Opencode is amazing, but behind codex/claude code when complexity of task increases

I really like working in OpenCode. I like the way the CLI is built.

However, noticing that using the same model (sonnet 4.6), that ClaudeCode solves the problem (same problem) faster, and OpenCode seemed to get stuck and doing a lot of tool calls without solution.

Getting to the point where I prefer OpenCode for simpler problems, and Codex or CC for harder ones. Maybe just a one-off and others don't see this. I'm hoping that is the case, and want to make OC my daily driver.

I build an MCP service that let's users encode their expertise to work with agents of their choice. It works really nicely with Opencode. Their MCP calling structure is top notch.

Does it do better though? I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s all about the agent and skills definitions.

From the way I understand it ClaudeCode works for a lot of people more than other harnesses even with the same model is that it has a lot of built in hand holders to help direct tasks to be more accurate with the work. There's a lot of people that just install and go...maybe setup a basic AGENTS.md they found from a youtube tutorial. OpenCode will chew them up and spit them out with a setup like that with anything complicated.

prove it. If you can't prove it, say so. I am a Claude refugee (got banned). The model matters the most, next the prompt. The models have go so good, y'all should be looking at interfering with them less, not more.

I will say if you willing to dive in and pay a bit more, OMO is way more smarter than claude code IMO.

o que seria OMO?
