feat(opencode): use native skills and fix agent reset bug (#226) (#330)

* fix use_skill agent context (#290)

* fix: respect OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR for personal skills lookup (#297)

* fix: respect OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR for personal skills lookup

The plugin was hardcoded to look for personal skills in ~/.config/opencode/skills,
ignoring users who set OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR to a custom path (e.g., for dotfiles management).

Now uses OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR if set, falling back to the default path.

* fix: update help text to use dynamic paths

Use configDir and personalSkillsDir variables in help text so paths
are accurate when OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR is set.

* fix: normalize OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR before use

Handle edge cases where the env var might be:
- Empty or whitespace-only
- Using ~ for home directory (common in .env files)
- A relative path

Now trims, expands ~, and resolves to absolute path.

* feat(opencode): use native skills and fix agent reset bug (#226)

- Replace custom use_skill/find_skills tools with OpenCode's native skill tool
- Use experimental.chat.system.transform hook instead of session.prompt
  (fixes #226 agent reset on first message)
- Symlink skills directory into ~/.config/opencode/skills/superpowers/
- Update installation docs with comprehensive Windows support:
  - Command Prompt, PowerShell, and Git Bash instructions
  - Proper symlink vs junction handling
  - Reinstall safety with cleanup steps
  - Verification commands for each shell

* Add OpenCode native skills changes to release notes

Documents:
- Breaking change: switch to native skill tool
- Fix for agent reset bug (#226)
- Fix for Windows installation (#232)

### Prerequisites
- [OpenCode.ai](https://opencode.ai) installed
- Node.js installed
- Git installed
### Installation Steps
#### 1. Install Superpowers
### macOS / Linux
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.config/opencode/superpowers
git clone https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git ~/.config/opencode/superpowers
```
# 1. Install Superpowers (or update existing)
if [ -d ~/.config/opencode/superpowers ]; then
cd ~/.config/opencode/superpowers && git pull
else
git clone https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git ~/.config/opencode/superpowers
fi
#### 2. Register the Plugin
# 2. Create directories
mkdir -p ~/.config/opencode/plugin ~/.config/opencode/skills
OpenCode discovers plugins from `~/.config/opencode/plugin/`. Create a symlink:
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.config/opencode/plugin
# 3. Create symlinks (safe for reinstalls - ln -sf overwrites)
ln -sf ~/.config/opencode/superpowers/.opencode/plugin/superpowers.js ~/.config/opencode/plugin/superpowers.js
ln -sf ~/.config/opencode/superpowers/skills ~/.config/opencode/skills/superpowers
# 4. Restart OpenCode
```
Alternatively, for project-local installation:
#### Verify Installation
```bash
# In your OpenCode project
mkdir -p .opencode/plugin
ln -sf ~/.config/opencode/superpowers/.opencode/plugin/superpowers.js .opencode/plugin/superpowers.js
ls -l ~/.config/opencode/plugin/superpowers.js
ls -l ~/.config/opencode/skills/superpowers
```
#### 3. Restart OpenCode
Both should show symlinks pointing to the superpowers directory.
Restart OpenCode to load the plugin. Superpowers will automatically activate.
### Windows
**Prerequisites:**
- Git installed
- Either **Developer Mode** enabled OR **Administrator privileges**
- Windows 10: Settings → Update & Security → For developers
- Windows 11: Settings → System → For developers
Pick your shell below: [Command Prompt](#command-prompt) | [PowerShell](#powershell) | [Git Bash](#git-bash)
#### Command Prompt
Run as Administrator, or with Developer Mode enabled:
```cmd
:: 1. Install Superpowers
git clone https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git "%USERPROFILE%\.config\opencode\superpowers"
:: 2. Create directories
mkdir "%USERPROFILE%\.config\opencode\plugin" 2>nul
mkdir "%USERPROFILE%\.config\opencode\skills" 2>nul
:: 3. Remove existing links (safe for reinstalls)
del "%USERPROFILE%\.config\opencode\plugin\superpowers.js" 2>nul
rmdir "%USERPROFILE%\.config\opencode\skills\superpowers" 2>nul
:: 4. Create plugin symlink (requires Developer Mode or Admin)
mklink "%USERPROFILE%\.config\opencode\plugin\superpowers.js" "%USERPROFILE%\.config\opencode\superpowers\.opencode\plugin\superpowers.js"
:: 5. Create skills junction (works without special privileges)
mklink /J "%USERPROFILE%\.config\opencode\skills\superpowers" "%USERPROFILE%\.config\opencode\superpowers\skills"
:: 6. Restart OpenCode
```
#### PowerShell
Run as Administrator, or with Developer Mode enabled:
```powershell
# 1. Install Superpowers
git clone https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git "$env:USERPROFILE\.config\opencode\superpowers"
# 2. Create directories
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\.config\opencode\plugin"
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\.config\opencode\skills"
# 3. Remove existing links (safe for reinstalls)
Remove-Item "$env:USERPROFILE\.config\opencode\plugin\superpowers.js" -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Remove-Item "$env:USERPROFILE\.config\opencode\skills\superpowers" -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
# 4. Create plugin symlink (requires Developer Mode or Admin)
New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\.config\opencode\plugin\superpowers.js" -Target "$env:USERPROFILE\.config\opencode\superpowers\.opencode\plugin\superpowers.js"
# 5. Create skills junction (works without special privileges)
New-Item -ItemType Junction -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\.config\opencode\skills\superpowers" -Target "$env:USERPROFILE\.config\opencode\superpowers\skills"
# 6. Restart OpenCode
```
#### Git Bash
Note: Git Bash's native `ln` command copies files instead of creating symlinks. Use `cmd //c mklink` instead (the `//c` is Git Bash syntax for `/c`).
```bash
# 1. Install Superpowers
git clone https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git ~/.config/opencode/superpowers
# 2. Create directories
mkdir -p ~/.config/opencode/plugin ~/.config/opencode/skills
# 3. Remove existing links (safe for reinstalls)
rm -f ~/.config/opencode/plugin/superpowers.js 2>/dev/null
rm -rf ~/.config/opencode/skills/superpowers 2>/dev/null
# 4. Create plugin symlink (requires Developer Mode or Admin)
cmd //c "mklink \"$(cygpath -w ~/.config/opencode/plugin/superpowers.js)\" \"$(cygpath -w ~/.config/opencode/superpowers/.opencode/plugin/superpowers.js)\""
# 5. Create skills junction (works without special privileges)
cmd //c "mklink /J \"$(cygpath -w ~/.config/opencode/skills/superpowers)\" \"$(cygpath -w ~/.config/opencode/superpowers/skills)\""
# 6. Restart OpenCode
```
#### WSL Users
If running OpenCode inside WSL, use the [macOS / Linux](#macos--linux) instructions instead.
#### Verify Installation
**Command Prompt:**
```cmd
dir /AL "%USERPROFILE%\.config\opencode\plugin"
dir /AL "%USERPROFILE%\.config\opencode\skills"
```
**PowerShell:**
```powershell
Get-ChildItem "$env:USERPROFILE\.config\opencode\plugin" | Where-Object { $_.LinkType }
Get-ChildItem "$env:USERPROFILE\.config\opencode\skills" | Where-Object { $_.LinkType }
```
Look for `<SYMLINK>` or `<JUNCTION>` in the output.
#### Troubleshooting Windows
**"You do not have sufficient privilege" error:**
- Enable Developer Mode in Windows Settings, OR
- Right-click your terminal → "Run as Administrator"
**"Cannot create a file when that file already exists":**
- Run the removal commands (step 3) first, then retry
**Symlinks not working after git clone:**
- Run `git config --global core.symlinks true` and re-clone

## Skill Priority
## Skill Locations
Skills are resolved with this priority order:
OpenCode discovers skills from these locations:
1. **Project skills** (`.opencode/skills/`) - Highest priority
2. **Personal skills** (`~/.config/opencode/skills/`)
3. **Superpowers skills** (`~/.config/opencode/superpowers/skills/`)
You can force resolution to a specific level:
- `project:skill-name` - Force project skill
- `skill-name` - Search project → personal → superpowers
- `superpowers:skill-name` - Force superpowers skill
3. **Superpowers skills** (`~/.config/opencode/skills/superpowers/`) - via symlink
## Features
### Automatic Context Injection
The plugin automatically injects superpowers context via the chat.message hook on every session. No manual configuration needed.
The plugin automatically injects superpowers context via the `experimental.chat.system.transform` hook. This adds the "using-superpowers" skill content to the system prompt on every request.
### Message Insertion Pattern
### Native Skills Integration
When you load a skill with `use_skill`, it's inserted as a user message with `noReply: true`. This ensures skills persist throughout long conversations, even when OpenCode compacts context.
### Compaction Resilience
The plugin listens for `session.compacted` events and automatically re-injects the core superpowers bootstrap to maintain functionality after context compaction.
Superpowers uses OpenCode's native `skill` tool for skill discovery and loading. Skills are symlinked into `~/.config/opencode/skills/superpowers/` so they appear alongside your personal and project skills.
### Tool Mapping

Skills written for Claude Code are automatically adapted for OpenCode. The bootstrap provides mapping instructions:
- `TodoWrite``update_plan`
- `Task` with subagents → OpenCode's `@mention` system

- `Skill` tool → OpenCode's native `skill` tool
- File operations → Native OpenCode tools

**Location:** `~/.config/opencode/superpowers/.opencode/plugin/superpowers.js`
**Components:**
- Two custom tools: `use_skill`, `find_skills`
- chat.message hook for initial context injection
- event handler for session.compacted re-injection
- Uses shared `lib/skills-core.js` module (also used by Codex)
- `experimental.chat.system.transform` hook for bootstrap injection
- Reads and injects the "using-superpowers" skill content
### Shared Core Module
### Skills
**Location:** `~/.config/opencode/superpowers/lib/skills-core.js`
**Location:** `~/.config/opencode/skills/superpowers/` (symlink to `~/.config/opencode/superpowers/skills/`)
**Functions:**
- `extractFrontmatter()` - Parse skill metadata
- `stripFrontmatter()` - Remove metadata from content
- `findSkillsInDir()` - Recursive skill discovery
- `resolveSkillPath()` - Skill resolution with shadowing
- `checkForUpdates()` - Git update detection
This module is shared between OpenCode and Codex implementations for code reuse.
Skills are discovered by OpenCode's native skill system. Each skill has a `SKILL.md` file with YAML frontmatter.

### Skills not found
1. Verify skills directory: `ls ~/.config/opencode/superpowers/skills`
2. Use `find_skills` tool to see what's discovered
3. Check skill structure: each skill needs a `SKILL.md` file
1. Verify skills symlink: `ls -l ~/.config/opencode/skills/superpowers` (should point to superpowers/skills/)
2. Use OpenCode's `skill` tool to list available skills
3. Check skill structure: each skill needs a `SKILL.md` file with valid frontmatter
### Tools not working
### Windows: Module not found error
1. Verify plugin loaded: Check OpenCode logs for plugin loading message
2. Check Node.js version: The plugin requires Node.js for ES modules
3. Test plugin manually: `node --input-type=module -e "import('file://~/.config/opencode/plugin/superpowers.js').then(m => console.log(Object.keys(m)))"`
If you see `Cannot find module` errors on Windows:
- **Cause:** Git Bash `ln -sf` copies files instead of creating symlinks
- **Fix:** Use `mklink /J` directory junctions instead (see Windows installation steps)
### Context not injecting
### Bootstrap not appearing
1. Check if chat.message hook is working
2. Verify using-superpowers skill exists
3. Check OpenCode version (requires recent version with plugin support)
1. Verify using-superpowers skill exists: `ls ~/.config/opencode/superpowers/skills/using-superpowers/SKILL.md`

## Testing
The implementation includes an automated test suite at `tests/opencode/`:
Verify your installation:
```bash
# Run all tests
./tests/opencode/run-tests.sh --integration --verbose
# Check plugin loads
opencode run --print-logs "hello" 2>&1 | grep -i superpowers
# Run specific test
./tests/opencode/run-tests.sh --test test-tools.sh
# Check skills are discoverable
opencode run "use skill tool to list all skills" 2>&1 | grep -i superpowers
# Check bootstrap injection
opencode run "what superpowers do you have?"
```
Tests verify:
- Plugin loading
- Skills-core library functionality
- Tool execution (use_skill, find_skills)
- Skill priority resolution
- Proper isolation with temp HOME
The agent should mention having superpowers and be able to list skills from `superpowers/`.
