Summary of Changes

Hello @malhashemi, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request marks a significant milestone by deprecating the opencode-skills plugin. The functionality it pioneered, enabling agents to leverage specialized skills, has now been fully integrated into the core OpenCode platform. This change streamlines the development experience by removing the need for an external plugin and provides a clear migration path for existing users to transition to the native implementation, while also promoting a new plugin for advanced multi-agent workflows.

Highlights

• Plugin Deprecation: The opencode-skills plugin is officially deprecated as its core functionality for agent skills has been integrated directly into the OpenCode platform, starting with v1.0.190.
• Native Skills Support: OpenCode now offers native support for agent skills, including a skill tool with pattern-based permissions and per-agent skill filtering, making the plugin redundant.
• User Migration Guide: A comprehensive migration guide is provided in the updated README, detailing steps to remove the plugin, move skill directories, and update configuration for native skill usage.
• New Plugin Promotion: The opencode-sessions plugin is highlighted as the next evolution, focusing on multi-agent collaboration and workflow orchestration, encouraging users to explore it.
• Documentation Preservation: The original documentation for the opencode-skills plugin has been preserved within a collapsed section in the README for historical reference.

Code Review

This pull request effectively deprecates the opencode-skills plugin, as its functionality has been integrated natively into OpenCode. The README.md has been completely overhauled to reflect this change. It now features a prominent deprecation notice, a clear migration guide for users, and preserves the old documentation for historical reference. The changes are well-structured and informative. I have one suggestion to improve the clarity of an installation instruction in the updated README.md.

[gemini-code-assist]

The installation instruction for opencode-sessions is currently presented as a comment within a bash code block, which could be confusing for users. To improve clarity and maintain consistency with other configuration examples in this document, it would be better to use a json code block.

Suggested change

	```bash
	# Install
	# Add to opencode.json: { "plugin": ["opencode-sessions"] }
	```
	// To install, add to opencode.json:
	{
	"plugin": ["opencode-sessions"]
	}
