Feature hasn't been suggested before.

  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

At the moment, agent calls only show the title (summary), which contains so little information that it’s hard to tell what’s actually being called.

Agent call screenshot

I’m updating message.go to display at least the prompt for task (subagent) calls - otherwise it’s almost impossible to debug what’s going on.

Interestingly, the rather cryptic 😉 bash tool actually shows more detailed information than Subagents do.

What do you think about displaying the prompt for tasks and maybe a few lines of JSON for custom tools?

Why

I'm mostly using opencode as workflow tool with subagents https://discord.com/channels/1391832426048651334/1419220713738473503/1434436816542629938

Current task UI has near zero information and debugging any agentic workflow is hard.

The task UI I really want

PS: If you are ok with this I can do it

@rekram1-node commented on GitHub (Oct 29, 2025):

This is another thing that'll be great to attack after opentui ships, a lot of things are still in flux but any ideas you have would be great and once we have a release for opentui contributions will be easier to merge in
