Claude Code = brain (plans, reviews, merges). opencode = disposable workers on free models (opencode/mimo-v2.5-free default; verified $0.00 per run). This skill is a thin orchestration layer over opencode, a third-party CLI. It is not bundled — install and authenticate it yourself first: | Requirement | Notes | |---|---| | Node.js >= 18 | The scripts use fetch and node:timers/promises. | | opencode CLI on PATH | npm i -g opencode-ai (or the installer opencode documents). | | An authenticated opencode account | opencode auth login. Workers run as your account. | | Default model opencode/mimo-v2.5-free | A free tier offered by opencode, not by Anthropic. Availability, rate limits, and pricing are opencode's to change — override with --model at any time. | | Windows only: OPENCODEGITBASHPATH | Point at C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe, set persistently. | Hivemind is opt-in and ships outside every domain bundle. By default your code leaves your machine: the default model, opencode/mimo-v2.5-free, runs on opencode's hosted service, so each worker sends its prompt, plus any files or diffs you give it, to opencode's endpoints. Nothing on the worker side calls the Anthropic API. To keep
