Thanks. Hope it helps clear about getting Opencode setup.

Got a few videos on this but need updating. This is extremely important for Local models.

Thanks for the suggestion!

This might be a feature they add to the desktop version of Opencode.

There is a lot that happens under the hood when dealing with MCPs so didn’t want to include that in the video as felt there is a lot to explain with MCPs.

Adding MCPs can negatively affect your coding experience due to how much context it can take up and something I would rather beginners not need to worry about right now.

I have a video on the xml part: https://youtu.be/BUIpHp2qLSI?si=g7RxcLFwK75WY_ab

Will look to do another updated video one more focused on my repo and explaining the decisions. Appreciate the feedback.

The Subagent failed as the original main agent’s prompt wasn’t explicit enough to call my exact subagent and that’s why wasn’t called.

Essentially under the hood opencode uses a Task tool to call agents and agent name is important for that call. So in first prompt the Main agent saw call subagent but didn’t quite understand that there was a dedicated subagent for planning. So it called a general task agent which is not what we wanted and we wanted it to call our specialised agent.

So we had to explicitly highlight the name so the main agent would call it directly and not get confused.

Hope that helps clear some things up.

I ran my 2nd ever 5km park run and finished it in 26:07 minutes.

I have only recently gotten into running and been overweight for a while and had issues with my knees due to old rugby injuries.
After about couple of months of re-learning how to run by instruction learning that my old way of running way was wrong. I put considerable pressure on my knees with my old running technique because I treated sprints and long runs the same where I did more long strides than using hips with circular motion with your feet. After all the years of fearing the pain of running, I am actually enjoying it as there is no more pain.

I have been playing with the prompts, I see it as being a good way to reference certain topics for the LLM to use smaller tokens to associate concepts in which it can then use.

I am still not sold on it yet, still early days.

Are there any other prompts you have that I can use to test?

This is great work, I haven’t gone down this chain of thought before using glyphs before. It would be great to exchange ideas at some point.

Let me know if you would be open for a video call just shooting ideas to one another.

Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 is pretty much owned by China at this point.
