feat: Autonomous task continuation with task-based checkpoints and rollback #19384
Closed as not planned
Description
Summary
Add autonomous task continuation capability to OpenCode that enables:
- Task-based checkpoints - Snapshots created on task completion, not time-based
- Automatic continuation - Suggested next steps become the next prompt automatically
- Rollback capability - Revert to any checkpoint when things go wrong
Motivation
Currently, OpenCode sessions require manual intervention between tasks. Users must:
- Complete a task
- Manually identify the next task
- Enter the next prompt
This feature enables a more autonomous workflow where:
- Checkpoints are created automatically when tasks complete
- The next suggested step becomes the next prompt
- Users can rollback to any previous state if something breaks
Proposed Solution
Add a built-in autonomous mode that:
- Creates checkpoints on task/tool completion
- Maintains a queue of pending tasks
- Enables automatic continuation to next task
- Provides rollback to any checkpoint
Use Cases
- Long-running development sessions - Build complex features without constant manual prompting
- CI/CD pipelines - Automate multi-step development tasks
- Batch operations - Process multiple related tasks sequentially
Implementation Approach
The feature could be implemented as:
- Built-in OpenCode command (
/autonomous) - Task queue management
- Checkpoint system using workspace snapshots + git state
- Rollback commands
