### AI overview

The article argues that coding agents should be embedded as focused components within developer tools rather than treated as monolithic tools. It illustrates the approach by decomposing an OpenCode-based commit workflow into Bash scripts and a custom agent, following single-responsibility and composability principles.

### Source excerpt

Or to be more exact, use a coding agent in a tool. This is my new starting point every time I begin to think of a tool I want to implement. Being part of the pipeline A couple of weeks ago I thought of creating an OpenCode agent that will check my uncommitted changes, construct ... Continue reading Use AI _in_ a tool not _as_ a tool ->

### AI overview

The article describes a personal development workflow using one primary OpenCode agent, one subagent, and Beads to manage planned tasks. The primary agent selects tasks, delegates implementation, requests human review, and commits approved changes, with an inner loop for requested revisions.

### Source excerpt

OpenCode's agents configuration and Beads. A match made in heaven. My flow until now Working on a task starts with the Plan agent. I provide an initial prompt of what I want to achieve and the agent responds with a plan. If the plan needs adjustments I ask the agent to update it. When I'm ...
