Description

OpenCode Desktop currently lacks a user-friendly interface for installing and managing Agent Skills (like n8n-skills, etc.). This feature would greatly improve the user experience by allowing users to:

  1. Browse available Agent Skills through a UI
  2. Install/uninstall skills with one click
  3. View skill descriptions, versions, and compatibility
  4. Manage skill dependencies and configurations
  5. Enable/disable skills without command-line knowledge

The current workflow requires manual installation via CLI or editing configuration files, which is not accessible to all users. A built-in UI would make OpenCode Desktop more approachable and increase adoption.

This feature should integrate with the existing skill system and provide:

  • A skills marketplace or catalog view
  • One-click installation from the UI
  • Progress indicators and success/failure notifications
  • Skill management dashboard
  • Automatic dependency resolution

I believe this enhancement would significantly improve the desktop experience and align with OpenCode's goal of being user-friendly.

Verification

I have verified that this issue exists by:

  • Attempting to install n8n-skills manually
  • Checking the current lack of UI for skill management
  • Confirming the CLI-only workflow is not user-friendly for non-technical users

How to reproduce

  1. Open OpenCode Desktop
  2. Try to install a new Agent Skill
  3. Notice there is no UI option available
  4. Attempt manual installation via CLI or config files
  5. Experience the current friction points
