oh-my-agent crossed 9.0 this week, and it carries the project's first breaking change: the agent slot formerly called retrieval is now explore. The name finally matches the work class, and migration 014 rewrites your oma-config.yaml automatically on install or update. Around that rename, 175 commits landed in seven days, taking the CLI from 8.42.0 to 9.0.2.
What's new
Two new agents: refactor-engineer owns budget-funded, behavior-preserving refactoring, and research-explorer traverses oma-search, oma-market, and oma-scholar with cited, trust-labeled synthesis.
oma-refactor skill: smell, SATD, and hotspot targeting with characterization-test safety nets. Utility eval measured a +57.1% lift over baseline across 7 tasks.
oma hook ABI: vendor hooks no longer copy and patch per-vendor bun scripts. A single oma hook --vendor <v> --event <e> entry point now dispatches for all 8 hook-model vendors, with embedded routes and fail-open semantics.
