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

Please add a clear visual indicator showing which sub-agent is currently active in OpenCode.

When working with multiple sub-agents, it’s easy to lose track of which one is handling the current task. A lightweight indicator (e.g., in the status bar or header) would improve clarity and reduce context confusion.

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

  • #5826: Agent Session Tab Bar Navigation - Requests a visual tab bar to see all active/completed agent sessions and quickly switch between them with status indicators
  • #4422: Primary agent responds in subagent view; delegated subagent views become inaccessible - Highlights the core problem that there's no clear visual indication of which agent is currently active for user input
  • #3761: Unclear when model is busy or awaiting user input - Related issue about clarity in the TUI regarding active processes
  • #3291: Navigation to parent session from child/subagent sessions - Discusses session hierarchy and the need for better navigation/identification between parent and subagent sessions

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

I now see the spinner on the sub-agents, thanks for this OpenCode team!
