This skill implements a file-based planning system for complex, multi-step tasks by creating persistent markdown files to track goals, findings, and progress. It acts as an external working memory to maintain context and organization throughout long workflows or research projects.
# OpenCode IDE Support
## Overview
planning-with-files works with OpenCode as a personal or project skill.
## Installation
See [.opencode/INSTALL.md](../.opencode/INSTALL.md) for detailed installation instructions.
### Quick Install (Global)
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.config/opencode/skills
cd ~/.config/opencode/skills
git clone https://github.com/OthmanAdi/planning-with-files.git
```
### Quick Install (Project)
```bash
mkdir -p .opencode/skills
cd .opencode/skills
git clone https://github.com/OthmanAdi/planning-with-files.git
```
## Usage with Superpowers Plugin
If you have [obra/superpowers](https://github.com/obra/superpowers) OpenCode plugin:
```
Use the use_skill tool with skill_name: "planning-with-files"
```
## Usage without Superpowers
Manually read the skill file when starting complex tasks:
```bash
cat ~/.config/opencode/skills/planning-with-files/planning-with-files/SKILL.md
```
## oh-my-opencode Compatibility
oh-my-opencode has Claude Code compatibility for skills. To use planning-with-files with oh-my-opencode:
### Step 1: Install the skill
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.config/opencode/skills/planning-with-files
cp -r .opencode/skills/planning-with-files/* ~/.config/opencode/skills/planning-with-files/
```
### Step 2: Configure oh-my-opencode
Add the skill to your `~/.config/opencode/oh-my-opencode.json` (or `.opencode/oh-my-opencode.json` for project-level):
```json
{
"skills": {
"sources": [
{ "path": "~/.config/opencode/skills/planning-with-files", "recursive": false }
],
"enable": ["planning-with-files"]
},
"disabled_skills": []
}
```
### Step 3: Verify loading
Ask the agent: "Do you have access to the planning-with-files skill? Can you create task_plan.md?"
### Troubleshooting
If the agent forgets the planning rules:
1. **Check skill is loaded**: The skill should appear in oh-my-opencode's recognized skills
2. **Explicit invocation**: Tell the agent "Use the planning-with-files skill for this task"
3. **Check for conflicts**: If using superpowers plugin alongside oh-my-opencode, choose one method:
- Use oh-my-opencode's native skill loading (recommended)
- OR use superpowers' `use_skill` tool, but not both
## Known Limitations
### Session Catchup
The `session-catchup.py` script currently has limited support for OpenCode due to different session storage formats:
- **Claude Code**: Uses `.jsonl` files at `~/.claude/projects/`
- **OpenCode**: Uses `.json` files at `~/.local/share/opencode/storage/session/`
When you run `/clear` in OpenCode, session catchup will detect OpenCode and show a message. **Workaround**: Manually read `task_plan.md`, `progress.md`, and `findings.md` to catch up after clearing context.
Full OpenCode session parsing support is planned for a future release.
## Verification
**Global:**
```bash
ls -la ~/.config/opencode/skills/planning-with-files/planning-with-files/SKILL.md
```
**Project:**
```bash
ls -la .opencode/skills/planning-with-files/planning-with-files/SKILL.md
```
