Yeah this looks like OpenCode. I've never gotten good results with it. Wild that it has 120k stars on GitHub.

OpenClaw has 308k stars. That metric is meaningless now that anyone can deploy bots by the thousands with a single command.

Does Claude Code's system prompt have special sauces?

verdverm15d ago

Yes, very much so.

I've been able to get Gemini flash to be nearly as good as pro with the CC prompts. 1/10 the price 1/10 the cycle time. I find waiting 30s for the next turn painful now

One nice bonus to doing this is that you can remove the guardrail statements that take attention.

Interesting, what exactly do you need to make this work? There seem to be a lot of prompts and Gemini won't have the exact same tools I guess? What's your setup?

Thanks for the link. Very helpful to understanding what’s going on under the hood.

Which are better and free software?

dimglOP15d ago

None exist yet, but that doesn't mean OpenCode is automatically good.

Didn't mean to imply OpenCode was any good... was honestly looking for a recommendation.
