docs: clarify OpenCode integration (#1317)

## Description

Clarifies the OpenCode documentation follow-up for PR #1105 so users can
install `headroom-opencode`, configure provider routing, use the native
plugin, and copy working retrieve/compression helper examples.

## Type of Change

- [x] Documentation update
- [ ] Bug fix
- [ ] New feature
- [ ] Breaking change

## Changes Made

- Documented how `headroom wrap opencode` wires provider config, MCP
tools, and runtime environment.
- Documented the native `HeadroomPlugin` path, `HEADROOM_PROXY_URL`,
retrieve tooling, and programmatic config helpers.
- Fixed `plugins/opencode/README.md` examples so `compressWithHeadroom`
uses the exported options-object API and `headroom_retrieve` uses
`hash`.

## Testing

- [x] Type checks pass.
- [x] Unit tests pass.
- [x] Whitespace check passes.

### Test Output

```text
plugins/opencode: npm run typecheck
> tsc --noEmit

plugins/opencode: npm test
Test Files  2 passed (2)
Tests  9 passed (9)

docs: npm run types:check
✓ Types generated successfully

repo: git diff --check
(no output)
```

## Real Behavior Proof

- Environment: Local macOS worktree at
`docs/pr-1105-documentation-followup`, Node/npm project commands run
from `plugins/opencode` and `docs`.
- Exact command / steps: Updated the README snippets, ran `npm run
typecheck`, reran `npm test` with elevated permissions after the sandbox
blocked a local `127.0.0.1` listener, ran `npm run types:check` in
`docs`, and ran `git diff --check`.
- Observed result: Typecheck completed with `tsc --noEmit`; the OpenCode
package test suite reported 2 files and 9 tests passed; docs type
generation completed successfully; `git diff --check` produced no
output.
- Not tested: Browser-rendered documentation preview. `docs: npm run
build` was started locally but produced no output for roughly 90 seconds
and was stopped, so this follow-up does not claim a fresh local docs
build result.

## Review Readiness

- [x] I have performed a self-review
- [x] This PR is ready for human review

## Additional Notes

- The linked review comment asked for README examples to match
`compressWithHeadroom(messages, options)` and
`createHeadroomRetrieveTool` requiring `hash`; both snippets now match
the exported API.

description: Route OpenCode traffic through Headroom for token compression, MCP tools, and cached model access. One command to wrap, one to unwrap.
---
Use `headroom wrap opencode` to route all OpenCode LLM traffic through the Headroom proxy with a single command. The proxy compresses context, injects MCP tools, and routes API calls to your configured backend.
Use `headroom wrap opencode` to route OpenCode LLM traffic through the Headroom proxy with a single command. The wrapper starts or reuses the proxy, writes OpenCode config, injects Headroom MCP tools, adds RTK context filtering, and launches OpenCode with the generated config.
## Quick start
The `headroom-opencode` npm package also exports a native OpenCode plugin. The plugin can be used directly from OpenCode config when you want in-process transport interception plus the Headroom retrieve tool.
## Quick Start
```bash
headroom wrap opencode
```
This starts the Headroom proxy, injects a `headroom` provider into OpenCode's config, registers Headroom MCP tools, sets up RTK context filtering, and launches OpenCode through the proxy.
When you're done:
When you are done:
```bash
headroom unwrap opencode
```
## What `wrap opencode` does
## What `wrap opencode` Does
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| Provider injection | Writes a `headroom` provider using `@ai-sdk/openai-compatible` into `opencode.json`, pointing at `http://127.0.0.1:<port>/v1` |
| Runtime env | Sets `OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT` with provider + model + MCP config so OpenCode picks up the proxy provider at launch |
| Provider compatibility | Leaves `OPENAI_BASE_URL` and `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` untouched so OpenCode `/connect` providers keep their own routing |
| Context tool | Injects RTK (or `lean-ctx`) instructions into `~/.config/opencode/AGENTS.md` and project `AGENTS.md` |
| MCP setup | Registers the Headroom MCP server (`headroom_compress`, `headroom_retrieve`, `headroom_stats`) |
| Serena MCP | Optionally registers Serena code graph tools (`--no-serena` to skip) |
| Backup | Snapshots `opencode.json` to `opencode.json.headroom-backup` before making any changes |
| Launch | Starts the `opencode` binary through the proxy |
| Proxy | Starts the Headroom proxy unless `--no-proxy` is set |
| Provider config | Writes a `headroom` provider using `@ai-sdk/openai-compatible` into `opencode.json` and `OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT` |
| Runtime env | Sets `OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT` so OpenCode reads provider, model, and MCP config at launch |
| Provider compatibility | Leaves `OPENAI_BASE_URL` and `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` untouched so `/connect` providers keep their own routing |
| Context tool | Injects RTK or `lean-ctx` instructions into OpenCode AGENTS files |
| MCP setup | Registers Headroom MCP tools: `headroom_compress`, `headroom_retrieve`, and `headroom_stats` |
| Serena MCP | Optionally registers Serena code graph tools. Use `--no-serena` to skip it |
| Backup | Snapshots `opencode.json` to `opencode.json.headroom-backup` before changing it |
| Launch | Starts the `opencode` binary with the generated config |
## Options
```bash
headroom wrap opencode \
--port 8787 \ # Proxy port (default: random available port)

## Provider model mapping
## Provider Model Mapping
The `headroom` provider exposes these models, all routed through the proxy:
The generated `headroom` provider exposes these models through the proxy:
| Provider model | Upstream model |
|---|---|
| `headroom/claude-sonnet-4-6` | Claude Sonnet 4.6 (200K context, 16K output) |
| `headroom/claude-opus-4-6` | Claude Opus 4.6 (200K context, 16K output) |
| `headroom/claude-haiku-4-5-20251001` | Claude Haiku 4.5 (200K context, 8K output) |
| `headroom/gpt-4o` | GPT-4o (128K context, 16K output) |
| `headroom/gpt-4.1` | GPT-4.1 (1M context, 32K output) |

| `headroom/gpt-4o` | GPT-4o, 128K context, 16K output |
| `headroom/gpt-4.1` | GPT-4.1, 1M context, 32K output |
The default model is `headroom/claude-sonnet-4-6`. Change it in `opencode.json` or via `OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT`.

@ -88,33 +88,67 @@ Provider scope is also supported:

```
## How it works under the hood
## Native OpenCode Plugin
1. **Config injection** — The wrap command writes a `provider.headroom` block into `opencode.json`. The provider uses the `@ai-sdk/openai-compatible` npm package, which OpenCode already supports natively. Model mappings route requests through `http://127.0.0.1:<port>/v1`.
The `headroom-opencode` package exports `HeadroomPlugin` for direct OpenCode plugin registration. The plugin installs Headroom transport interception inside OpenCode, exposes the `headroom_retrieve` tool, and publishes Headroom metadata through the OpenCode plugin output env.
2. **Runtime config** — `OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT` is set as an env var containing the full provider + model + MCP JSON. OpenCode reads this at startup and merges it with the on-disk config.
Example:
3. **MCP tools** — Three Headroom MCP tools are registered: `headroom_compress` (compress context), `headroom_retrieve` (fetch original from CCR store), `headroom_stats` (compression statistics).
```ts
import { HeadroomPlugin } from "headroom-opencode";
4. **Unwrap** — Restores `opencode.json` from the pre-wrap backup. If no backup exists, strips Headroom marker blocks from the config. Also unregisters Headroom MCP servers.
export default async function plugin(input) {
return HeadroomPlugin(input, {
proxyUrl: process.env.HEADROOM_PROXY_URL ?? "http://127.0.0.1:8787",
});
}
```
## Optional OpenCode plugin
Use this plugin when OpenCode should intercept provider traffic in-process. Use `headroom wrap opencode` when you want the CLI to manage the proxy, config injection, MCP registration, backups, and unwrap behavior.
The `headroom-opencode` npm package also exports an OpenCode plugin. The plugin
is additive: it exposes the `headroom_retrieve` tool and Headroom metadata such
as `HEADROOM_PROXY_URL`, but it does not route provider traffic by itself.
## Programmatic Config Helpers
Provider traffic is still routed by the injected `headroom` provider in
`OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT` or `opencode.json`. This keeps providers configured
through OpenCode `/connect` in charge of their own credentials and base URLs.
The package also exports helpers for custom integrations:
```ts
import {
buildOpencodeConfigContent,
createHeadroomProvider,
createHeadroomRetrieveTool,
} from "headroom-opencode";
const provider = createHeadroomProvider({ proxyPort: 8787 });
const config = buildOpencodeConfigContent({
proxyPort: 8787,
defaultModel: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
});
const retrieve = createHeadroomRetrieveTool({
proxyBaseUrl: "http://127.0.0.1:8787",
});
```
## How It Works Under The Hood
1. **Config injection**. The wrapper writes a `provider.headroom` block into `opencode.json`. The provider uses `@ai-sdk/openai-compatible`, which OpenCode supports natively. Model mappings route requests through `http://127.0.0.1:<port>/v1`.
2. **Runtime config**. `OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT` is set as an env var containing the full provider, model, and MCP JSON. OpenCode reads it at startup and merges it with on-disk config.
3. **MCP tools**. Headroom registers `headroom_compress`, `headroom_retrieve`, and `headroom_stats` unless `--no-mcp` is set.
4. **Native plugin path**. `HeadroomPlugin` installs Headroom transport interception and uses `HEADROOM_PROXY_URL` or `http://127.0.0.1:8787` to reach the proxy.
5. **Unwrap**. `headroom unwrap opencode` restores `opencode.json` from the pre-wrap backup when present, strips Headroom marker blocks when no backup exists, and unregisters Headroom MCP servers.
## Troubleshooting
**OpenCode doesn't use the headroom provider.**
Check that `OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT` is set and contains the correct provider block. The wrap command prints the env vars it sets.
**OpenCode does not use the headroom provider.**
Check that `OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT` is set and contains the `provider.headroom` block. The wrap command prints the env vars it sets.
**The native plugin cannot reach Headroom.**
Set `HEADROOM_PROXY_URL` to the running proxy URL, for example `http://127.0.0.1:8787`.
**Provider not found after unwrap.**
If unwrap left the provider configured, run `headroom unwrap opencode` again, or manually restore from `~/.config/opencode/opencode.json.headroom-backup`.
**Proxy port conflict.**
Use `--port` to select a specific port, or let the proxy auto-select an available one.

# headroom-opencode
Headroom proxy integration for [OpenCode](https://opencode.ai). Routes LLM traffic through the Headroom proxy for token compression, provides CCR retrieval, and handles provider configuration.
OpenCode integration helpers for Headroom. The package supports two integration paths:
1. Provider config helpers used by `headroom wrap opencode` and persistent installs.
2. A native OpenCode plugin that installs Headroom transport interception and exposes the retrieve tool.
## Install
@ -8,119 +11,97 @@ Headroom proxy integration for [OpenCode](https://opencode.ai). Routes LLM traff
npm install headroom-opencode
```
## Quick start
## Provider Config Helpers
### Create a Headroom provider for opencode.json
Use these helpers when you need to generate OpenCode config that routes a `headroom` provider through a running Headroom proxy.
```ts
import { createHeadroomProvider } from "headroom-opencode";
import {
buildOpencodeConfigContent,
createHeadroomProvider,
} from "headroom-opencode";
const provider = createHeadroomProvider({
proxyPort: 8787,
});
// Write to opencode.json:
// {
// "provider": { "headroom": provider },
// "model": "headroom/claude-sonnet-4-6"
// }
```
### Build OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT
```ts
import { buildOpencodeConfigContentJson } from "headroom-opencode";
const json = buildOpencodeConfigContentJson({
const provider = createHeadroomProvider({ proxyPort: 8787 });
const config = buildOpencodeConfigContent({
proxyPort: 8787,
defaultModel: "claude-sonnet-4-6",
});
// Set as env var: process.env.OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT = json;
console.log(provider.provider.headroom.npm);
console.log(config.model);
```
### Compress messages through the proxy
The generated provider uses `@ai-sdk/openai-compatible` and points model requests at `http://127.0.0.1:<port>/v1`.
## Native OpenCode Plugin
Use `HeadroomPlugin` when OpenCode should intercept provider traffic in-process and expose Headroom tooling from a plugin.
```ts
import { compressWithHeadroom } from "headroom-opencode";
import { HeadroomPlugin } from "headroom-opencode";
const result = await compressWithHeadroom(messages, {
model: "gpt-4o",
proxyUrl: "http://localhost:8787",
});
console.log(`Saved ${result.tokensSaved} tokens`);
export default async function plugin(input) {
return HeadroomPlugin(input, {
proxyUrl: process.env.HEADROOM_PROXY_URL ?? "http://127.0.0.1:8787",
});
}
```
### CCR retrieve tool
`HeadroomPlugin`:
- installs Headroom transport interception for OpenCode provider traffic.
- exposes the `headroom_retrieve` tool.
- publishes `HEADROOM_PROXY_URL` in the plugin output env.
- defaults to `http://127.0.0.1:8787` when no proxy URL is supplied.
## Retrieve Tool
```ts
import { createHeadroomRetrieveTool } from "headroom-opencode";
const retrieveTool = createHeadroomRetrieveTool({
proxyBaseUrl: "http://localhost:8787",
const retrieve = createHeadroomRetrieveTool({
proxyBaseUrl: "http://127.0.0.1:8787",
});
// Register in OpenCode's MCP config under mcp.headroom_retrieve
const result = await retrieve.execute({
hash: "0123456789abcdef01234567",
query: "needle",
});
```
## API
The tool calls `/v1/retrieve/<hash>` on the Headroom proxy.
### `createHeadroomProvider(options?)`
## Compression Helper
Creates a provider object compatible with OpenCode's `@ai-sdk/openai-compatible` format.
```ts
import { compressWithHeadroom } from "headroom-opencode";
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `proxyBaseUrl` | `http://127.0.0.1:8787` | Full proxy base URL |
| `proxyPort` | `8787` | Proxy port (ignored if proxyBaseUrl is set) |
| `models` | See below | Custom model mappings |
| `defaultModel` | `claude-sonnet-4-6` | Default model ID |
const result = await compressWithHeadroom(
[{ role: "user", content: "Summarize this file" }],
{ model: "gpt-4o", proxyUrl: "http://127.0.0.1:8787" },
);
### `buildOpencodeConfigContent(options?)`
console.log(`Saved ${result.tokensSaved} tokens`);
```
Returns a full `OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT` JSON object with provider and model.
## Models
### `buildOpencodeConfigContentJson(options?)`
Same as above but returns a JSON string ready for the `OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT` env var.
### `compressWithHeadroom(messages, options?)`
Compresses an array of messages through the Headroom proxy. Returns compression stats and compressed messages.
### `createHeadroomRetrieveTool(config)`
Creates a CCR retrieve tool for OpenCode's MCP system.
### `setDefaultProxyUrl(url)` / `getDefaultProxyUrl()`
Set or get the default proxy URL for all operations. Defaults to `HEADROOM_BASE_URL` env var or `http://localhost:8787`.
## Default models
| Model ID | Context | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Model | Context | Output |
|---|---:|---:|
| `claude-sonnet-4-6` | 200K | 16K |
| `claude-opus-4-6` | 200K | 16K |
| `claude-haiku-4-5-20251001` | 200K | 8K |
| `gpt-4o` | 128K | 16K |
| `gpt-4.1` | 1M | 32K |
## OpenCode plugin
The provider config exposes these as `headroom/<model>` and defaults to `headroom/claude-sonnet-4-6`.
The package default export is an OpenCode plugin. It adds a `headroom_retrieve`
tool and Headroom metadata for shell commands:
## Environment
```json
{
"plugin": [["headroom-opencode", { "proxyUrl": "http://127.0.0.1:8787" }]]
}
```
The plugin does not set `OPENAI_BASE_URL` or `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`. Model traffic
is routed by the `headroom` provider config generated by
`buildOpencodeConfigContent` or `headroom wrap opencode`.
| Variable | Used by | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `HEADROOM_PROXY_URL` | Native plugin | Proxy URL used by `HeadroomPlugin` |
| `OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT` | OpenCode wrapper | Generated OpenCode provider, model, and MCP config |
