If you want to try a good coding agent with nice UI/UX - opencode is really solid right now. Fast, simple, and it reads all your Claude config and plugins out of the box. It can consolidate all your subscriptions: Claude Code, xAI, Z.AI, GitHub Copilot, Codex, OpenRouter, ... seamlessly switch between all of the models + plus some free Zen models from their own provider.

You can save and share sessions - handy when you want to show someone how you solved something. They also have a native web UI now.

I suggest trying oh-my-opencode - it adds some powerful workflows on top of opencode:

  • Sisyphus agent - an orchestrator (Opus 4.6) that "keeps the boulder rolling" through autonomous task completion. It uses subagents, background parallel execution, and won't stop until tasks are actually finished
  • Multi-model orchestration - coordinates GPT-5.2, Gemini, and Claude by specialized purpose
  • Background parallelization - runs exploration and research tasks async while main work continues
  • Magic word ultrawork - add this to your prompt and it activates maximum orchestration: parallel agents, background tasks, deep exploration, relentless execution

Vibe from anywhere: opencode can also run headless on a remote machine (VM/CI runner/container) and your local CLI connects as a client. Handy for offloading heavy workloads to a beefy VM while you work from a laptop.
