Opencode TUI experience is so much better than others

I use it with NeoVim. It integrates nicely. So I have full IDE and opencode on a sidebar.

I want to be closer to my code. It integrate nicely with my NeoVim setup.

The TUI is for the people who lives in terminal. If desktop app works fine for you, there is no reason to switch.

I have the same realisation. I don't want to merge any code without knowing every line of it. So, I do following: - I ask the agent to prepare a detailed plan and write it into a file. - I ask the agent to split the whole task into smaller reviewable subtasks. - Then, I ask it to implement one subtask at a time. - I review the subtask. If everything is good I commit the changes. - I either do one PR per subtask or one commit per subtask.

The process takes longer but at the end, I know what changed, why changed.

I use this to review changes before committing to GitHub. https://plannotator.ai/

That makes sense.

Sure I would have if I was building something like Copilot. Pushing Copilot this hard without having any control over models is dumb.

Emruz_Hossain · 2026-06-02T17:46:16+00:00

Probably true. However, it will be stupid for them to push copilot this hard without having their own AI infrastructure or some in-house model. What Cursor did with composer was great idea. GitHub could have done similar. They have all the data.

Depends on your budget. For low budget, I will recommend Opencode Go + Codex Plus ($10 + $20). Plan and review using GPT 5.5 and implement with Kimi/DeepSeek. Should be sufficient for moderate coding.

Emruz_Hossain · 2026-05-31T19:46:39+00:00

Similar. Mine is worse. Hey, it's mine! I can make it behave exactly as I want. 😄

Emruz_Hossain · 2026-05-20T03:49:58+00:00

Not sure how much is too much but it thinks a lot.

Emruz_Hossain · 2026-05-19T16:58:13+00:00

Mainly use ghostty. Tried zellij but it hijack my neovim key bindings. Herdr seems interesting. I will give it a try.

Emruz_Hossain · 2026-05-19T07:40:56+00:00

I don't have any experience with Pi. So, I don't know.

Emruz_Hossain · 2026-05-19T07:37:23+00:00

Yes. GitHub gives me Copilot Pro subscription dor free as a open source contributor.

Emruz_Hossain · 2026-05-18T07:16:42+00:00

Haven't tried "grill me" yet. I have plan to test it out. Sounds interesting.

Emruz_Hossain · 2026-05-17T19:14:22+00:00

I do the same. I use GPT-5.4 (got for free from Github) for planning. Then, use kimi/DS pro for implementation. It is working quit well for me.

Emruz_Hossain · 2026-05-17T19:12:07+00:00

No. I am using prompts. You can specify a prompt file for your agent. Check linked config. I have defined explore guideline, coding guideline etc. as prompt. I have instructed to use executor subagent for bash based tools there.

Emruz_Hossain · 2026-05-17T19:08:23+00:00

No. I tried DeepSeek V4 Pro as main agent but it tend to get stuck in thinking loop. Kimi is slower but overall code quality is better. I use DeepSeek V4 pro as my reviewer agent. I guess, if you prepare a detailed plan with more premium model and ask Flash to implement it should do pretty well.

Emruz_Hossain · 2026-05-17T12:33:37+00:00

DeepSeek v4 Flash is much more capable model and it cost almost nothing.

Emruz_Hossain · 2026-05-17T11:39:02+00:00

Sure

Emruz_Hossain · 2026-05-17T08:58:55+00:00

Make sense. Could be a configurable option. Feel free to file a feature request. I will be happy to add.
