I’m the founder and CEO of Charm. There are claims circulating about OpenCode which are untrue, and I want to clarify what actually happened.
In April, Kujtim Hoxha built a project called TermAI—an agentic coding tool built on top of Charm’s open-source stack: Bubble Tea, Lip Gloss, Bubbles, and Glamour.
Two developers approached him offering UX help and promotion, and suggested renaming the project to OpenCode. One of them bought a domain and pointed it at the repo.
At the time, they explicitly assured Kujtim that the project and repo belonged entirely to him, and that he was free to walk away at any point.
We loved what Kujtim built and offered him a full-time role at Charm so he could continue developing the project with funding, infrastructure, and support. The others were informed and declined to match the offer.
I also mentioned that if the project moved to Charm, a rename might follow. No agreement was made.
Shortly after, they forked the repo, moved it into their company’s GitHub org, retained the OpenCode name, took over the AUR package, and redirected the domain they owned.
To clarify specific claims being circulated:
- No commit history was altered
- We re-registered AUR packages for continuity
- Comments were only removed if misleading or promotional
- The project is maintained transparently by its original creator
The original project, created by Kujtim, remains open source and active—with the full support of the team at Charm.
That’s the story. We’ll have more to share soon.
Okay I feel old now.
Seriously, though: Charm creates CLI tools, not coding agents: https://charm.sh/ https://github.com/orgs/charmbracelet/repositories
Also, https://github.com/kujtimiihoxha 's recent commits are in https://github.com/opencode-ai/opencode .
But what does https://sst.dev/ (org behind https://github.com/sst/opencode) have to do with either charm or opencode?? Like Charm, it has nothing to do with coding agents.
Not for me.
Neither of these companies are focused on LLMs or AI, they're both just using this as AI dust to sprinkle on top of their products.
Anybody know where exactly this is hosted?
This is the original OpenCode repository, now continuing at Charm with its original creator, Kujtim Hoxha.
Development is continuing under a new name as we prepare for a public relaunch.
