[FEATURE]: possibility to show the full description of skills (and maybe other elements) in TUI #55352
I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
Hello,
Currently I am searching for skills in the tui I do Ctrl+p, search/select "skills" and I can see a list of my skills with the beginning of it's description.
I didn't found a way to show the full description of a skill so currently I do in another terminal:
opencode api skill.list | jq -r '.data[] | [.id, .description] | @tsv' | column -t -s$'\t' --table-wrap 2 | less
I think it would be nice to be able to do it in the tui.
Thanks for the suggestion, @tchernomax! You're asking for a way to read a skill's full description in the TUI. Right now the Skills dialog shows each description on a single line, and anything past the dialog width is cut off. You'd also like this for other lists. Maintainers will consider it.
Related issues:
[FEATURE]: Display descriptions as scrolling marquees #45112: the same problem of descriptions being cut off at the terminal width in agent and skill lists. It suggests a different fix: scrolling the description of the selected item like a marquee.
docs(ecosystem): add opencode-skills-tui #54475: adds the community plugin opencode-skills-tui to the ecosystem list. I haven't checked whether it shows full descriptions, but it may be worth a look.
In the meantime, your opencode api skill.list | jq ... command works fine as a stopgap.
