How do I search past conversation logs stored in JSONL format?▼

You can search conversation logs stored in JSONL format by using the `jq` command-line tool for structured JSON data extraction and `rg` for rapid text searching across multiple session files.

What is the best way to retrieve historical context from previous sessions?▼

Retrieving historical context from previous sessions is done by querying JSONL log files with `jq` to filter specific message fields and `rg` to locate keyword matches across session history.

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

Yes, you need both `jq` and `rg` (ripgrep) installed, as `jq` handles the JSON processing and data extraction from logs while `rg` provides efficient text searching within log files.

Can I find user-specific session data across multiple JSONL log files?▼

Yes, you can analyze communication patterns and retrieve user-specific session data across multiple JSONL log files by utilizing `jq` for powerful filtering and `rg` for efficient text searching.

How do I extract all assistant messages containing a specific keyword from session logs?▼

To extract assistant messages containing a specific keyword from session logs, pipe the JSONL file through `jq` to filter the message role and use `rg` to match the desired text pattern.

What are the limitations of using command line tools for conversation analysis?▼

Using command-line tools like `jq` and `rg` for conversation analysis requires logs to be strictly in JSONL format, meaning any malformed JSON lines or non-JSON log files will not be processed correctly.
