What is it?
opencode.nvim is a Neovim plugin for working with OpenCode, an AI coding agent. It connects to a running OpenCode server, or starts one in a terminal, and lets you send prompts that automatically include editor context such as the cursor position, a selection, the current buffer, diagnostics, quickfix entries, or visible text.
The plugin uses standard Neovim interfaces: an input prompt with completion and highlighting, a picker for built-in and custom prompts, operators for sending ranges with dot-repeat, and commands for running OpenCode commands. Edits made by OpenCode reload in open buffers, and permission requests show proposed changes in a side-by-side diff where you can accept or reject whole edits or individual hunks.
OpenCode server events are forwarded as Neovim autocmds, so you can react to session status changes or other events in your own configuration. Setup examples cover lazy.nvim, vim.pack, and nixvim, with optional integrations for snacks.nvim, blink.cmp, and lualine.
