Feature hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
Problem:
When agents (primary or subagents) explore external directories—such as cloned repos for reading documentation—OpenCode spawns LSP servers for those directories. This causes:
- Long startup times (30+ seconds for large TypeScript monorepos or Java/JDTLS projects)
- Wasted CPU/memory for LSP that provides no value
- No benefit—when exploring external code for context, diagnostics aren't used
Use case:
Clone a library's repo to let the LLM search its docs/source. Only need file reading—LSP is unnecessary and harmful due to startup overhead.
Proposed solution:
{
"lsp": {
"external_directories": false
}
}Current workarounds (insufficient):
"lsp": false — Disables LSP entirely, including main project- Per-LSP
"disabled": true — Too broad, affects all directories
