Recap

OpenCode TUI sidebar plugin that generates a short Markdown session recap on demand.

Features

• Auto-generates a recap every 5 messages
• Recap is discarded after 5 more messages (10-message cycle)
• Click Recap in the sidebar to manually trigger generation
• Stays in the sidebar (does not pollute the chat thread)
• Uses the most recent 10 messages as recap context
• Creates a short-lived throwaway session for generation

Installation

opencode plugin add @npv12/opencode-recap

Or add to your opencode.json:

{
  "plugins": {
    "@npv12/opencode-recap": {}
  }
}

Model Selection

By default, recap uses opencode/deepseek-v4-flash-free.

You can override it by setting both providerID and modelID:

{
  "plugins": {
    "@npv12/opencode-recap": {
      "providerID": "github-copilot",
      "modelID": "gemini-3-flash-preview"
    }
  }
}
