add skills system with markdown definitions and /skills command"

Task 8: Config Updates + Remaining Slash Commands

Files:

• Modify: config.py (new config keys)

• Modify: nano_claude.py (add /memory, /agents commands)

• Step 1: Add new config defaults

In config.py, add to the DEFAULTS dict (line 11):

    "max_tool_output": 32000,
    "max_agent_depth": 3,
    "max_concurrent_agents": 3,

• Step 2: Add /memory slash command

In nano_claude.py, add:

def cmd_memory(args, _state, _config):
    from memory import load_index, search_memory
    if args:
        results = search_memory(args)
        if not results:
            info(f"No memories matching '{args}'")
            return True
        for m in results:
            info(f"  [{m.type}] {m.name}: {m.description}")
            info(f"    {m.content[:100]}{'...' if len(m.content) > 100 else ''}")
        return True
    entries = load_index()
    if not entries:
        info("No memories stored. The model can save memories via MemorySave tool.")
        return True
    info(f"  {len(entries)} memories:")
    for m in entries:
        info(f"  [{m.type:9s}] {m.name}: {m.description}")
    return True

Add "memory": cmd_memory to the COMMANDS dict.

• Step 3: Add /agents slash command

In nano_claude.py, add:

def cmd_agents(_args, _state, _config):
    try:
        from tools import _get_agent_manager
        mgr = _get_agent_manager()
        tasks = mgr.list_tasks()
        if not tasks:
            info("No sub-agent tasks.")
            return True
        info(f"  {len(tasks)} sub-agent tasks:")
        for t in tasks:
            preview = t.prompt[:40] + ("..." if len(t.prompt) > 40 else "")
            info(f"  {t.id} [{t.status:9s}] {preview}")
    except Exception:
        info("Sub-agent system not initialized.")
    return True

Add "agents": cmd_agents to the COMMANDS dict.

• Step 4: Update /help to include new commands

In cmd_help, add the new commands to the help text:

    info("  /memory [query]   Show/search persistent memories")
    info("  /skills           List available skills")
    info("  /agents           Show sub-agent tasks")

• Step 5: Verify all tests pass

Run: cd D:/git/open-cc/nano-claude-code && python -m pytest tests/ -v Expected: All tests across all test files PASS

• Step 6: Commit

cd D:/git/open-cc/nano-claude-code
git add config.py nano_claude.py
git commit -m "feat: add /memory, /skills, /agents commands and new config defaults"
