OpenCode Skills is an independent directory of reusable SKILL.md packs for OpenCode. The site is opencodeskills.dev. On 2026-09-14 the homepage listed 156 skills across 18 categories, MIT on the cards, and a one-liner install curl -fsSL https://opencodeskills.dev/install.sh | sh. No account. Global path ~/.config/opencode/skills/, project path .opencode/skills/. It showed up on r/opencode as a way to stop hunting GitHub for OpenCode skills.
About says the project is community-run, not affiliated with or endorsed by OpenCode. Official skill docs stay at opencode.ai/docs/skills. The about page names GitHub account atif0075; the listed repo URL atif0075/opencode-skills returned 404 on 2026-09-14, so do not treat that path as a live source.
Compare OpenCode if you needed the host, Agent Skills if you wanted Addy Osmani's 25-skill engineering pack, or Claude Skills if you still needed how SKILL.md loads.
Key Features
- Catalog: search by workflow, tool, or category. Cards show version, MIT, triggers, a details page, and a
.zipdownload. - Recommended starters: Git Commits & Pull Requests, Astro Development, Deep Research.
- Categories on 2026-09-14: AI & ML 17, Architecture 7, Cloud 8, Code Quality 8, Data 5, Databases 7, Design 8, DevOps 14, Documentation 5, Frameworks 15, Integrations 17, Mobile 7, Performance 5, Recommended 3, Security 12, Testing 3, Workflow 9, Writing 6 (counts from the homepage filter).
- Machine feeds: sitemap, RSS,
llms.txt,llms-full.txt,ai.txt. - Review note from About: schema checks cover pages, archives, links, metadata, and structured data. They do not certify that every workflow was executed.
Limitation: skills are instruction files, not sandboxed software. About says license labels are catalog declarations, not an audit of provenance, and the legacy catalog does not always record upstream authors. The homepage also showed a third-party ad network. Read a skill before you let an agent follow it.
Use Cases
- OpenCode users who want a browsable zip instead of cloning random GitHub trees.
- Teams that keep skills in
.opencode/skills/so the repo review includes the instructions. - People who should use opencode.ai/docs/skills first if they needed the official host format, not this directory.
Pricing
| Piece | Price | Notes from first-party pages 2026-09-14 |
|---|---|---|
| Directory and zips | $0 | No account. Cards label MIT. About invites optional coffee donations. |
| OpenCode host | Confirm that product | OpenCode has its own free and paid paths. |
| Skills themselves | Read each file | Catalog MIT is not an independent license audit. |
Getting Started
- Open opencodeskills.dev and pick a skill, or run the documented
install.sh(pipe-to-sh: read the script first). - Drop the folder into
~/.config/opencode/skills/or.opencode/skills/. - Confirm the host loads
SKILL.mdper OpenCode skills docs. - Corrections: About points to GitHub issues on the (currently 404) repo, or the on-site contact email.
First-party resource: the About page and opencode.ai/docs/skills.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this official OpenCode?
No. About states it is independent and uses the name only to identify the target tool.
Are all 156 skills original?
About says a link to this project identifies the distributed copy, not original authorship. Do not invent authors.
Does install.sh need an account?
Homepage says no account and no registry client. Still read the script before piping it to a shell.
Alternatives
- OpenCode: the agent that loads skills.
- Agent Skills: Addy Osmani's MIT engineering pack via
npx skills. - Writing Skills: a writing-focused collection, not an OpenCode directory.
Tips
- Quote 156 skills, 18 categories, independent/not affiliated, and the 404 repo from pages checked 2026-09-14.
- Prefer project-local
.opencode/skills/so the zip is reviewable in git. - Do not treat catalog MIT or homepage ads as a security review.
Conclusion
OpenCode Skills is the independent 156-pack directory that showed up on r/opencode: zip in, SKILL.md out, no account. Start at opencodeskills.dev. For the official format, open OpenCode and its skills docs.

Seven AI Coding CLIs, Six Months: No Matter How Strong the Model, Work Needs Supervision
Claude Code, Codex, opencode, pi, omp and DeepSeek Harness all have personalities. After six months of deep use I run a division of labor: pi for the fastest cheapest reviews, omp for complex PRs, DeepSeek Harness on V4 Flash for high-frequency low-cost review, and Claude Code, Qoder and Cursor for writing. No matter how strong the model, work needs supervision — ideally from an independent third party.
