[FEATURE]: Opt-out for "NEVER commit changes unless the user explicitly asks you to." #24370
Closed as not planned
Description
Feature hasn't been suggested before.
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
i like letting smart models like gpt manage my commits. i have a section on continuous commits in my global AGENTS.md.
however opencode currently hard-codes a rule in packages/opencode/src/tool/bash.txt:
Only create commits when requested by the user. If unclear, ask first.
...
- NEVER commit changes unless the user explicitly asks you to. It is VERY IMPORTANT to only commit when explicitly asked, otherwise the user will feel that you are being too proactive.
please make this configurable. i get the safety aspect and think the current default is sensible, but i would just like an opt-out.

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:
includeGitInstructionsconfig option to control git instruction injection in tool prompts #23014: Requests anincludeGitInstructionsconfig option to control git instruction injection in tool prompts (including the commit rules inbash.txt) — covers the same use case of opting out of the hardcoded commit instructions.bash.txtfor token savings, which would also make those instructions more configurable.Please review those issues to see if your request is already covered or can be addressed there.

This is in almost every provider system prompt as well. Commits are very useful when you prompt the model to do them correctly, they allow for clean delimitation. 'Do not commit' shouldn't be mandatory

Agree. As written, this statement creates conflicting instructions in my workflow. Please remove it, or make it configurable. Thank you for your continued amazing work!

I have this issue too. I have thorough commit discipline rules in my AGENTS.md and they keep being ignored half the time, and I'm pretty sure it's because it conflicts with that section (the agent says so anyway.)

I would also like to have it opt-out.
I just stumbled over this after using OpenCode to refactor and move parts of my codebase. While doing so, all existing comments got removed even though they were still relevant.
