Models and MCP servers are discovered from the LiteLLM gateway at sync time
(/v1/models, and the aggregate /mcp/ endpoint). Skills have no gateway side to
query: LiteLLM's /v1/skills is a passthrough to Anthropic's Skills API, which
lists skills on an Anthropic account rather than serving skill files, and
/public/skill_hub is a marketplace catalog. So the repo is the source of truth
and the tree is fetched whole, from the repo tarball.
Deploy to ~/.config/mcp-sync/skills rather than ~/.config/opencode/skills so
the atomic replace can never delete a skill the user wrote by hand; opencode
picks the tree up via skills.paths, which expands {env:HOME} — verified — so
the shared config stays identical for every user.
Same throttle and non-fatal discipline as the config sync: a fetch that yields
no skills/ leaves the last-good tree in place instead of emptying it.

skills — shared opencode skills
Skills every covert-gpt user gets. mcp-config/sync.sh deploys this directory
to ~/.config/mcp-sync/skills on each box; the shared opencode.gateway.json
points opencode at it via skills.paths.
Unlike models and MCP servers — which are discovered from the LiteLLM gateway
at sync time — skills are plain files with nothing on the gateway to query, so
this repo is the source of truth. Add a skill here, push to main, and it
lands everywhere within the sync TTL (~1h, or immediately on a new shell).
LiteLLM's
/v1/skillsis not an alternative: it is a passthrough to Anthropic's Skills API (?beta=true), which lists skills on an Anthropic account. It does not serve skill files to a client, and opencode cannot read it./public/skill_hubis a marketplace catalog, also not a skill source.
Layout
One folder per skill, each with a SKILL.md:
skills/
my-skill/
SKILL.md # required
reference.md # optional supporting files
SKILL.md needs YAML frontmatter with name and description. name must be
1–64 chars, lowercase alphanumeric with single-hyphen separators, and match the
folder name. description is 1–1024 chars and is what the model reads to decide
whether to pull the skill in — write it to say when to use this, not just what
it is.
---
name: my-skill
description: Use when doing X. Covers Y and Z.
---
Body: the instructions the model follows once the skill is loaded.
Don't put per-user things here
Same rule as the MCP gateway: this tree is identical for every user. Skills
that depend on one person's credentials, kubeconfig, or local paths belong in
that user's own ~/.config/opencode/skills/, which sync never touches.
Verifying
opencode debug skill # lists every skill opencode can see, with its path
If a skill you added here is missing, check that the sync ran (ls ~/.config/mcp-sync/skills) and that the folder name matches the frontmatter
name.
