Coding Agent Sessions

Use this skill to find and read local coding-agent session history. Prefer the repo-backed TypeScript CLI bundled with coding-agent-sessions-ts; it keeps the same JSON contract as the original Python finder and is the canonical command surface for this skill.

Command Surface

Run the wrapper from this skill directory:

scripts/find-agent-sessions list --limit 20
scripts/find-agent-sessions find "commit" --from 7d --platform codex --platform opencode
scripts/find-agent-sessions find --query "deploy" --query "token usage" --workers 64
scripts/find-agent-sessions find "deploy" --cwd sionicai --cwd storm-cli
scripts/find-agent-sessions read <session-id> --platform codex --grep "find-agent-sessions.py"

find is an alias for search; read is an alias for get.

Search Strategy

For fuzzy recall, expand the user's memory into 3-6 query lanes before searching: product names, repo/package names, exact error text, issue or thread IDs, English/Korean phrasing, and likely verbs such as fix, review, plan, deploy, or merge.

Use repeated --query flags so match_reasons shows which wording found a hit:

scripts/find-agent-sessions find \
  --query "opencode bug" \
  --query "fix opencode" \
  --query "OpenCode parent session" \
  --include-subagents \
  --workers 64

Read promising hits before making claims:

scripts/find-agent-sessions read <session-id> --platform <platform>

When the full transcript is too large, read only matching event snippets:

scripts/find-agent-sessions read <session-id> --platform codex --grep "find-agent-sessions.py"

Output Contract

The CLI prints JSON. Results include:

Field	Meaning
platform	Registered platform key such as codex, claude, aside, opencode, droid, kodu, or aider.
id	Session ID or stable file-derived ID.
path	Raw transcript or index path.
cwd	Working directory when recoverable.
created_at, updated_at	Timestamps when recoverable.
provider, model	Provider and model metadata.
first_user_message, last_user_message	Prompt previews.
usage	Token or cost clues when present.
parent_id	Parent session ID for child sessions.
agent	Subagent label when present.
subagent_count	Number of linked child sessions.
detail_hint	Ready-to-run read command.
match_reasons	Search-only query/field/snippet explanations.

Search includes redacted JSONL event text by default, so tool calls and transcript body text can match even when prompt previews do not. read/get --grep returns matched_events with event_index, event_type, timestamp, query, and a bounded redacted snippet; grep-mode leaves events empty while normal read/get keeps full events.

Filters

Filter	Meaning
--platform	Repeatable platform filter; pass one platform per flag.
--root	Extra root to scan; repeatable.
--from, --to	Date bounds: YYYY-MM-DD, YYYY-MM, YYYY, today, yesterday, or 7d.
--cwd	Working-directory substring; repeatable values are ORed.
--model	Model substring.
--limit	Maximum results.
--query	Repeatable query lane.
--workers	Parallel worker count.
--include-subagents	Include child sessions as standalone results.
--grep	read/get only: repeatable event-text query for concise matched_events.
--excerpt-chars	read/get --grep snippet width. Default: 240.

Use repeated --platform flags. Comma-separated platform values intentionally fail because they hide mistakes.

Subagents

Main-session listing hides child sessions by default and reports subagent_count. Use --include-subagents when delegated work may contain the answer. Reading a main session returns linked child-session metadata when the source exposes it.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
Missing Codex sessions	Codex scans CODEX_HOME, ~/.codex, ~/.codex-local-gui-cli-remote, ~/.codex-gui-cli-remote, and ~/.codex-gui-cli when present. Set CODEX_HOME or pass --root /path/to/.codex for isolated stores.
Missing OpenCode sessions	Set OPENCODE_HOME or pass the storage root.
Missing Claude sessions	Pass the relevant ~/.claude/projects or transcript root.
Full read output is too large	Use read <session-id> --grep <text> to return bounded event snippets.
Wrapper cannot find the CLI	Check .repo-root in this skill directory and run pnpm install && pnpm build in that repository.
Search is slow	Narrow platforms, add date/cwd filters, or raise/lower --workers for the machine.
