Install commandSecurity notes

agent safety

Agent safety answer

opencode is an agent-facing coding tool that can read files and invoke local developer workflows.

Credential access

May access repository files, tool configs, and environment variables available to the agent session.

Remote mutation

Can trigger local tools that mutate Git, cloud, or package state.

Publish/artifact risk

Can generate code or commands that become release artifacts.

Recommended control

Run under containment and gate sensitive tool actions.

Agent-use guidance

Use with scanned worktrees; require approval before commands that expose credentials or mutate remote systems.

history

Project history and usage

OpenCode is an open-source AI coding agent distributed for terminal, IDE, and desktop workflows. The project positions the CLI as a coding assistant with a native terminal interface, LSP awareness, multi-session work, session sharing, and support for many model providers.

Project history

The official documentation and repository present OpenCode as a rapidly distributed developer tool rather than a project with a deeply documented pre-release history. Its packaging moved across the JavaScript ecosystem, Homebrew, Arch, Windows package managers, Nix, and a beta desktop app, which reflects the AI-coding-agent pattern of shipping a local CLI plus integrations rather than only a hosted service.

The repository installation notes distinguish the project-maintained Homebrew tap from the Homebrew core formula, saying the tap is recommended for faster updates while `brew install opencode` is maintained by Homebrew and updated less frequently. That distinction matters because the package in this batch is the Homebrew formula rather than the upstream tap.

Adoption history

OpenCode's own site makes large adoption claims, including GitHub stars, contributors, commits, and monthly developer usage. Those are project-published metrics rather than independent measurements, but they show how the project presents itself: as a mainstream open-source alternative in the coding-agent ecosystem.

How it is used

Developers use `opencode` as an interactive agent for repository work: asking questions, requesting features, making code changes, undoing changes, and running parallel sessions. The docs list API keys as a prerequisite and describe use from a modern terminal emulator, with desktop and IDE forms for users who do not want only a TUI.

Why package nerds care

OpenCode is package-nerdy because it is a CLI front end over a fast-moving agent stack: releases must coordinate model-provider auth, terminal UI behavior, editor integration, desktop artifacts, and package managers that update at different speeds. Its Homebrew formula is part of a broader install matrix rather than the single canonical upstream channel.

security posture

No protected-tool coverage found yet

No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for opencode. Nucleus package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL.

Install behavior

  • No Homebrew post-install hook is recorded in formula metadata.
  • Homebrew bottle metadata is available for 6 platform targets.
  • Installs with 2 runtime dependencies.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.

local files

Configuration and credential file locations

These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval.
