Part of the OpenCode 2 Version Tracker series. | OpenCode on GitHub | OpenCode 2 docs

OpenCode 2 v2.2.1 follows v2.2.0. It adds a /goal command that runs a session until an automatic review agrees the objective is met (#59437), an opt-in image_generate tool behind experimental.image_generate (#59939), and scheduled prompts via /schedule and experimental.schedules (#59401). Desktop gains a searchable model picker and live background-shell inspection.

Goal mode#

/goal <objective> starts a run that continues until an automatic progress review agrees the objective is met, with /goal pause, /goal resume, and /goal clear to control it (#59437). The TUI shows the goal status below the prompt and provides a dialog for pausing, resuming, or clearing it; the command is available in both the TUI and Desktop (#59437).

Image generation#

Setting experimental.image_generate enables an image_generate tool that agents call to create or edit images in the background, with experimental.image_generate.model to set its default model (#59939, #60096). The release adds image-generation support for GPT Image 2 after Codex sign-in, MiniMax, and Meta Muse (#60085, #59929, #60081). Image-edit references and image sizes are sent in the formats OpenRouter, Google, and Vercel Grok expect (#60067, #59927).

Desktop#

• A redesigned, searchable model picker is now the default, with Favorites and Recent sections and keyboard-accessible provider controls (#59997).
• Selecting a running background shell from the activity pill shows its live output and a Stop action without leaving the menu (#59496).
• /reload applies configuration changes without restarting (#59887); the CLI exposes the same as opencode reload.^[1]

Providers and context handling#

• Responses API support lands for OpenRouter, DigitalOcean, and Venice, including freeform tools (#59991, #59963).
• Provider throttling now triggers a retry (#59649), and more context headroom is preserved when fitting tool output into the window (#59934).
• Git snapshots keep working in repositories that use a split index (#59417), and snapshot captures are coalesced to cut repeated ignore-file work (#59419).
• Code Mode diagnostics improve for parse errors, stalled awaits, and promise-like search results (#59834, #59749, #59981).

Breaking changes for @opencode/ai importers#

Code that imports the @opencode/ai package directly loses the fal, Black Forest Labs, Replicate, and Stability providers and their entry points (#59977), and five legacy Bedrock and Vertex entry points are removed in favor of the nested paths that 2.2.0 already exported (#59506). Each provider's configure() input type is renamed to Config (#59765). The CLI, Desktop, and HTTP API are unchanged.

Experimental flags (what's coming)#

Sessions that keep running without a person at each step#

Several of these features let a session do work while no one watches each step. Goal mode continues until its own review step agrees the objective is met, scheduled prompts fire without a person present, and image generation and shells run in the background. /reload and opencode reload apply config to a live server.

That puts more weight on the long-lived server process. A goal run also runs an automatic review step between stretches of work, so a longer objective means more of those checks before the session stops on its own.
