Hands grunt work to opencode workers running cheap or open models while Claude keeps planning and merging. Code leaves your machine by default.

## What it does

The plugin spins up a single opencode worker or a swarm split into scout, coder and tester roles. Claude stays in charge: it plans the task, reviews what comes back and merges the result, while git worktrees keep each worker isolated. It ships outside every domain bundle, so nothing pulls it in automatically.

Think about where your data goes. The default worker model `opencode/mimo-v2.5-free` runs on opencode's hosted service, so every prompt, file and diff a worker sees is sent to their endpoints. No worker-side call touches the Anthropic API. Pass `--model` pointing at a locally served model — an Ollama or LM Studio provider set up in your opencode config — and the code stays with you.

You need the third-party opencode CLI and an opencode account. With a hosted model, delegate only code you are allowed to send to that provider, and keep secrets out of worker prompts.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add alirezarezvani/claude-skills
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install hivemind@claude-code-skills
```

## When to use it
- cut spend on bulk edits that would burn paid tokens
- search a repo with a dedicated worker
- run coding and testing in parallel across three roles
- isolate experiments in git worktrees
- switch a worker to a local model

## Example prompts
- Start an opencode worker on `opencode/mimo-v2.5-free` and have it find every call to the old API
- Set up a scout/coder/tester swarm: scout maps the edit points, coder writes the patch, tester runs the suite in its own worktree
- Rerun the worker with `--model` pointed at a local model from my opencode config so the code stays here

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE b46be8955835a2e6
```text
# hivemind

Opt-in plugin that lets Claude Code orchestrate [opencode](https://opencode.ai) workers
(single worker or a scout/coder/tester swarm) on cheaper or open models. It ships
outside every domain bundle; install it only if you want it.

## Data flow

**By default your code leaves your machine.** The default worker model,
`opencode/mimo-v2.5-free`, runs on opencode's hosted service, so every prompt, file and
diff a worker receives is sent to opencode's endpoints. Nothing on the worker side
calls the Anthropic API.

To keep code on your machine, pass `--model` pointing at a locally served model (for
example an Ollama or LM Studio provider configured in your opencode config). With any
hosted model, delegate only code you are allowed to send to that provider, and never
delegate secrets.

## Install and use

See [SKILL.md](SKILL.md) for prerequisites, setup, the invocation contract and the
swarm flow. License: MIT (see [LICENSE.txt](LICENSE.txt)).
