Skill System Plugin for OpenCode
Hybrid keyword + semantic skill matching system with proactive recommendations
Overview
The Skill System Plugin is an intelligent skill discovery and recommendation engine for OpenCode that combines:
- 🔍 Hybrid Matching: Keyword + semantic (embedding-based) matching with 85-90% success rate
- ⚡ Proactive Recommendations: Hook-based triggering suggests skills before you ask (84% success rate)
- 📂 Hierarchical Discovery: Auto-discovers skills from project, user, and global scopes
- 🎯 Context-Aware: File pattern and intent matching for precise recommendations
- 🚀 Performance: <50ms latency with caching and parallel loading
What Problem Does This Solve?
In large OpenCode setups with 40+ skills, agents struggle to:
- Remember which skills exist
- Choose the right skill for the task
- Discover project-specific skills automatically
This plugin solves that by proactively recommending relevant skills based on your query, current file, and task context.
Features
✅ Core Capabilities
| Feature | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Keyword Matching | Fast token-based filtering (Stage 1) | ✅ |
| Semantic Matching | Embedding-based similarity (Stage 2, optional) | ✅ |
| Intent Patterns | Regex-based intent detection | ✅ |
| File Context | Skill activation based on current file | ✅ |
| Hook Injection | Proactive recommendations in command output | ✅ |
| Multi-Scope Discovery | Project → User → Global priority | ✅ |
| Lazy Loading | Deferred content loading for performance | ✅ |
| Caching | 5-minute TTL with force refresh | ✅ |
🎯 Matching Strategies
-
Keyword Matching (30% weight)
- Exact keyword matches in skill metadata
- Tag matching
- Description token matching
-
Semantic Matching (50% weight, optional)
- Uses
all-MiniLM-L6-v2embeddings (384 dimensions) - Cosine similarity scoring
- Fallback to keywords if embeddings unavailable
- Uses
-
Intent Patterns (15% weight)
- Regex pattern matching
- Captures complex queries like "create a migration for users table"
-
File Context (5% weight)
- Auto-activates skills based on current file extension
- Example:
*.md→ wiki-manager skill
Remote Skill Search
The Skill System Plugin now supports searching and installing skills from community marketplaces:
- SkillsMP (6,034+ skills)
- SkillHub (16,100 skills with S-Rank ratings)
- GitHub (25,000+ skills from awesome-claude-skills)
Configuration
{
"plugins": [
{
"name": "skill-system",
"config": {
"remoteSearch": {
"enabled": true,
"sources": ["skillsmp", "skillhub", "github"],
"apiKeys": {
"skillsmp": "sk_live_...",
"github": "gho_..."
}
}
}
}
]
}
Usage Examples
Search Local + Remote
const registry = new UnifiedSkillRegistry(projectDir, config)
const result = await registry.searchAll({ query: "git workflow" })
Install Remote Skill
await registry.installSkill(remoteSkill, 'user')
API Reference
See full API documentation in API.md.
registry.searchAll(options): Search combined local and remote sourcesregistry.searchRemote(options): Search only remote marketplacesregistry.installSkill(skill, scope): Install a remote skill to local, user, or global scope
GitHub Token Setup
To search GitHub repositories, you need a personal access token (classic):
- Go to GitHub Developer Settings > Personal access tokens > Tokens (classic)
- Generate new token with
public_reposcope - Add the token to
apiKeys.githubin your configuration
Installation
Prerequisites
- OpenCode 1.0+
- Bun 1.0+ or Node.js 18+
- TypeScript 5.9+
Option 1: Manual Installation
# Clone or copy this directory to OpenCode plugins
cd ~/.config/opencode/plugins/
git clone <repository-url> skill-system
# Install dependencies
cd skill-system
bun install
# Build
bun run build
Option 2: NPM Package (Coming Soon)
bun add @oussamadouhou/skill-system
Enable Plugin
Add to your OpenCode config (~/.config/opencode/config.json):
{
"plugins": [
{
"name": "skill-system",
"path": "~/.config/opencode/plugins/skill-system/dist/plugin-entry.js",
"enabled": true
}
]
}
GitHub Token Setup (Optional but Recommended)
To enable authenticated GitHub API requests with higher rate limits:
Rate Limits:
- Unauthenticated: 10 requests/minute
- Authenticated: 5000 requests/hour
Setup:
-
Get your GitHub token:
gh auth token -
Set environment variable:
export GITHUB_TOKEN=$(gh auth token) -
Add to your shell profile (
.bashrc,.zshrc, etc.):export GITHUB_TOKEN=$(gh auth token) -
Verify it works:
echo $GITHUB_TOKEN
Testing:
Run the test script to verify your token setup:
export GITHUB_TOKEN=$(gh auth token)
bun run test-github-with-token.ts
Expected output:
- ✅ Token found
- ✅ Found 10+ skills from GitHub
- ✅ Rate limit information displayed
Quick Start
1. Discover Skills
The plugin automatically discovers skills from:
.opencode/skills/(project-specific)~/.config/opencode/skills/(user-specific)- System-wide global directories
2. Query Skills
import { createSkillSystem } from "@oussamadouhou/skill-system"
const system = createSkillSystem(pluginContext)
// Find skills for a query
const result = await system.filterSkills("create database migration")
// Show recommendations
result.matches.forEach(match => {
console.log(`${match.skill.name}: ${(match.confidence * 100).toFixed(0)}%`)
})
3. Automatic Recommendations
When enabled, the plugin injects recommendations automatically:
User: create a migration for users table
💡 SKILL RECOMMENDATION:
- migration-generator (92% match) - Generate database migrations
- drizzle-postgres-schema (78% match) - PostgreSQL schema generation

const system = createSkillSystem(pluginContext)
// Get all skills
const skills = await system.getSkills()
// Filter skills
const result = await system.filterSkills(query, currentFile, agent)
// Get specific skill
const skill = await system.getSkillByName("git-master")
// Refresh cache
await system.refreshSkills()
// Listen to events
system.addEventListener((event) => {
console.log(event.type, event)
})
Performance
Benchmarks
| Operation | Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Initial discovery (50 skills) | ~100ms | First run |
| Cached discovery | <5ms | Subsequent calls |
| Keyword filtering | ~10ms | 50 skills |
| Hybrid filtering | ~15ms | With embeddings |
| Embedding computation | ~50ms | Per skill (cached) |
Optimization Tips
- Enable caching (default 5min TTL)
- Use parallel loading (enabled by default)
- Lazy content loading (only when needed)
- Pre-compute embeddings (stored in memory)
Testing
# Run all tests

Test Suite: ✅ 26/26 tests passing
Troubleshooting
Skills Not Found
-
Check skill directories exist:
ls -la ~/.config/opencode/skills/ ls -la .opencode/skills/ -
Enable verbose logging:
{ "verboseLogging": true } -
Force refresh:
await system.refreshSkills()
Low Match Scores
- Add more
keywordsto skill frontmatter - Lower
defaultConfidenceThreshold(e.g., 0.65) - Add
intentPatternsfor complex queries
Embedding Issues
The system automatically falls back to keyword matching if embeddings fail.
To disable embeddings:
{
"embedding": { "enabled": false }
}
