opencode-design-agents

Create and refine OpenCode agents via guided Q&A. Use when creating an agent file, improving an existing agent, configuring AGENTS.md frontmatter, setting subagent_type, defining allowed-tools, restricting permissions, designing agent routing, writing a system prompt, configuring mode: subagent, setting a permission block, or working with the Task tool delegation pattern. Examples: 'Create an agent for code reviews', 'My agent ignores context', 'Add a database expert subagent', 'Make my agent faster', 'Agent triggers on wrong requests'.

Quality

Content

75%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-structured, token-efficient overview: concrete quick-start examples, decision tables, justified anti-patterns, and clean two-file progressive disclosure. The main defects are mild duplication between Quick Start and Anti-Patterns, troubleshooting detail deferred entirely to references, and three dead eval-scenario links that break navigation.

Suggestions

Remove or fix the Eval Scenarios section: the three evals/scenario-*/task.md links point to files not present in the bundle, so either ship the eval files or drop the section from SKILL.md.

De-duplicate the permission example: the Quick Start permission block repeats the GOOD example in Anti-Patterns — keep one canonical example and cross-reference it.

Add a one-line pointer under 'Phase 1.5 — Research' (e.g., what source or doc to check) so the workflow's only vague step is actionable without opening the reference file.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is lean and information-dense — a decision table ('Scope... Controls when the agent triggers'), WHY-annotated anti-patterns, and copy-paste blocks with no explanation of concepts Claude already knows. Minor trimming is possible: the permission YAML in Quick Start substantially duplicates the GOOD example in Anti-Patterns, which keeps it just below the anchor-5 'every token earns its place' bar. It is clearly above anchor 3, which requires unnecessary explanation.

4 / 5

Actionability

Guidance is mostly executable: a complete copy-paste agent file, a concrete permission block, a BAD/GOOD permission and prompt comparison, and a verification command ('Run `bun run opencode` and type `/agents`'). Minor gaps keep it from anchor 5: troubleshooting flows for stated triggers like 'My agent ignores context' are only reachable via the reference file, and 'Phase 1.5 — Research' gives no inline pointer to how/where to research.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The Creation Workflow gives a clear 4-phase sequence with an explicit iteration checkpoint ('Show draft, iterate until user approves') and an inline validation step ('Run `bun run opencode` and type `/agents` to confirm the new agent appears'). It falls short of anchor 5 because the phases themselves are one-line summaries — detailed sub-steps and error-recovery guidance are deferred to references/agent-patterns.md rather than the checkpoints being fully explicit inline; nothing here is destructive or batch, so no cap applies.

4 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Good structure: an ~85-line overview with clearly labeled sections, two one-level-deep references that exist in the bundle and are well signaled with per-file descriptions ('references/agent-patterns.md — Creation phases, patterns...', 'references/opencode-config.md — Full frontmatter schema...'). The gap from anchor 5 is the Eval Scenarios section, whose three links (evals/scenario-0..2/task.md) point to files that do not exist in the bundle — broken navigation links, though the core reference structure is solid, placing this above anchor 3.

Description

91%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description: it states concrete capabilities, provides an explicit 'Use when...' clause with technical and natural trigger terms, and adds five example user requests. Its only weaknesses are that capability actions are somewhat front-loaded into trigger phrasing and a couple of triggers ('writing a system prompt') are broad enough to invite overlap with adjacent skills.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Opens with concrete actions ('Create and refine OpenCode agents via guided Q&A') and the trigger clauses enumerate concrete tasks ('configuring AGENTS.md frontmatter', 'setting subagent_type', 'defining allowed-tools', 'restricting permissions', 'writing a system prompt'). It lists several specific capabilities with only minor gaps (e.g., troubleshooting/refinement actions are implied via examples rather than stated), so it sits above anchor 3 ('1-2 concrete actions, not comprehensive') but below anchor 5, which would require a fuller list of stated capability actions rather than mostly trigger-side task phrasing.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers 'what' ('Create and refine OpenCode agents via guided Q&A') and 'when' via a full 'Use when...' clause with concrete trigger conditions plus example request phrasings. This directly matches the anchor-5 example structure (capability statement + 'Use when...' + concrete triggers); it is clearly above anchor 4, where the 'when' would be less explicit or lack concrete phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Comprehensive natural-language coverage including synonyms, technical config keys users would quote ('AGENTS.md frontmatter', 'subagent_type', 'allowed-tools', 'mode: subagent', 'permission block', 'Task tool'), and five example user utterances ('Create an agent for code reviews', 'My agent ignores context', 'Add a database expert subagent', 'Make my agent faster', 'Agent triggers on wrong requests'). This matches the anchor-5 pattern of covering natural terms, synonyms, and exact phrasings; no common variations are obviously missing.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The niche is clear ('OpenCode agents', 'AGENTS.md frontmatter', 'Task tool delegation pattern') with distinct triggers, but a few phrases like 'writing a system prompt' and 'Make my agent faster' are generic enough to overlap with general prompt-engineering or agent-tuning skills. That is minor overlap risk with closely related skills (anchor 4) rather than the minimal-conflict, fully distinct profile of anchor 5.
