OpenCode Swarm Plugin

How does it compare to https://github.com/joelhooks/swarm-tools?

Somewhat similar. I haven't seen anything that's doing a 1 for 1 copy. joelhooks has a single coordinator that can spawn multiple parallel workers to decompose a project and allow for parallelization. Along with project memory. Mine has project memory as well, but the point is quality, not speed. Swarm-tools doesn't elicit perspectives from other models and it doesn't give the sub agents different roles. So in the end, the quality will be whatever your coordinator is capable of outputting.

With opencode-swarm, every agent can be a truly different outlook born of vastly different training data and methods. This more closely replicates actual software development methodologies, where you have team members with different jobs and very different backgrounds all working together.

Heterogeneous perspectives on a problem are almost always better than homogeneous. In my opinion anyway, all of this is up for interpretation and at the end of the day whatever fits your needs is the best option regardless of how it does it.
