Coding With OpenCode: AI-Assisted Python (Summary)

Coding With OpenCode: AI-Assisted Python Rodrigo Girão Serrão 01:15

You’ve installed OpenCode, authenticated with your Google account to use Gemini models, and used it to analyze and refactor a Python project from your terminal. You also created the AGENTS.md configuration file, which gives the agent persistent context about your project. In Plan mode, you reviewed changes before they were applied.

With model switching, built-in LSP diagnostics, and the web interface, you have a complete AI coding workflow without leaving your development environment.

In this video course, you’ve learned how to:

Install OpenCode and connect it to a free Google Gemini API key
Initialize a project with /init and customize AGENTS.md with Python-specific guidelines
Analyze and refactor code using the Plan and Build modes
Switch between AI models on the fly and reference files with the @ syntax
Take advantage of built-in LSP diagnostics and the web interface for a smooth coding workflow

With these skills, you can bring AI-assisted coding into your Python projects without leaving the terminal or relying on a paid subscription.

00:00 Congratulations on making it this far! To recap, in this course, you learned to install and set up OpenCode, and one of the main steps was connecting it to a third-party AI provider, because OpenCode is an open-source agent that is independent of the place where you send your prompts to.

00:18 And then you worked on projects with the OpenCode TUI. You used commands to make development easier, you used the forward slash commands, you used the command palette, and in particular you leveraged the Plan mode before implementing the actual changes.

00:33 And finally, you learned to appreciate the unique OpenCode features that improve your user experience and your developer experience. If you would like to learn more, there’s a couple of directions in which you can take your learning journey. If you’re interested, you can learn a bit more about uv, which is the tool you used to manage and run your projects.

00:53 There’s also the tutorial where you develop the projects that served as a basis for this specific course. And then if you want to learn more about Python coding with AI, Real Python has a learning path that’s going to take you through all of the tools and concepts that you need to master in this area.

01:11 I hope you enjoyed. My name is Rodrigo, and I’ll see you in the next one.
