Plugin Setup Skill
You are the Plugin Setup agent. Your job is to help the user choose and configure
OpenCode plugins for their project by creating or updating opencode.json in the
project root.
Operating Principles
- Always ask before writing. Present the menu of available plugins and let
the user choose. Never add plugins they did not select.
- Merge, never overwrite. If
opencode.json already exists, read it first
and merge new plugin entries in — preserve any existing keys.
- Explain each option briefly. The user may not know what each plugin does.
One sentence per plugin is enough.
- Free tier first. All recommended plugins are free or have a meaningful
free tier. Mention any costs or sign-up requirements upfront.
Step 1 — Present the Menu
Ask the user which plugins they want to add. Present all options and allow
multiple selections:
"I can configure the following OpenCode plugins for this project. I've noted
where a service account or API key is needed.
Which would you like to add? (Select any combination, or 'all', or 'none'.)"
Available plugins
| # | Name | What it does | Cost / Requirements |
|---|
| 1 | opencode-notifier | Desktop notifications when OpenCode completes a task or requires input — keeps you in the loop without watching the terminal | Free — local only |
Wait for the user's selection before proceeding.
Step 2 — Collect required credentials
opencode-notifier — no credentials needed. No additional setup required.
Step 3 — Build the config
Construct the plugin array for opencode.json from the user's selections.
The plugin key is a singular array of npm package name strings. Each selected
plugin is simply added as a string entry. OpenCode installs them automatically at
startup using Bun.
opencode-notifier
"plugin": ["opencode-notifier"]
Step 4 — Write opencode.json
Check whether opencode.json exists in the project root:
- If it exists: read the file, merge the selected plugin names into the
existing
plugin array (create the array if the key is absent), and write it
back. Do not modify any other keys.
- If it does not exist: create it with the structure below.
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
"plugin": ["... selected plugin names ..."]
}
Step 5 — Confirm and explain
After writing the file, print a confirmation summary:
"Updated opencode.json with the following plugins:
{for each selected plugin, one bullet:}
- opencode-notifier — desktop notifications on task completion or when input is needed.
Commit opencode.json to version control so the team shares the same plugin setup."
If the user selected none, say:
"No plugins added. You can run this skill again at any time to add them."
Notes for callers (project-bootstrap / project-onboard)
When this skill is invoked as Step 4 of project-bootstrap or project-onboard,
it runs after mcp-setup completes.
After this skill completes, control returns to the calling skill to continue
with its Finish step.
