[FEATURE] Add option to auto-save session record to disk. #1865
Description
It would be very useful to have the option to automatically save a record of each session (prompts + the model's commentary) to disk, for future reference. Claude Code has this in its settings.
Could be something like
"sessions": {
"autosave": true,
"path": "/myproject/.opencode/sessions"
}
this would automatically create a file (timestamp in file name) in the path at the start of a session and continuously write to it with each prompt/response.

we actually do write everything in
~/.local/share/opencodebut it's not in the best format. we're reworking our storage structure a bunch and we'll probably addopencode query <some simple language>to query out session datainsane-dreamer commentedon Aug 12, 2025
Nice! Would a plain markdown text file per session be an option? (I.e., the settings could allow the user to select the storage format).
thdxr commentedon Aug 12, 2025
the storage will be raw format but we can transform it into markdown - the current
/exportcommand might work for youLeonardoMor commentedon Aug 29, 2025
But are previous sessions recalled as of right now? Is it a fresh start every time I open opencode?

@LeonardoMor are you asking if memory is built in? Answer there is no as of now
LeonardoMor commentedon Aug 30, 2025
I see. So I'm right in not closing opencode for now lol

i would like an option to save my sessions related to a codebase in that same folder. it'll be useful to recognize patterns around what i'm asking, and how is the agent responding. we can also use those sessions to improve the agents.md file

Why was this closed? This would be a really useful feature. It could be used to help keep context small as well if we could keep conversation history on disk while compacting the in-memory context. Then if the agent needs to recall something it did earlier (Something that's now no longer in context) it could go search the on-disk history. Ideally if this could be stored in a vector database, indexed by timestamp to allow contextual search by time period, so you could do things like "Can you re-run that elaborate command you ran yesterday around this time that compiled these specific source files with that debugging flag we need"?

@rekram1-node I was looking for that too, can we re-open please?
Some kind of
Or config based.
