[FEATURE]: Opt-in assistant auto-continue for generic continuation prompts #18156
I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
Today OpenCode can auto-handle some permission and question flows, but it still pauses on low-information assistant prompts like:
"If you'd like, I can continue."
"Let me know if you want me to proceed."
That creates an unnecessary extra user turn in long coding sessions and unattended opencode run workflows, even when the assistant is clearly waiting for a generic continue signal rather than real user input.
Requested behavior:
add an opt-in config such as experimental.auto_continue
listen for finalized assistant messages
match a narrow, configurable set of continuation phrases against the assistant's closing paragraph
dedupe by assistant message ID
submit a synthetic follow-up such as Yes. Do this.
Why this helps:
removes redundant confirmation turns
keeps autonomous and CI-like workflows moving
fits existing async prompt and synthetic-message infrastructure
stays safe if the behavior is opt-in, phrase-matched, deduped, and configurable
This is different from finish_reason: "length" auto-resume. That token-limit case is already discussed in #17471. This request is about assistants that voluntarily end a turn with generic continuation phrasing even though no substantive user decision is needed.
