OpenCode integrates naturally into a Neovim/tmux workflow: a dedicated tmux split, the agent in one pane, your editor in the other. The client/server architecture lets you start OpenCode server-side and connect via SSH with no extra configuration. Full setup in 30 minutes.
Kilo Code CLI is a fork of OpenCode with Kilo Gateway on top. In practice, the TUI is identical, custom commands work the same, and migration took 15 minutes. The real difference: free models via the gateway change the workflow economics.
Claude Code is an excellent starting point — zero config, immediate quality. But Anthropic lock-in prevents optimizing costs per task, and restricting the Claude Code subscription in third-party tools forced the migration. OpenCode then Kilo Code CLI (its fork with free gateway) solve both without sacrificing quality.
