/init command does nothing

[bendavis78]

When I run opencode and type /init, it just clears the chat. It does not create an AGENTS.md file and does not appear to send anything to the LLM.

Here are the logs from when I send the /init command:

It looks like you are on an older opencode version:

version=0.3.2

If you update to latest this should be fixed

I'm using 0.3.67 and /init still does nothing useful (at least using local models). It reasons on a desired course of action, then nothing happens.

Update:
With my current config, using 0.3.80, I am able to generate an AGENTS.md file via /init. One caveat: Of the models I have installed, it only works with qwen3:8b and it must be the first model used in the session. Using an "incorrect" model, then switching to qwen3:8b generally fails.

I'm experiencing an issue where /init generates contents and appears to call create_file tool, but no file is actually created. Are there permissions I need to enable somewhere?

[rekram1-node]

what model are you using @steezeburger that seems like the llm just hallucinating a tool, if you are using a small local one they tend to perform badly (depending on model)

✅ Created AGENTS.md in the repo with build/lint/test commands and concise code style rules for agentic coding. It’s now ready for use by coding agents.

[steezeburger]

@rekram1-node you were correct though! I switched to Claude Sonnet 4 and it created the file successfully.

[rekram1-node]

Btw gpt-5-chat-latest @steezeburger doesn't support tools

[rekram1-node]

I am going to close since these all seem to be model hallucinations, will repeat tho: gpt-5-chat-latest doesn't support tool calling so it will make these fake tool calls but they can't do anything
