Question

I heavily use the multi agents capabilities. During the time of execution. I tend to have conversation with the subagents session instead of the primary agent session. In order to save the session from being bloated, and sometimes queue the messages in the subagent session when the agents go sideways. It was very handy.

Is it a bug that we don't see the chat in subagents?

This was intentional, tho note that even before it got removed, you werent actually talking to subagent it was still primary agent just w/ the context of subagent

I slightly altered the question to reflect what I really meant.
Sad to see the powerful feature sunset!!

This was a critical part of my workflow as well. Being able to send messages to subagent sessions allowed me to course-correct when needed and significantly improved subagent performance. Would love to see this restored.

Re: routing to the primary agent - that doesn't quite match my experience. When I sent messages while viewing a subagent (e.g., telling it to use gh CLI instead of webfetch for investigating source code), the subagent changed its behavior directly. Could be wrong, but it felt like direct communication. Either way, the functionality was valuable for steering subagents.

Edit: did some digging and you're technically correct that the TUI agent config was used, not the subagent's. But messages did go to the child session and became part of its context, which influenced subsequent behavior. That's what made it useful. Hope it can come back in some form.

This feature was exactly the reason I switched from Claude Code to OpenCode. The ability to interact with subagent sessions and course-correct them mid-execution was a game-changer for my workflow. Really disappointing to see it removed — might as well switch back to Claude Code now.

In fact, I stopped using the Opencode Desktop because this specific feature was removed.
I had created a question for that too! https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/6191
