🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Opencode - AI coding assistant (opencode.dev)
• Nix (optional) - For declarative deployment via home-manager
• Python 3 - For skill validation and creation scripts

Installation

Option 1: Nix Flake (Recommended)

This repository is consumed as a non-flake input by your NixOS configuration:

# In your flake.nix
inputs.agents = {
  url = "git+https://code.m3ta.dev/m3tam3re/AGENTS";
  flake = false;  # Pure files, not a Nix flake
};

# In your home-manager module (e.g., opencode.nix)
xdg.configFile = {
  "opencode/skills".source = "${inputs.agents}/skills";
  "opencode/context".source = "${inputs.agents}/context";
  "opencode/commands".source = "${inputs.agents}/commands";
  "opencode/prompts".source = "${inputs.agents}/prompts";
};

# Agent config is embedded into config.json, not deployed as files
programs.opencode.settings.agent = builtins.fromJSON
  (builtins.readFile "${inputs.agents}/agents/agents.json");

Rebuild your system:

home-manager switch

Note: The agents/ directory is NOT deployed as files. Instead, agents.json is read at Nix evaluation time and embedded into the opencode config.json.

Option 2: Manual Installation

Clone and symlink:

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/AGENTS.git ~/AGENTS

# Create symlinks to Opencode config directory
ln -s ~/AGENTS/skills ~/.config/opencode/skills
ln -s ~/AGENTS/context ~/.config/opencode/context
ln -s ~/AGENTS/commands ~/.config/opencode/commands
ln -s ~/AGENTS/prompts ~/.config/opencode/prompts

Verify Installation

Check that Opencode can see your skills:

# Skills should be available at ~/.config/opencode/skills/
ls ~/.config/opencode/skills/

🎨 Creating Your First Skill

Skills are modular packages that extend Opencode with specialized knowledge and workflows.

1. Initialize a New Skill

python3 skills/skill-creator/scripts/init_skill.py my-skill-name --path skills/

This creates:

• skills/my-skill-name/SKILL.md - Main skill documentation
• skills/my-skill-name/scripts/ - Executable code (optional)
• skills/my-skill-name/references/ - Reference documentation (optional)
• skills/my-skill-name/assets/ - Templates and files (optional)

2. Edit the Skill

Open skills/my-skill-name/SKILL.md and customize:

---
name: my-skill-name
description: What it does and when to use it. Include trigger keywords.
compatibility: opencode
---
# My Skill Name

## Overview

[Your skill instructions for Opencode]

3. Validate the Skill

python3 skills/skill-creator/scripts/quick_validate.py skills/my-skill-name

4. Test the Skill

Test your skill without deploying via home-manager:

# Use the test script to validate and list skills
./scripts/test-skill.sh my-skill-name    # Validate specific skill
./scripts/test-skill.sh --list           # List all dev skills
./scripts/test-skill.sh --run            # Launch opencode with dev skills

The test script creates a temporary config directory with symlinks to this repo's skills, allowing you to test changes before committing.

🛠️ Development Workflow

Quality Gates

Before committing:

1. Validate skills: ./scripts/test-skill.sh --validate or python3 skills/skill-creator/scripts/quick_validate.py skills/<name>
2. Test locally: ./scripts/test-skill.sh --run to launch opencode with dev skills
3. Check formatting: Ensure YAML frontmatter is valid
4. Update docs: Keep README and AGENTS.md in sync

🎓 Learning Resources

Essential Documentation

• AGENTS.md - Complete developer guide for AI agents
• skills/skill-creator/SKILL.md - Comprehensive skill creation guide
• skills/skill-creator/references/workflows.md - Workflow pattern library
• skills/skill-creator/references/output-patterns.md - Output formatting patterns

Skill Design Principles

1. Concise is key - Context window is a shared resource
2. Progressive disclosure - Load information as needed
3. Appropriate freedom - Match specificity to task fragility
4. No extraneous files - Keep skills focused and minimal

Example Skills to Study

• skill-creator/ - Meta-skill with bundled resources
• reflection/ - Conversation analysis with rating system
• basecamp/ - MCP server integration with multiple tool categories
• brainstorming/ - Framework-based ideation with Obsidian markdown save
• memory/ - SQLite-based hybrid search implementation

🔧 Customization

Modify Agent Behavior

Edit agents/agents.json for agent definitions and prompts/*.txt for system prompts:

• agents/agents.json - Agent names, models, permissions
• prompts/chiron.txt - Chiron (Plan Mode) system prompt
