| description | Harvest Cursor agent transcripts into agent-prompt-tuning-lab: pnpm harvest:all, seed-manifest, env vars, subagents, and gold tagging. Use when collecting or re-indexing local Cursor JSONL for this repo. |
Cursor transcript harvest
Run on the host where ~/.cursor/projects exists (not inside a devcontainer-only shell unless harvesting devcontainer paths).
Full harvest
cd /path/to/agent-prompt-tuning-lab
pnpm harvest:all
pnpm seed-manifest
pnpm normalize
harvest:all = host --all --unpack + devcontainer unpack. Subagent files land at:
data/raw/<source>/<YYYYMMDD>/<workspace-slug>/<parent-session-id>/subagents/<subagent-id>.jsonl
Selective harvest
pnpm harvest:host -- --all --unpack
CURSOR_REPO_NAMES=my-app,other-repo pnpm harvest:host -- --unpack
pnpm harvest:devcontainer -- --unpack
| Variable | Purpose |
|---|
CURSOR_PROJECTS_HOST | Override ~/.cursor/projects |
CURSOR_REPO_NAMES | Comma-separated slug fragments |
CURSOR_TRANSCRIPTS_DEVCONTAINER | Override devcontainer transcripts path |
After harvest
pnpm seed-manifest — append manifest rows (parent_session_id for subagents).pnpm normalize — default --source host to avoid duplicate sessions from devcontainer copies.- Optional gold tags:
pnpm tag-manifest -- --tag gold --session-id <uuid>.
