Agents & Ecosystem

Opencode is not just an editor; it is a development environment driven by Agents.

What are Agents?

In Opencode, an Agent is an AI unit capable of perceiving context, planning tasks, and executing operations.

When you run /init, Opencode generates an AGENTS.md file in the root directory of your project.

• It is a Markdown file.
• It records the project's architectural standards, coding style, and common commands.
• Purpose: Every time you ask a question, Opencode reads this file first. This means you don't need to repeat "Please use Vue 3 Composition API" or "My database is PostgreSQL" every time; the Agent has already remembered it.

What is Big Pickle?

In the Opencode community discussions, you might hear "Big Pickle".

• It usually refers to a large model configuration internally used by Opencode, fine-tuned and particularly good at handling complex contexts.
• It's like a "Grand Slam" burger, containing all capabilities such as code understanding, file operations, and terminal control.
• Note: The specific naming may change with version updates; please refer to the official latest Model List.

MCP (Model Context Protocol)

Opencode fully supports the MCP Protocol. This is a standard introduced by Anthropic, aimed at allowing AI models to connect to external data in a standardized way.

What can Opencode + MCP do?

1. Connect GitHub: Let AI check Issues and PRs directly in the IDE.
2. Connect PostgreSQL: Let AI directly query the database structure and generate ORM code.
3. Connect Slack: Summarize team discussions and convert them into code requirements.

You can add the address of the MCP Server in the configuration file, and Opencode will automatically recognize and mount these tools.
