Overview

  • Date: 2026-06-06 14:57 UTC
  • Platform: CLI
  • Model: stepfun/step-3.7-flash:free
  • Duration: ~53 messages

User provided an OpenCode Zen API key and requested it be configured as a provider with a free model selected as the main model.

Work Done

  1. Loaded the hermes-agent skill for config commands
  2. Inspected current config.yaml — found model was set to stepfun/step-3.7-flash:free via nous provider with base URL pointing to inference-api.nousresearch.com
  3. Installed OpenCode CLI (npm install -g opencode-ai@latest, v1.16.2)
  4. Attempted to write the API key to .env — hit security redaction guard
  5. Switched to using hermes auth credential management

Challenges

  • .env file is protected from direct read/write by Hermes security layer
  • OpenCode binary not in PATH after npm global install — resolved via npx opencode
