Should I use @newtype-os/cli or @newtype-os/plugin?

The CLI is recommended because it integrates OpenCode and provides a simpler, more complete setup. The plugin is an OpenCode plugin for existing OpenCode users, but some integrated CLI features are not available in plugin form.

Is newtype OS based on OpenCode?

The integrated CLI uses OpenCode as its core engine. The project originally started from a fork and customization of oh-my-opencode, which has since been renamed.

Who is newtype OS for?

newtype OS is designed for creators, researchers, writers, and AI-native operators who want a structured agent team instead of one-off chat prompts.

Multi-Agent Content Team

Q: What is newtype OS?

newtype OS is a multi-agent content operating system for research, writing, editing, fact-checking, extraction, memory, and publishing workflows.

A content team living in your terminal: Chief, Deputy, Researcher, Writer, Editor, Fact-Checker, Archivist, and Extractor working as one system.

What It Is

Not a chatbot. A working system.

newtype OS is built for content production that cannot be solved by a single prompt: research, extraction, analysis, outlining, drafting, verification, editing, memory, and reuse.

The point is not to make one model sound smarter. The point is to give AI a team structure, a workflow, and a set of standards it can follow repeatedly.

Agent Team

You talk to Chief. Chief runs the team.

Chief

Editor-in-Chief. Defines direction, standards, and final judgment.

Deputy

Execution layer. Turns Chief's intent into specialist tasks.

Researcher

External intelligence, search, market context, and source gathering.

Fact-Checker

Verification, contradiction checks, and source credibility.

Archivist

Memory retrieval, knowledge base lookup, and context recall.

Extractor

Turns files, pages, images, and raw material into usable Markdown.

Writer

Transforms material into structured drafts and content formats.

Editor

Strengthens structure, logic, style, sentence quality, and rhythm.

CLI vs Plugin

Use the CLI unless you already know why you need the plugin.

Recommended

@newtype-os/cli

The integrated edition. It ships as a standalone terminal product and integrates OpenCode as its core engine, with its own config namespace and a simpler setup path.

npm install -g @newtype-os/cli
Launch with nt or newtype
Uses ~/.config/newtype/ and .newtype/
Best path for complete newtype OS features

OpenCode plugin

@newtype-os/plugin

The plugin edition. It adds the newtype agent team to an existing OpenCode setup, but some integrated CLI behavior cannot be fully reproduced as a plugin.

bun add @newtype-os/plugin
Launches inside opencode
Uses ~/.config/opencode/ and .opencode/
Best for existing OpenCode users

Workflow

From input chaos to publishable output.

Research Analyze Outline Write Fact-check Edit Archive

Architecture

A content operating system, not another prompt library.

newtype OS combines a CLI, an OpenCode-based execution layer, built-in skills, MCP servers, memory, and specialist agents into one operating environment.

Install

Start with the integrated CLI.

npm install -g @newtype-os/cli
nt
nt init
nt auth login

nt research

Deep research with source verification.

nt write

Structured writing with style control.

nt fact-check

Cross-check claims and sources.

nt pipeline

Run a full content workflow end to end.

Origin

Built from the OpenCode ecosystem.

newtype OS began as a fork and customization of oh-my-opencode, which has since been renamed. The integrated CLI now uses OpenCode as its core engine and packages the newtype agent team as a cleaner standalone product.

The open repository contains the plugin edition. The integrated CLI is maintained separately and is distributed through npm as @newtype-os/cli.

FAQ

Questions people ask first.

What is newtype OS?

A multi-agent content operating system for research, writing, editing, fact-checking, extraction, memory, and publishing workflows.

Should I use the CLI or the plugin?

Use the CLI by default. It integrates OpenCode, has a simpler setup, and supports the most complete product experience. Use the plugin only if you already run OpenCode and want a lighter integration.

Is this only for programmers?

No. It uses terminal and project-file workflows, but the target user is a creator, researcher, writer, or AI-native operator who wants repeatable content production.

How is it related to OpenCode?

The CLI integrates OpenCode as the core execution engine. The product originally grew from a fork and customization of oh-my-opencode.
