What is opencode-project-panel?

This project is a plugin for OpenCode, a text based coding assistant that runs in a terminal window instead of a graphical app. The plugin adds a bottom bar to that terminal interface with two extra panels a developer can open while working. The first panel is a file manager for the current project. It lets a user browse the files in their project, preview Markdown documents and code, and edit them directly without leaving the terminal. The second panel handles permissions, letting a user configure which Skills, Tools, and MCP connections the assistant is allowed to use. MCP is a protocol that lets AI coding assistants connect to outside tools and data sources. Installing the plugin means adding it to a special configuration file called tui.json rather than the regular plugin list OpenCode normally uses, since this plugin is specific to the terminal interface rather than the background server. It can be installed for a single project by placing the package in that project's own settings folder, or installed globally so it loads automatically for every project a person works on. OpenCode manages downloading and caching the plugin package itself, so most users do not need to manually copy files around, though the README does explain how to clear the cached copy if a fresh version needs to be pulled down. Once installed, the plugin is controlled entirely with keyboard shortcuts. Function keys open the file manager and the permissions panel, and other keys let a user rename, delete, or create files, jump to a specific path, or return to the project's root folder. This tool is meant for developers who already use OpenCode as their coding assistant and want a faster way to manage project files and permission settings without switching to a separate file browser. It is released under the MIT license, so it can be used and modified freely.
