feat: Add model optimization toggle with status bar display and plugin access

claude · claude · commit bb1e9884a2d5 · 2025-11-17T11:16:31.000Z
Implemented a user-controlled toggle for model optimization that:
- Shows OPTIMIZE: ON/OFF in the status bar (bottom, next to model info)
- Provides toggle command via command palette (Cmd+O)
- Makes state available to plugins via prompt.before hook
- Persists state across sessions to ~/.opencode/state/optimize.json

Changes:
- Added optimize state management to local context (TUI)
- Updated status bar to display optimization state with color coding
- Added toggle command to command palette under Agent category
- Extended PromptInput schema to include optimizeEnabled field
- Updated prompt.before hook to pass optimization state to plugins
- Updated plugin types to include optimizeEnabled in input

Plugins can now check input.optimizeEnabled and skip model switching
when disabled, giving users full control over optimization behavior.

Default state: ON (optimization enabled)

+# Model Optimization Toggle Feature
+
+## Overview
+
+Added a toggle to control model optimization in OpenCode with status bar display and plugin access.
+
+## Features
+
+### 1. Status Bar Display
+The bottom status bar now shows the optimization state next to the model info:
+```
+anthropic claude-sonnet-4-5    OPTIMIZE: ON
+```
+
+- **Green "ON"** when enabled
+- **Gray "OFF"** when disabled
+
+### 2. Toggle Command
+Access via command palette (`Cmd+O` or configured keybind):
+- Command: "Toggle model optimization (ON/OFF)"
+- Category: Agent
+- Keybind: `optimize_toggle` (can be configured in keybindings)
+
+### 3. Plugin Access
+Plugins can now access the optimization state via the `prompt.before` hook:
+
+```typescript
+export const MyPlugin = async () => {
+  return {
+    "prompt.before": async (input, output) => {
+      // Check if optimization is enabled
+      if (input.optimizeEnabled) {
+        // Apply optimizations
+        if (input.prompt.includes("simple")) {
+          output.model = {
+            providerID: "anthropic",
+            modelID: "claude-3-5-haiku-20241022"
+          }
+        }
+      } else {
+        // Skip optimization - use default model
+        console.log("Optimization disabled, using default model")
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Persistent State
+The toggle state is saved to `~/.opencode/state/optimize.json` and persists across sessions.
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Files Modified
+
+1. **packages/opencode/src/cli/cmd/tui/context/local.tsx**
+   - Added `optimize` state management
+   - Provides `enabled`, `toggle()`, and `set()` methods
+   - Persists state to disk
+
+2. **packages/opencode/src/cli/cmd/tui/component/prompt/index.tsx**
+   - Added "OPTIMIZE: ON/OFF" display in status bar
+   - Shows next to model info with color coding
+
+3. **packages/opencode/src/cli/cmd/tui/app.tsx**
+   - Added "Toggle model optimization" command
+   - Accessible via command palette
+
+4. **packages/opencode/src/session/prompt.ts**
+   - Added `optimizeEnabled` to `PromptInput` schema
+   - Passes state to `prompt.before` hook
+
+5. **packages/plugin/src/index.ts**
+   - Added `optimizeEnabled: boolean` to `prompt.before` input type
+   - Plugins can now check optimization state
+
+## Usage
+
+### For Users
+
+1. **Toggle optimization:**
+   - Press `Cmd+O` (or your command palette key)
+   - Type "toggle model"
+   - Select "Toggle model optimization"
+   - Or configure a dedicated keybinding for `optimize_toggle`
+
+2. **Check current state:**
+   - Look at the bottom status bar
+   - You'll see "OPTIMIZE: ON" (green) or "OPTIMIZE: OFF" (gray)
+
+### For Plugin Developers
+
+Update your plugin to respect the optimization toggle:
+
+```typescript
+export const ModelOptimizerPlugin = async () => {
+  return {
+    "prompt.before": async (input, output) => {
+      // Only optimize if user has it enabled
+      if (!input.optimizeEnabled) {
+        return // Skip optimization
+      }
+
+      // Your optimization logic here
+      if (isSimpleTask(input.prompt)) {
+        output.model = cheapModel
+      } else if (isComplexTask(input.prompt)) {
+        output.model = powerfulModel
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Example Plugin
+
+```typescript
+export const TestPlugin = async () => {
+  console.log("🎯 Test Plugin Loaded!")
+
+  return {
+    "prompt.before": async (input: any, output: any) => {
+      console.log("\n" + "=".repeat(60))
+      console.log("🔥 PROMPT.BEFORE HOOK FIRED!")
+      console.log("=".repeat(60))
+      console.log("Session:", input.sessionID)
+      console.log("Agent:", input.agent)
+      console.log("Prompt:", input.prompt)
+      console.log("Optimize Enabled:", input.optimizeEnabled ? "✅ ON" : "❌ OFF")
+      console.log("=".repeat(60) + "\n")
+
+      // Only apply model optimization if enabled
+      if (input.optimizeEnabled) {
+        if (input.prompt.toLowerCase().includes("simple")) {
+          output.model = {
+            providerID: "anthropic",
+            modelID: "claude-3-5-haiku-20241022"
+          }
+          console.log("✅ SWITCHED TO HAIKU (optimization enabled)\n")
+        }
+      } else {
+        console.log("⏭️  Skipping optimization (disabled by user)\n")
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+1. **Start OpenCode:**
+   ```bash
+   cd ~/Development/ai/opencode-auto
+   bun dev
+   ```
+
+2. **Check initial state:**
+   - Bottom status bar should show "OPTIMIZE: ON" (default)
+
+3. **Toggle it:**
+   - Press `Cmd+O`
+   - Type "toggle model"
+   - Select the command
+   - Status bar should update to "OPTIMIZE: OFF"
+   - Toast message confirms the change
+
+4. **Test with plugin:**
+   - Send prompt: "This is a simple task"
+   - With OPTIMIZE ON: Should switch to Haiku
+   - With OPTIMIZE OFF: Should use default model
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **User Control**: Users can enable/disable model optimization without changing plugins
+2. **Cost Savings**: Users can turn off optimization to always use their preferred model
+3. **Debugging**: Easy to test with/without optimization
+4. **Plugin Respect**: Plugins can check the user's preference instead of forcing optimization
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Add keybinding configuration documentation
+- Consider adding optimization profiles (aggressive/balanced/conservative)
+- Add metrics tracking (how much $ saved with optimization ON)
