OpenCode AI Legacy Tutorial: Archived Terminal Agent Workflows and Migration to Crush
June 15, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
Learn from
opencode-ai/opencodearchitecture and workflows, and migrate safely to actively maintained successors.
Why This Track Matters
This repository is archived, but still useful as a reference for terminal-agent UX patterns, multi-provider model routing, and migration planning to maintained tools.
This track focuses on:
- understanding archived OpenCode behavior and capabilities
- operating legacy workflows safely when needed
- planning migration to Crush and related maintained stacks
- preserving useful patterns without carrying unbounded legacy risk
