opencode-alert

TUI notification plugin for OpenCode v2 — desktop and sound alerts for sessions open in each window, with project-level configuration.

Features

• Desktop notifications (Windows Toast, macOS Notification Center, Linux notify-send)
• Sound alerts with custom audio file support
• Window-local session filtering, including inactive open tabs
• Smart filtering: quiet hours, throttle
• Project-level configuration with deep merge
• Zero context pollution (no tools or prompts injected)

Tech Stack

• Runtime: TypeScript (strict ESM), Node.js ≥18
• Plugin format: OpenCode v2 plugin ({ id, setup } default export, loaded as TS source — no build step)
• Test: Vitest
• Lint: Biome
• Desktop notifications: OS shell commands (osascript / notify-send / PowerShell toast with AUMID)
• Sound: Platform-native commands (afplay / ffplay / PowerShell)
• Config: JSONC with deep merge and JSON Schema validation

Installation

The TUI migration described here is Unreleased. Use a local checkout containing these changes; the published 2.0.0 package does not include this migration.

Configure the TUI

Add the local plugin directory to plugins in tui.json (for example, ~/.config/opencode/tui.json):

{
  "plugins": ["file:///path/to/opencode-alert"]
}

On Windows, use a URL such as file:///D:/projects/opencode-alert. Reload the plugin or restart the TUI after updating the checkout.

Existing opencode.json plugin references can remain: the server entry only registers the plugin so the TUI can discover its TUI feature; it does not subscribe to events or send notifications. Avoid adding duplicate references through several installation methods.

Project discovery and entry points

Alternatively, copy this checkout into .opencode/plugins/opencode-alert/ (plural plugins). Local discovery requires a plugin directory. The physical tui.ts file is the TUI entry; index.ts is the inactive server compatibility entry. Package exports provide ./tui plus . and ./server.

Configuration

Create ~/.config/opencode/alert.jsonc (global) or .opencode/alert.jsonc (project):

{
  // Global toggle
  "enabled": true,

  // Desktop notifications
  "desktop": {
    "enabled": true,
    "events": ["idle", "error", "permission"]
  },

  // Sound notifications
  "sound": {
    "enabled": true,
    "events": {
      "idle": "ding.wav",
      "error": "alert.wav",
      "permission": "ping.wav"
    },
    "default": "ding.wav",
    "customDir": "~/.config/opencode/alert-sounds/"
  },

  // Smart filtering
  "filter": {
    "quietHours": {
      "enabled": false,
      "start": "22:00",
      "end": "08:00"
    },
    "minInterval": 5
  }
}

Config Search Order

1. OPENCODE_ALERT_CONFIG environment variable
2. .opencode/alert.jsonc (project)
3. alert.jsonc (project root)
4. ~/.config/opencode/alert.jsonc (global)

Project config overrides global config (deep merge). The TUI loads configuration on this machine using the event session's directory. If session metadata is unavailable, it uses the TUI location or its default location. Configurations are cached per directory until plugin reload, so open tabs from different projects retain their own settings.

With suppressWhenFocused: true, focus is tracked from this TUI renderer's focus and blur events. Before either event has arrived, focus is unknown and notifications are allowed as a best-effort fallback. The plugin does not inspect other terminal processes to infer this window's focus.

Minimal Config

{ "enabled": true }

Events

The plugin subscribes to OpenCode v2 events and maps them to internal alert types:

v2 Event	Internal Alert	Trigger	Data Used
session.execution.succeeded	idle — Task Completed	AI turn finished	sessionID
session.execution.failed	error — Error Occurred	Execution error	sessionID, error
session.execution.interrupted	cancel — Cancelled	User interruption only (reason === "user")	sessionID, reason
permission.asked	permission — Permission Required	Permission request	message, or action + resources
form.created	question — Question	Form prompt raised	form.title, form.fields
session.tool.input.started	— (recorded)	Tool call started; name recorded by call ID	id, name
session.tool.success	subagent — Subagent Done	task tool completion, matched via call ID	id, content

Only sessions open in this TUI window are eligible. With tabs enabled, all open root-session tabs are included, even when inactive. Without tabs, only the current session page and its family are included; home and plugin pages receive no session alerts. Permissions and questions from child sessions can notify through their open parent tab. Child-session completion events remain excluded from the parent task's completion alert.

The plugin deduplicates envelope event IDs for 24 hours using atomic claims in ~/.config/opencode/alert-events. A writable shared directory prevents duplicate delivery by separate plugin modules or processes, independently of filter.minInterval; a new event ID can still notify subject to the configured filters. Expired claims are removed during subsequent notification activity. If storage is unavailable, deduplication falls back to bounded, best-effort memory state. Events without IDs retain the existing throttle behavior.

Closing the TUI or unloading the plugin cancels pending notifications. Delayed notifications recheck the open tabs, current route, renderer lifetime, and focus before sending, so closing a tab or leaving the session page also suppresses its pending alert. Notifications already displayed by the operating system are not withdrawn. On all platforms, including Windows, desktop.enabled and desktop.events control desktop popups; sound is configured independently. Windows registration and notification processes run asynchronously so they do not block the TUI.

Relationship with TUI Notifications

OpenCode v2's TUI ships built-in notifications (configurable via the attention settings in tui.json). This plugin runs inside the TUI and sends OS desktop notifications and sounds for its open sessions. It does not intercept or replace the renderer's triggerNotification, and it does not notify after the TUI closes.

If you have explicitly enabled TUI notifications or sounds, they can overlap with this plugin's alerts. To use this plugin for those channels, set the following in tui.json. The plugin does not change this configuration automatically.

{ "attention": { "notifications": false, "sound": false } }

Requirements

• OpenCode: v2 or later. OpenCode v1 users should stay on 0.2.x — 2.0.0 is a breaking major release targeting the v2 plugin API.

Desktop Notifications

• Windows: No additional setup (PowerShell toast, AUMID auto-registered)
• macOS: No additional setup (uses Notification Center)
• Linux: Requires notify-send (install: sudo apt install libnotify-bin)

Sound

• macOS: No additional setup (uses afplay)
• Linux: Requires ffmpeg (install: sudo apt install ffmpeg)
• Windows: No additional setup (uses PowerShell SoundPlayer/MediaPlayer)

Comparison

Feature	@chousyn/opencode-alert	opencode-notify	opencode-notificator
Windows	Yes	Yes	No
Custom sounds	All platforms	macOS only	All platforms
Project config	Yes	No	No
Quiet hours	Yes	Yes	No
Toggle enabled	Yes	No (uninstall)	Yes
npm published	Yes	No (OCX)	No (manual)

Development

npm install
npm test
npm run lint
npx tsc --noEmit

When running OpenCode v2 from source (e.g. bun run packages/cli), use bun >= 1.4 — older bun versions fail to load file:// directory plugins due to an upstream host resolution issue.
