Deep research comparison of oh-my-opencode (OpenCode IDE plugin with multi-agent orchestration) and GitHub Agentic Workflows (GitHub Actions-based automation platform).

Analysis Scope

50,000+ word comprehensive comparison across 17 dimensions:

  • Architecture: Local multi-agent IDE vs cloud-based event-driven workflows
  • Multi-agent coordination: Native parallel agents (Sisyphus, Oracle, Frontend Engineer, Librarian) vs single-agent per workflow run
  • Tool ecosystems: LSP/AST-Grep (25+ languages) vs GitHub MCP/Safe Outputs
  • Security models: User-managed local permissions vs sandboxed strict mode with threat detection
  • State management: Persistent stateful sessions vs stateless ephemeral runs
  • Use cases: Individual developer productivity vs team/org repository automation

Key Findings

The platforms are complementary, not competitive:

Dimension oh-my-opencode GitHub Agentic Workflows
Execution Local IDE (OpenCode) GitHub Actions (cloud)
Agents 5+ parallel specialized agents 1 agent per workflow run
State Persistent across sessions Stateless, event-triggered
Tools IDE-quality (LSP, AST-Grep) GitHub-native (MCP, Safe Outputs)
Security User permissions, local control Sandboxed, read-only default, validation
Target Individual developers Teams, orgs, CI/CD

Recommendations

  • Use oh-my-opencode for: Large-scale refactoring, multi-component development, interactive debugging, rapid feature implementation
  • Use gh-aw for: Issue/PR automation, security scanning, scheduled reports, team workflows, compliance
  • Use both together: Local development acceleration + secure CI/CD automation

Cross-Pollination Opportunities

gh-aw could adopt: Multi-agent coordination patterns, LSP/AST-Grep integration, checkpoint/resume for long workflows

oh-my-opencode could adopt: Strict mode security, safe output validation, threat detection, network isolation, audit logging

Document follows existing spec format (see mdflow-comparison.md, gastown.md) with comparison matrices, architecture diagrams, and detailed feature breakdowns.
