Customization
Project Context
Create or update AGENTS.md (created on first run or via /init) with a short project summary:
# Project
## Tech
- Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL
## Standards
- Async/await everywhere
- Tests for new features
- No hardcoded secrets
Agent Configuration
Edit .opencode/agents/[agent].md to adjust behavior (model, permissions).
Note: older installs may still recognize .opencode/agent/ temporarily, but .opencode/agents/ is canonical.
Custom Commands
Add command files to .opencode/commands/ with frontmatter (description, agent). Type /command-name in the TUI to run.
Skills
Skills live in .opencode/skills/ and can be loaded on demand:
- Example skills:
ux-responsive,project-bootstrap,agent-diagnostics,docs-validation - For the canonical current list, use the Skills Matrix
Recommended policy:
- Load skills on demand only when the task clearly matches the domain.
- Use one relevant skill by default; add a second only for explicit cross-domain work.
Skill Permissions per Agent
Harden each agent with permission.skill allowlists:
permission:
skill:
"*": "deny"
"blogger": "allow"
"brutal-critic": "allow"
This prevents unrelated skills from being loaded and keeps behavior predictable.
Scope Policy (Core-only)
Current distribution is intentionally core-only; no optional skill packs are shipped.
When evaluating potential additions, use this gate:
- Repeated demand in real usage
- Clear capability gap vs current core
- Named maintenance owner
- Clean licensing/provenance (or clean-room rewrite)
