Config

You can configure opencode using a JSON config file that can be placed in:

• Globally under ~/.config/opencode/config.json.
• Your project root under opencode.json. This is safe to be checked into Git and uses the same schema as the global one.

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "theme": "opencode",
  "model": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
  "autoshare": false,
  "autoupdate": true
}

In most cases, you’ll want to use the global config for things like themes, providers, or keybinds. Having a config per project is useful if you are using different providers for your company.

When opencode starts up, it looks for a config file in the current directory or traverse up to the nearest Git directory.

---

Schema

The config file has a schema that’s defined in opencode.ai/config.json.

Your editor should be able to validate and autocomplete based on the schema.

---

Models

You can configure the providers and models you want to use in your opencode config through the provider and model options.

opencode.json

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",

}
