Feature hasn't been suggested before.

  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

The --variant flag was added to opencode run in #6805 but is missing from the root opencode command.

Current Behavior

# Works
opencode run --model anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514 --variant max "hello"
# Doesn't work - variant flag not recognized
opencode --model anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-20250514 --variant max --prompt "hello"

Expected Behavior

Both commands should support --variant.

This matters most when --prompt is provided since the model responds immediately - users can't control reasoning effort for that initial response.

Relevant Files

File Current State
src/cli/cmd/run.ts:90-93 Has --variant option
src/cli/cmd/tui/thread.ts Missing --variant option
src/cli/cmd/tui/context/args.tsx Args interface lacks variant

Implementation Notes

The variant infrastructure already exists in the TUI. Changes needed:

  1. thread.ts: Add --variant option to yargs builder
  2. args.tsx: Add variant?: string to Args interface
  3. thread.ts: Pass variant through to tui() args
  4. local.tsx: Initialize variant from CLI arg (similar to how args.model is handled at line 142)

The variant management (model.variant.set(), model.variant.current(), etc.) is already implemented in local.tsx:310-347, so this is just a CLI argument threading task.

This issue relates to #7138 which implements default variant configuration per agent. While this issue (#7354) focuses on adding the --variant CLI flag to the root command, #7138 adds per-agent default variants in the config. Both approaches are complementary:

  • #7138: Set default variant in config (e.g., build agent always uses high variant)
  • #7354: Override via CLI flag (e.g., opencode --variant max --prompt ...)

These work together to give users flexible variant control at both the configuration and CLI levels.

This one seemed fairly straightforward and given that opencode run already supports it, I assumed it would be reasonable to have on the root command, too, so I opened a PR here: https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/pull/7358

Feel free to close if that's not the case!

Just to add to this, would like to see this added.
For context, I use the root opencode command to quickly spin up a code review with a script that creates a worktree for a PR's branch and launches opencode with a prompt (using a custom slash command). The reason I want variant is becuase I want to use max for claude and xhigh for codex (I usually like to run one with each).

I am using a fork locally for this, right now, but would love to get this functionality upstreamed. I'll link my fork's commit in the PR, in case there is anything useful there :)
