Can I get an easily human readable log file with plain text that just shows the whole conversation? #3274
Closed as not planned
Description
Question
Hi guys,
Hope you are well.
Can I get an easily human readable log file with plain text that just shows the whole conversation history from a given session? I can't find that. The log files in .local/share/opencode are hardly human readable. Anyway I just want to see the conversation in txt format.
If this doesn't exist then I would really want it so please make it a feature request.

@bitcoinmeetups kinda depends what you want, few options:
opencode export-> get a json export of entire convo with lots of metadataLet me know if these don't work and what you'd expect instead

I would suggest following feature:
Config option to make Opencode automatically save every conversation locally as a human readable text:
E. g (when enabled)

Hey how are you

Fine
Just pure text, that's all. I don't want to have to manually export every time I browse through an old session. Also I can't read conveniently the current format. And I don't always want to be inside the TUI. I'm more of a CLI person so perhaps I will use opencode run more in the future. Also it's just pure cool and no-nonsense. User wants text logs saved? You got it. So that opencode constantly strives to empower the user, not a centralized entity.
Love opencode and hope that you continue to work on it.

If you wanna save everything as plaintext you could write a plugin to this I think, Idk if we want to add an option to double save all conversations.
We could also make export from command line have a --format md or something but ik you said you didn't wanna export manually

Exporting from command line is ok. As long as it's accessible from command line and not requiring using the TUI. Or if you know another tool that can export those logs to plain text files I could use that too. By the way is there a way to use command line to get the sesson ID's?

you
opencode exportgive the whole dump of a session (including its id), we should add a session list command or something tho.yonson40 commentedon Dec 29, 2025
Any way to get full export of all sessions in one long conversation? Or have to save by each session?
