opencode-primitive-selector

Choosing between OpenCode Commands and Skills depends on your trigger source: Commands handle user-triggered workflows, while Skills guide agent behavior patterns. The selector provides a decision framework to compare primitives and ensure effective platform use.

Select the right OpenCode primitive for agent development by matching the task to the primitive type: Tools and CustomTools provide platform capability access, while Plugin hooks intercept events. Detailed comparisons facilitate informed decisions.

You need OpenCode Plugin hooks when your task requires event interception within workflows, whereas CustomTools are for defining specific platform capabilities. The primitive selector framework helps identify which scenario applies to your task.

OpenCode Prompts are suited for agent definition and guidance, but for reusable workflows that combine multiple tools, Commands or Skills are typically more appropriate. The selector clarifies these distinctions for your specific scenario.

A single OpenCode primitive may not cover complex workflow design scenarios involving both reusable workflows and event interception. The selector identifies limitations by providing detailed comparisons across Commands, Skills, Tools, and Plugin hooks.
