Stop invoking AI skills manually. Configure them to auto-load, turning one-off commands into persistent background behaviors.

Why I automated knowledge capture, and the technical setup that lets AI record ideas while I work.

How to configure skills to auto-load for specific AI agents, turning one-off invocations into persistent behaviors.

The Idea

Configure skills to auto-load for specific agents via oh-my-opencode.json.

Context

Wanted content-seed harvesting to be always active, not requiring manual /content-seed invocation each session.

Solution: Add skills array to agent config.

Implementation

// ~/.config/opencode/oh-my-opencode.json
{
  "agents": {
    "sisyphus": {
      "model": "...",
      "skills": ["content-seed"]  // ← auto-loads
    }
  }
}

Why It Matters

• Skills become persistent behaviors, not one-off invocations
• Enables “always-on” passive agents (harvesters, monitors, etc.)
• Configuration as behavior definition
