Overview

OpenCode is an open-source AI coding agent that provides a terminal UI and a desktop app (beta). It includes built-in agents for development and planning, plus a general subagent for complex tasks.

• General subagent for complex searches and multistep tasks
• Terminal UI
• Desktop app (beta) for macOS, Windows, and Linux
• Multiple installation methods including curl, npm, brew, scoop, choco, pacman, mise, and nix

Use Cases

• Development work with the build agent
• Exploring unfamiliar codebases with the plan agent
• Planning changes with the plan agent
• Complex searches and multistep tasks with the general subagent
