Set up and use OpenCode for agentic coding workflows with free AI models

Build a basic Next.js app using OpenCode, AI agents, and structured prompts

Create project rules, agent skills, and custom agents to guide AI coding tasks

Use MCP and better planning techniques to get stronger results from free models

Requirements

You will need a computer that can run a code editor, Node.js, and OpenCode.

No paid AI model subscription is required for this course. We will use free AI models throughout the project.

Basic jаvascript, React, or Next.js knowledge is helpful, but you do not need to be an advanced developer.

Description

This course teaches you how to use OpenCode from the ground up.You will learn how to set up OpenCode, understand the interface, work with AI coding agents, create project rules, use agent skills, connect tools with MCP, and build a basic Next.js application using free AI models only.The goal is not just to show you how to press buttons and hope the AI gets everything right.The goal is to teach you a practical workflow for using agentic coding tools properly.You will learn how to break work down into manageable steps, give better instructions, guide the AI through tasks, review its output, fix issues, and build with more confidence.By the end of the course, you will understand how to use OpenCode as a serious coding assistant, even when working with free models, opening your eyes to what's possible without using any paid models at all.Why OpenCode?OpenCode is one of the most exciting tools for developers who want to explore agentic coding without being locked into expensive subscriptions or restrictive usage limits.With OpenCode, you can:Work with AI coding agents inside your development workflowUse free models to generate, edit, and refactor codeCreate rules that guide how the AI behaves in your projectUse agent skills to improve repeatable workflowsConnect external tools through MCPBuild real applications with a more structured AI-assisted processLearn agentic coding concepts that transfer to other tools as wellThe key is that free models need a bit more planning, structure, and direction, and that's exactly what this course teaches you.If you want to start building with agentic coding tools without constantly worrying about usage limits or expensive subscriptions, this one is for you.

Beginner to intermediate developers who want to learn agentic coding with OpenCode.,Developers who are interested in tools like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and AI coding agents, but want to build using free AI models.,Students, indie hackers, freelancers, and builders who want a practical introduction to OpenCode, MCP, rules, agent skills, and custom agents.
