tagline: Capture stray thoughts into a sidebar backlog, then dispatch them to agents without derailing your session
description: "A persistent idea backlog for the opencode v2 TUI. Mid-conversation, press leader+z (or run /idea) to park a thought in the Idea Inbox sidebar without leaving your current task — no notes app, no derailing the agent. When you have a free moment, press leader+i and pick a pending idea: a delegation mission lands in your current session and execution starts immediately, while the sidebar status flips from parked to running to done as the agent works. Agents can manage the backlog themselves through idea_add/idea_list/ idea_update/idea_start tools, and a \"documented\" status archives an idea after its result is written up. Storage is per-worktree SQLite, so the backlog survives restarts. Ships for opencode v2 (this entry) and as a legacy v1 line: opencode-idea-inbox@legacy-v1."

  ## Installation (opencode v2)

  Add one line to the `plugins` key of your `opencode.json` — global
  (`~/.config/opencode/opencode.json`) or per-project:

  ```jsonc
  {
    "plugins": ["opencode-idea-inbox"]
  }
  ```

  One entry loads both halves of the plugin: the server part (tools, events,
  slash commands) and the TUI part (sidebar, hotkeys). Restart opencode.

  Note: opencode v2 reads the `plugins` key (plural). The v1 `plugin` key is
  silently ignored — that is the #1 "it doesn't load" cause.

  On opencode v1? Install the legacy line instead:
  `"plugin": ["opencode-idea-inbox@legacy-v1"]`.
