request: ability to disable title generation (opencode run) #1237
Description
2 use cases here:
- When using
opencode runI hardly ever want a title (I would say basically never), in these cases I'd prefer a truncated version of the prompt I sent to be used as title instead (of course it could just beNew Session ....too << Not suggesting to disable title gen for this just saying I would at least like a flag to disable it - Some people may want to save $ on tokens, so they may just want to disable title generation across the board

I second this - Not sure why this isn't already a thing.

Might be related to #992

these sessions still end up in your session list when running opencode normally. but we can probably add a flag. these use small models so the $ cost is very small

Or not just a flag to disable the title generation, but also the ability to add a custom title via the flag.
This way, one could use the custom title in plugins. My use case would be to skip desktop notifications for non-interactive runs (filter them out with a custom title).

interesting use case, maybe the flag is --title and it defaults to your prompt if no argument provided
I think the team will probably have an opinion on that but I get what you are saying

--titleseems like a good option here. Our use-case: we're running super short tasks that have long prompts (fix a syntax in this 20 line file, but with tons of rules), and we're using small models for the task too. The time it takes a small model to generate a title is comparable to the actual work that needs to be done, and we really don't need the title since this is a programmatic use-case.rekram1-node commentedon Oct 28, 2025
