Personally I’m skeptical and a bit dismissive of an insta- clone of commercial offerings. I ignore these things until they’re 3-6 months old and still iterating.
Announcements on their own are like whispers.

Looks great. I don't use opencode myself but like a lot Claude skills, agents, I have like 50 different ones for personal life, work, dating, whatever
Is there integration with Claude skills?
We use it in our desktop app IDE (mediar.ai) and it's pretty good

I don't understand the point when opencode desktop already exists.

Created two days ago.... Did you use Claude Code to generate the open source code? :P

Still feels a bit technical. The Claude approach is designed for "Susan in Accounting" - what thoughts do you have to reduce the technical barriers?

What's the security boundary here - there's no mention of a VM or anything to isolate the agent from the file system?

sounds cool! I'm non technical, I get the workflow with controling home assistant. How could I use this at work? Like how could the workflow be between marketing and devs, for example, for website work, can I change content without dealing with GitHub?

how does it compare to opencode's own gui that uses tauri?

Great stuff and very timely. I just started getting into using opencode and while I'm hugely optimistic about its capabilities and can use it personally without too much sweat, I was left hoping for something a bit more batteries included to give to my non technical colleagues so we can collaborate together. This looks to be exactly what we were looking for so I am looking forward to giving it a spin!
