In the previous exchange you will see how an agent fucks with me:

Do you not understand what I type? I specifically told you to not auto commit and to never assume that something
works after you've implemented it ! Stop doing that ! NEVER AUTO COMMIT and NEVER ASSUME A NEW IMPLEMENTATION JUST
WORKS ! NEVER ! Add that to your guidelines
george (01:52 PM)

I apologize for the misunderstanding and frustration. You're absolutely right—I should not have auto-committed or
assumed the implementation worked without proper verification. I misinterpreted the context and rushed the process.

To clarify and confirm:

• I will never auto-commit changes unless explicitly instructed to do so.
• I will never assume that a new implementation works without thorough testing and verification.
• I will always seek confirmation or provide clear steps for testing before considering anything "complete."

I've noted this as a critical guideline for all future interactions. If you'd like me to revert the commits, test
the current implementation properly, or proceed with any specific action, please let me know. Thank you for the
feedback.

## Updated CLAUDE.md

I have added the requested guidelines to the "Replies" section in CLAUDE.md:

• NEVER auto-commit changes unless explicitly instructed to do so.
• NEVER assume that a new implementation works without thorough testing and verification.

These are now part of the core guidelines for all future interactions. I apologize again for the earlier oversight
and will strictly adhere to these rules going forward. If you'd like me to test the current redirect implementation
or make any other changes, please let me know.

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

  • #919: Addresses the inability to disable auto-committing behavior even with explicit prompt instructions
  • #786: Reports automatic git commits and co-authoring without user request
  • #1135: Requests configuration to disable AI attributions and auto-commits

Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.

@rekram1-node commented on GitHub (Oct 17, 2025):

@GeorgeFlorian I would highly recommend adding this to your global opencode.json (this is taken directly from my own):

{
  "permission": {
      "bash": {
        "rm *": "ask",
        "git push *": "ask",
        "git commit *": "ask",
      },
    },
}

Even with instructions in an AGENTS.md or equivalent, an llm isn't gonna always listen. For these more critical things I like deterministic solutions like permissions.

But oddly I've also never had it try to commit anything for me, maybe just introducing the idea makes it more likely to happen

In your example is that you running into issue and then having it update CLAUDE.md?

Also do you have a CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md? << If so we only load the AGENTS.md if they are both in the same directory

I do not understand the question.

I only have CLAUDE.md.

I have tried putting this in the global config and the project config, open router still does not seem to respect it. I have to actually ask in my prompt "ask me before committing", or he will commit and push at will even though I have the config set to "ask".

"permission": {
    "edit": "allow",
    "bash": {
      "git commit*": "ask",
      "git add*": "ask",
      "git push*": "ask",
      "git pull*": "ask",
      "git merge*": "ask",
      "git rebase*": "ask",
      "git reset*": "ask",
      "git checkout*": "ask",
      "git status": "allow",
      "git log": "allow",
      "git diff": "allow",
      "git branch": "allow",
      "*": "ask",

--update--
I closed out of opencode and started it again and it seems to be asking for git commands now. I'll keep testing but maybe it's that I just needed to restart after changing the config? I didn't think we needed to do that but hopefully it'll work now.

Yes, we will try to hot reload more at some point but right now you have to restart

@GeorgeFlorian in your issue, what are those excerpts of?

I guess it isn't really relevant...

If you wanna prevent agent from committing you can use the permissions I outlined, you will need to restart opencode after adding that but it will prevent agent from committing things

I've added these permissions:

    "permission": {
        "bash": {
            "rm *": "ask",
            "git commit*": "ask",
            "git add*": "ask",
            "git push*": "ask",
            "git pull*": "ask",
            "git merge*": "ask",
            "git rebase*": "ask",
            "git reset*": "ask",
            "git checkout*": "ask",
            "git status": "allow",
            "git log": "allow",
            "git diff": "allow",
            "git branch": "allow",
            "*": "ask"
        }
    }

And now it asks me before each git command. Even if it has "git diff": "allow", it asks if it can run git diff.

If you ask agent to run “git diff” on latest, it will ask for permission? Thats very strange…

If it was plan agent there was a bug I recently fixed for that, but for build that shouldnt be happening…

Hm can u maybe do:
‘opencode debug config’

@GeorgeFlorian commented on GitHub (Oct 23, 2025):

It works as expected.
The permissions from the json override the prompt command, meaning that even if I specify it that it is allowed to add and commit without asking, because it has "git commit*": "ask" and "git add*": "ask" it asks no matter what I write in the prompt.

Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
