Teaching Opencode My Coding Standards | Opencode | AI Skills

In this video, I explore one of the most powerful features in Opencode — custom skills. Instead of repeatedly explaining the same coding standards, workflows, debugging patterns, and implementation quirks to an AI agent, we can actually turn those workflows into reusable skills that improve consistency across projects. To demonstrate this, I take an existing Laravel employee management + chat application and implement a complete Role Based Access Control (RBAC) system using Opencode. Along the way, we: Build permission-based access control Debug middleware and routing issues Fix AI-generated mistakes Convert the entire workflow into a reusable Opencode skill Make the AI accountable for unintended changes Create a custom AI development workflow that can be reused across future projects This video is less about “one-shot AI coding” and more about: building reusable engineering systems, improving AI reliability, and teaching your tools how you like to code. If you use AI for development, custom skills completely change the game.
