The word "open" in software names has completely lost its meaning.

I used "open" because: - it's open source - built on top of open source (opencode) - it's built-around extensibility via plain-text files (skills) and open-source plugins

If everyone put "open" in their project's name because it was open source, almost all the software we use would have "open" in the name

The open source / open plugins / text files is not unique to your project. The majority of the ai tooling space is open in the same way

How much more open do you want it to be? It’s MIT licensed.
