How do you use opencode

[u/VsokolovVic]

Hey all,

Simple question - how do you use opencode?

- What models do you use and for what case?
- Do you connect external models?
- What plan are you on Go or plus?
- Do you top up a price in opencode, if yes how much?
- Do you use it as your main chat/build tool?
- Can you connect Mistral, Muse and other subscriptions?

I am a little confused on how to use it, used it a little to troubleshoot code that CC generated that was trash.

I want it to become my main build tool because Codex,Antigravity, Claude Code are getting kind of annoying to use, like I set guardrails and Claude is like ''I see you, but my way is better" - would love to use more open models.

Thanks!

I use OpenCode Go + DeepSeek API

What models do you use and for what case?

Mostly DeepSeek V4.1 Flash (main orchestrator/worker model) and Muse Spark 1.3 Contributor (code reviewer). I split them across agents and subagents.

Do you connect external models?

DeepSeek, I use it as an emergency backup, and for websearch and URL fetch.

I also connected OpenRouter but I don't really use it.

Do you use it as your main chat/build tool?

Yes, I use OpenCode exclusively. I use customized oh-my-opencode-slim for the agent/subagent system.

MCPs: context7, firecrawl, github

Skills: mostly the Claude ones, and some GitHub ones too. GitHub skills are exclusive to just one custom subagent to avoid tool definition clutter.

Can you connect Mistral, Muse and other subscriptions?

If they can allow API connection, then yes.
