Workspace-aware
OpenCode reads the code that already exists before proposing changes, reducing guesswork and keeping edits grounded in the repository.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Build faster from the terminal, without leaving your codebase.
OpenCode is a pragmatic coding assistant designed for developers who prefer working directly in their workspace. It reads local context, makes focused edits, and stays aligned with the structure of the project at hand.
FEATURES
Designed for real engineering work
Patch-first editing
Changes stay small and reviewable. The assistant prefers the minimal correct fix rather than broad refactors that are hard to validate.
Verification built in
Testing and command-line checks are part of the workflow, helping catch regressions before changes are treated as done.
WORKFLOW
A direct loop from context to implementation
Inspect
Search the workspace, read the relevant files, and understand existing conventions before touching code.
Edit
Apply focused patches that fit the current codebase instead of introducing extra layers or unnecessary abstractions.
Verify
Run tests, builds, or targeted commands to confirm the change works end to end and behaves as intended.
PRINCIPLES
What the project optimizes for
Pragmatism over ceremony
The goal is to solve the task with the smallest reliable change, not to inflate the design with avoidable complexity.
Collaboration over autopilot
OpenCode keeps the user informed while working, treats existing project state carefully, and avoids destructive operations by default.
Local context matters
Project conventions, file structure, and current worktree state all shape the final implementation and verification path.
Simple surfaces win
Static delivery, minimal dependencies, and straightforward markup keep this page easy to host, cache, and maintain.
