If you have GH Copilot, you can use OpenCode with no additional costs
Switched back to Github Copilot for using it with Opencode as Agent
Opencode with Github Copilot
OpenCode is going to have the official Copilot support

Just a reminder:
-
If you have Github Copilot subscription, you can use Open Code CLI/TUI with no additional costs
-
After installing use
opencode auth loginand choose GitHub Copilot -
You can then select models from Github Copilot and use it
They claim they use same prompt as in Claude Code so it might have similar quality. It's definately something to try if you want to check CLI/TUI AI tools.
Additionally you are no longer tied to VSC IDE so you can use it in your favorite IDE terminal.
Beginning of last year I was on a Pro+ subscription for a while, but I canceled and changed to different model access, mainly because I wanted to burn my Azure Credits on coding.
From time to time I use Opus - Antigravity and other left a sad feeling, so I canceled there. I read that Opencode as a 3rd Party Agent is accepted with Copilot. So I gave it a go.
Still the context size restriction nags a bit, but I think maybe it is time to work less "sloppy". I created some workflow for me to work intensively with subagents. Currently only for creating docs, onboarding projects and executing plan.
This is consuming a lot of tokens on single premium request. Are there any limits I shall take care of?
EDIT: I also posted a question similar to this one in the Opencode subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/opencodeCLI/comments/1r6fnsp/opencode_with_github_copilot/ ) . I did quite a few things with OC and wrote also a few extensions in the past. The target of my question was also about "limits" and if there are probably problems arising, when too many subagents and tokens are spawned from a single premium request. Found later in the GHCP-Sub that some people got suspended, because the abused the system by executing hundreds of todos on one request on regular basis.
I asked that question in the Copilot sub but got not answer yet. Maybe someone with a similar setup could enlighten me.
Half time I use Opus (Rest of the time still burning my Azure Credits on codex), but after all this discussions of TOS Violations with Antigravity and CC and some further issues I canceled there.
I read that Opencode is accepted as a 3rd Party Agent with GitHub Copilot. (Hope it's true) So I gave it a go.
Still the context size restriction nags a bit, but I think maybe it is time to work less "sloppy". I created some workflow (Skills and Agents) for me to work intensively with subagents. Currently only for creating docs, onboarding projects and creating execution plans.
I checked the billing and verified that my workflow only get charged one premium request per prompt, but in the background tools and subs are consuming a hell of a lot of tokens on single premium request.
Are there any limits I shall take care of? I mean this could be really maxxed out by using the Question-Tool and Subagents etc. Dont wanna risk my companies Github Account.
Any experience or hints ?
EDIT: After someone posted about suspension I searched and found: https://www.reddit.com/r/GithubCopilot/comments/1r0wimi/if_you_create_a_long_todo_list_in_agent_mode_you/ Very Interesting. It seems GHCP is banning people who are excessively using the subagent scheme with tremendously long todo-lists. OMG.
