One other thing that would be neat to make more visible: what kind of prompts and tools are at the heart of this agent?
I found a bunch of tools here. Haven't found an overarching prompt yet. https://github.com/sst/opencode/tree/dev/packages/opencode/s...
but we're going to make all this very configurable next week
I prefer the command line tools to IDE integration, even though I don't feel like the contextual options are great. In other words, I don't always feel that I can see the changes fully. I like Claude Code's option to expand the result using ctrl-r, and I like the diffs it provides. But, it still feels like there is a way to get better than what I see inside Zed and what I see inside Claude and Aider.
Maybe an editor that can be controlled and modified on the fly using natural language?
It would likely quickly devolve into typical editor config bikeshedding, only AI powered? At least for me, maybe someone smarter could streamline it enough to be useful though!
But, do it for emacs, ok? </joke>
Actually, I *do* prefer emacs.
bind-key C-g display-popup -E -d "#{pane_current_path}" -xC -yC -w 80% -h 75% "lazygit"
not only does it allow you to see the diffs, but you can directly discard changes you don't want, stage, commit, etc.
other than the focus on tui design, does this have any advantage over Claude Code, Aider, Gemini using the same model?
we're very focused on UX and less so on LLM performance. we use all the same system prompts/config as claude code
that said people do observe better performance because of out of the box LSP support - edit tools return errors and the LLM immediately fixes them
we're a little over a month into development and have a lot on our roadmap
the cli is client/server model - the TUI is our initial focus but the goal is to build alternative frontends, mobile, web, desktop, etc
we think of our task as building a very good code review tool - you'll see more of that side in the following weeks
can answer any questions here
It was the first time I felt like I could write up a large prompt, walk away from my laptop, and come back to a lot of work having been done. I've been super happy with the experience so far.

ETA: The above link is at the bottom of the original submission's README. (https://github.com/sst/opencode) I posted it without context, and I have no opinion on the matter. Please read theli0nheart's comment below for an X rebuttal.

I’m the founder and CEO of Charm. There are claims circulating about OpenCode which are untrue, and I want to clarify what actually happened.
In April, Kujtim Hoxha built a project called TermAI—an agentic coding tool built on top of Charm’s open-source stack: Bubble Tea, Lip Gloss, Bubbles, and Glamour.
Two developers approached him offering UX help and promotion, and suggested renaming the project to OpenCode. One of them bought a domain and pointed it at the repo.
At the time, they explicitly assured Kujtim that the project and repo belonged entirely to him, and that he was free to walk away at any point.
We loved what Kujtim built and offered him a full-time role at Charm so he could continue developing the project with funding, infrastructure, and support. The others were informed and declined to match the offer.
I also mentioned that if the project moved to Charm, a rename might follow. No agreement was made.
Shortly after, they forked the repo, moved it into their company’s GitHub org, retained the OpenCode name, took over the AUR package, and redirected the domain they owned.
To clarify specific claims being circulated:
- No commit history was altered
- We re-registered AUR packages for continuity
- Comments were only removed if misleading or promotional
- The project is maintained transparently by its original creator
The original project, created by Kujtim, remains open source and active—with the full support of the team at Charm.
That’s the story. We’ll have more to share soon.

Okay I feel old now.

Seriously, though: Charm creates CLI tools, not coding agents: https://charm.sh/ https://github.com/orgs/charmbracelet/repositories
Also, https://github.com/kujtimiihoxha 's recent commits are in https://github.com/opencode-ai/opencode .
But what does https://sst.dev/ (org behind https://github.com/sst/opencode) have to do with either charm or opencode?? Like Charm, it has nothing to do with coding agents.
Not for me.
