How do you get a local model to search stuff on your local computer for you? I'd love this in an IDE to emulate the functionality of Copilot!
Oh that's the magic of tools like opencode, you run it in a folder and it acts as a harness for the model where it can interact with the filesystem. You could do the same with an IDE as well, making your own agentic harness is actually pretty straight forward. So you could make a plugin that talks to, say, ollama https://ampcode.com/notes/how-to-build-an-agent
Thanks!
