OpenCode Skills

Modular, self-contained "Skills" that extend AI capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, and tool integrations.

---

🚀 Overview

OpenCode Skills is a framework for building and managing AI Skills. A "Skill" is more than just a prompt; it's a packaged unit of procedural knowledge, automation scripts, and reference materials that transform a general-purpose AI into a domain expert.

While currently optimized for ~/.opencode, these skills can be dropped into any project to provide immediate context and specialized tools to AI agents (like GitHub Copilot, Claude, or custom OpenCode agents).

🧠 What are Skills?

Skills are "onboarding guides" for AI. They provide:

1. Specialized Workflows: Multi-step procedures for specific domains.
2. Tool Integrations: Instructions for working with specific APIs or file formats.
3. Domain Expertise: Schemas, business logic, and quality standards.
4. Bundled Resources: Scripts for deterministic tasks and assets for output generation.

🛠️ Getting Started

1. Installation

Ensure you have Bun and Python installed.

# Clone to your local config or project root
git clone https://github.com/ssdeanx/AI-Skills.git ~/.opencode

2. Creating a New Skill

Use the built-in generator to scaffold a new skill:

python skills/skill-creator/scripts/init_skill.py my-new-skill --path skills

3. Validation & Packaging

Before sharing or using a skill, validate its structure:

python skills/skill-creator/scripts/quick_validate.py skills/my-new-skill
python skills/skill-creator/scripts/package_skill.py skills/my-new-skill

🔧 Advanced Usage

Project-Level Integration

To use these skills in a specific project, simply copy the desired skill folder into your project's .opencode/skill/ directory. AI agents will automatically prioritize these local versions.

Progressive Disclosure

Skills are designed to be context-efficient.

• Metadata is always loaded.
• SKILL.md is loaded only when the skill triggers.
• References/Scripts are loaded only when explicitly needed by the agent.
