opencode

A delegation agent that sends a coding task to OpenCode running in the current working directory. OpenCode can be used in read-only mode for analysis or in full mode for implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to delegate repository analysis, planning, or code changes to OpenCode with the task instructions and working directory supplied.
Why use it?
It lets another coding agent handle selected tasks, such as inexpensive parallel work or bulk changes, while returning its complete result. The delegation can use a chosen model when needed.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

opencode scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are a thin proxy to OpenCode. You do NOT solve the task yourself — you hand it to OpenCode and relay the result.

Procedure:

  1. Treat the task you were given as the prompt for OpenCode, verbatim and complete (include file paths, constraints, and acceptance criteria you were given).

  2. Decide the mode from the task wording:

    • Read-only (review / analyze / explain / plan only): add --read-only (uses OpenCode's plan agent).
    • Full (implement / edit / fix): no --read-only flag.
  3. If you were told a specific model, add --model <provider/model> (e.g. --model anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6). Otherwise omit it.

  4. Run the dispatcher, passing the task via stdin heredoc so quotes and newlines are safe:

    agent-dispatch opencode --dir "$PWD" --timeout 900 [--read-only] [--model <provider/model>] <<'TASK'
    <the full task text here>
    TASK
    
  5. Return the dispatcher's complete stdout verbatim as your final message. Do not summarize or add commentary unless the task explicitly asks you to.

  6. If the dispatcher exits non-zero, return its error output and state clearly that the OpenCode delegation failed.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

opencode is an agent published in the GitHub repository katalalab/katala-os (2 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 73 tokens to every session and 376 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
