Opportunities — the stories that would move this product's scores, from its own judged verdictsOpportunitiestop 8 of 46 stories with headroom
What would move OpenCode’s scores — derived from its own judged verdicts, biggest headroom first. Each line quotes what the judge found missing; shipping it (or evidencing it publicly) is the fix.
Code generation — quality of generated code — correctness, style, fit to the codebaseReceive inline code completions and next-edit suggestions as I type
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
OpenCode is presented as an agent-driven terminal/desktop/IDE-extension tool that responds to explicit prompts, runs agents, and edits files via chat-like sessions — there is no mention of inline ghost-text completions or next-edit suggestions as the developer types.
Openness — open source, data portability, and self-hosting storiesExport all of my data in open formats and leave
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
No evidence describes an explicit data-export feature or open-format portability guarantee for OpenCode; while it is open-source and stores config/sessions locally, there's no documented 'export all my data and leave' capability, and community threads even note telemetry sent to OpenCode's own servers with no way to disable it (opencode-comm-2), undercutting a clean data-portability story.
Privacy posture — data-handling and privacy storiesPrevent my data from being used to train AI models
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 30
The evidence pack contains no documentation of any setting, policy, or opt-out mechanism for preventing user data/code from being used to train AI models (OpenCode's docs focus on providers, agents, permissions, IDE integration, etc., none addressing training-data usage).
Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productSubscribe to events via webhooks
nonemoves agent-readyimpact 30
Evidence shows OpenCode has a headless server (`opencode serve`) exposing an OpenAPI/HTTP endpoint and an SDK for programmatic control, but there is no mention anywhere of webhook subscriptions or event-push notifications that clients could register for.
Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productRely on versioned APIs with a documented deprecation policy
nonemoves API qualityimpact 30
OpenCode does expose programmatic surfaces (the JS/TS SDK, `opencode serve` HTTP server, and an OpenAPI spec at openapi.json), so an API-versioning/deprecation-policy axis is applicable.
Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productIssue scoped/least-privilege API credentials for an agent
partialq3/10moves agent-readyimpact 21
Missing: explicit scoped API-key/credential issuance for agents, credential expiry/rotation, per-agent key scoping documentation, independent verification of this capability.
Agenticness — how well agents can access and operate the productExplore an interactive API reference with runnable examples
partialq3/10moves API qualityimpact 21

Autonomy agents — stories about autonomy agents in this arenaSet up always-on agents that run on schedules or triggers to maintain and fix my software autonomously
nonemoves PA Scoreimpact 20
Missing: scheduled/cron-based agent runs, event-driven triggers beyond manual mentions, autonomous 'always-on' background maintenance capability.
