OpenCode Memory Browser
Read-only lookup for local OpenCode history. Use it only when prior sessions, plans, or decisions would help. Do not inject history by default.
Use When
- User asks for history, previous sessions, last time, plans, recall, or memory.
- Resuming a project where prior OpenCode context may matter.
- Debugging a repeat issue that may have appeared earlier.
Do not use when repo files/git already answer the question or the task is new.
Rules
- Read-only. Never modify OpenCode DB/files.
- Use
sqlite3with read-only URI. Do not read the DB with file-read tools. - Keep results small with
LIMITand targetedLIKE. - Summarize relevant findings; do not dump raw history.
- Avoid auth/provider tables:
account,credential,control_account,account_state.
Setup
Run this first in bash:
bashDATA_ROOT="${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/opencode" STATE_ROOT="${XDG_STATE_HOME:-$HOME/.local/state}/opencode" DB="$(opencode db path 2>/dev/null || true)" [ -n "$DB" ] || DB="${OPENCODE_DB:-$DATA_ROOT/opencode.db}" case "$DB" in :memory:|/*) ;; *) DB="$DATA_ROOT/$DB" ;; esac if [ ! -f "$DB" ]; then for candidate in "$DATA_ROOT"/opencode*.db; do [ -f "$candidate" ] && DB="$candidate" && break done fi DB_URI="file:${DB}?mode=ro"
Useful files:
- Plans:
$DATA_ROOT/plans/*.md - Prompt history:
$STATE_ROOT/prompt-history.jsonl - Session diffs:
$DATA_ROOT/storage/session_diff/<session-id>.json
Queries
Summary
bashsqlite3 "$DB_URI" " SELECT 'projects', COUNT(*) FROM project UNION ALL SELECT 'main sessions', COUNT(*) FROM session WHERE parent_id IS NULL UNION ALL SELECT 'messages', COUNT(*) FROM message UNION ALL SELECT 'parts', COUNT(*) FROM part UNION ALL SELECT 'todos', COUNT(*) FROM todo; "
Recent sessions
bashsqlite3 "$DB_URI" " SELECT s.id, COALESCE(s.title, 'untitled') AS title, COALESCE(p.name, p.worktree, '') AS project, datetime(s.time_updated/1000, 'unixepoch', 'localtime') AS updated, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM message m WHERE m.session_id = s.id) AS messages FROM session s LEFT JOIN project p ON p.id = s.project_id WHERE s.parent_id IS NULL ORDER BY s.time_updated DESC LIMIT 10; "
Search text
Replace SEARCH_TERM first.

Read session text
Replace SESSION_ID_HERE first. Text parts only; use the reference for tool,
patch, file, reasoning, or V2 internals.
bashsqlite3 "$DB_URI" " SELECT json_extract(m.data, '$.role') AS role, datetime(m.time_created/1000, 'unixepoch', 'localtime') AS time, GROUP_CONCAT(json_extract(p.data, '$.text'), char(10)) AS text FROM message m LEFT JOIN part p ON p.message_id = m.id AND json_extract(p.data, '$.type') = 'text' WHERE m.session_id = 'SESSION_ID_HERE' GROUP BY m.id ORDER BY m.time_created ASC LIMIT 50; "
Plans And Prompt History
bashls -lt "$DATA_ROOT"/plans/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -20 tail -20 "$STATE_ROOT"/prompt-history.jsonl 2>/dev/null
Prompt history entries currently use input, mode, and parts[]; do not
assume root text.
Deep Reference
Use references/storage-format.md only when you need table details, part/tool shapes, legacy JSON paths, or debug queries.
