Course Overview
OpenCode turns AI coding from a disconnected chat into an agent that works directly inside your codebase. Instead of copying snippets back and forth, you’ll learn how to collaborate with an AI coding agent that can read files, run commands, and make real changes while you stay in control. You’ll start with the basics: how OpenCode works, how to reference files, and how to run shell commands to inspect and update a repository. Next, you’ll use slash commands to set context, move faster, and undo changes whe...Show More
What You'll Learn
A clear understanding of what OpenCode is and how an open-source AI coding agent differs from chat-based coding assistants when working inside code repositories
Hands-on experience using OpenCode’s core workflow, including referencing files, running shell commands, and applying slash commands to control context and undo changes
Strong skills in planning reliable code changes with Plan mode vs. Build mode, separating reasoning from execution to reduce mistakes and improve code quality
The ability to safely operate OpenCode tools by configuring permissions and controlling what the agent can access across files, commands, and system resources
Working knowledge of extending OpenCode through custom commands and custom tools, enabling repeatable automation and project-specific AI workflows
Hands-on experience configuring the OpenCode ecosystem, including switching between cloud and local models, enforcing code quality with formatters, teaching agent skills, and integrating external services through MCP servers
