A developer-curated shortlist has put OpenCode's skill ecosystem back in focus, with ten reusable GitHub repositories being circulated as add-ons for planning, design, code navigation and token discipline. The attention matters because OpenCode now treats skills as first-class reusable task instructions: its documentation says a skill can be added with a SKILL.md file in .opencode/skills/<skill-id>, then loaded by the agent only when relevant through the skill tool (OpenCode skills documentation).
