Claude Code is powerful, but it locks you into one provider and one bill. OpenCode is the open source alternative that gives you the same agentic workflow with any model you want — including completely free ones. In this walkthrough you'll go from install to advanced workflows: agent skills for better output, subagents that protect your context window, memory files that keep the agent on your rules, and automated browser testing.
Together we build a full AI project planner and let the agent test it in a real browser — without me touching a thing. You'll also see why I never pay per token, and the one file that instantly fixes an agent that won't listen.
