opencode vs oh-my-openagent
Two of the top coding agents and assistants, side by side: score, setup, license, activity and what each review found.
opencode
Terminal coding agent with build and plan modes
oh-my-openagent
Terminal coding agent that runs parallel sub-agents and keeps git-based memory

opencode
Runs an AI coding agent in the terminal with two built-in agents: build (full access) and plan (read-only, asks before running bash), plus a general subagent for multi-step searches. Installs via a curl script, npm, Homebrew, Scoop, Chocolatey, pacman, mise or Nix, and ships a beta desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux. For developers who want an open, configurable coding agent.
Who it is for: Developers wanting an open terminal coding agent
Strengths
- MIT license; installable from npm, Homebrew, Scoop, Chocolatey, pacman, mise and Nix
- Plan agent denies file edits and asks before bash, for safe codebase exploration
- Desktop app (beta) for macOS, Windows and Linux alongside the terminal UI
Weaknesses
- README covers install only; providers, config and server mode are in external docs
- No Dockerfile or compose file in the repo
- Desktop app is still beta
- no GPU
oh-my-openagent
OmO ships a single `omo` command, a native binary built on senpi, the project's fork of pi. It takes a prompt and plans, runs and checks the work. Adding `ultrawork` or `mass ulw` makes it fan the job out to many agents, each on a model chosen for that step. Memory is stored as markdown files in a git repository, and `/login` supports Claude, ChatGPT, Kimi and GLM subscriptions.
Who it is for: Developers who want a terminal agent that orchestrates many models
Strengths
- Native binary installs via curl script, bun or npm; no Docker needed
- Logs in with Claude, ChatGPT, Kimi and GLM subscriptions
- Memory is plain markdown in a git repo, so it can be inspected
- `omo setup` migrates keys, MCP servers and skills from the OpenCode edition
Weaknesses
- License is SUL-1.0, not a standard OSI license; check terms before commercial use
- Install is a curl-pipe-to-bash script
- Computer use is documented as experimental
- Hardware needs and supported model list are not stated in the README
- Models: Claude, ChatGPT, Kimi, GLM
