Selecting a skill from the dropdown completely replaces the prompt instead of "appending" to it #18755
Closed as not planned
Description
Description
Currently, if I'm writing a prompt and I select a skill the prompt is completely overwritten. While using the skill as a slash command requires you to use that at the beginning of the prompt it would be useful to be able to select a skill by name and just have the name appended (as often that's enough for the model to load the skill).
Regardless I think replacing the prompt in a destructive way is definitely the wrong way to go.

Yeah this makes using skills impossible as slash commands, as many of my skills require context to be provided after the slash command and they work just find in other harnesses, they are just broken in opencode.
If you are going to support skills as slash commands they need to work as the user expects them to work and like they do in other harnesses. If you do not want to support them as slash commands them remove them from showing up and require the harness to detect what skill to use and use it automatically or be directed to use it in a prompt by calling it by name without a slash.
My company is requiring us to use opencode to access not claude models, however as a person coming from Claude Code and Codex it is really difficult to transition to opencode when it operates so differently from those. What makes it worse/more difficult is that it does not have any proper support for marketplaces, plugins, and even improper support for skills.
