[FEATURE]: Auto-refresh session titles from current context

I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

OpenCode currently generates a session title from how the conversation starts, but the title can drift out of date as the session changes direction. I'd like OpenCode to periodically regenerate the session title from current conversation context so it stays useful, while stopping automatic retitling as soon as the user manually renames the session.

It would also help to expose a direct /summarize slash command in the prompt so users can trigger session compaction / summarization on demand without going through the command palette.

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

Add ability to regenerate session title using small model #11988: Requests ability to regenerate session title using a small model — very similar to the auto-refresh title request here
[FEATURE]: Improve /rename command to be AI powered #9398: Requests an AI-powered /rename command for sessions — related to on-demand title regeneration
[FEATURE]: Inherit or regenerate session title when forking #10105: Requests inheriting or regenerating session title when forking — overlaps with the periodic re-titling concept

Please review these issues and comment if yours is distinct enough to warrant a separate tracking issue.

I already have a working branch for this on my fork: danielwolfman/opencode, branch feat/auto-session-summary.

It adds:

recurring session title refresh from current conversation context
no auto-retitle after a manual rename
an ad hoc /summarize command to trigger session summarization

Happy to open a PR if this direction looks good.

I built a plugin that implements exactly this: opencode-session-auto-rename 📦

Auto-renames sessions with AI-generated titles after every N messages.

👉 npm: opencode-session-auto-rename
👉 GitHub: https://github.com/smithyyang/opencode-session-auto-rename

Install with one line:

"plugin": ["opencode-session-auto-rename"]

Supports configurable interval, model, and title length via optional config file. Built entirely using OpenCode. Feedback and PRs welcome! 😄

+1, same use case here. I often open a session with a short greeting ("hola", "hi") before getting to the actual task, and the title ends up being the literal greeting — which makes /sessions hard to scan when reviewing past work.

I'd also vote for a manual trigger (CTRL+R or a /retitle slash command) in addition to the auto-refresh, since the auto interval is sometimes wrong and the user knows best when a rename is actually warranted.

+1 for a manual trigger. And it will be convenient if we implement it as an improvement on the existing /rename command, similar to #9398.

+1 useful feature...

There is /rename
