Reported by Ben Matthews on Discord against v1.14.45: a `skills:` field
shaped as an array (rather than the schema's `{paths?, urls?}` object)
caused the entire config load to fail with ConfigInvalidError, the
server returned 500, and the desktop app couldn't start.
Per Kit:

This makes `ConfigParse.effectSchema` field-tolerant:
- Unknown top-level keys are stripped (with a warning log) instead of
throwing `unrecognized_keys`.
- Top-level fields whose value fails decoding are dropped (with a
warning log naming the field + the issue summary), the rest of the
config decodes normally.
- Root-level errors (e.g. data is not an object at all) and post-strip
failures still throw the original `InvalidError` so we don't silently
swallow truly broken configs.
Three new tests cover the reported shape (skills as array), unknown
keys, and multi-bad-field cases. Two existing tests that asserted the
strict-throw behavior were updated to the new tolerant contract.
Pre-fix: opencode unstartable for users with malformed configs.
Post-fix: opencode starts, the bad field is ignored, the user sees a
warning in the log naming what was dropped.

Agents
OpenCode includes two built-in agents you can switch between with the Tab key.
- build - Default, full-access agent for development work
- plan - Read-only agent for analysis and code exploration
- Denies file edits by default
- Asks permission before running bash commands
- Ideal for exploring unfamiliar codebases or planning changes
Also included is a general subagent for complex searches and multistep tasks.
This is used internally and can be invoked using @general in messages.

Building on OpenCode
If you are working on a project that's related to OpenCode and is using "opencode" as part of its name, for example "opencode-dashboard" or "opencode-mobile", please add a note to your README to clarify that it is not built by the OpenCode team and is not affiliated with us in any way.
FAQ
How is this different from Claude Code?
It's very similar to Claude Code in terms of capability. Here are the key differences:
- 100% open source
- Not coupled to any provider. Although we recommend the models we provide through OpenCode Zen, OpenCode can be used with Claude, OpenAI, Google, or even local models. As models evolve, the gaps between them will close and pricing will drop, so being provider-agnostic is important.
- Built-in opt-in LSP support
- A focus on TUI. OpenCode is built by neovim users and the creators of terminal.shop; we are going to push the limits of what's possible in the terminal.
- A client/server architecture. This, for example, can allow OpenCode to run on your computer while you drive it remotely from a mobile app, meaning that the TUI frontend is just one of the possible clients.
