Problem

The plan agent reminder is currently hardcoded in insertReminders and injected unconditionally based on agent name. This prevents plugins and user configurations from customizing or disabling the reminder.

Proposed Solution

Add a reminder field to the agent configuration that allows:

  1. Custom reminder text
  2. Disabling reminders entirely with false
  3. Using the default if not specified

Use Case

Plugins like opencode-kit want to customize the plan agent to allow editing plan files, but the hardcoded ZERO exceptions reminder contradicts this customization.

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

  • #7092: Feature: Allow plan mode to save plans to configurable paths

Both issues address the same underlying problem: hardcoded system reminders for the plan agent that prevent customization. #7092 proposes making plan mode exceptions configurable in the system reminder injection, while #7656 proposes a configurable reminder field in agent configuration. These are complementary solutions to the same root cause.

Feel free to ignore if your specific use case differs.
