Problem

Currently, skills installed in OpenCode (via git clone or manual copy) have no update mechanism:

  1. No update notification - Users don't know when upstream skills have new versions
  2. No auto-update - Must manually git pull or re-clone each skill
  3. No version tracking - No way to see installed vs latest version

This is especially problematic for popular skills like:

  • obra/superpowers (currently at v4.0.3)
  • OthmanAdi/planning-with-files (currently at v2.4.1)
  • nextlevelbuilder/ui-ux-pro-max-skill

Proposed Solution

Option A: Update Check Command

opencode skill check-updates
# Output:
# superpowers: v4.0.1 → v4.0.3 (update available)
# planning-with-files: v2.4.1 (up to date)

Option B: Startup Notification

On startup, check for updates and show notification:

[!] 2 skill updates available. Run `/skill update` to update.

Option C: Auto-Update (with config flag)

// opencode.json
{
  "skill": {
    "autoUpdate": true,  // or "notify" or false
    "checkInterval": "daily"
  }
}

Implementation Considerations

  1. Skills installed via git clone can use git fetch to check for updates
  2. Skills from npm plugins would follow npm update mechanism (per PR #9010)
  3. Need to track installation source (git URL vs manual copy vs npm)

Related Issues

  • #8386 - Skill Registry proposal (includes version management)
  • #9010 - Plugin skill support (npm-based updates)
  • #6013 - Add Skill Configuration to Config Type

Environment

  • OpenCode v1.1.28
  • Skills installed via git clone to ~/.config/opencode/skills/

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

  • #8386: Comprehensive Skill Registry + Installer proposal that includes version management, pinned installs, and update mechanisms
  • #8751: Hot-reload feature that enables agents to create and reload skills on-the-fly
  • #7846: /skills command for listing and quick-invoking skills with better discoverability

#8386 in particular addresses most of the core functionality proposed here (update checks, version tracking, and auto-update via registry mechanism), though with a broader scope. The approaches are complementary - #8386 focuses on registry-based installation and management, while this issue focuses on update notifications for existing installations.

Feel free to ignore if your use case requires a different approach or if you'd like to track standalone update mechanisms separate from the registry system.
