session-logs

Search your complete conversation history stored in session JSONL files. Use this when a user references older/parent conversations or asks what was said before.

Trigger

Use this skill when the user asks about prior chats, parent conversations, or historical context that isn't in memory files.

Location

Session logs live at: ~/.all-agents/sessions/.

• <session-id>.jsonl - Full conversation transcript per session
• Channel sessions use IDs like channel:telegram:main:<chat-id>.jsonl or channel:telegram:main:<chat-id>:<suffix>.jsonl

Structure

Each .jsonl file contains messages with:

• ts: ISO timestamp
• role: user, assistant, or tool
• content: message text or serialized tool result JSON
• meta: metadata such as tool_call_id, tool_name, compaction, or followup fields

Common Queries

List all sessions by date and size

for f in ~/.all-agents/sessions/*.jsonl; do
  date=$(head -1 "$f" | jq -r '.ts' | cut -dT -f1)
  size=$(ls -lh "$f" | awk '{print $5}')
  echo "$date $size $(basename $f)"
done | sort -r

Find sessions from a specific day

for f in ~/.all-agents/sessions/*.jsonl; do
  head -1 "$f" | jq -r '.ts' | grep -q "2026-01-06" && echo "$f"
done

Extract user messages from a session

jq -r 'select(.role == "user") | .content' <session>.jsonl

Search for keyword in assistant responses

jq -r 'select(.role == "assistant") | .content' <session>.jsonl | rg -i "keyword"

Count tool results in a session

jq -s '[.[] | select(.role == "tool")] | length' <session>.jsonl

Daily assistant-message summary

for f in ~/.all-agents/sessions/*.jsonl; do
  date=$(head -1 "$f" | jq -r '.ts' | cut -dT -f1)
  count=$(jq -s '[.[] | select(.role == "assistant")] | length' "$f")
  echo "$date $count"
done | awk '{a[$1]+=$2} END {for(d in a) print d, a[d] " assistant messages"}' | sort -r

Count messages in a session

jq -s '{
  messages: length,
  user: [.[] | select(.role == "user")] | length,
  assistant: [.[] | select(.role == "assistant")] | length,
  tool: [.[] | select(.role == "tool")] | length,
  first: .[0].ts,
  last: .[-1].ts
}' <session>.jsonl

Tool usage breakdown

jq -r 'select(.role == "tool") | .meta.tool_name // "unknown"' <session>.jsonl | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn

Search across ALL sessions for a phrase

rg -l "phrase" ~/.all-agents/sessions/*.jsonl

Tips

• Sessions are append-only JSONL (one JSON object per line)
• Large sessions can be several MB - use head/tail for sampling
• Use all-agents sessions list and all-agents sessions show <session-id> for CLI access

Fast text-only hint (low noise)

jq -r 'select(.role=="user" or .role=="assistant") | .content' ~/.all-agents/sessions/<id>.jsonl | rg 'keyword'
