npx opencode-everything-you-need-to-know fails with package not found
Ensure you have Node.js 18+ and a working npm registry connection. Try `npm view opencode-everything-you-need-to-know` to confirm the package exists, then clear the npx cache with `npx clear-npx-cache` before retrying.
OpenCode auth login fails or provider is not recognized
Run `opencode auth list` to see authenticated providers. If none are listed, run `opencode auth login` and select your provider from the interactive picker. Make sure any required API key environment variable (e.g. ANTHROPIC_API_KEY) is set in your shell.
