[Question] Agent behaviour issue

[hkpmatt]

Your Question

What would you like to know?
I find out the the agent tend to repsond a short sentence instead of working on the code

Context

Tried to working on my project via discord but agent tend to respond short sentence instead, is there anyway we can add a session command to choose which session to access via discord?

What I've Tried

Describe what you've already tried or looked at:

• Checked the README
• Checked existing issues
• Tried troubleshooting steps

Environment (if relevant)

• OS:
• Node.js version:
• remote-opencode version:

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to open this issue! Let me address both of your points.

1. Agent responding with short sentences instead of working on code

This is actually related to how the underlying AI model in OpenCode behaves, rather than something remote-opencode controls directly — our bot simply forwards your prompt to OpenCode and streams back the response as-is.

That said, here are a few things that might help:

• Try being more specific in your prompts. For example, instead of "fix the bug", something like "Look at src/auth.ts and fix the login validation bug. Show me the code changes." tends to produce much better results.
• Check which model you're using. You can set the model per channel with /model — some models are more inclined to take action and write code than others.
• Check your queue settings. By default, fresh_context is set to true, which means each queued message starts a brand-new session without any prior conversation history. This can sometimes cause the model to give shorter, less contextualized responses. You can try /queue settings fresh_context:False to maintain conversation continuity within a thread.

2. Session selection command via Discord

Great question! Currently, sessions are automatically mapped to Discord threads — each thread maintains its own persistent OpenCode session. So if you continue sending messages (or use /opencode) within the same thread, you'll stay in the same session.

That said, I'd love to understand your use case better before considering a new command. For instance:

• Are you looking to resume a previous conversation from a different thread?
• Or would you like to switch between multiple active sessions within a single thread?

Any additional context on the workflow you have in mind would be really helpful. Feel free to share more details, and we can explore whether a session selection feature would be a good fit!

Thanks again for the feedback 🙏

Thank you for answering my question on model context, I am sure the model I use doesn't limit the context. With that being said, it will only be the caused by session.

For session, I would love to resume the session I had previously with opencode (not via discord) but via cli on my device, So that the context I had with my project and be resume via discord.

Thanks for the follow-up, @hkpmatt — this really clarifies things!

Resuming a CLI session from Discord

Got it — you want to pick up an existing CLI session from Discord without losing the conversation context. This is a great idea, and the underlying plumbing partially supports it already, so it's definitely feasible. I'll re-label this as a feature request and keep it open.

About the short responses

I'd still like to reproduce this on my end. Could you share:

• Which model you're using? (e.g., anthropic/claude-sonnet-4)
• An example prompt that produced a short response instead of code work?
• A screenshot of the response you got?

Even one concrete example would help narrow it down.

Thanks again! 🙏
