This fork (finedesignz/opencode) adds two providers and a localhost WebSocket route that aren't in upstream:
Picks up your existing OAuth token from ~/.claude/.credentials.json (the same file claude CLI writes when you run claude auth login) and routes opencode's normal LLM loop through it. No Anthropic API key needed.
# Pre-req: log in once via the official Claude Code CLI
claude auth login
# Then in opencode, pick the model:
# claude-subscription/claude-sonnet-4-5
# claude-subscription/claude-opus-4-5
# claude-subscription/claude-haiku-4-5Token refresh, write-back to ~/.claude, and cross-process locking are handled automatically. If claude CLI rotates the token mid-session, opencode picks up the change via file watcher.
Picking a claude-code/* model bypasses opencode's native LLM loop and spawns claude -p --output-format stream-json per turn. Claude Code runs its own agentic loop (its tools, hooks, skills, MCPs) inside opencode's session, with every tool call gated through opencode's permission UI via a PreToolUse hook callback.
# Pre-req: install the Claude Code CLI
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
# Then in opencode, pick:
# claude-code/claude-sonnet-4-5 (or opus / haiku)Tool calls render with full diff/output fidelity for cc:Read, cc:Write, cc:Edit, cc:Bash (other cc:* tools fall back to a generic card). Sessions can interleave native opencode turns with claude-code turns; CC session continuity is preserved via --resume.
Configurable in opencode.json:
{
"provider": {
"claude-subscription": { "enabled": true },
"claude-code": {
"enabled": true,
"binPath": "claude",
"permissionTimeout": 300,
"permissionFailMode": "deny",
"maxConsecutiveDeniedTools": 3
}
},
"compaction": {
"fallbackModel": "claude-subscription/claude-haiku-4-5"
}
}Bidirectional WS endpoint that mirrors /event SSE plus accepts inbound prompt and permission messages. Useful for building custom local web clients. Origin-checked, proxy-header-rejected, no auth token required (localhost-only by design — do not expose).

OpenCode is also available as a desktop application. Download directly from the releases page or opencode.ai/download.

Fork builds: Releases of this fork (with
claude-subscription/claude-codeproviders) are published atfinedesignz/opencode/releases. The Windows installer isopencode-electron-win-x64.exe.CI builds are produced by
.github/workflows/fork-build-win.yml— trigger manually from the Actions tab, or push a tag matchingv*-fork.*/v*-claude.*. The workflow:
- Builds
packages/desktop-electronfor Windows.- Signs the installer if the repo has secrets
WIN_CODE_SIGNING_PFX_BASE64(base64-encoded PFX) andWIN_CODE_SIGNING_PFX_PASSWORD.- Uploads the signed installer as a workflow artifact and (for tag pushes) attaches it to a GitHub release.
Local build:
bun install && bun run --cwd packages/desktop-electron prebuild && bun run --cwd packages/desktop-electron build && bun run --cwd packages/desktop-electron package:win— output atpackages/desktop-electron/dist/opencode-electron-win-x64.exe.
# macOS (Homebrew)
brew install --cask opencode-desktop
# Windows (Scoop)
scoop bucket add extras; scoop install extras/opencode-desktopThe install script respects the following priority order for the installation path:
$OPENCODE_INSTALL_DIR- Custom installation directory$XDG_BIN_DIR- XDG Base Directory Specification compliant path$HOME/bin- Standard user binary directory (if it exists or can be created)$HOME/.opencode/bin- Default fallback
# Examples
OPENCODE_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bin curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash
XDG_BIN_DIR=$HOME/.local/bin curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bashOpenCode includes two built-in agents you can switch between with the Tab key.
- build - Default, full-access agent for development work
- plan - Read-only agent for analysis and code exploration
- Denies file edits by default
- Asks permission before running bash commands
- Ideal for exploring unfamiliar codebases or planning changes
Also included is a general subagent for complex searches and multistep tasks.
This is used internally and can be invoked using @general in messages.

If you are working on a project that's related to OpenCode and is using "opencode" as part of its name, for example "opencode-dashboard" or "opencode-mobile", please add a note to your README to clarify that it is not built by the OpenCode team and is not affiliated with us in any way.
It's very similar to Claude Code in terms of capability. Here are the key differences:
- 100% open source
- Not coupled to any provider. Although we recommend the models we provide through OpenCode Zen, OpenCode can be used with Claude, OpenAI, Google, or even local models. As models evolve, the gaps between them will close and pricing will drop, so being provider-agnostic is important.
- Out-of-the-box LSP support
- A focus on TUI. OpenCode is built by neovim users and the creators of terminal.shop; we are going to push the limits of what's possible in the terminal.
- A client/server architecture. This, for example, can allow OpenCode to run on your computer while you drive it remotely from a mobile app, meaning that the TUI frontend is just one of the possible clients.
