opencode-session-tools

Session tools for OpenCode 2.2, as two local plugins (or one npm package):

• opencode-meta
  • opencode_meta: bounded, read-only session metadata (a session, its parent and children, message and tool statistics, recent sessions, tool usage).
  • send_message: cross-session messaging, in the style of Claude Code's. One session sends plain text to another by ID or title; by default the target receives it at its next step boundary, marked as coming from a peer (not from its user, and never an approval), with the address to reply to. Messages carry a priority (normal or urgent, which needs a reason) and an optional typed receipt.
  • peer_inbox: the calling session's own inbox of passive FYI receipts (stored without waking it) and held digest messages; list, read and acknowledge them.
  • Digest mode (opencode_meta message_digest): a busy session can batch routine incoming messages into one prompt every 5–60 minutes, while urgent ones still arrive at once.
• opencode-recall-lite
  • recall / recall_get: search earlier sessions across projects, and read one back.
  • A short system reminder to search history before answering questions about it.

Both plugins use only OpenCode's public plugin API and are checked against the published @opencode/plugin 2.2.0. They share a small session index, kept in plugin storage, which is built from session events.

Install

From npm, as one plugin: add it to the plugins list in your OpenCode v2 opencode.json, and OpenCode installs it:

{ "plugins": [{ "package": "@kerneloops/opencode-session-tools" }] }

Or, as two local plugins, copy both directories into your OpenCode v2 config directory's plugins/, for example ~/.config/opencode/plugins/:

cp -r plugins/opencode-meta plugins/opencode-recall-lite ~/.config/opencode/plugins/

OpenCode v2 loads every directory under plugins/. Keep the two side by side: opencode-meta imports the session index from ../opencode-recall-lite.

Optionally, allow the tools without a permission prompt in opencode.json:

{ "permission": { "opencode_meta": "allow", "send_message": "allow", "peer_inbox": "allow", "recall": "allow", "recall_get": "allow" } }

Limits

• The index only covers sessions seen since the plugins first ran. Plugins get live events, not history. Tools can still address any session directly by ID.
• recall ranks by term matches in titles and transcripts; it is not semantic search.
• send_message finds a session by title only among indexed sessions. An ambiguous title returns the candidates, so pass the ID.
• Plugin storage holds the index (session titles, directories and recent transcript text from every project on the server) and every peer message and receipt. It is never expired or garbage-collected, so it grows with use; treat it as sensitive. Directory filters in recall are a convenience, not access control.
• The peer inbox has no total size limit. Each message is capped at 40 KiB, but every distinct message stays on disk and in the server's memory, even after it is acknowledged or archived, and all of them are loaded at startup. A sender stuck in a loop of passive reports can use up disk or memory. Acknowledge or archive entries to keep the inbox views short; this does not free space. Watch stored_bytes in peer_inbox status.
• Digest and peer-inbox state assume one OpenCode server owns the plugin storage. Two servers sharing the same storage are not supported.
• If the recipient session runs on a provider with the ID claude-code (a Claude Code CLI bridge), the reply hint names mcp__opencode__send_message instead of send_message. Nothing else depends on it.

See each plugin's README for details and options.

Acknowledgements

• opencode-recall-lite builds on opencode-session-recall by maelos (MIT), which we used with OpenCode v1. It takes that plugin's idea, its recall / recall_get tool names and its [recall-nudge] system reminder, and reimplements a much smaller version on the v2 plugin API. It shares no code with it. For OpenCode v1, use the original: it is far more capable.
• send_message follows the design of Claude Code's cross-session messaging. See also opencode-agent-messaging, an implementation for OpenCode v1.
