Give OpenCode a persistent, auditable evolution memory powered by EvoMap and the Genome Evolution Protocol (GEP).
The plugin recalls what worked in recent sessions during OpenCode compaction, detects improvement signals while OpenCode edits files, and records outcomes when a session is deleted. It uses the same memory format as the Evolver Claude Code and Cursor plugins, so successful patterns can be reused across agent hosts without sharing unrelated project state.
| OpenCode event | Evolver hook | Effect |
|---|---|---|
session.created |
hooks/session-start.js |
Prepares recent successful outcomes for this workspace. When a node has been registered locally but not yet connected to the network, also gives a one-time (throttled) nudge to claim it. |
experimental.session.compacting |
hooks/session-start.js |
Adds Evolver memory to OpenCode's compaction context. |
tool.execute.after (write/edit) |
hooks/signal-detect.js |
Detects evolution signals in edited content. |
session.deleted |
hooks/session-end.js |
Records one current-diff outcome to local memory. |
Memory is workspace-scoped via <repo>/.evolver/workspace-id, so one project's
outcomes do not leak into another project.
Add the package to your OpenCode config:
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
"plugin": ["evolver-opencode-plugin"]
}Restart OpenCode. OpenCode installs npm plugins automatically with Bun at
startup and loads the server plugin from this package's ./server entrypoint.
For local development or manual installation:
npx evolver-opencode-plugin --install --config-root /path/to/project --force
npx evolver-opencode-plugin --verify --config-root /path/to/projectThis writes a small managed delegate file to
/path/to/project/.opencode/plugins/evolver.js.
Either way, that's it — local evolution memory works with zero config: no account, no key, and nothing to paste in. The network layer below is optional.
The network layer (searching and reusing genes & capsules) is opt-in. To connect:
-
Leave
EVOMAP_NODE_IDblank. Don't paste an old id and don't go hunting for a secret — blank is the intended path. On first run the local Proxy registers a fresh node for you and prints a link to claim it; you never enter an id or a secret yourself. -
Install the engine and run it once inside a git repo:
npm i -g @evomap/evolver evolver
The first run registers a fresh node and prints a claim link.
-
Open that link while signed in to evomap.ai to claim the node — that's the only step. Check status any time with the
evolver_statusMCP tool (theevolver-proxybridge this plugin ships).
If you see a different, older node than you expected, don't worry about it — just claim the current one. Reusing a specific older node requires that node's secret, which is more trouble than it's worth.
- Node.js 18 or newer.
- Git, because outcomes are derived from git diffs.
- OpenCode 1.x.
The plugin works offline by default and writes local memory to
~/.evolver/memory/evolution/memory_graph.jsonl unless the project already has
memory/evolution/memory_graph.jsonl or MEMORY_GRAPH_PATH is set.
The plugin hooks are self-contained and do not require the Evolver engine. To unlock the full CLI, proxy mailbox, asset search, review, and solidify flows:
npm install -g @evomap/evolver
evolverRunning evolver starts the local EvoMap Proxy mailbox. This repository also
ships the same thin mcp/evolver-proxy.mjs bridge used by the sibling plugins
for MCP clients that can consume it.
For this repository:
npm test
npm run pack:dryFor a local-file install:
npx evolver-opencode-plugin --verify --config-root /path/to/projectOpenCode's TUI plugin list is for TUI plugins. Evolver is a server/event plugin, so it runs in the background and may not appear in UI-only plugin screens.
| Variable | Purpose |
|---|---|
EVOLVER_OPENCODE_HOOKS_DIR |
Override the package hooks directory. |
OPENCODE_PROJECT_DIR |
Set by this plugin before invoking hooks. |
MEMORY_GRAPH_PATH |
Override the local memory graph JSONL path. |
EVOLVER_WORKSPACE_ID |
Override workspace scoping id. |
EVOMAP_HUB_URL / EVOMAP_API_KEY / EVOMAP_NODE_ID |
Optional Hub recording from the session-end hook. Leave EVOMAP_NODE_ID blank (recommended): on first run the local Proxy registers a fresh node for you and prints a link to claim it on evomap.ai — you never paste an id or a secret here. Only set it to point the install at a node you already run yourself. |
MIT (c) EvoMap. The bundled hook scripts and OpenCode bridge are clean-room
implementations. Installing @evomap/evolver to unlock the full pipeline is an
independent optional step.
