To delegate large refactors without context overload, you can hand off multi-step repository work to OpenCode CLI using a non-interactive run. This reduces main agent context usage and cost by isolating execution while keeping the primary thread aligned.

Context handoff discipline ensures a subagent receives comprehensive shared state for complex code generation, including the goal, prior decisions, scope, constraints, and verification commands. This keeps isolated execution aligned with the main thread.

You can run non-interactive code generation and refactoring in CI automation by executing OpenCode CLI with model selection and JSON formatting. This allows multi-step work to run in GitHub Actions-style workflows without manual intervention.

Yes, broad architectural changes require an explicit context handoff for non-interactive runs. You must provide model selection, JSON formatting, goal, prior decisions, scope, constraints, verification, and expected output to ensure proper execution.

You should avoid delegating repository changes to an isolated subagent when the work cannot be clearly defined by an explicit context handoff. Without providing specific goals, scope, constraints, and verification commands, isolated execution may fail to stay aligned.

The best way to reduce context cost during deep architectural refactoring is delegating the multi-file work to OpenCode CLI. This offloads the processing from your primary agent, minimizing context window usage and associated expenses.
