FAQPage Schema

How do I search past conversation history stored in JSONL files?▼

Search past conversation history in JSONL files using the jq command-line processor and ripgrep. This approach filters historical session logs to retrieve user queries, assistant responses, and cost data from previous agent sessions.

Can I extract assistant responses and cost data from previous agent sessions?▼

Yes, you can extract assistant responses and cost data from previous agent sessions by applying jq filters to your JSONL session logs. This allows precise retrieval of specific conversation transcripts and usage metrics.

Do I need jq and ripgrep installed to analyze session logs?▼

Yes, you need both jq and ripgrep (rg) installed to analyze session logs. Jq processes the JSONL structure while ripgrep handles efficient text pattern matching within the log files.

What is the best way to retrieve historical context from older parent conversations?▼

The best way to retrieve historical context from older parent conversations is querying the stored JSONL session logs with jq. It directly parses the structured log data to find referenced discussions outside current memory.

How to find specific user messages from a certain date in conversation logs?▼

Find specific user messages from a certain date in conversation logs by running jq queries against the JSONL files. You can filter session transcripts by date ranges and extract the exact user queries and tool usage data needed.

Why use jq for searching agent session logs instead of standard text search?▼

Use jq for searching agent session logs because it parses the structured JSONL format accurately, unlike standard text search. Jq isolates specific JSON fields like cost data and tool usage that plain text matching cannot reliably extract.
