The API reaches every open session once enabled, the app runs only on macOS, and none of the last 35 CI runs on the main branch passed.\n\n**OpenCode.** Runs with no key or account on free OpenCode Zen models. Most permissions default to allow, and SECURITY.md says the permission system is not a sandbox.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### CLI Manager\n\n1. Ask the user to switch on Settings \u003e Agents \u003e AI Control API first, then read the URL and token from `~/.climanager/control-api.json`\n2. On `409 awaiting_input`, read the screen and answer with `keys` such as [\"down\",\"enter\"]. Leave folder-trust and permission choices to the user\n3. Stop using a session on `409 disconnected`. The user took it back\n4. Treat `timedOut: true` from `wait` as still running, not as a failure, and wait again\n5. Pass `ephemeral: true` when opening a scratch or worktree folder, and close only sessions you opened\n\n### OpenCode\n\n1. Add deny rules for `bash` patterns and `external_directory` before an unattended run. Most tools default to allow\n2. Set `\"autoupdate\": false` or `OPENCODE_DISABLE_AUTOUPDATE=1` and pin the version in CI\n3. Configure a provider key. With none, prompts go to free Zen models that may train on them\n4. Set `OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD` before `opencode serve`. Without it the server runs unauthenticated\n5. Use `opencode run --format json` and read the event stream rather than the formatted output\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, CLI Manager or OpenCode?\n\nOpenCode scores 67.7 (B) on agent readiness against CLI Manager's 65.8 (B), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Are CLI Manager and OpenCode open source?\n\nYes. CLI Manager is open source (MIT). OpenCode is open source (MIT).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cli-manager-vs-opencode.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/cli-manager-vs-opencode.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"cli-manager\", \"b\": \"opencode\"}`.
