• Sandbox Agent SDK provides a universal HTTP API for controlling Claude Code, Codex, Pi, and Amp
• Sandbox Agent SDK exposes an OpenCode-compatible endpoint so OpenCode can talk to any agent
• OpenCode connects to Sandbox Agent SDK via attach

OpenCode Models vs Gigacode Agents

• OpenCode supports switching between inference providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.). This is OpenCode talking directly to the models with its own tools, system prompts, and agentic loop.
• Gigacode automates other coding agent harnesses, so it's using the exact same logic that you would if you ran Claude Code, Codex, Pi, or Amp natively.

OpenCode (native):   Model → OpenCode's tool loop → result
Gigacode:            Model → Claude Code / Codex / Pi / Amp CLI → result

This means you get each agent's specialized capabilities (such as Claude Code's Read/Write/Bash tools, Codex's sandboxed execution, and Amp's permission rules) rather than a single tool loop with different models behind it.

Usage

TUI

Launch the OpenCode TUI with any coding agent:

gigacode

Web UI

Use the OpenCode Web UI to control any coding agent from the browser.

OpenCode SDK

Use the @opencode-ai/sdk to programmatically control any coding agent.
