Strong

OpenCode is an open-source terminal agent with a stated install script, so day one does not start in a docs hunt. The homepage says free models are included. The v2 docs state /connect for a provider, and OpenCode Go at $10/month. It reads AGENTS.md. The docs name skills, MCP, and permissions. Prompts go to the provider you connect. The project says it does not store your code or context. Scored 7 because the install path is real and the free-model limits are not stated. That is Strong, not a higher band.

FixName the free models and the $10/month OpenCode Go plan as the project's figures. Run /connect before relying on a specific model.
