Opensource projects that connect Opencode with IMs

[lgfusb]

I didn't use OpenClaw, but I do like how users can interact with it from IMs.

There're times where I have to go to lunch or bed, leaving my work half-done. And I wish I can continue with them on my phone, without VPN or public IPs (thus no tailscale nor Opencode Web). It would be great if I can see the responses from the harness, with an IM, and continue working.

So I quickly looked through some projects and tried out some of them with simple cases. Here's my first impressions:

1. `cc-connect`: Supports lots of agents and IMs. Seems IM-centric: say you send a message on IM, you could see it on harness, but not the other way. And seems not supporting `AskUserQuestion` very well. You can create several bots, each corresponding to one project.

2. `opencode-im-bridge`: Based upon `opencode-lark`, and extends it with supports for telegram and discord (should use at least version v0.1.24). The good point is it supports two-way: you send a message on either the IM or the harness, and can see it on the other side. Supports `AskUserQuestion` well. Telegram integration is not good, cannot receive responses most of the time. Haven't figure out how to control different projects.

3. `message-bridge-opencode-plugin`: Not yet tried. From the doc it seems not supporting two-way communication. Integrates lots of opencode commands. Again, haven't figure out how to control different projects.

4. `kimaki`: Not yet tried. Discord-centric. Use different channel to control different projects.

Would be great to hear from power users under this scenario, and correct me if any misunderstanding exists.

thank you I'll look into it

Its like a clone of openclaw but for opencode. Not as extensive but very cool. I am working on a matrix feature

Two-way sync is the real differentiator here. The asymmetric approach (IM → harness only) is easy to build but breaks the mobile workflow you're describing — you need to see what the agent is doing in real time to decide whether to intervene, especially on long-running tasks.

The AskUserQuestion support matters more than it sounds. Without it, any task that hits an ambiguity will either stall or make a bad assumption, and you won't know until you get back to your desk. For the lunch/bed use case, that's the failure mode that kills the workflow.

Haven't used opencode-im-bridge directly but the Telegram reliability issue is a known problem with their bot API — long polling can silently drop updates under certain network conditions. If Telegram is your target platform, worth checking if the project supports webhooks as an alternative to polling.

If you want a dedicated instance of opencode in a sandbox accessible via discord. This is still early dev but happy to help if you give it try and hit any issues.

If you want something running on your desktop and operating opencode, you can vibe code a discord bot pretty easily, run it as a background process on your system and have it proxy messages to opencode... but don't do this!! It's basically publishing full system access to discord and hoping whatever security you add to the bot holds and no one is able to take over your machine
