shell
pnpm add -D opencode-quotes-tuiOpenCode loads npm dependencies through its embedded runtime on startup and caches them locally — no manual global install needed.
Open your terminal to a piece of timeless wisdom. opencode-quotes-tui replaces OpenCode's built-in tips with a hand-picked quote. You get a new one every time you start OpenCode.
Why you'll like it
- A fresh quote every session: philosophy, literature, science, art. A hand-curated list instead of a wall of tips.
- Matches your theme: renders in your current OpenCode theme's colors, with nothing to configure.
- One command to install: works out of the box, globally, in every project.
Install
opencode plugin opencode-quotes-tui -g
Restart OpenCode. That's it. Every session from now on opens with a quote.
Alternative install routes
In-app Plugin Manager: command palette → Plugins → install → type opencode-quotes-tui → press Tab to select global scope.
Manual config: add the package to the plugin list in ~/.config/opencode/tui.json and OpenCode downloads it automatically:
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/tui.json",
"plugin": ["opencode-quotes-tui"]
}
Use "opencode-quotes-tui@1.0.0" to pin a version.
Single project only: copy src/tui.tsx, src/quotes.ts and tui.json from this repo into your project root and OpenCode picks them up automatically.
Uninstall
Remove opencode-quotes-tui from the plugin list in ~/.config/opencode/tui.json and restart OpenCode.
One honest note: while active, the plugin hides OpenCode's built-in tips, which is the point. That preference outlives the plugin, so if you want the tips back afterwards, run the built-in tips.toggle command once.
Make it yours
The quote list is a plain file: src/quotes.ts, an array of { quote, author }. Fork it, edit it, rebuild with npm run build. An empty list is fine too. The plugin simply steps aside.
Contributing a quote
Pull requests with new quotes are welcome:
- Verifiable attribution: cite the source or work in the PR; misattributed quotes are declined.
- Terminal-friendly: around 200 characters max.
- Any language: English and Portuguese today, more welcome.
- Fit the shelf: keep the section organization of
src/quotes.ts.
Compatibility
OpenCode 1.18 or newer.
Development
npm install
npm run typecheck

Plain Node 22 + npm, no extra runtime needed.
