This guide is designed for AI agents and automated systems to install and verify the Systematic plugin for OpenCode. It uses clear, imperative language and explicit verification steps.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure the following environment requirements are met:

• OpenCode is installed and configured.
• Node.js 18+ or the Bun runtime is available in the path.

Installation Steps

Follow these steps to enable Systematic in your environment:

1. Add plugin to configuration Append @fro.bot/systematic@latest to the plugins array in ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json.

   {
     "plugins": ["@fro.bot/systematic@latest"]
   }

2. Restart OpenCode Restart the OpenCode session to trigger the config hook, which automatically discovers and registers all bundled assets.

3. Verify bootstrap loading Run the following command to confirm the plugin is active and teaching your assistant:

   /systematic:using-systematic

Verification

3. Workflow Verification

Run a workflow skill. It should initiate the planning phase.

/ce:plan
