- Helping with repository setup and initialization
- Assisting with README files and documentation
- Supporting .gitignore configurations
2. Merge Request Assistance
- Creating merge request descriptions
- Suggesting improvements based on review comments
- Helping address feedback from code reviews
- Generating summaries of changes for merge requests
3. Issue Management
- Helping create detailed issue reports
- Suggesting fixes based on issue descriptions
- Assisting with reproducing and understanding bugs
- Creating reproduction steps for reported issues
4. CI/CD Pipeline Support
- Understanding .gitlab-ci.yml configurations
- Helping create and optimize CI/CD pipelines
- Assisting with debugging pipeline failures
- Suggesting improvements to build and test stages
5. Collaboration Features
- Understanding team coding conventions
- Helping maintain consistency across contributions
- Assisting with code review processes
- Supporting documentation updates alongside code changes
Common GitLab Tasks with OpenCode
Creating a Merge Request
I've implemented a new feature for user authentication. Help me create a merge request summary that explains:
- What the feature does
- How it works
- Any breaking changes
- Testing instructions
Addressing Review Comments
Based on these review comments:
1. Need to add error handling to the API calls
2. Should extract this logic into a helper function
3. Missing unit tests for edge cases
Please update the code in @src/services/auth</think>Based on these review comments:
1. Need to add error handling to the API calls

3. Missing unit tests for edge cases
Please update the code in @src/services/auth.js accordingly.
Working with Issues
Looking at issue #123: "Users unable to reset password when email contains special characters"
Help me understand the problem and suggest a fix.
Working with CI/CD Pipelines
This GitLab CI pipeline is failing in the test stage:
- Error: "Cannot find module 'jest'"
- The pipeline runs npm test but jest isn't installed in the test job
Help me fix the .gitlab-ci.yml to properly install dependencies before running tests.
Understanding Repository Structure
Explain how this GitLab repository is organized:
- Where is the main application code?
- How are tests structured?
- What CI/CD pipelines are configured?
- How are dependencies managed?
GitLab Best Practices with OpenCode
When using OpenCode with GitLab:
- Leverage Context: Use @ to reference specific files or sections when asking for help
- Be Specific: Clearly describe what you need help with regarding GitLab workflows
- Follow Conventions: Ask OpenCode to follow your team's GitLab practices
- Review Thoroughly: Always review OpenCode's suggestions before creating merge requests or commits
- Combine with Git: Use OpenCode for coding assistance, but manage Git operations yourself or with Git-specific tools
- CI/CD Awareness: Consider pipeline implications when making changes
