hive-opencode

Terminal bridge for OpenCode in the hive ecosystem. Spawns and manages OpenCode sessions inside Emacs vterm buffers (or any terminal host) with hive-mcp wired in as an MCP server.

What it does

• Bridge — Spawn OpenCode processes in vterm buffers, manage lifecycle (spawn/kill/send/status)
• Config — Generate per-session .opencode.json with hive-mcp and custom MCP servers wired in
• Tools — Emacs-native tools exposed to OpenCode (buffer inspection, elisp eval, window layout, project files, git status)
• Swarm integration — API entry point compatible with hive-mcp swarm spawn conventions

Architecture

Written in ClojureElisp (cljel) — Clojure syntax compiled to Emacs Lisp.

src/cljel/opencode_emacs/
  bridge.cljel  — Core spawn/kill/send/status + swarm API
  config.cljel  — .opencode.json generation with hive-mcp wiring
  tools.cljel   — Buffer, eval, window, project, git tools

Compiled output lands in out/.

Build

make compile    # Compile cljel -> elisp
make watch      # Watch mode
make clean      # Remove compiled output

Requires the clel CLI from clojure-elisp.

Why "hive-opencode" not "opencode-emacs"?

OpenCode supports opencode serve + opencode attach which works over any terminal (tmux, kitty, etc.). The cljel files are the Emacs-specific implementation, but the project scope is broader than just Emacs.
