🌟 Overview

opcode is a powerful desktop application that transforms how you interact with Claude Code. Built with Tauri 2, it provides a beautiful GUI for managing your Claude Code sessions, creating custom agents, tracking usage, and much more.

Think of opcode as your command center for Claude Code - bridging the gap between the command-line tool and a visual experience that makes AI-assisted development more intuitive and productive.

• Each session shows the first message and timestamp
• Resume sessions directly or start new ones

Creating Agents

CC Agents → Create Agent → Configure → Execute

1. Design Your Agent: Set name, icon, and system prompt
2. Configure Model: Choose between available Claude models
3. Set Permissions: Configure file read/write and network access
4. Execute Tasks: Run your agent on any project

Tracking Usage

Menu → Usage Dashboard → View Analytics

• Monitor costs by model, project, and date
• Export data for reports
• Set up usage alerts (coming soon)

Working with MCP Servers

Menu → MCP Manager → Add Server → Configure

• Add servers manually or via JSON
• Import from Claude Desktop configuration
• Test connections before using

🚀 Installation

Prerequisites

• Claude Code CLI: Install from Claude's official site

Release Executables Will Be Published Soon

🔨 Build from Source

Prerequisites

Before building opcode from source, ensure you have the following installed:

System Requirements

• Operating System: Windows 10/11, macOS 11+, or Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+)
• RAM: Minimum 4GB (8GB recommended)
• Storage: At least 1GB free space

Required Tools

1. Rust (1.70.0 or later) bash # Install via rustup curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

2. Bun (latest version) bash # Install bun curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash

3. Git bash # Usually pre-installed, but if not: # Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt install git # macOS: brew install git # Windows: Download from https://git-scm.com

4. Claude Code CLI

5. Download and install from Claude's official site
6. Ensure claude is available in your PATH

Platform-Specific Dependencies

Linux (Ubuntu/Debian)

# Install system dependencies
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y \
  libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev \
  libgtk-3-dev \
  libayatana-appindicator3-dev \
  librsvg2-dev \
  patchelf \
  build-essential \
  curl \
  wget \
  file \
  libssl-dev \
  libxdo-dev \
  libsoup-3.0-dev \
  libjavascriptcoregtk-4.1-dev

macOS

# Install Xcode Command Line Tools
xcode-select --install

# Install additional dependencies via Homebrew (optional)
brew install pkg-config

Windows - Install Microsoft C++ Build Tools - Install WebView2 (usually pre-installed on Windows 11)

Build Steps

1. Clone the Repository bash git clone https://github.com/getAsterisk/opcode.git cd opcode

2. Install Frontend Dependencies bash bun install

3. Build the Application

For Development (with hot reload) bash bun run tauri dev

For Production Build ```bash # Build the application bun run tauri build

# The built executable will be in: # - Linux: src-tauri/target/release/ # - macOS: src-tauri/target/release/ # - Windows: src-tauri/target/release/ ```

1. Platform-Specific Build Options

Debug Build (faster compilation, larger binary) bash bun run tauri build --debug

Universal Binary for macOS (Intel + Apple Silicon) bash bun run tauri build --target universal-apple-darwin

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. "cargo not found" error
2. Ensure Rust is installed and ~/.cargo/bin is in your PATH

3. Run source ~/.cargo/env or restart your terminal

4. Linux: "webkit2gtk not found" error

5. Install the webkit2gtk development packages listed above

6. On newer Ubuntu versions, you might need libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev

7. Windows: "MSVC not found" error

8. Install Visual Studio Build Tools with C++ support

9. Restart your terminal after installation

10. "claude command not found" error

11. Ensure Claude Code CLI is installed and in your PATH

12. Test with claude --version

13. Build fails with "out of memory"

14. Try building with fewer parallel jobs: cargo build -j 2
15. Close other applications to free up RAM

Verify Your Build

After building, you can verify the application works:

# Run the built executable directly
# Linux/macOS
./src-tauri/target/release/opcode

# Windows
./src-tauri/target/release/opcode.exe

Build Artifacts

The build process creates several artifacts:

• Executable: The main opcode application
• Installers (when using tauri build):
• .deb package (Linux)
• .AppImage (Linux)
• .dmg installer (macOS)
• .msi installer (Windows)
• .exe installer (Windows)

All artifacts are located in src-tauri/target/release/.

🛠️ Development

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React 18 + TypeScript + Vite 6
• Backend: Rust with Tauri 2
• UI Framework: Tailwind CSS v4 + shadcn/ui
• Database: SQLite (via rusqlite)
• Package Manager: Bun

🔒 Security

opcode prioritizes your privacy and security:

1. Process Isolation: Agents run in separate processes
2. Permission Control: Configure file and network access per agent
3. Local Storage: All data stays on your machine
4. No Telemetry: No data collection or tracking
5. Open Source: Full transparency through open source code
