[FEATURE]: Support configurable auto-rename of session after N messages #29002
Description
Describe the enhancement you want to request
Currently, OpenCode auto-generates session titles based only on the first message of the conversation. As the conversation evolves, the title often becomes misleading or irrelevant, making it hard to find and resume sessions via /sessions.
I propose adding a configurable auto-rename feature that re-generates the session title based on recent context after a user-defined number of messages.
Example config in opencode.json:
{
"session": {
"autoRename": {
"enabled": true,
"interval": 10 // Re-generate title every N messages
}
}
}How it would work:
- After every N messages (configurable), the AI re-evaluates the conversation context and generates a concise, descriptive session title.
- The user can also trigger manual rename via
/renameas before. - The feature should be opt-in (disabled by default to avoid unexpected behavior).
Why this helps:
- Sessions with long conversations stay accurately labeled.
/sessionsand/resumebecome far more useful when titles reflect current context, not just the starting topic.- Users working on multiple parallel sessions benefit greatly from meaningful session names.
Alternatives considered:
- Manual
/rename— works but requires user to remember and interrupt flow. - Plugin
opencode-session-renamer— only renames based on first message, same limitation.

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

~/.config/opencode/session-auto-rename.jsonc.This plugin was entirely written using OpenCode itself. 😄
