OpenCode plugin fades radio as agents work
opencode-vibe-mode is an OpenCode TUI plugin that adds background music while you work, keeping audio at a lower cruise volume and automatically fading it up when an agent is active. It includes built-in stations like house, lofi, and jazz, plus commands to toggle the vibe, restart playback, and cycle stations. Setup is lightweight but opinionated: it depends on `mpv` and `yt-dlp`, and can be installed directly from GitHub or wired in locally or globally.
Hot take: this is a niche but genuinely useful quality-of-life release for people who already use OpenCode heavily and want a more ambient workflow.
- –The core idea is strong: agent activity becomes an audible cue, so you stop micromanaging volume while still getting some session feedback.
- –The plugin is intentionally small in scope, which makes it easy to understand and adopt.
- –Requiring `mpv` and `yt-dlp` keeps the implementation straightforward, but it also introduces a couple of local dependency points.
- –The built-in station presets make it feel polished rather than like a raw proof of concept.
