Cortension

Use OpenCode Without Rebuilding When the Best Model Changes

OpenCode is for people who want a coding agent setup that is not married to one model provider. We help you configure it around your real code work, choose the right model path, define the commands and review steps, and keep the workflow portable when the best model changes.

You do not need a finished OpenCode plan. Bring the work or model question. We show where OpenCode fits, which plugins and Skills matter, and what you can skip.

What our clients say

“Every morning I was burning hours browsing freelance platforms and writing tailored applications before I could touch billable work. Cortension set up an agent that knows my portfolio, filters for real fit, and drafts proposals the client wants to read. I got my mornings back and my win rate went up.”

“Cortension set me up with Hermes Agent and it completely changed how I work. It remembers my projects across sessions, auto generates skills the more I use it, and I can reach it from Telegram, Slack, wherever I am. One coaching session and the thing just runs.”

“With Claude Code and one cloud provider, Cortension helped us replace everything. Calendly, Shopify, analytics, email automation. All of it, built and owned by us. No more monthly fees stacking up, no more depending on tools that can change their pricing overnight.”

“Cortension showed me how to use Claude Code to build my own website, set up fully automated cold email outreach, and get everything running. I went from paying for a dozen SaaS tools every month to handling it all myself. No Calendly, no Mailchimp, no Webflow. Just Claude Code and one cloud account.”

Sound Familiar?

You Do Not Know OpenCode Yet and Want to Know if It Is Worth It or Right for You

OpenCode is less known than Claude Code or Codex. That is exactly why the question is not only how to install it. The question is whether it is worth it for your work, whether it fits you, and whether it gives you more freedom than the tools you already know.

You Want to Know What Works Before Losing Weeks

OpenCode is new enough that it is easy to get lost in wrong setups, unnecessary plugins, or the wrong model choice. We show you what has worked in practice, check your ideas with you, and help you decide where OpenCode really makes sense and where another path is better.

A Fresh Install Leaves Unnecessary Potential on the Table

The difference happens in the setup. Working with a fresh installation without Skills, custom MCP servers, plugins, project rules, and the right model choice leaves unnecessary potential unused. We show you which parts make sense for your case and set them up so OpenCode can do more than just run.

The Best AI Model Can Be Overtaken Fast

Today's best AI model may already be overtaken next week. If your setup is too strongly tied to one provider, you are exposed to new prices, rate limits, and vendor lock-in. We help you avoid that.

You Want Data Sovereignty Without Falling Behind Leading Models

Then you should not blindly install a local model. You need a clear decision: which model is strong enough, which data must stay under your control, whether fine tuning is worth it, and whether OpenCode fits at all. We check that with you and set up the sensible path.

What We Actually Do in a Session

Whether you are just starting, already have a concrete task, or want to improve your existing setup: we meet you where you are. We help you set the tool up sensibly, understand current best practices, and avoid unnecessary detours.

We Find Your Best Starting Point

You do not need to bring a perfect task. If you have one, we use it. If not, we look at your work, your tooling, and your goals, then choose the first useful use case.

We Do Not Just Set It Up. We Explain Why.

Installation alone is not the value. We show you which decisions matter: model, Skills, scripts, tool access, project rules, memory, review steps, and what you can leave out at the beginning.

We Bring Current Expert Knowledge

We know the new patterns, plugins, Skills, MCP servers, memory approaches, provider options, and common mistakes. You do not have to test everything yourself to get a good start.

We Build or Improve Your Real Setup

Fresh installation, existing setup, concrete task, or review of your workflow. We work directly on your case, not on a generic tutorial.

After One Session, You Know What Makes Sense and What You Can Skip

We set up, check, explain, and test as much as is realistically useful in 60 minutes. Afterwards, you know better which parts of your AI setup really matter and which ones you can ignore for now.

One Session. Working Setup.

Flat rate, no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

What people ask before booking an OpenCode setup session.

What is OpenCode useful for?

OpenCode is useful when you want a coding agent setup that is less tied to one closed ecosystem. The focus is code work: repo instructions, commands, tests, model choice, review flow, and a setup that can keep working even if your preferred model changes later.

How is OpenCode different from OpenClaw?

OpenCode is a coding agent setup: repo, commands, project rules, model choice, and review flow. OpenClaw is a broader open agent ecosystem: plugins, Skills, memory, tool connections, and more control over the whole agent environment. They are not the same thing, and we choose based on what you actually want done.

Why use OpenCode instead of Claude or Codex?

Because you may want a coding setup that can move between models more easily. Claude and Codex can be excellent, but they live in their own ecosystems. OpenCode is interesting when you want the coding workflow to survive model changes.

Can the setup stay flexible if I want to switch models later?

Yes. Some people want one stable model path. Others want the option to change when price, speed, quality, privacy, or access changes. We set up OpenCode so the coding workflow is not rebuilt from zero every time the model choice changes.

Can this replace tools I currently pay for?

Sometimes. Some subscriptions can be replaced with self-built, open source, or cloud based solutions that you control. We first look at what the tool actually does for you, then decide what should stay, what can be replaced, and where replacing it would add more complexity than value.

What should I bring to the session?

Bring one coding task or repo workflow: a bug, refactor, failing test, setup problem, documentation change, or repeated command flow. We configure OpenCode around that.

What do I leave with?

A working OpenCode setup around one real coding task, with project instructions, commands, permissions, review flow, written notes, and a recording.
