Refresh global, external, and HTTP skill sources without restart #37426
Description
Parent
Related to #8751.
What to build
Extend V2 skill-content refresh beyond skill files inside watched git project Locations.
Project .opencode/skills content currently invalidates through the Location filesystem watcher. Global compatibility roots, explicitly configured external directories, non-git Locations, and already cached HTTP catalogs do not have a continuous invalidation path. Replaying an unchanged source registration also does not clear its cached content.
Acceptance criteria
- Global OpenCode,
.claude, and.agentsskill edits refresh in loaded Locations. - Explicit external skill directories refresh without requiring an unrelated config edit or restart.
- HTTP catalogs have a defined refresh trigger and observe a changed version while OpenCode remains running.
- Skill removal clears model-facing guidance and slash visibility on the next safe boundary.
- Tests document and cover project, global, external, non-git, and HTTP source behavior.
Blocked by
None - can start immediately.

Hi! I'd like to work on this issue if it's available.
I'll investigate the current skill refresh flow and submit a PR.

Partly done: #40954 added watchers for directory skill sources, including global and external folders outside the project and symlink targets, so changes there are picked up without a restart. HTTP skill catalogs are still only fetched on load. Closing this tracker. A focused issue for refreshing HTTP catalogs is easier to pick up if it's still needed.
