What it does

Test Skill is an agent skill from joshuadavidthomas/opencode-agent-skills. A test skill to verify all plugin tools work correctly - useskill, readskillfile, runskillscript, findskills

Its SKILL.md is about 380 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts (for example `example-config.json` and `helper-docs.md`).

The repository describes itself as: An OpenCode plugin that provides tools for using agent skills. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/test-skill”

Workflow steps

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

  1. use_skill - You're reading this, so it works!
  2. read_skill_file - Load example-config.json or helper-docs.md
  3. run_skill_script - Execute greet or echo-args scripts
  4. find_skills - Should list this skill and others

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7be05ed. 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/, which the agent can run.

    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

Test Skill loads about 383 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 124 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~383

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.

A test skill to verify all plugin tools work correctly - use_skill, read_skill_file, run_skill_script, find_skills

Test Skill

This skill exists to verify the OpenCode Skills Plugin API works correctly.

Testing Checklist

Use this skill to verify:

  1. use_skill - You're reading this, so it works!
  2. read_skill_file - Load example-config.json or helper-docs.md
  3. run_skill_script - Execute greet or echo-args scripts
  4. find_skills - Should list this skill and others

Available Files

  • SKILL.md - This file (the main skill content)
  • helper-docs.md - Additional documentation to test read_skill_file
  • example-config.json - Sample config file to test non-markdown loading
  • scripts/greet - Simple script that prints a greeting
  • scripts/echo-args - Script that echoes back its arguments

Example Workflow

1. find_skills              # List available skills
2. use_skill test-skill     # Load this skill (you're here!)
3. read_skill_file test-skill helper-docs.md    # Load supporting docs
4. run_skill_script test-skill greet            # Run a script
5. run_skill_script test-skill echo-args --foo bar  # Run with args

Expected Outputs

When everything works:

  • use_skill returns "Skill 'test-skill' loaded." with scripts listed
  • read_skill_file returns "File 'X' from skill 'test-skill' loaded."
  • run_skill_script greet returns "Hello from test-skill!"
  • run_skill_script echo-args returns the arguments passed to it
