Installation cancelled

Error message

Installation cancelled

What it means

A warning logged when the interactive multi-select prompt inside `skill install` throws (typically because the user pressed Ctrl+C / Esc to abort the prompt). The command catches the exception, logs 'Installation cancelled', and returns early without installing anything.

Solutions

1. Re-run the command and complete the selection prompt to proceed with installation
2. Run in an interactive TTY-enabled terminal; prompts cannot run in non-interactive shells
3. Pass flags that skip the interactive prompt if available (e.g. --all or an explicit skill list)
4. No harm was done: nothing was installed, so simply retry when ready

Example fix

// before (non-interactive CI fails at prompt)
opencode skill install org/skills
// after
opencode skill install org/skills --all   # or run locally in an interactive terminal

if (!process.stdin.isTTY) {
  console.error('Interactive prompt requires a TTY; use explicit flags instead.');
  process.exit(1);
}

try {
  selectedSkills = await prompt(...);
} catch {
  console.warn('Installation cancelled');
  return;
}

When it happens

Trigger: User aborts the interactive skill-selection prompt during `opencode skill install` (Ctrl+C or Esc), causing the prompt library to throw, which the `catch` block converts into this warning.

Common situations: User changes their mind mid-prompt; non-interactive CI terminal where prompts cannot render and abort immediately; terminal without TTY support interrupting the prompt library.
