- To regenerate the JavaScript SDK, run
./packages/sdk/js/script/build.ts. main— production builds (gruntcode). Stable release.staging— pre-release builds (gruntcode-staging).dev— cutting-edge builds (gruntcode-dev). Default branch.
Each branch auto-detects its channel from git branch --show-current via @opencode-ai/script.
The version format is 0.0.0-<channel>-<YYYYMMDDHHmm>.
# From packages/opencode — build for current platform only, no embedded web UI:
bun run script/build.ts --single --skip-embed-web-uiOutput lands in dist/opencode-darwin-arm64/bin/opencode (or the platform equivalent).
After building, copy and re-sign — macOS invalidates the ad-hoc Bun signature on cp:
cp dist/opencode-darwin-arm64/bin/opencode ~/.opencode/bin/gruntcode # main
cp dist/opencode-darwin-arm64/bin/opencode ~/.opencode/bin/gruntcode-staging # staging
cp dist/opencode-darwin-arm64/bin/opencode ~/.opencode/bin/gruntcode-dev # dev
codesign --force --sign - ~/.opencode/bin/gruntcode
codesign --force --sign - ~/.opencode/bin/gruntcode-staging
codesign --force --sign - ~/.opencode/bin/gruntcode-devWithout the codesign step the binary will hang / exit 137 (SIGKILL) on macOS.
cd packages/opencode
for branch in main staging dev; do
git checkout "$branch"
bun run script/build.ts --single --skip-embed-web-ui
case "$branch" in
main) name=gruntcode ;;
staging) name=gruntcode-staging ;;
dev) name=gruntcode-dev ;;
esac
cp dist/opencode-darwin-arm64/bin/opencode ~/.opencode/bin/"$name"
codesign --force --sign - ~/.opencode/bin/"$name"
echo "$name: $(~/.opencode/bin/"$name" --version)"
doneUse conventional commit-style messages and PR titles: type(scope): summary.
Valid types are feat, fix, docs, chore, refactor, and test. Scopes are optional; use the affected package or area when helpful, e.g. core, opencode, tui, app, desktop, sdk, or plugin.
Examples: fix(tui): simplify thinking toggle styling, docs: update contributing guide, chore(sdk): regenerate types.
- Keep things in one function unless composable or reusable
- Do not extract single-use helpers preemptively. Inline the logic at the call site unless the helper is reused, hides a genuinely complex boundary, or has a clear independent name that improves the caller.
- Avoid
try/catchwhere possible - Avoid using the
anytype - Use Bun APIs when possible, like
Bun.file() - Rely on type inference when possible; avoid explicit type annotations or interfaces unless necessary for exports or clarity
- Prefer functional array methods (flatMap, filter, map) over for loops; use type guards on filter to maintain type inference downstream
- In
src/config, follow the existing self-export pattern at the top of the file (for exampleexport * as ConfigAgent from "./agent") when adding a new config module.
Reduce total variable count by inlining when a value is only used once.
// Good
const journal = await Bun.file(path.join(dir, "journal.json")).json()
// Bad
const journalPath = path.join(dir, "journal.json")
const journal = await Bun.file(journalPath).json()Avoid unnecessary destructuring. Use dot notation to preserve context.
// Good
obj.a
obj.b
// Bad
const { a, b } = objPrefer const over let. Use ternaries or early returns instead of reassignment.
// Good
const foo = condition ? 1 : 2
// Bad
let foo
if (condition) foo = 1
else foo = 2Avoid else statements. Prefer early returns.
// Good
function foo() {
if (condition) return 1
return 2
}
// Bad
function foo() {
if (condition) return 1
else return 2
}When a function has several validation branches or supporting details, make the main function read as the happy path and move supporting details into small helpers below it.
// Good
export function loadThing(input: unknown) {
const config = requireConfig(input)
const metadata = readMetadata(input)
return createThing({ config, metadata })
}
function requireConfig(input: unknown) {
...
}- Keep helpers close to the code they support, below the main export when that improves readability.
- Do not over-abstract simple expressions into many single-use helpers; extract only when it names a real concept like
requireConfigorreadMetadata. - Do not return
Effectfrom helpers unless they actually perform effectful work. Synchronous parsing, validation, and option building should stay synchronous. - Prefer Effect schema helpers such as
Schema.UnknownFromJsonStringandSchema.decodeUnknownOptionover manualJSON.parsewrapped inEffect.trywhen parsing untrusted JSON strings. - Add comments for non-obvious constraints and surprising behavior, not for obvious assignments or control flow.
Use snake_case for field names so column names don't need to be redefined as strings.
// Good
const table = sqliteTable("session", {
id: text().primaryKey(),
project_id: text().notNull(),
created_at: integer().notNull(),
})
// Bad
const table = sqliteTable("session", {
id: text("id").primaryKey(),
projectID: text("project_id").notNull(),
createdAt: integer("created_at").notNull(),
})- Avoid mocks as much as possible
- Test actual implementation, do not duplicate logic into tests
- Tests cannot run from repo root (guard:
do-not-run-tests-from-root); run from package dirs likepackages/opencode.
- Always run
bun typecheckfrom package directories (e.g.,packages/opencode), nevertscdirectly.
