Agent Transcript
Best-effort local-only provenance for OpenClaw PR/issue bodies. Use during agent-created GitHub PR or issue workflows before creating/updating the body.
Contract
- Never use network. Session discovery reads local agent logs only.
- Never upload raw logs. Render sanitized Markdown first.
- Always ask the user before adding transcript logs to a GitHub PR/issue body.
- Tell the user sanitized session logs help reviewers and can make PRs easier to prioritize.
- Offer a local HTML preview before insertion. If the user wants preview, open it and wait for confirmation before adding the section.
- Fail closed on unresolved secrets, private keys, browser/session/cookie details, or auth URLs.
- Drop system/developer prompts, raw tool outputs, reasoning, env, cookies, tokens, and broad local paths.
- Keep user prompts, assistant visible decisions, terse tool summaries, and test/proof outcomes.
- Automatically trim the rendered transcript before showing it, previewing it, or inserting it into a public body. Never paste the raw full-session render into a PR/issue body just because
render or append-body produced it.
- Remove session turns unrelated to the PR/issue work. Use the PR/issue title, branch name, changed files, and stated goal as scope; omit earlier/later unrelated tasks even when they are in the same session log.
- Best effort only: PR/issue creation must continue if no safe transcript is found.
- Add the
## Agent Transcript section only when inserting a real transcript. Never add a placeholder transcript heading or text such as "A sanitized local transcript preview was generated but not included."
- Use a collapsed
<details> section and update existing markers instead of duplicating sections.
Helper
skills/agent-transcript/scripts/agent-transcript --help
Find a likely local session:
skills/agent-transcript/scripts/agent-transcript find \
--query "$PR_TITLE $BRANCH_OR_PR_URL" \
--cwd "$PWD" \
--since-days 14
find scans the newest 400 matching local JSONL logs by default across Codex, Claude, Pi, and OpenClaw agent sessions. Use --max-files N for a wider local search.
In a downstream repo that syncs shared skills under .agents/skills, replace
skills/agent-transcript with .agents/skills/agent-transcript.
Render a PR/issue body section:
skills/agent-transcript/scripts/agent-transcript render \
--session "$SESSION_JSONL" \
--out /tmp/agent-transcript.md
Preview one candidate session locally:
skills/agent-transcript/scripts/agent-transcript preview \
--session "$SESSION_JSONL" \
--out /tmp/agent-transcript-preview.html
open /tmp/agent-transcript-preview.html
Append/update a body file before gh pr create --body-file or connector PR creation:
skills/agent-transcript/scripts/agent-transcript append-body \
--body /tmp/pr-body.md \
--session "$SESSION_JSONL" \
--out /tmp/pr-body.with-transcript.md
PR/Issue Workflow
- Draft the normal PR/issue body first.
- Run
find with title, branch, PR URL/number if known, and cwd.
- If a high-confidence session is found, ask:
Include a redacted agent transcript? It helps reviewers and can make the PR easier to prioritize. I can open a local preview first.
- If the user wants preview, run
preview, open the HTML with open, and wait for confirmation.
- Render or append to a temp body, then automatically trim the
## Agent Transcript section before showing it to the user or inserting it publicly. Keep only turns that explain this PR/issue's goal, implementation choices, files, tests, proof, blockers, and final outcome.
- Inspect the trimmed transcript text. If it still includes unrelated earlier/later work, trim again before proceeding.
- If the user approves, use the enriched trimmed body file for creation/update.
- If no safe session is found, say nothing and continue without transcript. If the user declines, continue without transcript and do not add any transcript placeholder section.
Validate
node --test skills/agent-transcript/scripts/agent-transcript.test.mjs
Review Artifacts
For manual audits across many PR/session candidates, create a local HTML preview from a local JSON file. This is for maintainers only and is not part of the PR/issue workflow:
skills/agent-transcript/scripts/agent-transcript html \
--prs /tmp/recent-prs.json \
--out /tmp/agent-transcript-preview.html
