A detailed personal account of one developer's AI-assisted coding workflow using OpenCode with a custom web UI (CodeNomad), Anthropic's Opus models, and a highly customized setup. The post covers an orchestrator-plus-subtask session architecture where the developer maintains full control and mental engagement, a separate dev-plans repo for managing Markdown artifacts, custom plugins for permissions management and file read caching, MCP tools for codebase exploration (grepika, tilth, cachebro), dynamic context pruning to avoid session compaction, and a suite of slash commands and Bun/TypeScript automation scripts. The author emphasizes determinism, intentional pacing, and staying mentally engaged rather than maximizing throughput.
