[FEATURE]: Collapse skill body in user message #33980
Description
Feature hasn't been suggested before.
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
Currently, OpenCode appends the full skill/command body to the user message. This takes up a large space in the UI and makes it difficult to navigate in the session history.
It would be great if we could have a dedicated UI component for skills/commands used. Would be better if they could be toggled to collapse/show just like generic tool outputs now.
Example from the Codex app:

[-][FEATURE]: Folding command or skill body in user message[/-][+][FEATURE]: Hiding skill body in user message[/+]iWorld-y commentedon Jul 27, 2026
I’m running into the same issue.
The Codex (currently ChatGPT) app provides a much cleaner experience here: invoking a skill only adds a lightweight skill reference or metadata entry to the visible conversation, while the agent can still access the full skill instructions internally.
In OpenCode, I currently avoid invoking skills explicitly. Instead, I mention the skill name in a normal message and let the agent load it automatically. This keeps the conversation readable, but it is an inconvenient workaround.
Ideally, explicit skill invocation should:
SKILL.mdcontent available to the agent;In other words, the visible conversation representation should be separated from the context supplied to the agent.

Unfortunately, they don't usually merge UI/UX PRs, so the best thing to do would be to mention a maintainer, @rekram1-node.
