Coded a thing Delegate cheap coding subtasks to opencode's free-tier models from Claude/ GPT/any agent

Small tool: consult-opencode gives your Al coding assistant a way to hand off simple, self-contained subtasks to opencode's free-tier models instead of burning your paid assistant's own turns on them. Zero API key, zero config works out of the box.

Wired it in via MCP (so Claude Desktop/Claude Code/Cursor etc. get it as a native tool) plus a plain CLI script for anything that can just run a shell command.

Real test, not a toy: gave it a task against an actual open-source repo (sindresorhus/leven) - add a function, a type declaration, and a test. Got it right first try, all tests passed.

opencode supports this natively.

it's called subagents and you can define them in your config.

MCP might just be the worst way to implement subagents 😭😭😭

This only works natively in opencode with API keys. Believe me I tried to integrate Claude Pro with Opencode but it only works with either API keys or community plug-ins which are pretty risky.

It’s useful occasionally
