FAQPage Schema

How do I create a new OpenCode skill with valid YAML frontmatter?▼

To create an OpenCode skill, define its purpose, select a structural pattern like workflow or style/output, and write a valid SKILL.md file with correct YAML frontmatter including name and description for agent discovery.

What's the best way to structure an OpenCode skill for agent development?▼

Structuring an OpenCode skill involves choosing between a workflow pattern for procedural tasks or a style/output pattern for formatting, then writing the body content in SKILL.md to match the selected pattern and scope.

Does OpenCode skill creation require any specific dependencies or tools?▼

OpenCode skill creation requires no external dependencies; it guides you through requirements gathering, pattern selection, and writing the SKILL.md file, then saves it to the appropriate global or project-local path.

How do I choose between workflow and style/output patterns when generating an OpenCode skill?▼

Choose a workflow pattern for step-by-step automation tasks like code formatting, or a style/output pattern for generating consistent output formats, based on the skill's defined purpose and scope.

Where should I save generated OpenCode skills for global vs project-local access?▼

Save generated OpenCode skills to the global directory for broad reuse across projects, or to the project-local path for scoped access, depending on whether the skill applies generally or to a specific project.

Why does my OpenCode skill not appear in agent discovery after creation?▼

OpenCode skills may not appear in agent discovery if the YAML frontmatter lacks the correct name or description fields, or if the SKILL.md file is not saved to the appropriate global or project-local skill path.
