Reference for using OpenCode CLI to handle complex coding tasks.

  • Research-Claw needs to delegate multi-file projects
  • SKILL.md covers Detect Installation, Install, Non-Interactive Usage (run) and Key Flags, plus 2 more sections
  • Calls opencode, curl and bash; reaches opencode.ai
  • Code generation

What it does

Opencode CLI is an agent skill from wentorai/Research-Claw. Reference for using OpenCode CLI to handle complex coding tasks. Use when Research-Claw needs to delegate multi-file projects, code generation, or iterative debugging to a multi-provider AI coding tool. Trigger words: opencode, coding CLI, delegate coding, multi-provider agent.

Its SKILL.md is about 730 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: In the AI era, why can't everyone be a Principal Investigator?

When your agent uses it

  • Research-Claw needs to delegate multi-file projects
  • Code generation
  • Iterative debugging to a multi-provider AI coding tool
  • Words: opencode

Example prompts

  • “/opencode-cli”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5015be7. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • opencode
    • curl
    • bash
    • npm
    • brew
    • pnpm

    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:

    • opencode.ai

    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 CLI loads about 734 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 137 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~734

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePipes a well-known installer script into a shellSKILL.md:25
    curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 137 words (~734 tokens).

“Terminal-based AI coding agent supporting multiple LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, local models). Features a TUI for interactive use and run command for automation.”
