Detect OpenCode v1 installs and triage migration to v2 — version probe, V1 config/plugin/agent-shape detection, native-v2 field mapping, then delegate execution to opencode-v2-migration-subagent. Triggers: migrate opencode to v2, v1 to v2, opencode v2 upgrade, still on v1, tui.json cleanup, v1 config check.

OpenCode v1 → v2 Migration
Frontend for migrating an end user's OpenCode v1 setup to v2: detect what is
V1, decide the migration scope, then delegate execution toopencode-v2-migration-subagent (which carries the full field-mapping tables).
Source of truth: https://opencode.ai/v2/docs/migrate-v1/ — re-fetch
before acting; v2 is evolving. Never use opencode.ai/docs/... (V1 docs).
Phase 1 — Detection
Version + migration-state probes (v2 HTTP API)
opencode --version # v1.x = V1 client; v2.x = V2
opencode service status # v2-only command; failing ⇒ no v2 service
opencode api get /api/status # v2 server status (v1 clients lack `api`)
opencode api get /api/experimental/migration/v1 # v2's built-in V1-migration status report/api/experimental/migration/v1 is the authoritative in-product probe — it
reports what the v2 server still detects as V1-shaped. Full API surface:
https://opencode.ai/v2/docs/api/ (OpenAPI at /openapi.json on any running
server); TypeScript client: @opencode/client.
V1 artifact signals
Check each; every hit is a migration item:
| Signal | Where | v2 destination |
|---|---|---|
tui.json(c) |
~/.config/opencode/, project |
~/.config/opencode/cli.json (auto-migrated on first v2 TUI start; verify) |
permission map, legacy top-level tools (deprecated) |
any config JSON | ordered permissions array (bash→shell, task→subagent, write/patch→edit) |
agent / provider / command / plugin / reference (singular) |
config JSON | agents / providers / commands / plugins / references |
prompt, disable, variant, top-level temperature |
agent entries + .md frontmatter |
system, disabled, model#variant, request.body.temperature (auto-translated — optional) |
mcp direct server map, enabled |
config JSON | mcp.servers + inverse disabled. Two stub traps: (1) V1 enable-only stubs ({"<name>": {"enabled": true}}, no type) are silently omitted by v2; (2) project-level "enable the global one" overrides must be full entries — v2 replaces mcp.servers.<name> atomically, so a bare {"disabled": false} stub yields an inert server. Copy the transport (type/command/env) from the global entry and set disabled: false |
V1 TUI plugin in cli.json (tui: async-function export) |
~/.config/opencode/cli.json |
v2 CLI plugins need Plugin.define({id, setup}) via @opencode/plugin/tui (or a ./tui package export) — see the CLI plugin guide. Remove V1-only entries (watch-list) until upstream ports |
agent/, mode/, command/, skill/, plugin/ dirs |
.opencode/ |
agents/, agents/ + mode: primary, commands/, skills/, plugins/ (old dirs still discovered) |
| V1 plugin code | plugins array entries |
does not run on v2 — port per the plugin migration guide or drop |
autoupdate, small_model, enabled_providers |
config JSON | update, agents.title.model, internal policies (normalized silently) |
lsp config expecting diagnostics |
config JSON | v2 accepts but never runs language servers — use lint/typecheck commands |
instructions field |
config JSON | accepted but not loaded — move content to AGENTS.md |
Global config named config.json |
~/.config/opencode/ |
rename to opencode.json — v2 only reads opencode.json(c) |
/global/health healthchecks |
scripts, compose files | /api/health |
| Scripts/integrations calling the V1 server API (curl, SDK) | scripts, CI, apps | v2 HTTP API (/api/*, breaking) — port to opencode api, @opencode/client, or the new endpoints; see the API reference |
Also probe
~/.local/share/opencode/log/opencode.logforfailed to load plugin
(every V1-API plugin logs this on v2) — classify each: native-v2 replacement
exists / port locally / drop.- Ancestor configs (
~/opencode.jsonetc.) — v2 merges everyopencode.json(c)from cwd up to/; forgotten layers cause "phantom" MCP
entries. Surface them in the report.
Phase 2 — Triage
| Finding | Action |
|---|---|
| Already v2, all-v2 shapes | Report clean; optionally convert remaining V1-syntax fields to native v2 (behavior-preserving; coexistence is supported) |
| v2 client, V1-shaped files | In-place migration of config + agent/command frontmatter (mostly optional — v2 auto-translates); plugins must be ported or dropped; run the verification gate |
| v1 client | Install v2 (V2 installer replaces the V1 binary), then migrate files, then verify |
Delegation
Delegate execution to opencode-v2-migration-subagent with a detection
payload (extract-then-delegate — do not paste this skill into the prompt):
version: <v1.x|v2.x>
findings: <the Phase 1 signal table, filled in>
plugins_failed: <names from the log probe, with disposition candidates>
user_intent: <convert-to-native-v2 | keep-v1-syntax | full-migrate>
constraints: <shared/global config? Docker mode? CI?>The subagent owns the mapping tables, plugin triage rubric, and the
Return Contract report.
Verification gate (post-migration, non-negotiable)
opencode service restart— the running service caches config; stale
services lie.opencode mcp list— every expected server connected or intentionally
disabled; zero unexplained failures.- Log grep for
failed to load plugin— remaining entries must each have a
documented keep/drop rationale (exact-version pins do NOT auto-upgrade —
a pinned V1 plugin stays broken even after its author ships v2). - Smoke one agent prompt + one MCP tool call.
