OpenCode Best Practices

The most comprehensive collection of agents, skills, and tooling for OpenCode -- the open-source AI coding agent.

108 agents | 15 skills | 3 skill packs | 18 curated MCP servers | Live MCP registry search | Smart model detection

Inspired by VoltAgent/awesome-claude-code-subagents, fully adapted for OpenCode with permissions, skills, and markdown agent format.

Quickstart

npx @weisser-dev/awesome-opencode

One command. It analyzes your project, walks you through agent/skill/model/MCP setup interactively, generates everything, and launches OpenCode.

Skill Packs (design / process / behavior)

Reviewed third-party skill collections, adapted for local use and pinned to exact upstream commits. Source of truth, review notes and adaptation tooling: weisser-dev/agentic-skills.

Pack	Contents	In --pack all
design	Frontend design: design-workflow, web-design-guidelines (vendored Web Interface Guidelines), taste skills (design-taste-frontend, redesign-existing-projects, minimalist-ui, high-end-visual-design, industrial-brutalist-ui), image-to-code, design-md-reference (72 DESIGN.md references), playwright-cli (local screenshots); opt-in: gpt-taste, full-output-enforcement	yes
process	23 engineering lifecycle skills + commands /spec /plan /build /test /constraints /review /webperf /code-simplify /ship (from addyosmani/agent-skills, adapted)	yes
behavior	ponytail minimal-code mode (+ review/audit/debt/help)	no, opt-in

npx @weisser-dev/awesome-opencode packs --list               # packs and items
npx @weisser-dev/awesome-opencode packs --dry-run            # plan for the design pack
npx @weisser-dev/awesome-opencode packs                      # design pack -> ./.opencode/skills
npx @weisser-dev/awesome-opencode packs --pack all           # design + process (skills + commands)
npx @weisser-dev/awesome-opencode packs --pack behavior      # ponytail, only if you want it
npx @weisser-dev/awesome-opencode packs --pack all --global  # ~/.config/opencode/{skills,commands}
npx @weisser-dev/awesome-opencode design-pack                # alias for "packs --pack design"

The interactive menu offers the same under Install skill packs, and the full setup asks once at the end. Skills go to .opencode/skills/<name>/SKILL.md (or ~/.config/opencode/skills/), commands to .opencode/commands/<name>.md (or ~/.config/opencode/commands/), the locations OpenCode scans. Re-running is safe: unchanged items are skipped; items you edited are only replaced with --force (the old version is kept in .agentic-pack-backups/).

Notes: the ponytail figures (fewer lines, lower cost) are the upstream author's own benchmarks and the mode can reduce thoroughness, so it is never installed by default. playwright-cli needs @playwright/cli as a pinned dev dependency of your project (npm install --save-dev --save-exact @playwright/[email protected]); the skill never installs it.

Security model

• Bundled items (our own skills and the reviewed, adapted copies) are copied from the package; no network.
• The few items that are installed unmodified from upstream (two taste skills, the opt-in output skill, the DESIGN.md references, four ponytail skills) are downloaded only from raw.githubusercontent.com for the repository and commit pinned in templates/packs/sources.lock.json, and every file must match its sha256 pin before anything is written.
• Nothing is executed: no upstream scripts, hooks, plugins or MCP servers are installed.
• Installed skills and commands do not fetch anything, call external services or install tools at run time; pushes, deploys and migrations need an explicit instruction.
• No other sources are added without an explicit owner decision and a new review.

Smart Model Detection

The CLI recognizes models from any provider -- including custom Bedrock, Azure, or self-hosted endpoints:

abcd/eu.anthropic.claude-opus-4-6-v1     -> claude-opus-4   | Frontier | $$$$  | Coding: 95/100
abcd/eu.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-6      -> claude-sonnet-4 | Strong   | $$$   | Coding: 90/100
abcd/eu.anthropic.claude-haiku-4-5       -> claude-haiku-4  | Fast     | $$    | Coding: 75/100

Supports 26+ model fingerprints across Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek, Meta, and Mistral.

Agent-tier mapping assigns the right model quality per agent type:

• Frontier (Opus, GPT-5.2, o3): Code-writing agents, language specialists
• Strong (Sonnet, GPT-5.1): Code review, architecture, security
• Fast (Haiku, Flash, mini): Exploration, docs, context management

18 Curated MCP Servers + Live Registry Search

Category	Servers
Universal	context7, gh-grep, memory, fetch, sequential-thinking
Git	git
Monitoring	sentry, axiom
Database	postgres, sqlite, redis
Cloud	aws, kubernetes
Deployment	vercel
Testing	puppeteer
Collaboration	atlassian, linear
Design	figma

MCP servers are filtered by your selected languages -- Terraform projects see AWS/K8s, Node projects see Vercel/Figma.

Plus: live search of the official MCP Registry (registry.modelcontextprotocol.io) to find and install any registered server.

Inspiration & Credits

This project builds on the work of several open-source communities:

• VoltAgent/awesome-claude-code-subagents -- The agent collection (127+ subagents) served as the primary inspiration. All agents were adapted for OpenCode with permissions, skill integration, and markdown format.
• darrenhinde/OpenAgentsControl -- Agent configuration patterns and workflows.
• OpenCode Official Docs -- Agents, skills, MCP, permissions, and configuration reference.
• pricepertoken.com -- Model benchmark rankings and pricing data for the model intelligence feature.
• models.dev -- Open-source database of AI models (by anomalyco). Model fingerprints sourced from here.
• registry.modelcontextprotocol.io -- Official MCP server registry API for live search.
• Skill packs -- Leonxlnx/taste-skill, vercel-labs/web-interface-guidelines, VoltAgent/awesome-design-md, microsoft/playwright-cli, addyosmani/agent-skills, DietrichGebert/ponytail; license texts ship with each skill.
