VERDICT fork — this is a VERDICT-branded hard fork of opencode. See VERDICT-FORK.md for what changed and upstream attribution. Original opencode README follows.
VERDICT is a local-first DFIR (digital forensics & incident response) agent platform, split into three repos:
| Repo | Role | It is… |
|---|---|---|
caseforge-core |
Headless controller: privacy routing, model selection, structured findings, custody validation, the caseforge CLI. |
the driver |
verdict-opencode (this repo) |
The agent runtime — a branded fork of opencode; the verdict binary is built from it. |
the engine |
verdict-dfir-community |
The forensic toolkit: findevil-mcp (Rust, 32 tools) + findevil-agent-mcp (Python, 14 tools) + DFIR doctrine + hash-chained custody. Referenced via VERDICT_DFIR_HOME. |
the evidence lab |
Runtime flow: caseforge (controls + guards) → verdict binary (this repo runs the agent) → findevil MCP tools (do the forensics) → hash-chained custody → caseforge verify.
Two rules everything obeys: the LLM is not the forensic source of truth (findings must cite a tool_call_id + output_sha256 + verified manifest); real evidence stays local by default.
The open source AI coding agent.

XDG_BIN_DIR=$HOME/.local/bin curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bashOpenCode includes two built-in agents you can switch between with the Tab key.
- build - Default, full-access agent for development work
- plan - Read-only agent for analysis and code exploration
- Denies file edits by default
- Asks permission before running bash commands
- Ideal for exploring unfamiliar codebases or planning changes
Also included is a general subagent for complex searches and multistep tasks.
This is used internally and can be invoked using @general in messages.
