| name | codex-session-exporter |
| description | Export Codex rollout/session JSONL as a self-contained HTML report that can be opened offline. Use when a user provides a complete session file path or Codex session ID, or asks to export a Codex session to HTML, generate a session report, or convert a rollout to HTML. Supports exact full-ID lookup in the CODEX_HOME sessions and archived_sessions directories. |
Codex Session Exporter
Use the bundled script for path resolution and HTML export. Do not rewrite the parser ad hoc.
Workflow
- Obtain the user's input: an existing JSONL path or a complete UUID session ID.
- Determine the output path. Use a user-specified path exactly; otherwise, use
codex-session-<session-id>.html in the current working directory.
- Run:
python3 "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/export_session.py" "$SESSION_OR_ID" \
--output "$OUTPUT_HTML"
- Return both absolute paths printed by the script:
Session source and
HTML report exported.
SKILL_DIR is the current skill's real directory. Do not assume the caller runs from the
repository root.
Session ID lookup
Accept only a complete UUID, not a prefix or fuzzy ID. Search these locations in order by default:
$CODEX_HOME/sessions/**/rollout-*-<session-id>.jsonl
$CODEX_HOME/archived_sessions/**/rollout-*-<session-id>.jsonl
- Use
~/.codex when CODEX_HOME is unset
If the session is under an isolated benchmark agent-home/.codex, pass that home explicitly:
python3 "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/export_session.py" "$SESSION_ID" \
--codex-home "/absolute/path/to/agent-home/.codex" \
--output "$OUTPUT_HTML"
If no session is found, report the searched CODEX_HOME. If multiple files match, do not choose
one; ask the user for a complete path.
Constraints
- Use Python 3.11+ and do not install dependencies.
- Do not modify the original JSONL.
- Do not attempt to decrypt reasoning; show only plaintext summaries already present in the
rollout.
- Preserve the report's ability to download the original JSONL. The report contains the complete
session text; do not upload or share it without user authorization.
- For export-only requests, do not invoke the benchmark parser or analysis scripts. Use
codex-session-analyzer when the user needs an explanation of failures, timing, or tool paths.
