xiaoshuai 15a1bbcee0 Version OpenCode skills and plugins

Repository sits at the OpenCode config root rather than inside skills/ or
plugins/. OpenCode scans exactly those two subdirectories, and a .git
directory inside either one is picked up as a plugin and fails to load:

  loading plugin id=.../plugins/.git entrypoint=.../plugins/.git/index
  failed to load plugin ... AggregateError: 2 errors building .../plugins/.git/index

The watcher.ignore config option does not help: it only suppresses filesystem
update events, not plugin discovery, and the "-" disable prefix only applies to
plugins listed in opencode.json(c), not auto-discovered ones.

.gitignore admits only skills/ and plugins/ (plus itself). Personal config
(opencode.jsonc, cli.json, service.json) and node_modules stay local.

skills/opencode-plugins  V2-only plugin authoring reference and 7 templates,

Publishing a plugin package

package.json here is strict JSON with no comments, because Node, bun, npm, and every bundler parse it with a strict parser. Copy it as-is and delete the entrypoints you do not implement. Guidance lives in this file rather than in comments inside the manifest.

Source: https://opencode.ai/v2/docs/build/plugins (Publish)

Entrypoints

{
  "name": "opencode-acme-plugin",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "type": "module",
  "exports": {
    ".": "./src/index.ts",
    "./rpc": "./src/rpc.ts",
    "./tui": "./src/tui.tsx"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@opencode/plugin": "latest"
  }
}

Export	Needed for	Documented on
`.`	a server plugin	https://opencode.ai/v2/docs/build/plugins
`./rpc`	publishing a shared RPC contract others can import without loading your implementation. The docs call this export optional.	https://opencode.ai/v2/docs/build/plugins
`./tui`	the TUI plugin. Exporting it makes the CLI load the plugin automatically when the package is listed in `opencode.json(c)`. Do not also add the package to `cli.json` — the CLI gets the active plugin list from the server.	https://opencode.ai/v2/docs/build/plugins/cli/ and https://opencode.ai/v2/docs/cli/plugins

Effect plugin

The documented manifest puts effect in peerDependencies, not dependencies:

{
  "dependencies": { "@opencode/plugin": "latest" },
  "peerDependencies": { "effect": ">=4.0.0-rc.112" }
}

Do not bundle effect. OpenCode provides effect, effect/*, and @opencode/plugin at runtime and redirects imports — including from your node_modules — to the host instance, so fibers, loggers, and Schema parsers share one runtime copy. If you bundle, mark effect and effect/* external.

The same Effect page also says to install effect and @opencode/plugin as peer/dev dependencies for local type-checking:

bun add --peer @opencode/plugin effect

Plugins always execute against the host release's effect. Using APIs or module paths from another effect major (such as Effect 3) is not supported. Only public effect subpaths are provided; importing an internal module fails to load with an error naming the path. The compiled OpenCode binary omits the Scalar/Swagger UI assets used by Effect's HTTP API doc pages, so serving those from a plugin shows a notice.

TUI plugin rendering JSX

{
  "peerDependencies": {
    "@opentui/core": ">=0.5.8",
    "@opentui/solid": ">=0.5.8",
    "solid-js": ">=1.9.0"
  }
}

From https://opencode.ai/v2/docs/build/plugins/cli/. Confirm the version floors against that page before publishing; they are the kind of value that goes stale.

Testing before publishing

Test the installed package, not only a workspace-linked copy:

bun pm pack
bun add ./opencode-acme-plugin-1.0.0.tgz

Use versions compatible with the OpenCode release you target — check with opencode --version. If a release changes the plugin API, publish a compatible update rather than leaving an old contract in place.
