OpenCode Skills

OpenCode reads the shared and the Claude folders as well as its own, and lets you allow, deny or ask per Skill. 104 ready-made Skills for video, images, web pages and slides.

Skills to try in OpenCode

Each one is a plain SKILL.md folder, the format OpenCode reads. Skills that make images or video call FAL with your own key, so your agent needs to be allowed to run terminal commands.

How to add a Skill to OpenCode

Get the Skill’s ZIP from its card once downloads open, then:

  1. Unzip the Skill so its folder sits at ~/.config/opencode/skills/<skill>/SKILL.md, or at .opencode/skills/<skill>/ in a project.
  2. Start OpenCode in your project. If it was already running and the Skill doesn’t show, restart it.
  3. Ask which Skills it has; they come from the skill tool’s list.
  4. Ask for the result and the agent loads the Skill when it matches.

Good to know

  • Permissions decide what agents see. In opencode.json, "permission": {"skill": {...}} sets allow, deny or ask by name pattern. A Skill set to deny is hidden from agents.
  • Names must be unique. OpenCode’s troubleshooting list: SKILL.md in capitals, name and description in the frontmatter, no duplicate names across folders.
  • Per-agent rules. An agent can get different Skill permissions from the global ones, in its own frontmatter or in opencode.json.

OpenCode Skills vs agents

A Skill is a set of instructions any OpenCode agent can load through the skill tool when the task matches. Agents such as plan can get their own Skill permissions, so one agent may use a Skill that another is denied.

FAQ

OpenCode Skills: questions

Where does OpenCode look for Skills?

Project: .opencode/skills/, .claude/skills/ and .agents/skills/, walking up to the git worktree root. Global: ~/.config/opencode/skills/, ~/.claude/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/. Source (opens in a new tab)

Do my Claude Code Skills work in OpenCode?

OpenCode loads ~/.claude/skills/ and .claude/skills/ as Claude-compatible folders, so Skills already there are found. Source (opens in a new tab)

A Skill doesn’t show up in OpenCode.

Check that the file is named SKILL.md in capitals, its frontmatter has name and description, no other folder has a Skill with the same name, and no permission rule denies it. Source (opens in a new tab)

Can I make OpenCode ask before using a Skill?

Yes. Set the Skill, or a name pattern such as "experimental-*", to "ask" under permission.skill in opencode.json. Source (opens in a new tab)
