Development Coding Agent#

Specialized coding agent skill optimized for software development tasks using OpenCode.

Quick Start#

Basic Usage#

bash

# Simple task in your project
bash pty:true workdir:~/your-project command:"opencode run 'Add feature or fix bug'"

# Background task for complex work
bash pty:true workdir:~/your-project background:true command:"opencode run 'Build complete feature'"

Common Development Patterns#

Bug Fixing

bash

bash pty:true workdir:~/project command:"opencode run 'Fix the [specific issue] in [file/component]'"

Feature Development

bash

bash pty:true workdir:~/project command:"opencode run 'Implement [feature name] with [requirements]'"

Code Refactoring

bash

bash pty:true workdir:~/project background:true command:"opencode run 'Refactor [module] to improve [performance/readability/maintainability]'"

Testing

bash

bash pty:true workdir:~/project command:"opencode run 'Add unit tests for [function/module] using [testing framework]'"

Best Practices#

1. Always specify the work directory - keeps context focused
2. Use descriptive prompts - include file names, expected behavior, and constraints
3. Monitor background tasks - use process action:log to track progress
4. Git required - ensure your project is a git repository (OpenCode requirement)

Examples#

Create React Component#

bash

bash pty:true workdir:~/my-app command:"opencode run 'Create a reusable Button component with variants (primary, secondary, danger), loading state, and TypeScript interface'"

API Development#

bash

bash pty:true workdir:~/backend command:"opencode run 'Add user registration endpoint with email validation, password hashing, and JWT token generation'"

Database Migration#

bash

bash pty:true workdir:~/project command:"opencode run 'Create database migration to add created_at and updated_at timestamps to all existing tables'"

Requirements#

• OpenCode CLI installed ( npm install -g opencode)
• Git repository for target project
• PTY support enabled (automatic with pty:true)
