OpenCode is an open-source AI coding agent — a terminal app (TUI), desktop app, and IDE extension that reads your repo, runs commands, edits files, and talks to any LLM you point it at. Maintained by Anomaly, MIT-licensed — and as of July 2026 the most-starred coding agent on GitHub (182K+ stars), with 8M monthly users by the founder's count.
Three things it does that a chat UI can't:
read/grep/glob tools.edit/write/apply_patch, then bash to run your tests, linter, or build on the spot.Three interfaces:
| Surface | Command | When |
|---|---|---|
| TUI (default) | opencode | Interactive day-to-day work in your terminal |
| CLI / headless | opencode run "<prompt>" | Scripts, CI jobs, one-shot prompts |
