Agents

OpenCode includes two built-in agents you can switch between with the Tab key.

• build - Default, full-access agent for development work
• plan - Read-only agent for analysis and code exploration
  • Denies file edits by default
  • Asks permission before running bash commands
  • Ideal for exploring unfamiliar codebases or planning changes

Also included is a general subagent for complex searches and multistep tasks. This is used internally and can be invoked using @general in messages.

FAQ

How is this different from Claude Code?

It's very similar to Claude Code in terms of capability. Here are the key differences:

• 100% open source
• Not coupled to any provider. Although we recommend the models we provide through OpenCode Zen, OpenCode can be used with Claude, OpenAI, Google, or even local models. As models evolve, the gaps between them will close and pricing will drop, so being provider-agnostic is important.
• Out-of-the-box LSP support
• A focus on TUI. OpenCode is built by neovim users and the creators of terminal.shop; we are going to push the limits of what's possible in the terminal.
• A client/server architecture. This, for example, can allow OpenCode to run on your computer while you drive it remotely from a mobile app, meaning that the TUI frontend is just one of the possible clients.
