## 🌟 Overview

**opcode** is a powerful desktop application that transforms how you interact with Claude Code. Built with Tauri 2, it provides a beautiful GUI for managing your Claude Code sessions, creating custom agents, tracking usage, and much more.

Think of opcode as your command center for Claude Code - bridging the gap between the command-line tool and a visual experience that makes AI-assisted development more intuitive and productive.

## 🚀 Installation

### Prerequisites

- **Claude Code CLI**: Install from [Claude's official site](https://claude.ai/code)

### Release Executables Will Be Published Soon

## 🔨 Build from Source

### Prerequisites

Before building opcode from source, ensure you have the following installed:

#### System Requirements

- **Operating System**: Windows 10/11, macOS 11+, or Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+)
- **RAM**: Minimum 4GB (8GB recommended)
- **Storage**: At least 1GB free space

#### Required Tools

1. **Rust** (1.70.0 or later)
   ```bash
   # Install via rustup
   curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
   ```

2. **Bun** (latest version)
   ```bash
   # Install bun
   curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash
   ```

3. **Git**
   ```bash
   # Usually pre-installed, but if not:
   # Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt install git
   # macOS: brew install git
   # Windows: Download from https://git-scm.com
   ```

4. **Claude Code CLI**
   - Download and install from [Claude's official site](https://claude.ai/code)
   - Ensure `claude` is available in your PATH

#### Platform-Specific Dependencies

**Linux (Ubuntu/Debian)**
```bash
# Install system dependencies
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y \
  libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev \
  libgtk-3-dev \
  libayatana-appindicator3-dev \
  librsvg2-dev \
  patchelf \
  build-essential \
  curl \
  wget \
  file \
  libssl-dev \
  libxdo-dev \
  libsoup-3.0-dev \
  libjavascriptcoregtk-4.1-dev
```

**macOS**
```bash
# Install Xcode Command Line Tools
xcode-select --install

# Install additional dependencies via Homebrew (optional)
brew install pkg-config
```

**Windows**
- Install [Microsoft C++ Build Tools](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/)
- Install [WebView2](https://developer.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge/webview2/) (usually pre-installed on Windows 11)

### Build Steps

1. **Clone the Repository**
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/getAsterisk/opcode.git
   cd opcode
   ```

2. **Install Frontend Dependencies**
   ```bash
   bun install
   ```

3. **Build the Application**
   
   **For Development (with hot reload)**
   ```bash
   bun run tauri dev
   ```
   
   **For Production Build**
   ```bash
   # Build the application
   bun run tauri build
   
   # The built executable will be in:
   # - Linux: src-tauri/target/release/
   # - macOS: src-tauri/target/release/
   # - Windows: src-tauri/target/release/
   ```

4. **Platform-Specific Build Options**
   
   **Debug Build (faster compilation, larger binary)**
   ```bash
   bun run tauri build --debug
   ```
   
   **Universal Binary for macOS (Intel + Apple Silicon)**
   ```bash
   bun run tauri build --target universal-apple-darwin
   ```

### Troubleshooting

#### Common Issues

1. **"cargo not found" error**
   - Ensure Rust is installed and `~/.cargo/bin` is in your PATH
   - Run `source ~/.cargo/env` or restart your terminal

2. **Linux: "webkit2gtk not found" error**
   - Install the webkit2gtk development packages listed above
   - On newer Ubuntu versions, you might need `libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev`

3. **Windows: "MSVC not found" error**
   - Install Visual Studio Build Tools with C++ support
   - Restart your terminal after installation

4. **"claude command not found" error**
   - Ensure Claude Code CLI is installed and in your PATH
   - Test with `claude --version`

5. **Build fails with "out of memory"**
   - Try building with fewer parallel jobs: `cargo build -j 2`
   - Close other applications to free up RAM

#### Verify Your Build

After building, you can verify the application works:

```bash
# Run the built executable directly
# Linux/macOS
./src-tauri/target/release/opcode

# Windows
./src-tauri/target/release/opcode.exe
```

### Build Artifacts

The build process creates several artifacts:

- **Executable**: The main opcode application
- **Installers** (when using `tauri build`):
  - `.deb` package (Linux)
  - `.AppImage` (Linux)
  - `.dmg` installer (macOS)
  - `.msi` installer (Windows)
  - `.exe` installer (Windows)

All artifacts are located in `src-tauri/target/release/`.

## 🛠️ Development

### Tech Stack

- **Frontend**: React 18 + TypeScript + Vite 6
- **Backend**: Rust with Tauri 2
- **UI Framework**: Tailwind CSS v4 + shadcn/ui
- **Database**: SQLite (via rusqlite)
- **Package Manager**: Bun

```

### Development Commands

```bash
# Start development server
bun run tauri dev

# Run frontend only
bun run dev

# Type checking
bunx tsc --noEmit

# Run Rust tests
cd src-tauri && cargo test

# Format code
cd src-tauri && cargo fmt
```

## 🔒 Security

opcode prioritizes your privacy and security:

1. **Process Isolation**: Agents run in separate processes
2. **Permission Control**: Configure file and network access per agent
3. **Local Storage**: All data stays on your machine
4. **No Telemetry**: No data collection or tracking
5. **Open Source**: Full transparency through open source code
