opencode-background-agents Keep working while research runs in the background. Your work survives context compaction. A plugin for OpenCode that enables async background delegation. Fire off research tasks, continue brainstorming or coding, and retrieve results when you need them. Why This Exists Context windows fill up. When that happens, compaction kicks in and your AI loses track of research it just did. You end up re-explaining, re-researching, starting over. Background agents solve this: Keep working - Delegate research and continue your conversation. Brainstorm, code review, discuss architecture - you're not blocked waiting. Survive compaction - Results are saved to disk as markdown. When context gets tight, the AI knows exactly where to retrieve past research. Fire and forget - Use the "waiter model": you don't follow the waiter to the kitchen. A notification arrives when your order is ready. Installation If you don't have OCX installed, install it from the OCX repository.
