shell
pnpm add -D opencode-add-diropencode loads npm dependencies through its embedded runtime on startup and caches them locally — no manual global install needed.
Add working directories to your OpenCode session — inspired by Claude Code's /add-dir command.
When you need an agent to read, edit, or search files outside the current project, this plugin grants access without permission popups.
Quick Start
opencode plugin opencode-add-dir -g
Restart OpenCode. The plugin auto-registers itself in your tui.json — no manual config needed.
Alternative: local development
git clone https://github.com/kuzeofficial/add-dir-opencode.git
cd add-dir-opencode
bun install && bun run deploy
Add the local path to both configs:
// ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json
{ "plugin": ["/path/to/add-dir-opencode"] }
// ~/.config/opencode/tui.json
{ "plugin": ["/path/to/add-dir-opencode"] }
Commands
All commands are interactive TUI dialogs — type the command and select from autocomplete.
| Command | Dialog | Description |
|---|---|---|
/add-dir |
Text input + remember checkbox | Add a working directory. Toggle [x] Remember with tab to persist across sessions. |
/list-dir |
Alert | Shows all added directories. |
/remove-dir |
Select list + confirm | Pick a directory to remove, then confirm. |
How It Works
The plugin has two parts: a TUI plugin for the interactive dialogs and a server plugin for silent permission handling.
TUI Plugin
Handles all three slash commands via dialogs. Directories are stored in two files under ~/.local/share/opencode/add-dir/:
directories.json— Persisted dirs, survive restarts.session-dirs.json— Session-only dirs, cleared automatically on startup.
Which file gets written depends on the "Remember across sessions" toggle in /add-dir.
Respects
XDG_DATA_HOMEif set.
Server Plugin
Runs in the background — no commands, only hooks:
| Hook | What it does |
|---|---|
config |
Injects external_directory: "allow" permission rules for all added dirs at startup |
tool.execute.before |
Pre-authorizes sessions when file tools (read, write, edit, bash, glob, grep, list, apply_patch, multiedit) target an added directory |
event |
Listens for permission.asked events and auto-approves when the path matches an added directory |
experimental.chat.system.transform |
Injects added directory paths into the system prompt so the LLM knows about them |
These three permission layers work together: config handles startup rules, tool.execute.before handles proactive grants during tool calls, and event catches any runtime permission requests that still come through.
Context Injection
By default the system prompt only gets the list of added directories. If you set:
export OPENCODE_ADDDIR_INJECT_CONTEXT=1
The plugin will also read and inject AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and .agents/AGENTS.md from each added directory into the system prompt — useful when working across projects that have their own agent instructions.
