    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?

    Have you considered using or integrating with ACP? https://zed.dev/acp

    We use it in our desktop app IDE (mediar.ai) and it's pretty good

    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?

    Still feels a bit technical. The Claude approach is designed for "Susan in Accounting" - what thoughts do you have to reduce the technical barriers?
    • ben_talent 2 hours ago
      Yeah it is still too technical.

      First obvious stuff like getting the dmg notarized having easier install.

      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.

      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.

    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!

      Yeah ! I feel like until we figure out the correct UX for non-technical people the right way would be a sort of hybrid. Where you'd set it up on a remote server (if you know opencode you know openwork) and you just then have non-tech people do a one time setup to connect to the remote and from then on you can easily extend capabilities.

    The word "open" in software names has completely lost its meaning.
    • ben_talent 1 hour ago
      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

    What is the license?

    This doesn't seem to be open source, it's currently "all rights reserved" and not under an OSI or FSF license: https://github.com/different-ai/openwork?tab=readme-ov-file#...

        Beware that the readme.md still says "TBD" at the bottom.
        • ben_talent 3 hours ago
          Fixed as well. Thanks again!
