Sharing Conversations

Overview

OpenCode’s sharing feature allows you to create public links to your conversations, making it easy to collaborate with team members, share knowledge, and get help from colleagues. The /share command generates a shareable URL that anyone can use to view your conversation.

Using the /share Command

Basic Usage

To share your current conversation, simply type:

/share

Keyboard Shortcut

You can also use the keyboard shortcut:

Ctrl+X S

What Happens When You Share

When you run the /share command:

  1. OpenCode generates a unique public URL for your conversation
  2. The URL is copied to your clipboard for easy sharing
  3. You’ll see a confirmation message with the shareable link
  4. The conversation becomes publicly accessible via the link

Example Output

✓ Conversation shared successfully
✓ Link copied to clipboard: https://opencode.share/abc123def456

Anyone with this link can view your conversation. Be careful not to share sensitive information.

Unsharing Conversations

To stop sharing a conversation and revoke public access:

/unshare

This will remove the public link and make the conversation private again.

Best Practices

Security Considerations

Effective Sharing

  1. Be selective: Only share conversations that are genuinely useful to others
  2. Add context: Include a brief explanation when sharing links
  3. Follow up: After sharing, check in with team members for feedback
  4. Clean up: Use /unshare when the conversation is no longer needed

Organizing Shared Conversations

  • Create a shared document: Maintain a list of useful shared conversations
  • Use descriptive session names: Make it easy to identify what each conversation is about
  • Tag relevant team members: When sharing links, mention who might benefit most

Advanced Usage

Sharing Specific Parts of Conversations

While the /share command shares the entire conversation, you can:

  1. Use /new to start a focused conversation on a specific topic
  2. Work through the issue with OpenCode
  3. Share only that specific conversation
  4. Keep sensitive information in private conversations

Combining with Other Commands

  • /compact + /share: First summarize long conversations to make them more readable
  • /export + /share: Export as Markdown for offline reference, then share the link for online access
  • /sessions + /share: Switch between sessions and share specific ones as needed
