A builder created an agent skill that files a user's saved Instagram reels into topic collections. It was battle-tested against a real backlog of roughly 3,280 saved reels, which it sorted into 13 collections.
A man's laptop crashed hard while he was working with the opencode agent. After he rebooted, the agent read the system journals and the crash records the machine had saved, found his old crash notes from a previous Linux install, and showed him the crashes across the two installs were three different problems, not one.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
He joined the AI’s cloud computer to his Tailscale network and gave it SSH access to a restricted user on his home Ubuntu box. After a series of proceed replies from him, the AI set the rest up itself. It can now run commands and browser work through his own hardware, and he uses it as the control point for his homelab: Docker, VMs, his NAS and Proxmox. The setup uses a dedicated non sudo user and SSH keys, with no open ports.
Joao Silva installed the Jev decision-model skill into his AI fleet without writing integration code: he pasted a plain-English instruction into a session and the agent copied the folder, found the right .env file, added the key and ran the checksum verification. The skill then passed his mandatory three-reviewer gate (security, QA, technical writing) before being committed.
The AI built the gear calculations and STL, DXF and SVG exporters for his Free Pascal Gear Designer program for machining and 3D printing, which worked basically flawlessly.
His games crashed on the loading screen a few hours into a session. He pointed the AI at the problem, it suggested turning on the ntsync kernel module, applied the change to his NixOS setup and rebuilt it, and he played all day without a single crash.
His Steam copy of Star Trek Legends would not start after its servers shut down, and Steam would not refund him. He gave GPT-6 Astra the game's files and logs; it found the online checks blocking startup, patched them out in two rounds, and packaged the fix as an installer. He has played missions and loaded his saved progress since.
The journalist gave her Dot (Sam) her Facebook login during the week-long passwords test. Meta's systems flagged the agent's activity as a bot, and her Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp accounts were temporarily locked.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
