Skills not hot-reloaded: must restart opencode after creating a new skill #34408
After creating a new skill file (in ~/.config/opencode/skills/\ or project-level .opencode/skills/), the new skill does not appear in the available skills list until opencode is fully restarted. This makes the skill development workflow cumbersome — every edit requires a restart to test.
Steps to reproduce
Create a new skill directory and SKILL.md under ~/.config/opencode/skills/my-skill/\
The skill is not detected by the running opencode instance
Restart opencode
The skill now appears in /skill\ and is usable
Expected behavior
opencode should watch the skills directories for file changes and hot-reload newly added or modified skills without requiring a restart. Alternatively, provide a /skill reload\ command to trigger a manual rescan.
Environment
Mode: opencode CLI
Platform: Windows 11
Related
Skills are loaded at startup; a file watcher or a reload command would greatly improve the developer experience.
