What is opencode and how does it work with Scrapy?

Opencode's a terminal AI coder that reads your Scrapy project files, follows your AGENTS.md rules, and generates spiders, page objects, items — all production-idiomatic.

How do I install opencode for Scrapy spiders ?

`curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash` or `brew install anomalyco/tap/opencode`. Then `opencode init` in your project.

Will opencode replace manual Scrapy coding?

Not fully — it nails 80%, you tune selectors/tests/deploy. But it slashes build time from days to hours.
