opencode, docked in your VS Code sidebar instead of buried in a terminal tab — drop in files, paste screenshots, click straight through to files and URLs in the output, and get pulled back the instant opencode needs you.
Features
- Session tabs — run multiple opencode sessions side by side in a VS Code-style tab strip: your existing sessions show up as tabs with their titles, the + button starts a fresh one, double-clicking a tab lets you rename it, and closing a tab deletes its session. (Renaming updates the tab and opencode's own session list immediately, but a session's already-running TUI keeps showing the old name in its own
/sessionscommand until that session is restarted — opencode has no rename command/notification of its own yet.) - Sidebar terminal — opencode runs in a real terminal (xterm.js + node-pty), docked in the sidebar and always one click away — no hunting through terminal tabs.
- Paste support — paste text (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V, or right-click) as usual; paste a screenshot and it's saved to a temp file with the path typed in for you.
- Drag & drop — drag a file straight into the terminal (hold Shift, a VS Code webview restriction) and its path is typed in.
- Clickable links — Cmd/Ctrl-click a file path or URL in the terminal output and it opens immediately, no copy-pasting.
- Theme sync — the terminal's colors track your active VS Code theme, live.
- Shift+Enter for newlines — write multi-line prompts without accidentally submitting.
- Live IDE context — every prompt is automatically enriched with the active file, cursor position, current selection, open tabs (with unsaved-changes warnings), and diagnostics, so opencode always knows exactly what you're looking at.
- Session auto-resume — reopen the sidebar and pick up exactly where you left off.
- Notifications — native OS notifications (Windows/macOS/Linux, no extra software required) tell you the moment opencode finishes or needs a permission — configurable independently, see Settings.
Requirements
- opencode CLI installed and available on
PATH(or configured viasbcOpenCode.agentPath).

Privacy
All context (active file, selection, diagnostics) is written to a local file and injected into your prompt by a plugin running inside the opencode CLI process directly on your machine. Nothing is sent anywhere by this extension itself.
