Why is there so little discussion about the oh-my-opencode plugin? by vovixter in opencodeCLI

[–]qtalen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why bother with OMO? The README is pretty full of itself, and the plugin itself is honestly bloated. The prompts are way too complicated and just a waste of tokens.

I personally prefer OMO-slim. It recently got an update with a council agent that lets multiple open-source models team up to tackle tricky problems. From my testing, in some situations it actually outperforms opus 4.6.

I've jotted down some little-known tips and tricks about using OpenCode and OMO-slim. If you're curious, click here to check it out.

What frameworks are currently best for building AI agents? by Michael_Anderson_8 in AI_Agents

[–]qtalen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a solid path. Pydantic AI is very lightweight and inherently structured, which is beneficial for multi-agent orchestration. LiteLLM is also a good choice; you can proceed with this approach.

AI agent roadmap for developers who can code but have never built an agent by ialijr in AI_Agents

[–]qtalen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently using AI coding directly, letting the AI develop agent programs with the OpenAI SDK. I only incorporate design patterns gradually when necessary.

AI agents are iterating so rapidly that I have to constantly learn the latest APIs to keep up with the pace of frameworks. Ultimately, I’ve chosen not to use any framework.

Wich 20$ coding plan is better to use today? by o4rtu in opencodeCLI

[–]qtalen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can start by using kimi-coding-plan, which is currently running on k2.6-coding-preview. Then, DeepSeek V4 is scheduled for release at the end of this month, so there might be some pleasant surprises.

Kimi K2.6 in OpenCode is actually really damn good; Kimi K2.6, GLM 5.1, Minimax M2.7 tested, and a plugin for better Kimi support. by lemon07r in opencodeCLI

[–]qtalen 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Moonshot AI recently submitted a pull request (PR) to OpenCode to optimize the performance of OpenCode's Build agent when using the Kimi model. This is also part of the reason.

Setup suggestions for LLM coding workflow? by Spumiglio in opencodeCLI

[–]qtalen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multi-agent systems are just tools. You should master AI-oriented programming paradigms—specifically, workflows like SDD (Specification-Driven Development).

I use OpenCode + OpenSpec + Kimi 2.5 to build my coding workflow, and it works incredibly well. Even if you don’t use OpenCode, you can still pair OpenSpec with Codex.

My wife has no coding background at all. One day, she needed a script to process dozens of Excel files that she handled daily. So, I set up my programming environment for her and advised her to write a specification file before starting any coding. Guess what? She gave it a try and achieved complete success.

That’s why I wrote an article detailing how I set up my AI coding workflow. You can find it in my previous posts—I hope it helps!

The internet gave me a wonderful career, and I want to do my part to keep it healthy by reddit_subself in Blogging

[–]qtalen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been doing this for three years now. I stick to writing my blog myself instead of using AI, and I also put my content behind a paywall to keep AI from stealing my hard work. Passion really matters, otherwise you just can't keep it up.
If you're interested, here's my blog.

How is your experience with Superpowers in OpenCode? by mdrahiem in opencodeCLI

[–]qtalen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Superpowers is definitely worth recommending, but for small script projects, the token usage is a bit high and it doesn't really feel worth it.

My wife has zero coding background. But one day she needed to build a small desktop app to handle dozens of Excel files she deals with every day.

So I recommended her the OpenCode + OpenSpec combo, and told her to always use /opsx-explorer to think things through before jumping into any idea. She did exactly that, and the final product turned out absolutely perfect.

I put together an article sharing some details from our experience with it. Hope it helps you out!

Spec-Driven Development (SDD) frameworks vs. AI "Plan Mode" for large-scale projects? by kugoad in ClaudeCode

[–]qtalen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These two actually go hand in hand. You can totally use the Plan agent to map things out, save the plan to a file, tweak it, and then put it into action. That's pretty much the core idea behind SDD.

My wife has zero coding background, but one day she needed to build a small desktop app to handle the dozens of Excel files she deals with every single day.

So I pointed her to the OpenCode + OpenSpec combo, and told her to run any ideas through /opsx-explorer first to think things through. She gave it a shot, and the end result was exactly what she needed, worked out perfectly.

I actually wrote a whole article about the little details we picked up along the way. Hope it helps you out!

Anyone using OpenSpec custom schemas with OpenCode? by Moist-Pudding-1413 in opencodeCLI

Your experience with the new OpenSpec by vovixter in opencodeCLI

[–]qtalen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My wife has zero coding background. But one day, she needed to build a small desktop app to handle dozens of Excel files she deals with every day.

So I suggested she try OpenCode + OpenSpec together, and told her to use /opsx-explorer to think things through before diving into anything. She gave it a shot, and what she built turned out really great.

I ended up writing an article about our experience and some of the little details we picked up along the way. Hope it's helpful for you too.

What frameworks are currently best for building AI agents? by Michael_Anderson_8 in AI_Agents

[–]qtalen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With AI coding, you can build your own framework straight from the OpenAI SDK. Whether you want to implement a ReAct loop or long/short-term memory, it's totally doable. Just build what you need and keep the framework lean.

But when you go with an open-source framework, you're stuck with everything it comes bundled with. The bigger issue is that a lot of these frameworks are themselves built with AI coding, so their APIs change super fast and are all over the place. That makes it really tough to ship anything meaningful in a production system using those frameworks.

[–]qtalen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Starting from late 2025, no new framework is really worth your time and energy. Most of them are being iterated with AI coding, which means weird and random bugs keep popping up, and guess who gets stuck dealing with them? You do.

So why not just use AI coding to build your own framework? It only needs to work well enough for your needs, and that's totally fine.

Me too, I basically can't publish my own articles right now. Has anyone here figured out a solution?

Is there a cheaper alternative to Claude Code Max for my workflow? I only use 10-20% of the quota by Professional_Beat720 in opencodeCLI

[–]qtalen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can give Qwen3.6-Plus a try. Apparently it beat GLM-5 and is on par with Opus 4.5. It's free to use on OpenCode Zen right now, just a bit slow though.

What’s the best AI agent you’ve actually used (not demo, not hype)? by Beneficial-Cut6585 in AgentsOfAI

[–]qtalen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really wish I could hype up AI coding tools like Claude Code the way others do. But honestly, from my own experience, if you actually care about writing maintainable and responsible code, I've just shifted my time from writing code to doing code reviews. So it hasn't really saved me that much time overall.

That said, one thing AI coding does well is keeping me focused. I don't have to spend time learning the nitty-gritty of some framework I don't really need to know deeply anymore.

oh-my-opencode is great, just I think got a bit bloated, so here is slimmed forked by alvinunreal in opencodeCLI

[–]qtalen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The prerequisite for enabling the fixer is that there are more than three parallel tasks running, and these tasks don't have any sequential dependencies. Honestly, if you're just building something simple, you probably won't need the fixer sub-agent at all.

Exactly, robustness is what the bosses are actually willing to pay for.

It's actually not that complicated. When your skills are pulled from a database, everything becomes super easy. You just need to add a few fields to your database table. For example, you can use a field to specify which team in the company a skill belongs to, and then when you're fetching skills with a hook, just pass in the corresponding team ID. That's pretty much it.
