OpenCode CLI — Detailed Integration Guide

OpenCode is a provider-agnostic, open-source AI coding agent. This reference covers binary resolution, session management, and key pitfalls.

Binary Resolution

Shell environments may resolve different OpenCode binaries. Check:

terminal(command="which -a opencode")
terminal(command="opencode --version")

If needed, pin an explicit binary path: $HOME/.opencode/bin/opencode run '...'

Interactive Sessions (Background)

# Start TUI in background
terminal(command="opencode", workdir="~/project", background=true, pty=true)

# Send a prompt
process(action="submit", session_id="<id>", data="Implement OAuth refresh flow")

# Monitor
process(action="log", session_id="<id>")

# Exit — use Ctrl+C, NOT /exit
process(action="write", session_id="<id>", data="\x03")

Important: Do NOT use /exit — it opens an agent selector instead. Use Ctrl+C (\x03) or process(action="kill").

TUI Keybindings

Key	Action
Enter	Submit message
Tab	Switch between agents
Ctrl+P	Command palette
Ctrl+X L	Switch session
Ctrl+X M	Switch model
Ctrl+X N	New session
Ctrl+C	Exit

PR Review

terminal(command="opencode pr 42", workdir="~/project", pty=true)

Or review in a temporary clone for isolation.
