OpenChamber

Agent Control Tool

Use the openchamber agent tool to manage work in the app directly from chat. It is enabled by default when OpenChamber runs its own local OpenCode server; there is no separate tool to install or shell command to run.

What you can ask

Ask the agent in plain language. For example:

  • “Create a new OpenChamber session in this project, use the openai/gpt-5.6-sol model, and send it this prompt: review the authentication flow.”
  • “Create a new OpenChamber session for this task in a separate worktree, and ask it to add tests for the login flow.”
  • “Use OpenChamber to list my 10 most recent sessions and include their current status.”
  • “Create an OpenChamber scheduled task named Weekday review that sends this prompt at 09:00 every weekday: review changes since the last run.”
  • “Run the OpenChamber scheduled task named Weekday review now.”
  • “Check the OpenChamber session named Authentication review and show me its latest assistant response.”

The tool can list projects and model preferences, create and follow up on sessions, fork a session, create isolated worktree sessions, and manage scheduled tasks. Sessions started this way appear in OpenChamber like any other session, so you can open them and continue the work yourself.

Keep in mind

  • New session prompts return immediately by default. Follow the session in OpenChamber, or ask the agent to check it later.
  • A separate worktree is only created when you ask for one. Uncommitted changes from your current worktree are not copied into it.
  • The tool cannot delete sessions or worktrees, register project paths, run arbitrary shell commands, or call arbitrary URLs.

Turn the tool on or off

Open Settings → General → OpenCode CLI, change Agent control tool, then select Save + Reload. The setting applies after the managed OpenCode server restarts.

The tool is not available when OpenChamber connects to an external OpenCode server through OPENCODE_HOST or skip-start, or inside the VS Code extension. Desktop and web installations that use OpenChamber’s managed OpenCode server support it automatically.
