Use an open-source terminal coding agent with selectable providers and explicit plan/build workflows.
OpenCode is a terminal-focused AI coding agent. It suits developers who prefer a command-line project workflow and want to connect a supported provider rather than rely on one bundled model. A productive first session is an explanation and plan for a narrow task, followed by a reviewed build. Read project instructions and establish expected behavior before requesting edits. The software is open source, while provider inference and optional hosted services have their own charges. A graphical editor assistant may be easier when your review process depends on visual inline editing.
