Feature: /opencode:ask for one-off read-only OpenCode questions #35

Description

@JohnnyVicious

Summary

There is no dedicated one-off command for arbitrary read-only questions to OpenCode. Users can route through /opencode:rescue, but that command is framed as task delegation and defaults to write-capable behavior unless read-only is requested.

This is distinct from #25 (/opencode:consult), which tracks persistent multi-turn Q&A sessions. /opencode:ask would be ephemeral and single-shot.

Proposed UX

/opencode:ask explain the auth flow in this repository
/opencode:ask what would break if we switched this API from REST to gRPC?

Expected behavior:

  • forwards the user's prompt to OpenCode with repo context
  • uses a read-only agent/tool configuration
  • returns OpenCode's answer verbatim or lightly rendered
  • does not persist a consult session
  • does not write files

Why this helps

It gives users a low-friction path for questions that are not reviews and not implementation tasks.
