What it does
Model Researcher is an agent skill from IgorWarzocha/Opencode-Workflows. Add new/custom AI models to opencode.json. Use proactively for bleeding-edge releases, non-standard providers, self-hosted models, or custom endpoints. Examples: - user: "Add the new Claude 4.5" → websearch for API specs, add provider entry with baseUrl, verify model ID format - user: "Use my local Ollama instance" → configure custom provider with http://localhost:11434, set model ID format - user: "Configure this OpenAI-compatible proxy" → add provider with custom baseUrl, set apikey env var, verify…
Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/provider-patterns.md`).
It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering OpenAPI specifications and LLM inference and serving. It works with OpenAI and Ollama. The repository describes itself as: An ever evolving repository of Opencode workflow examples that might enhance your experience with it. I only left the stuff that actually works. YMMV.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve OpenAPI specifications
- Tasks that involve LLM inference and serving
Example prompts
- “Add the new Claude 4.5”
- “Use my local Ollama instance”
- “Configure this OpenAI-compatible proxy”
- “/model-researcher”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Clarify What the User Wants
- Research the Model
- Confirm Findings with User
- Apply Configuration
- Validate
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6444ec4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are jsonc).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
api.deepseek.comapi.z.aiapi.minimax.chatapi.moonshot.cn
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Model Researcher loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 165 tokens; SKILL.md has 627 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 627 words (~2,219 tokens).
“Add new or custom AI models to opencode.json with verified specifications.”
