Where OpenCode Fits in My Cursor Workflow—and Where It Does Not

Описание и применение

OpenCode помогает уменьшить переключения между терминалом и редактором, улучшая эргономику при работе с репозиториями, но не заменяет Cursor для визуального редактирования.

Задача

Frequent context switching between terminal and editor during repository exploration and small multi-file changes.

Результат

OpenCode reduces context switching and keystrokes for backend-heavy web tasks, improving ergonomics without replacing Cursor for visual UI editing.

Рабочий процесс

• Start OpenCode in the project directory using cd my-web-app opencode
• Configure model and provider in a minimal config.json
• Use OpenCode to explore the repo, generate dependency maps, or apply small changes
• Review the generated diff in Git
• Open Cursor for visual editing and interactive refinement
• Run the project’s normal checks

Доказательства

I keep the terminal open next to Cursor and use OpenCode for repository exploration, small multi-file changes, and test-driven fixes.

Источник

The workflow becomes: 1) Explore and plan in OpenCode. 2) Review the diff in Git. 3) Open Cursor for visual editing and interactive refinement. 4) Run the project’s normal checks.
