This tutorial uses OpenCode CLI to create a video editor portfolio website from a written brief. It starts with opening a terminal in the project folder, including instructions for opening Command Prompt through the Windows address bar. Installation belongs to an earlier tutorial and is not covered here.
The presenter selects Big Pickle from the models shown as free and recommends it based on previous projects. For the brief, he suggests using ChatGPT or Claude to turn project requirements into a detailed prompt. His example specifies colors, languages and frameworks, then asks OpenCode to generate the site. The generation itself is skipped because the project was prepared in advance; the walkthrough shows the completed task list and opens index.html.
The review covers a showreel area, social icons in a transparent sidebar, hover effects and a minimal footer. The presenter uses Color Hunt to explain how to choose a palette and stresses that the desired colors must appear in the prompt. This is a coding assistant workflow, but it does not demonstrate a local LLM or establish offline operation. The presenter describes the result as functional without showing a test suite or deployment.
