v1.0.1
Chat Sidebar for OpenCode 1.0.1
Chat Sidebar for OpenCode is a VS Code sidebar chat extension that drives your locally installed opencode through its official headless server and SDK — a Codex/Cursor-grade GUI chat panel without leaving your editor.
一個掛在 VS Code 側邊欄的聊天面板,透過官方 headless 伺服器驅動你本機安裝的 opencode——不離開編輯器,就有 Codex/Cursor 等級的聊天體驗。
Highlights
- Chat-first sidebar — multi-session chat with a slide-in session drawer, plus a native stacked Sessions view
- Streaming chat — markdown + syntax highlighting, collapsible reasoning ("Thinking") parts, and generic tool-call cards that render any tool name
- Composer — Enter to send, per-session drafts, stop/abort, text + image +
@-mention attachments, warn-before-send on sensitive paths - Slash commands & pickers — builtin and custom commands, per-session agent and model pickers
- Inline approvals — permission and question cards right in the conversation; nothing is auto-answered
- Todos & diffs dock — todo list and per-message diffs in VS Code's native diff editor
- Message ops — revert/unrevert, regenerate, summarize/compact, shell command, export transcripts
- Token usage strip, status-bar server controls, editor Attach selection / Attach file, and an Open opencode TUI escape hatch
- MCP panel and capability detection that adapts the UI to older opencode servers — works with and without oh-my-opencode
- Bilingual UI (English / 繁體中文) following VS Code's display language, with an in-app override that hot-swaps every open panel
Requirements

PATH(or setopencodeChatSidebar.binaryPath) - At least one LLM provider configured in opencode (auth lives in opencode; the extension never sees your API keys)
