# Contributing to OpenCode
We want to make it easy for you to contribute to OpenCode. Here are the most common type of changes that get merged:
- Bug fixes
- Additional LSPs / Formatters
- Improvements to LLM performance
- Support for new providers
- Fixes for environment-specific quirks
- Missing standard behavior
- Documentation improvements
However, any UI or core product feature must go through a design review with the core team before implementation.
If you are unsure if a PR would be accepted, feel free to ask a maintainer or look for issues with any of the following labels:
- [`help wanted`](https://github.com/sst/opencode/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3Ahelp-wanted)
- [`good first issue`](https://github.com/sst/opencode/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22good%20first%20issue%22)
- [`bug`](https://github.com/sst/opencode/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3Abug)
- [`perf`](https://github.com/sst/opencode/issues?q=is%3Aopen%20is%3Aissue%20label%3A%22perf%22)
> [!NOTE]
> PRs that ignore these guardrails will likely be closed.
Want to take on an issue? Leave a comment and a maintainer may assign it to you unless it is something we are already working on.
## Developing OpenCode
- Requirements: Bun 1.3+
- Install dependencies and start the dev server from the repo root:
```bash
bun install
bun dev
```
- Core pieces:
- `packages/opencode`: OpenCode core business logic & server.
- `packages/opencode/src/cli/cmd/tui/`: The TUI code, written in SolidJS with [opentui](https://github.com/sst/opentui)
- `packages/plugin`: Source for `@opencode-ai/plugin`
> [!NOTE]
> After touching `packages/opencode/src/server/server.ts`, run "./packages/sdk/js/script/build.ts" to regenerate the JS sdk.
## Pull Request Expectations
- Try to keep pull requests small and focused.
- Link relevant issue(s) in the description
- Explain the issue and why your change fixes it
- Avoid having verbose LLM generated PR descriptions
- Before adding new functions or functionality, ensure that such behavior doesn't already exist elsewhere in the codebase.
### Style Preferences
These are not strictly enforced, they are just general guidelines:
- **Functions:** Keep logic within a single function unless breaking it out adds clear reuse or composition benefits.
- **Destructuring:** Do not do unnecessary destructuring of variables.
- **Control flow:** Avoid `else` statements.
- **Error handling:** Prefer `.catch(...)` instead of `try`/`catch` when possible.
- **Types:** Reach for precise types and avoid `any`.
- **Variables:** Stick to immutable patterns and avoid `let`.
- **Naming:** Choose concise single-word identifiers when they remain descriptive.
- **Runtime APIs:** Use Bun helpers such as `Bun.file()` when they fit the use case.
## Feature Requests
For net-new functionality, start with a design conversation. Open an issue describing the problem, your proposed approach (optional), and why it belongs in OpenCode. The core team will help decide whether it should move forward; please wait for that approval instead of opening a feature PR directly.
