Opencode Agent Skills & Configurations

Central repository for Opencode Agent Skills, AI agent configurations, custom commands, and AI-assisted workflows. This is an extensible framework for building productivity systems, automations, knowledge management, and specialized AI capabilities.

🎯 What This Repository Provides

This repository serves as a personal AI operating system - a collection of skills, agents, and configurations that extend Opencode's capabilities for:

  • Productivity & Task Management - PARA methodology, GTD workflows, project tracking
  • Knowledge Management - Note-taking, research workflows, information organization
  • Communications - Email management, meeting scheduling, follow-up tracking
  • AI Development - Tools for creating new skills and agent configurations
  • Memory & Context - Persistent memory systems, conversation analysis
  • Custom Workflows - Domain-specific automation and specialized agents

🚀 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
  • bd (beads) (optional) - For issue tracking

Installation

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/skill".source = "${inputs.agents}/skill";
  "opencode/context".source = "${inputs.agents}/context";
  "opencode/command".source = "${inputs.agents}/command";
  "opencode/prompts".source = "${inputs.agents}/prompts";
};

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

Rebuild your system:

home-manager switch

Note: The agent/ 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 symlink to Opencode config directory
ln -s ~/AGENTS ~/.config/opencode

Verify Installation

Check that Opencode can see your skills:

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

🎨 Creating Your First Skill

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

1. Initialize a New Skill

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

This creates:

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

2. Edit the Skill

Open skill/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 skill/skill-creator/scripts/quick_validate.py skill/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.

🤖 AI Agents

Chiron - Personal Assistant

Configuration: agent/agents.json + prompts/chiron.txt

Chiron is a personal AI assistant focused on productivity and task management. Named after the wise centaur from Greek mythology, Chiron provides:

  • Task and project management guidance
  • Daily and weekly review workflows
  • Skill routing based on user intent
  • Integration with productivity tools (Anytype, ntfy, n8n)

Modes:

  • Chiron (Plan Mode) - Read-only analysis and planning (prompts/chiron.txt)
  • Chiron-Forge (Worker Mode) - Full write access with safety prompts (prompts/chiron-forge.txt)

Triggers: Personal productivity requests, task management, reviews, planning

🛠️ Development Workflow

Issue Tracking with Beads

This project uses beads for AI-native issue tracking:

bd ready              # Find available work
bd create "title"     # Create new issue
bd update <id> --status in_progress
bd close <id>         # Complete work
bd sync               # Sync with git

Quality Gates

Before committing:

  1. Validate skills: ./scripts/test-skill.sh --validate or python3 skill/skill-creator/scripts/quick_validate.py skill/<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

Session Completion

When ending a work session:

  1. File beads issues for remaining work
  2. Run quality gates
  3. Update issue status
  4. Push to remote (mandatory):
    git pull --rebase
    bd sync
    git push
    
  5. Verify changes are pushed

🎓 Learning Resources

Essential Documentation

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

  • task-management/ - Full implementation with Anytype integration
  • skill-creator/ - Meta-skill with bundled resources
  • reflection/ - Conversation analysis with rating system

🔧 Customization

Modify Agent Behavior

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

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

Note: Agent changes require home-manager switch to take effect (config is embedded, not symlinked).

Update User Context

Edit context/profile.md to configure:

  • Work style preferences
  • PARA areas and projects
  • Communication preferences
  • Integration status

Add Custom Commands

Create new command definitions in command/ directory following the pattern in command/reflection.md.
