What it does

Opencode Sync Sandbox is an agent skill from iHildy/opencode-synced. Sandbox-first workflow for implementing and end to end validating opencode-synced changes. Use when making any changes that effect the opencode-synced opencode plugin. Unless specifically directed not to.

Its SKILL.md is about 720 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/workflow.md`, `scripts/preflight.sh` and `scripts/run-e2e.sh`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering End-to-end testing. The repository describes itself as: Sync opencode global configurations between machines with a plugin. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Making any changes that effect the opencode-synced opencode plugin
  • Tasks that involve End-to-end testing

Example prompts

  • “/opencode-sync-sandbox”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Create a concrete plan before editing files.
  2. Spawn as many subagents as useful for parallelizable work (tests, refactors, docs, investigations).
  3. Implement the change in small, reviewable steps.
  4. Add or update unit/regression tests for the behavior you changed.
  5. Run local checks
  6. Run full isolated E2E before declaring success
  7. Report exact evidence: what changed, what tests ran, and an E2E artifact review.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0e13dc9. 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

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bun
    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Opencode Sync Sandbox loads about 718 tokens when it runs, and up to ~884 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 300 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~718
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~884

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Opencode Sync Sandbox

Follow this workflow whenever a task changes sync behavior, config handling, command behavior, or repo/GitHub integration.

Required Workflow

  1. Create a concrete plan before editing files.
  2. Spawn as many subagents as useful for parallelizable work (tests, refactors, docs, investigations).
  3. Implement the change in small, reviewable steps.
  4. Add or update unit/regression tests for the behavior you changed.
  5. Run local checks:
    • bun run check
    • bun test
    • bun run build
  6. Run full isolated E2E before declaring success:
    • ./.agents/skills/opencode-sync-sandbox/scripts/run-e2e.sh
    • Run E2E variants that directly exercise the features changed in this task (for example: sessions, secrets, or other changed sync flags/paths).
  7. Report exact evidence: what changed, what tests ran, and an E2E artifact review.

Do not skip E2E for changes that affect sync workflows, path resolution, repo operations, or command execution.

E2E Reporting Requirements

  • Do not report the E2E artifact path unless the user explicitly asks for it.
  • Read results/summary.json, command result payloads under results/, and relevant logs/*.log tails.
  • Summarize the executed flow, pass/fail status, key warnings/errors, and any suspicious signals.
  • If warnings exist, explain whether they are expected, tolerated, or need follow-up.
  • For feature-flagged runs, report the exact artifact-level behavior for each changed feature (including restart requirements when relevant).

Sandbox Rules

  • Keep all E2E state inside .memory/e2e/runs/<run-id>/.
  • Never rely on shared global opencode directories for E2E assertions.
  • Use the harness-created isolated HOME/XDG sandboxes for each instance.
  • Use ephemeral GitHub repos for test runs; keep failed repos only when debugging is needed.

Upstream Reference Rule

Before changing integration-sensitive behavior, inspect upstream opencode source in:

  • .memory/opencode-upstream/opencode

Use this clone to confirm command/server/tool behavior and avoid assumptions.

Helper Scripts

  • Preflight only:
    • ./.agents/skills/opencode-sync-sandbox/scripts/preflight.sh
  • Full two-instance GitHub E2E:
    • ./.agents/skills/opencode-sync-sandbox/scripts/run-e2e.sh
    • Enable secrets coverage: ./.agents/skills/opencode-sync-sandbox/scripts/run-e2e.sh --enable-secrets
    • Enable session database coverage (implies secrets): ./.agents/skills/opencode-sync-sandbox/scripts/run-e2e.sh --enable-sessions

For additional usage flags, run:

  • python3 scripts/e2e/github_two_instance.py --help
