opencode-setup-system

Installs, reselects, restores and removes a complete OpenCode harness configuration, and owns the program lifecycle.

A setup here is the complete harness state — the system-prompt components and the whole configuration — not a pointer to somewhere the content really lives. That is what makes restore mean something: it returns the instructions, skills, agents, commands, hooks, MCP entries and settings together, in one step.

Status: complete for the five core operations and the program lifecycle.

install, replace, backup, restore and remove all work, over the wire and from the local catalog.

The software lifecycle installs the product itself: a plan names the exact bytes offline, whoever holds the network fetches them, and apply verifies and installs with the network gone.

launch starts the exact executable that install placed, never a name found on PATH, and points the product at the target through the environment variable its own documentation names.

Using it

opencode-setup-system list
opencode-setup-system install baseline --target ~/.tool-config
opencode-setup-system status              --target ~/.tool-config
opencode-setup-system select minimal      --target ~/.tool-config
opencode-setup-system diff                --target ~/.tool-config
opencode-setup-system reinstall           --target ~/.tool-config
opencode-setup-system backups             --target ~/.tool-config
opencode-setup-system restore --backup slot-000000000002 --target ~/.tool-config
opencode-setup-system remove              --target ~/.tool-config

Every command takes an explicit --target. There is no default and no fallback to a configuration home: a change aimed at a guessed path is a change aimed at someone else's state. The documented home is printed by --help so it can be copied, not resolved.

A backup is captured before every change, so restore always has something to return to. restore with no reference means the most recent backup that existed when you asked — not the one the restore itself just took.

Selecting a setup reaches its complete state, not a merge. If the setup you leave owned a file the one you choose does not, that file goes. A target is always exactly one setup plus whatever this provider never claimed. A bundle arriving over the wire is materialized the same way, for the same reason.

Point OPENCODE_SETUP_SYSTEM_SETUP_CATALOG at a directory to use setups of your own.

What it manages

Product OpenCode (Anomaly)
Documented configuration home ~/.config/opencode
Environment override OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR
Configuration lifecycle owned
Program lifecycle owned

The configuration home above is documentation. Every mutation takes an explicit absolute --target; nothing is inferred from a home directory or the working directory.

The two surfaces

This is one binary with two callers.

Provider (ai-stp protocol v3). provider-info, validate-bundle, plan-operation, apply-operation, recover-operation, status, and launch where the capability is declared. The vocabulary is owned by provider-kit/v3/manifest.json, vendored here and verified against its SHA256SUMS.

Human. list, status, install, reinstall, select, backups, restore [--backup <ref>], remove, diff, and adopt where a target may still carry a stamp from the estate that came before this one.

Both go through crates/setup-core. A human command that reached the target directly would bypass the guarantees the wire surface owes its consumer, so it does not exist.

How a mutation is made safe

resolve target -> acquire lock -> re-check preconditions
  -> journal(prepared) -> capture backup -> stage -> promote
  -> journal(committed) -> verify -> clear

Each step is durable before the next begins, so an interrupted mutation leaves evidence rather than ambiguity:

  • a journal in prepared means the effect may be partial — recovery restores the exact pre-operation target;
  • a journal in committed means the effect is complete — recovery verifies the result and clears the tails.

While any journal, transaction directory or half-written backup slot is present, planning refuses with recovery_required instead of guessing. Only recover-operation may resolve that state.

Restore

restore with no reference restores the most recent backup. restore --backup <ref> restores a chosen one. Slots are numbered by a monotonic sequence rather than a timestamp, so "the last backup" does not change meaning when a clock does.

Installing

Linux and macOS:

sh install.sh

Windows:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File install.ps1

Each fetches the release artifact for this platform, checks it against the release's own SHA256SUMS, and places it at a predictable path: ~/.local/bin on Linux and macOS, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs on Windows. Neither needs privilege and neither registers anything anywhere.

Releases carry six binaries — Linux, macOS and Windows, on x86_64 and arm64 — which is what provider-info declares, so the declaration and what you can download say the same thing.

Pointing ai-stp at it

ai-stp does not search for a provider. Its resolve_executable requires a real file at a path the caller names and refuses without one, on the stated ground that it never writes a target itself. So the path is what an installer owes you, and you hand it over in full:

ai-stp provider conformance --harness opencode \
  --executable ~/.local/bin/opencode-setup-system \
  --target <dir> --protocol-version 3 --json

Building it yourself is equally supported and produces the same binary; a release is a convenience, not the authorised copy.

As a container

docker run --rm -v "$HOME/.config:/config" \
  ghcr.io/nddev-opennetwork/opencode-setup-system:0.0.2 \
  status --target /config/<dir> --json

Distroless and non-root, holding this binary and nothing else — no shell, no package manager. linux/amd64 and linux/arm64, built from the same artifacts the release carries rather than compiled again, so the attestation on the image and the attestation on the binary are true of the same bytes.

Building

cargo build --locked --all-targets
cargo test --locked --all-targets
cargo clippy --locked --all-targets -- -D warnings
cargo fmt --all --check

The toolchain is pinned in rust-toolchain.toml. CI runs the same commands on Linux, macOS and Windows.
