## Why Included

OpenCode provides open-source terminal and desktop coding agents, with separate full-access and read-only modes plus a general-purpose subagent.

## Source Summary

OpenCode is an open-source coding agent available through package managers, an install script, and desktop builds. It includes **build**, a full-access development agent, and **plan**, a read-only agent for code exploration that asks before running shell commands.

## Practical Implication

Switch modes according to task risk: use plan to inspect unfamiliar repositories and shape changes, then build when file and command access is required. A **@general** subagent handles complex searches and multistep work.

The material lists many installation paths but gives no model support, benchmark, or reliability evidence. It also warns users to remove releases older than **0.1.x** before installing.

## Connected Context

Feed7 judgment across 691 accumulated Signals:

OpenCode packages a coding agent around an explicit risk transition: inspect and plan with read-only authority, then switch to a full-access builder when mutation is warranted. Its built-in general subagent adds delegated search without requiring a separate orchestrator. The signal expands installation and workflow choice, but supplies no evidence that its models, subagent behavior, or reliability outperform other agent surfaces.

- [stablyai/orca](https://feed7.dev/p/orca-18dssxm) — OpenCode provides modes and a subagent inside one coding-agent product; Orca instead coordinates multiple CLI agents in isolated worktrees with shared monitoring, making it a broader orchestration layer rather than a direct substitute for OpenCode’s permission split.
- [esengine/DeepSeek-Reasonix](https://feed7.dev/p/deepseek-reasonix-04w4r16) — Both separate planning from execution, but OpenCode frames that boundary primarily through read-only versus full-access authority, while Reasonix makes planner and executor models configurable and centers prefix-cache reuse.
- [openai/codex](https://feed7.dev/p/codex-1jzl221) — Both offer installable coding-agent workflows across common developer environments; OpenCode distinguishes itself in the supplied material through named permission modes and a general subagent, while neither record provides comparative reliability evidence.
- [Direct agents with visual prompts in Design Mode](https://feed7.dev/p/design-mode-03jgzd5) — OpenCode’s described interaction is repository exploration and command execution, whereas Cursor adds structured visual context from running interfaces; that highlights a dev-UX capability not established for OpenCode.
