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

While OpenCode does support resuming sessions already, I personally find the ergonomics to be not the greatest. I'm aware some of this is my own preference/workflow.

Codex's resume command also shows you the branch you were working on and scopes the exposed sessions to those that were begun in your working directory (you can escape hatch this if needed).

Opencode doesn't do that, which makes it very difficult for me to find prematurely terminated sessions. Some of this is a self-own since my prompts have a lot of preamble content which causes the summarizer to generate same-y titles, but just having things like the branch name or the directory scoping would go a really long way towards letting me feel like I can easily resume sessions instead of just making a new one and prompting the agent back up to speed.

I can work around this with tools like https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/coding_agent_session_search but I thought I'd just mention this in case it makes sense for opencode as a feature.
