opencode-restart

OpenCode plugin that restarts the current instance and rejoins the session with a continuation message. Useful for testing plugins that need a fresh process.

Install

npm install opencode-restart

Configure

Add to your opencode.json:

{
  "plugin": {
    "opencode-restart": true
  }
}

How it works

The plugin provides a restart tool that:

1. Writes a restart marker file (.opencode-restart.json) with the session ID and continuation message
2. Spawns a shell process that waits for the current server to shut down, then launches a new opencode instance
3. Disposes the current instance, which causes the server to exit
4. The spawned shell detects the shutdown and starts a fresh opencode process
5. On startup, the plugin finds the marker file, removes it, and sends the continuation message to the original session

Usage

The AI agent can call the restart tool:

restart({ message: "Restarted successfully. Continuing where we left off." })

Files

The plugin creates a temporary .opencode-restart.json marker file in the project directory during restart. Add it to your .gitignore:

.opencode-restart.json
