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.<p>Announcements on their own are like whispers.
What if the commercial offering was made in less than 2 weeks?<p><a href="https://x.com/altryne/status/2010811222409756707" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/altryne/status/2010811222409756707</a>
My take on the OP is that its commitment to an idea is what matters, not how quickly its created. I love seeing people insta-clone things but is this a side project that going to see updates for a few weeks or is this something that is going to be maintained actively for years to come.
It's a feature built upon a foundation. Cloning the feature without the foundation isn't the same thing.
Completely understand. It's up to us to keep shippinh and making this actually good during that time!
That's a good idea from the user perspective. I jumped on the aider bandwagon and am now dealing with its relative abandonment and deciding if I want to invest time in a fork.<p>As a movement though it might be something else. To me, Claude is trying to build a moat around tooling, but due to the nature of their own core product that moat is becoming easier and easier to bridge. What does that mean for them?
The uncomfortable truth is that the marginal cost of producing software (if one doesn't care too much about quality or predictability) has now become near zero with AI; and therefore we will see many companies products being challenged in this way. Of course, Anthropic will have a leg up in terms of subsidized models provided along with a subscription, etc.
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?<p>Have you considered using or integrating with ACP? <a href="https://zed.dev/acp" rel="nofollow">https://zed.dev/acp</a><p>We use it in our desktop app IDE (mediar.ai) and it's pretty good
Yes it's fully integrated with Claude Skills.<p>There's first-class integration of <a href="https://github.com/enulus/OpenPackage" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/enulus/OpenPackage</a> and we provide a ui to install from a list of skills easily as well as add your own.
Dating??? Christ, this planet is cooked.
i use dating skill to update my dating CRM (md notes) and my dating dashboard<p>recently i have been working on a dating skill so AI book the right place based on each other personality using computer use
Surely that is a joke… I hope…
Early on I asked ChatGPT 4 what women actually want. I actually got some advice that was quite helpful.
id imagine a skill like "book a restaurant, and update my calendar"
What's the security boundary here - there's no mention of a VM or anything to isolate the agent from the file system?
A current concern of mine, also when using Claude Cowork, is that I don’t want files to be modified if I can’t control their versions/ if they aren’t versioned at all.<p>And even though it doesn’t actually get full sudo access, giving an LLM permission to edit files without being able to track exactly what it’s doing still feels risky.
Still feels a bit technical. The Claude approach is designed for "Susan in Accounting" - what thoughts do you have to reduce the technical barriers?
Yeah it is still too technical.<p>First obvious stuff like getting the dmg notarized having easier install.<p>Then after it will be about optimizing onboarding. One of the core goals is to help Susan do 1 small task in under 5 min.<p>To do that we will need to:
- have some prepackaged configs for folks like starter template
- ship opencode within the app itself so users don't need to manually install it
- and get rid of the technical jargon that is cluttered in the app.
I wonder if most "Susan in Accounting" even know what Claude is. They then have to know to get Claude desktop, get the max plan in order to get Cowork. Most people live on the cloud, so they'll need to get the Claude browser plugin as well to integrate with Cowork.<p>I'm curious to see if Anthropic can actually win over these non-technical folks as there's still quite a few hurdles for them to get over.
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!
Came up with the same idea this morning and worked half day to get a working version. Then I saw this post.<p>Will like to contribute.
Created two days ago.... Did you use Claude Code to generate the open source code? :P
I don't understand the point when opencode desktop already exists.
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?
Nice job! How were you able to get it out so quickly?
yo this is so sick, could def incorporate this into my workflow
What is the license?
god!love you!!
This doesn't seem to be open source, it's currently "all rights reserved" and not under an OSI or FSF license: <a href="https://github.com/different-ai/openwork?tab=readme-ov-file#license" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/different-ai/openwork?tab=readme-ov-file#...</a>
This isn't open source.
[flagged]
The word "open" in software names has completely lost its meaning.
I used "open" because:
- it's open source
- built on top of open source (opencode)
- it's built-around extensibility via plain-text files (skills) and open-source plugins
If everyone put "open" in their project's name because it was open source, almost all the software we use would have "open" in the name<p>The open source / open plugins / text files is not unique to your project. The majority of the ai tooling space is open in the same way
How much more open do you want it to be? It’s MIT licensed.
