Install OpenCode and CLIProxyAPI

This is the practical install path for the setup currently documented in this repository: CLIProxyAPI as a local OpenAI-compatible endpoint in front of OpenCode. That said, OpenCode can also be used with direct providers such as opencode and opencode-go.

If your goal is specifically to place several Codex accounts behind one stable endpoint and let a proxy distribute requests, cliproxyapi is the right layer to add.

Prerequisites

macOS (Apple Silicon / arm64)
Homebrew
Node.js 22+ with npm

Helpful local CLI tools for `oh-my-openagent`

These are not required for OpenCode itself to launch, but they are very useful for oh-my-openagent workflows because they improve local search and structural code navigation.

Install `ripgrep` and `ast-grep`

brew install ripgrep ast-grep

Why these help

ripgrep (rg) — very fast text search across the repo
ast-grep (sg) — syntax-aware structural code search

These tools are especially useful when agents or workflows rely on grep-style exploration, pattern discovery, and codebase-wide inspection.

Step 1: Install CLIProxyAPI

CLIProxyAPI wraps upstream providers into one local API endpoint that OpenCode can call.

brew install cliproxyapi

Step 2: Configure CLIProxyAPI

Edit /opt/homebrew/etc/cliproxyapi.conf and set at least these values.

API keys for local clients

api-keys:
  - "your-api-key-1"
  - "your-api-key-2"

Management panel secret

remote-management:
  allow-remote: false
  secret-key: "your-management-password-here"
  disable-control-panel: false
  panel-github-repository: "https://github.com/router-for-me/Cli-Proxy-API-Management-Center"

After startup, the panel is available at:

http://localhost:8317/

Enable usage statistics aggregation

This is optional. Enable it if you want CLIProxyAPI to aggregate in-memory usage statistics:

usage-statistics-enabled: true

Default in the upstream example config is false.

Full `cliproxyapi.conf` reference

If you want a complete baseline instead of a minimal snippet, this is the current working reference pattern:

host: ""
port: 8317

tls:
  enable: false
  cert: ""
  key: ""

remote-management:
  allow-remote: false
  secret-key: "your-management-password-here"
  disable-control-panel: false
  panel-github-repository: "https://github.com/router-for-me/Cli-Proxy-API-Management-Center"

auth-dir: "~/.cli-proxy-api"

api-keys:
  - "your-api-key-1"
  - "your-api-key-2"
  - "your-api-key-3"

debug: false

# Optional: enable in-memory usage statistics aggregation
usage-statistics-enabled: true

request-retry: 3
max-retry-credentials: 0
max-retry-interval: 30

quota-exceeded:
  switch-project: true
  switch-preview-model: true

routing:
  strategy: "round-robin"

# After running `cliproxyapi -codex-login`, Codex credentials are stored
# in ~/.cli-proxy-api/ and models become available automatically.
# No codex-api-key section is needed for OAuth-based login.

Step 3: Authenticate Codex / OpenAI

Recommended:

cliproxyapi -codex-login

For headless environments:

cliproxyapi -codex-device-login

Step 4: Start the service

brew services start cliproxyapi

Useful service commands:

brew services restart cliproxyapi
brew services stop cliproxyapi
brew services list | grep cliproxyapi

Step 5: Verify models are visible

curl -s http://localhost:8317/v1/models \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer your-api-key-1" | python3 -m json.tool

If login worked, you should see GPT-5.x models in the response.

Step 6: Install OpenCode

curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash

Verify the binary:

opencode --version

Step 7: Install the oh-my-openagent plugin dependency

The upstream project is now called oh-my-openagent, but the package and config names still commonly use the legacy oh-my-opencode naming.

mkdir -p ~/.config/opencode
npm --prefix ~/.config/opencode init -y
npm --prefix ~/.config/opencode install @opencode-ai/plugin

Your ~/.config/opencode/package.json should include the plugin dependency, for example:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@opencode-ai/plugin": "1.2.26"
  }
}

Step 8: Install optional extensions

Superpowers

Inside OpenCode, use:

Fetch and follow instructions from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/obra/superpowers/refs/heads/main/.opencode/INSTALL.md

Manual alternative:

git clone https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git /tmp/superpowers
cp -r /tmp/superpowers/.opencode your-project/

What Superpowers adds:

brainstorming support
structured implementation planning
subagent-driven development
TDD-oriented workflow guidance
systematic debugging and code review patterns

Verification tip: start a fresh OpenCode session and ask for help planning a feature. The skills should auto-trigger if installation worked.

Impeccable

If you care about UI polish and frontend prompts, install it from the OpenCode package provided by the project:

Repository-based install:

git clone https://github.com/pbakaus/impeccable.git /tmp/impeccable
cp -r /tmp/impeccable/dist/opencode/.opencode your-project/

Useful commands once installed include /audit, /normalize, /polish, /distill, and targeted variants like /audit header.

What to do next

Once installation is done, continue with Configure providers, agents, and models.
