opencode, docked in your VS Code sidebar instead of buried in a terminal tab — drop in files, paste screenshots, click straight through to files and URLs in the output, and get pulled back the instant opencode needs you.
Features
Sidebar terminal — opencode runs in a real terminal (xterm.js + node-pty), docked in the sidebar and always one click away — no hunting through terminal tabs.
Paste support — paste text (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V, or right-click) as usual; paste a screenshot and it's saved to a temp file with the path typed in for you.
Drag & drop — drag a file straight into the terminal (hold Shift, a VS Code webview restriction) and its path is typed in.
Clickable links — Cmd/Ctrl-click a file path or URL in the terminal output and it opens immediately, no copy-pasting.
Theme sync — the terminal's colors track your active VS Code theme, live.
Shift+Enter for newlines — write multi-line prompts without accidentally submitting.
Live IDE context — every prompt is automatically enriched with the active file, cursor position, current selection, open tabs (with unsaved-changes warnings), and diagnostics, so opencode always knows exactly what you're looking at.
Session auto-resume — reopen the sidebar and pick up exactly where you left off.
Notifications — native OS notifications (Windows/macOS/Linux, no extra software required) tell you the moment opencode finishes or needs a permission — configurable independently, see Settings.
Requirements
opencode CLI installed and available on PATH (or configured via sbcOpenCode.agentPath).

Privacy
All context (active file, selection, diagnostics) is written to a local file and injected into your prompt by a plugin running inside the opencode CLI process directly on your machine. Nothing is sent anywhere by this extension itself.
