SpotMe

OpenCode plugin (and portable SKILL.md) that introduces “gym mode” for agentic coding sessions. Instead of completing 100% of implementation, the agent scaffolds a logical unit, hands it off, watches the user implement it, then reviews and resumes. Motivation: research shows heavy AI delegation reduces critical thinking. SpotMe forces deliberate practice within the AI-assisted workflow.

​
How it works

Every N code-writing actions (configurable), the agent scaffolds the next unit with a # SPOTME: ... marker instead of completing it. The user implements the marked section in their editor, then calls /spotme:done to trigger review and resume.

Installation

  • OpenCode: add "plugin": ["spotme"] to opencode.json
  • Skill-only (CC and others): copy SKILL.md into harness skills directory — commands work, but counter-based auto-trigger won’t fire

​
Design philosophy

The agent as spotter: it sets up the lift, stands by while you push, catches you if you call for help. The work is yours. The counter-based trigger (--every N) is the core OpenCode-specific feature. In CC or other harnesses using the SKILL.md only, the user manually calls /spotme:rep to request exercises — same discipline, no automation.
