What the file says

# Skill: Create an OpenCode Plugin

Scaffold a working OpenCode plugin for use in OpenWork.

## When to use

- User asks "create a plugin that does X"
- User asks "write a plugin" or "make a plugin"
- User wants to extend OpenWork/OpenCode with custom tools

## Plugin API

An OpenCode plugin is an **async factory function** that returns a **hooks object**.

### File location

Plugins can live in:
- **Project**: `.opencode/plugins/my-plugin.ts` (auto-discovered)
- **Global**: `~/.config/opencode/plugins/my-plugin.ts`
- **npm**: published as a package, referenced in `opencode.json` `plugin` array
- **URL**: `file:` or `https:` path in the `plugin` array

### Minimal shape

```typescript
import { z } from "zod";

export default async () => ({
  tool: {
    my_tool_name: {
      description: "What this tool does.",
      args: z.object({
        input: z.string().describe("The input parameter."),
      }).shape,   // NOTE: .shape, not the ZodObject itself
      async execute(args: { input: string }) {
        // Your logic here. Can use fetch(), fs, child_process, etc.
        return `Result: ${args.input}`;
      },
    },
  },
});
```
