One Tip a Week: opencode

This week’s tip of the week is opencode, an AI coding agent, built for the terminal from the folks over at SST. It’s like Claude Code, but open sourced and not locked in to a specific vendor.

/help /editor /models /init /compact /sessions v0. 1.121 show help open editor list models create/update AGENTS. md compact the session list sessions ctrl+x h ctrl+x e ctrl+x m ctrl+x i ctrl+x c ctrl+x 1

It has a beautiful terminal UI (TUI) and the DX is really good. I only started using it last week, but so far, I’m loving it. You’ll need an account from of the major providers or use one of their API keys.

• > opencode auth login • Add credential Select provider • Anthropic (recommended) • GitHub Copilot • OpenAI • Google • Amazon Bedrock • Azure • DeepSeek

Like I said it’s open source so if you’re looking to make a contribution to AI in open source, maybe this is the project for you! Don’t forget to give it a star!

That’s it! Short and sweet. Until the next one!
