Problem

With OpenCode 2, a $skill mentioned in a prompt was sometimes dropped before it reached OpenCode. The prompt went out with no skills, so the model got the literal $name and never saw the skill's content. T3 resolves mentions against a single GET /api/skill read for the thread's directory. OpenCode fills that list in the background: a directory it hasn't finished scanning lists no skills or only some, for roughly 100 ms to over a second. Any mention missing from that one read was discarded.

Reproduced on main with the real dev server against OpenCode 2.2.5:

• Reporter's steps (new worktree thread, $greet, immediate send): the skill is attached. T3's GET /api/model for the new directory runs first and returns only once the scan has ended.
• OpenCode restarted with the thread still open: the next turn, $greet again please, made one GET /api/skill against the cold directory. It then sent POST .../prompt {"text":"$greet again please"} with no skills. OpenCode's idle location eviction leaves a directory just as cold.

Change

A prompt whose mentions are all found on the first skill.list is sent exactly as before. If a mentioned name is missing, the adapter waits for OpenCode to finish scanning the directory, then reads the skills again:

• The wait is a call to OpenCode's model list for that directory (the existing readModels, 5 s timeout, logged on failure). OpenCode 2.2.5 answers it only once the scan has ended. This is observed behaviour, not a documented contract.
• The second read is merged into the first, so a failed reread never loses a skill already found.
• It keeps no state and doesn't depend on the event stream, which is down right after a restart.

A $word that isn't a skill, such as $HOME, now costs one model read and one skill read, about 50 ms in a directory OpenCode has already scanned.

Scope and approval

Fixes #29513

Verification

• apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/OpenCode2AdapterV2.test.ts, 88/88 pass after merging main:
  • sends a $skill that appears once OpenCode finishes scanning the directory: fails on main with expected { …(3) } to have deep property 'skills', passes here. The first read is empty, the barrier runs, and the reread returns greet.
  • keeps a $skill found on the first read when the reread after the scan comes back empty: guards the merge of the two reads. It fails without that merge.
• vp run check:changed passes: format, lint, knip, typecheck of 10 packages, tests.
• This is a server-only fix with nothing visible to capture. The runtime check used the real dev server and a real OpenCode 2.2.5 opencode serve, with a logging proxy between them recording T3's requests.

Before: main 0847a44, OpenCode restarted under the open thread

18:46:45.130 PATCH /api/session/ses_…
18:46:45.150 GET   /api/skill?location[directory]=<worktree>
18:46:45.276 POST  /api/session/ses_…/prompt {"text":"$greet again please","delivery":null,"resume":null}   ← no skills

After: f82e176, same sequence

19:16:19.318 GET   /api/skill?location[directory]=<worktree>
19:16:19.459 GET   /api/model?location[directory]=<worktree>     ← returns once the restarted server has scanned the directory
19:16:20.263 GET   /api/skill?location[directory]=<worktree>
19:16:20.292 POST  /api/session/ses_…/prompt {"text":"$greet then echo $HOME","skills":[{"id":"greet"}]}

A $word that isn't a skill, in a directory OpenCode has already scanned (9e02a6f, which takes the same path):

19:09:38.373 GET /api/skill → 19:09:38.392 GET /api/model → 19:09:38.406 GET /api/skill → 19:09:38.421 POST …/prompt {"text":"echo $HOME"}

OpenCode 2.2.5 behaviour this relies on (raw API probes)

• A directory's first GET /api/skill returns [] (3/3 runs). Later reads return partial sets (opencode,report → +browser → +project skills) over about 100–300 ms. During that window GET /api/command already returns all of its commands.
• The end of the scan is one skill.updated event carrying location.directory. Rereading a directory that is already scanned emits nothing.
• The barrier: in 5/5 runs on fresh directories with 200 and 2500 project skills (plus 66 global), a skill read sent right after GET /api/model returned listed every skill. GET /api/model took 0.4 s and 1.6 s, growing with the scan.

Not checked: OpenCode versions other than 2.2.5. The probe scripts and logging proxy used above aren't attached, because the upload tool wasn't available on the machine that ran them.

Takeover

Evidence-only round on @juliusmarminge's PR. No code changes; evidence and verification added below.

Evidence

Server-only: every row is a timestamped transcript of T3's requests to a real opencode serve 2.2.5 through a logging proxy (S = GET /api/skill, M = GET /api/model, P = POST …/prompt and its skills). Injected rows fail or hold one named request in the proxy. Viewport and theme do not apply.

Environment: fs-25 Linux 6.1.102 x86_64, Node 26.12.1, OpenCode 2.2.5 release binary (sha256 8d060e1d…a92050), model openai/gpt-5.4 via the hub, fresh databases (T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0), isolated HOME, synthetic fixture project. R16–R19 (native commands, /compact, steering, attachment fallthrough) don't reach the changed resolver and were checked in source only.

Raw OpenCode 2.2.5 probes (no T3), rerun here: scan (a) · skill.updated (b) · barrier (c)

• First read [] 6/6, partial → full in 187–304 ms. Differs from the description: GET /api/command returned 3 commands during the scan versus 5 after it (3/3 runs).
• One directory-scoped skill.updated per scan, 16/16; none across 48 warm rereads.
• Barrier: a skill read right after GET /api/model listed every skill 5/5 at 224 and 5/5 at 2524 IDs (21 synthetic globals). Model reads took 0.86–1.05 s and 1.33–1.43 s, versus 0.4 s and 1.6 s in the description, which came from another machine.

What else changed: unknown $words add one M and one S2 read without changing the payload (R06/R07); recovery rows now attach greet; R03 shows background catalog calls interleaving differently. Nothing outside the title's scope.

Verification log

• Proof audit: the fixture matrix (19 rows), then two passes over the captures. Every captured row is sufficient: R03 after an isolated recapture, the barrier mechanism reproduced, and the auditor rebuilt R04, R06 and one probe-(c) run and they matched. R05 stays unverified (conditional: the description claims no native partial-read pair; R04 + R08 + probe (a) cover it). The auditor's open items are the two description numbers that differ above.
• Tests: sends a $skill that appears once OpenCode finishes scanning the directory fails on the merge-base (log, prompt has no skills) and passes on the head (log). The reread-empty test's base failure is a replay-order mismatch, not a lost skill (before, after). OpenCode2AdapterV2.test.ts has 87/87 at f23933f; vp run check:changed passes, 88/88 across its 2 test files (log).
• CI: 41/41 checks green on f23933f; mergeable. Main is 9 commits ahead with a clean merge; its only change to these files is fix(opencode): Claude usage limits through OpenCode keep their reset time #29301 (usage-limit errors), unrelated.
• Unverified surfaces: none. Not checked: OpenCode 2.x versions other than 2.2.5.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at f23933f

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — The adapter retries missing explicitly mentioned skills after waiting for directory discovery, rather than silently omitting them. The additional reads are time-bounded and leave prompts without skill mentions unchanged.

No code changes detected at 0c37538. Prior analysis still applies.

Walkthrough

The OpenCode adapter now refreshes the skill inventory when a prompt mentions a skill absent from the initial listing. Tests cover skill listings that change during a directory scan and verify prompt inclusion and turn completion.

Changes: OpenCode skill mention lookup

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Skill lookup and prompt validation packages/provider-opencode/src/server/v2/adapter.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/OpenCode2AdapterV2.test.ts	The adapter extracts distinct skill names, lists skills with a timeout, and refreshes models before rereading the skill list when a mentioned name is missing. Tests cover a skill appearing after the initial listing and a skill present initially but absent on reread.

Suggested reviewers: t3dotgg, maria-rcks

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 0c375

This change makes OpenCode more likely to include a mentioned skill when a directory is still being scanned. On a slow scan, or one that outlasts the five-second bound, the prompt can still be sent without the skill. This is a bounded correctness gap in an edge case, and it should be resolved or explicitly accepted before merge.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: OpenCode no longer drops a $skill read before its directory scan ends. The adapter now waits on the model-list read and rereads skills when a mentioned skill is missing. The title is specific and follows the conventional commit form used in the repository template. It does not name the wait-and-reread mechanism, but it does not need to.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the problem, the change, scope and approval, and verification. The Problem section gives reproduction steps and an environment (OpenCode 2.2.5). The Change section explains the barrier and merge logic. The Scope section links issue #29513. The Verification section gives specific test names, results, and runtime traces. It uses the template's section headings. Two weaknesses remain. The Scope section is a single line and does not explain why no prior approval is needed beyond the issue link. The description also says 88/88 tests pass, while the takeover evidence reports 87/87 in one file at one commit. The author should reconcile those counts. The verification also marks R05 (2,500-skill cold partial read) as unverified, which the description should state clearly in the Verification section. The description also includes a long evidence table with many external links. Those links cannot be checked from the PR itself, so reviewers may need the key results inline. Overall the description is mostly complete and meets the template.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #29513 requires submit-time OpenCode skill resolution to preserve a mentioned skill when the first location-scoped read is empty or partial. The current adapter reads skills, uses the existing model-list read as a scan barrier when a mention is missing, rereads skills, and merges both results before sending the prompt. The reported tests cover delayed discovery and preservation after an empty reread. The issue's event-based approach is a suggestion, not a required implementation.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The current head also changes rollback history handling in packages/provider-opencode/src/server/v2/adapter.ts and adds rollback and fork message-list tests in apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/OpenCode2AdapterV2.test.ts. These changes concern rollback and session forking, not submit-time skill resolution for issue #29513.
