OpenCode 2.0 targets hotreloading beta launch

OpenCode creator Dax Raad announced that OpenCode 2.0 is targeting a public beta launch by the end of the week, featuring a major redesign for hotreloading that allows custom skills to be picked up immediately without invalidating caches. The update will also bundle MCP tools behind a single master tool to make them easier to change dynamically, and introduce configuration options like optional descriptions and autoinvoke metadata for granular control over tool execution.

// ANALYSIS

Hotreloading agent skills dynamically and wrapping MCP tools under a master tool solves critical latency and context footprint challenges.

* Cache-Friendly Customization: Allowing the agent to generate and hotreload skills immediately without invalidating cache significantly accelerates local AI iteration loops.

* Master MCP Tool: Consolidating MCP tools behind a unified interface prevents tool definition bloat and simplifies dynamic adjustments.

* Opt-in Autoinvocation: Support for optional descriptions and the `opencode/autoinvoke` metadata key helps developers avoid unwanted automatic tool invocations.
