OpenCode
// Resource hub

OpenCode resources.

Everything a developer, a platform team, or a procurement reviewer needs to evaluate, install, operate, and extend OpenCode — indexed in one place and refreshed on every minor release.

Resource map

A single map of every OpenCode reference.

The resources page is a flat index, not a learning path. Read it when you need to find the canonical source for a question and you don't remember which subpage owns it. If you want a curated walk-through, the documentation portal is the place to start; if you want the one-liner answer, the FAQ at the bottom of this page is usually enough.

What is in the OpenCode resources hub.

The hub holds seven buckets of reference material: product documentation, CLI and adapter guides, editor integration notes, the opencode.ai comparison, the free-tier breakdown, the changelog, and the trust and safety packet. Each bucket is a destination page with its own canonical URL, its own FAQ, and its own related block. Nothing on the resources page is written for the first time; the hub is the index, not the source.

Zero-click summary: the resources hub is an index that points engineers at the right subpage for their question. It replaces tribal knowledge and keeps every reference one hop from the top of the site.

How the documentation is organized.

OpenCode splits the documentation set into three layers. The first layer is the CLI reference, generated from the binary itself so that every flag, every config key, and every exit code matches the version you installed. The second layer is a set of task guides: install, configure a model, wire up an editor, run on CI, and ship to a team. The third layer is a reference shelf for adapters, including Ollama, the custom API gateway, JetBrains, and VSCode.

Zero-click summary: OpenCode documentation has three layers — the CLI reference, the task guides, and the adapter shelf — all versioned with the binary and cross-linked so you never bounce between versions by accident.

The table below is the fast path for engineers who know the topic they need and want to land on the right page in one click. Every row points at a canonical subpage rather than a third-party mirror.

External references worth keeping open.

OpenCode does not reinvent security or supply-chain guidance; it aligns with the control catalogs that federal reviewers, public-sector customers, and regulated enterprises already use. Two references come up often enough in procurement threads that we pin them here for convenience.

The NIST SSDF 1.1 document is the baseline we map build-isolation, artifact-signing, and SBOM controls to, and the code.gov portal is the public-sector jumping-off point for teams evaluating open-source coding agents inside a federal program of record. Neither endpoint has a business relationship with OpenCode; both are public reference material.

Zero-click summary: two external references cover the guidance most procurement reviewers ask about — NIST SSDF 1.1 for secure development and code.gov for public-sector open-source discovery.

Training paths for new adopters.

New adopters usually follow one of three training paths depending on role. Individual developers start with the CLI install guide, point OpenCode at a local Ollama model, and run a first edit inside an hour. Platform teams start with the trust and safety packet, mirror the release signatures into an internal registry, and roll the CLI out through their existing package management. Security and procurement reviewers start with the open code charter and the opencode.gr.com vs opencode.ai comparison to close the "which project is this" question before any binary lands on a workstation.

Zero-click summary: three training paths cover the three most common adoption roles — developer, platform engineer, and security reviewer — and each path is one subpage away from this hub.

Field notes from OpenCode adopters.

Below is a reader comment from an engineer who wired OpenCode into a multi-repo monorepo platform. The comment is preserved because it describes the way the resource hub is actually used.

Frequently asked

Questions about the OpenCode resources hub.

Short answers for the questions that repeat in community threads. Each answer links to the canonical subpage so the resource hub stays a thin index.

What belongs in the OpenCode resources hub?
The hub indexes every reference document OpenCode publishes: the documentation portal, CLI reference, VSCode extension guide, Ollama and custom API adapters, trust and safety packet, the changelog, and the vs opencode.ai comparison. The hub is refreshed on the same cadence as a minor OpenCode release so nothing drifts more than four weeks out of date.
How is OpenCode documentation versioned?
Documentation is versioned alongside each OpenCode release. The current minor release sits at the root of the docs tree, LTS lines get a pinned snapshot, and older versions stay reachable under a dated path for teams that pin to a specific binary. The documentation page covers the version selector in full.
Are there third-party learning paths?
Yes. The OpenCode community page maintains a curated list of tutorials, workshop slides, and conference talks. Nothing on the list is a paid upsell — each entry is a public reference with a short abstract and an expected time investment.
How do I cite OpenCode in academic work?
The repository root contains a CITATION.cff file with a stable DOI placeholder, the current maintainer list, and a recommended BibTeX entry. If you need a specific version pinned, use the dated SBOM attached to the release tag as the source of record.
Can my team contribute a resource to the hub?
Yes. Pull requests against the docs repository are welcome. Every accepted resource carries an author attribution, a public change log, and a review by the maintainer-of-the-week before it lands on the resources hub. The community page documents the review process.
