What is opencode-desktop-extensions?

OCDX is a tool that lets developers add extensions, sometimes called mods, to a desktop application called OpenCode Desktop, without modifying the original installed program. It works by starting the real, already-installed OpenCode Desktop app through a temporary bootstrap process instead of changing its files directly, then loading independent extension packages on top of it from a dedicated mods folder. Each extension is packaged as a single archive file with the .ocdx extension, similar to a zip file, containing a manifest describing the extension's name and version, some code that runs in the app's interface, and any images or other assets it needs. Developers write extensions using a typed toolkit that gives access to different parts of the OpenCode Desktop interface, such as adding a button to the title bar, along with tools for managing an extension's lifecycle, storing small pieces of settings data that automatically save, and fetching bundled asset files. Installing an extension is as simple as placing its .ocdx file into a mods folder, either inside the installed release or in a per-user application data folder depending on the operating system. There is also a built-in settings page inside the app for installing extensions by dragging and dropping a file, downloading one from a link, and turning extensions on or off without restarting. The readme is direct about trust: extension code runs with real access to OpenCode's internal interface, and an extension can optionally include a separate, more privileged piece of code that runs with the same level of access as the main application itself. Because of this, the documentation advises only installing extensions from sources a person actually trusts. Building this project from source requires a JavaScript runtime called Bun, the Rust programming language toolchain, and Git LFS for downloading example assets, since it needs to compile some native launcher code, not just JavaScript. The readme provides separate build and installation instructions for Windows and macOS, and lists several example extensions included in the repository, such as one that keeps a computer from going to sleep and a playful one referencing an old mobile game.
