shell
pnpm add -D opencode-idle-sinceOpenCode loads npm dependencies through its embedded runtime on startup and caches them locally — no manual global install needed.
Know exactly how long your opencode session has been sitting idle — a quiet line in the sidebar.

When the agent finishes and the session goes quiet, the sidebar shows idle since 14:32:07. As soon as the session is busy again the line disappears, and it comes back with a fresh timestamp the next time the session goes idle.
Install
opencode plugin opencode-idle-since -g
Restart opencode. That's it — the plugin registers itself in your tui.json.
Manual install
Add the package to the plugin array of ~/.config/opencode/tui.json:
{
"plugin": ["opencode-idle-since"]
}
Restart opencode afterwards.
Disable
Plugins are enabled by default. Turn this one off by its id:
{
"plugin_enabled": {
"idle-since": false
}
}
Notes
- Shows the current session only.
- The time is rendered with
toLocaleTimeString(), so it follows your system locale. - npm plugin packages are cached under
~/.cache/opencode/packages/.
