Question

In the docs for skills, it seems like it is recommending to install skills in ~/.opencode/skill, while most of the other docs are recommending that skills are installed in ~/.config/opencode/skill.

Furthermore, it seems that ~/.config/opencode/skill works fine as well, and it remains undocumented.

Link to docs.

Is there a reason for this difference? This is also important for those of us who version control our opencode configurations - having the split is sub-optimal for those cases.

Expected: There should be only one way that the docs recommend to install configurations and skills across the board

Hi @conradkoh this was a miss on my end when I opened the original skill PR, actually both paths are supported by opendcode as valid global directories. I have mad a PR to clarify this.

Thanks

I updated it to be ~/.config/opencode/skill in #6132 because I also got confused!
Not sure why it isn't live on the website yet 🤷

Great, thanks @connorads. Hmm, is the docs release pipeline not auto run on merge 🤔

It would be great to support standards agent skills like https://agentskills.io/home

What do you mean exactly @LeoMartinDev? Can you give some example(s)
OpenCode already supports agent skills: https://opencode.ai/docs/skills/

PS. I think we can close this issue now @conradkoh

Actually opencode only detects SKILLS from .claude or .opencode directories. What would be great is for opencode to support SKILLS from everywhere in the project

@LeoMartinDev what part of the spec isn't being implemented?
