This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

• Error AI_NoObjectGeneratedError response did not match schema for opencode create agent #2040: Error AI_NoObjectGeneratedError response did not match schema for opencode create agent - Similar agent creation failure with schema validation errors
• Agent runs "sudo" and freezes UI when analyzing system configs (e.g. Apache) #3212: Agent runs "sudo" and freezes UI when analyzing system configs - Related to sudo permission issues, though different context
• App becomes unresponsive when executing commands requiring sudo password #652: App becomes unresponsive when executing commands requiring sudo password - Also related to sudo command handling issues

The permission/sudo aspect is similar to #3212 and #652, while the agent creation failure is similar to #2040, though with different error messages.

Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.

I read these other issues previously and believe this to be different.

looks like opencode doesnt have access to whatever file you wanted to save the agent to? Was this a global or “local” agent?

It may be an issue with permissions for the executable on your machine

It was to create a new agent, so there was no file yet.

Thats definitely possible re: perms. I'm able to use opencode otherwise without issue. And of course this isn't a huge deal, but thought it could be another symptom of something deeper. I'll reinstall when I get a chance and close if that fixes it.

Could also be permissions maybe you need to chown -R $USER ~/.config/opencode or something
