aspens doc init/sync/impact previously only supported Claude and Codex as generation backends and output targets. This adds OpenCode CLI as a third option throughout: backend detection, runner dispatch (a new runOpenCode using `opencode run --format json`), backend/target resolution and fallback, and the doc-init interactive backend picker. Update the two existing tests whose assertions were pinned to the old two-backend/two-target world, and bring the --help text and Target Notes section in cli.js in line with the new option surface.
Bootstrap file so the /go mandatory pre-PR test gate has a command to run — mirrors the existing CI test job (npm test) rather than inventing a new check.
WalkthroughOpenCode is added as a documentation target, generation backend, and impact interpretation backend. Backend discovery, CLI execution, target selection, installation guidance, CLI help, policy documentation, and tests are updated. ChangesOpenCode support
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to OpenCode support currently passes repository and model values through a shell, which can allow unintended command execution on Windows, and its relative-path handling can run against the wrong directory. These bounded issues should be fixed before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Inline comments:
In `@bin/cli.js`:
- Line 82: Update the quick-start text for --target all in the CLI help output
to describe generating documentation for all configured targets, including
OpenCode, instead of only Claude and Codex. Preserve the existing formatting and
target options.
In `@src/commands/doc-init.js`:
- Around line 262-277: Update the target-selection flow after the backend prompt
to derive choices from TARGETS filtered by available backend IDs, including
OpenCode. When exactly one target is available, assign that backend ID directly;
otherwise present the filtered target choices and persist the selected target so
output configuration uses the correct backend.
- Line 290: Update the target selection logic around targetIds so --target all
does not silently process codex and opencode together when they share output
paths with different transforms. Either reject this conflicting target
combination before writing or explicitly define deterministic shared-output
ownership and ensure the writer applies it consistently.
In `@src/lib/runner.js`:
- Around line 374-378: Update the non-zero-exit handling in the OpenCode runner,
alongside the code === 127 branch, to inspect stderr for rate-limit responses
before constructing the generic “OpenCode exited” error. Return a retry-oriented
error consistent with runCodex(), while preserving the existing not-found and
generic non-rate-limit error paths.
- Around line 314-345: Update the child.stdout data handling around the existing
JSON event parsing to maintain a lineBuffer across callbacks, append each
decoded chunk, and parse only newline-terminated records so partial JSON is
retained. Reuse the current event content, usage, and activity processing for
each complete record, then process any remaining buffered record when the child
closes.
- Around line 361-384: Replace both shell-based prompt-file cleanup calls in the
child completion and child error handlers with Node filesystem cleanup using
rmSync(promptFile, { force: true }) or unlinkSync(), and import the selected
function as needed. Preserve the existing best-effort cleanup behavior by
retaining error suppression.
- Around line 296-299: Remove the --dangerously-skip-permissions argument from
the OpenCode invocation arguments in the runner flow. Keep permission approvals
enabled, and preserve the existing promptFile and documentation prompt
arguments.
In `@src/lib/target.js`:
- Around line 73-87: Update inferConfig() to explicitly detect OpenCode
artifacts, including AGENTS.md and .claude/skills, so recovery selects the
OpenCode target when .aspens.json is absent; do not rely on changing
supportsSkills alone. Add a regression test covering this OpenCode-only setup
and verify doc sync targets OpenCode.

@behindthedash There are code rabbit comments to be resolved before merge. I cannot test on my end, I don't have OpenCode. |
Addresses CodeRabbit's review on aspenkit#48 plus one more severe bug found during real-repo testing against actual OpenCode CLI. Security (CodeRabbit): - Remove unconditional --dangerously-skip-permissions from the OpenCode invocation. - Replace shell-based `execSync('rm -f ' + promptFile)` cleanup (command-injection risk via TMPDIR) with rmSync(). Correctness (CodeRabbit): - Line-buffer the OpenCode JSON event stream across stdout chunks — a record split across chunks was previously dropped. - Reject `--target all`/multi-target combinations where two targets write the same instructionsFile (codex + opencode both write AGENTS.md via different transforms — combining them silently clobbered whichever was written last). - Generalize the interactive target picker in doc-init.js to list every available backend instead of hardcoding claude/codex. - Detect OpenCode artifacts in target.js's inferConfig() recovery path (AGENTS.md + .claude/skills without codex-specific artifacts) so deleting .aspens.json no longer mis-recovers an OpenCode-only repo as Claude. - Classify OpenCode rate-limit stderr the same way runCodex does. Correctness (found via real-repo testing, not caught by review): - `opencode run`'s stdin was left open (spawned with all three stdio streams piped, never written to or closed). Confirmed by repro (`sleep 999 | opencode run ...` hangs indefinitely before even reaching init) that this makes every OpenCode invocation hang until the process timeout kills it — the backend never actually worked. Since the prompt is passed via -f (a file), not stdin, spawn with stdio: ['ignore', 'pipe', 'pipe']. - `opencode run`'s -f/--file flag is a yargs array-type option; a bare positional message placed after it gets swallowed into the file array instead of being sent as the message. Reordered to put the message before -f. - The real `opencode run --format json` event schema doesn't match what was implemented: text arrives as {type:"text", part:{type: "text", text, id}} (not event.content), and usage arrives as {type:"step_finish", part:{tokens:{output}}} (not event.usage). Rewrote extraction to match, keyed by part.id so repeated updates to the same part replace rather than duplicate. Verified end-to-end: `aspens doc init --dry-run --target opencode --backend opencode` against a real throwaway repo now completes and generates correct, non-hallucinated skill content using the actual installed OpenCode CLI (previously: always failed with a 300s+ timeout). Also re-ran `npm test` (441/441 passing, 2 new tests added for the inferConfig regression) and the CI-equivalent checks (`node bin/cli.js --help`, `npm audit --omit=dev`).

Pushed a follow-up commit ( Security (CodeRabbit):
Correctness (CodeRabbit):
Found via real-repo testing (not caught by review or the unit suite):
I ran @mvoutov — this should also resolve the "can't test, no OpenCode installed" concern for the specific bugs CodeRabbit flagged, since they're now covered by the regression tests and a live run against the real CLI rather than needing your own manual verification. Happy to share the full dry-run output if useful. |

In `@src/lib/runner.js`:
- Line 303: Update runOpenCode() so the --dir argument uses resolve(cwd)
whenever cwd is provided, ensuring relative input paths become absolute while
preserving the existing argument handling.
- Around line 302-318: Update the OpenCode spawn configuration in the Promise
around child creation to avoid shell interpretation: use a trusted executable or
launcher with shell set to false, and resolve cwd to an absolute path before
appending it as the --dir argument. Preserve the existing argument construction
and stdio behavior.

Two more CodeRabbit findings on the OpenCode runner: - runOpenCode spawns through a shell on Windows (matching the existing runClaude/runCodex pattern); shell metacharacters in an unvalidated --model value could reach cmd.exe. Reject model values outside a safe charset before they reach argv. - --dir was passed the raw cwd value. runOpenCode is exported and can receive a relative path from callers other than the CLI (which already resolves it). Resolve to an absolute path before passing it to OpenCode.

Outcome
aspens doc init/sync/impactgain a third supported backend/target — OpenCode CLI — alongside Claude and Codex, so users who prefer OpenCode can generate and maintain docs without either of the other two CLIs installed.Route Selected
F — Defect Repair (canonical checkout drift: work-in-progress feature code was sitting uncommitted on the local

Backend/target plumbing only (detection, resolution, runner, CLI help text). No changes to prompt content or doc-generation logic itself.

Deferred Work and Handoffs
--diron all three runners.runClaude/runCodex/runOpenCodeall spawn withshell: process.platform === 'win32'(needed so globally-installed.cmd/.batCLI shims resolve on Windows).--modelis now validated against a safe charset, but the repository path passed to--dircan legitimately contain shell metacharacters (&,|,(,), etc.) thatresolve()normalizes but does not escape. A full fix means not sending the command through a shell at all on Windows (e.g.cross-spawn, or hand-rolled.cmd/.batresolution) — since the pattern is shared across all three runners, fixing onlyrunOpenCodewould leave the codebase inconsistent, so this is out of scope for an "add OpenCode support" PR. See the CodeRabbit thread onsrc/lib/runner.js(thespawn('opencode', ...)call) for the full discussion.Risk Assessment
Low-to-moderate — additive backend/target support; existing Claude/Codex paths unchanged (verified by the still-passing existing test suite). One accepted residual risk carried over from pre-existing code: the Windows shell-injection gap above, which predates this PR and applies equally to the existing Claude/Codex runners.
