AI Coding Assistant Session Export Tool

Agent Dump

AI Coding Assistant Session Export Tool - Supports exporting session data from multiple AI coding tools to JSON format.

Supported AI Tools

• OpenCode - Open source AI coding assistant
• Claude Code - Anthropic's AI coding tool
• Codex - OpenAI's command-line AI coding assistant
• Kimi - Moonshot AI assistant
• More Tools - PRs are welcome to support other AI coding tools

Features

• Interactive Selection: Provides a friendly command-line interactive interface using questionary
• Multi-Agent Support: Automatically scan session data from multiple AI tools
• Batch Export: Supports exporting all sessions from the last N days
• Specific Export: Export specific sessions by session ID
• Session List: Only list sessions without exporting them
• Direct Text Dump: View session content directly in terminal via URI (e.g., agent-dump opencode://session-id)
• Statistics: Exports include statistics such as token usage and cost
• Message Details: Fully retains session messages, tool calls, and other details
• Smart Title Extraction: Automatically extract session titles from agent metadata
• Session Statistics: View usage statistics grouped by agent and time (--stats)
• Full-Text Search: Local SQLite FTS5 search across session titles, messages, reasoning, and tool state (--search)

Path Discovery

agent-dump resolves session roots in this order: official environment variable, tool default directory, then local development fallback under data/<agent>.

• Codex: CODEX_HOME -> ~/.codex -> data/codex
• Claude Code: CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR -> ~/.claude -> data/claudecode
• Kimi: KIMI_SHARE_DIR -> ~/.kimi -> data/kimi
• OpenCode: XDG_DATA_HOME/opencode -> Windows data directory (LOCALAPPDATA/opencode or APPDATA/opencode) -> ~/.local/share/opencode -> data/opencode

Notes:

• On Windows, prefer configuring the tool's official environment variable when available.
• The data/<agent> fallback is kept for local development and tests.

Installation

Usage

Interactive Export

# Enter interactive mode to select and export sessions
uv run agent-dump --interactive

# Or run as a module
uv run python -m agent_dump --interactive

After running, it will display the list of sessions from the last 7 days grouped by time (Today, Yesterday, This Week, This Month, Earlier). Use the spacebar to select/deselect, and press Enter to confirm the export.

Note: Starting from v0.3.0, the default behavior has changed. Running agent-dump without arguments now shows the help message. Use --interactive to enter interactive mode.

URI Mode (Direct Text Dump)

Quickly view session content directly in the terminal without exporting to a file:

# View a specific session by URI
uv run agent-dump opencode://session-id-abc123

# The URI format is shown in list mode and interactive selector
#   • Session Title (opencode://session-id-abc123)

Supported URI schemes:

• opencode://<session_id> - OpenCode sessions
• codex://<session_id> - Codex sessions
• codex://threads/<session_id> - Codex sessions
• kimi://<session_id> - Kimi sessions
• claude://<session_id> - Claude Code sessions
• cursor://<requestid> - Cursor sessions (requestid is used as URI identifier)

Typical Errors

agent-dump now reports actionable diagnostics instead of a single opaque failure line. Common examples:

诊断信息
结论: 未找到任何可用的本地会话数据。
searched roots:
  - Codex: CODEX_HOME/sessions: /Users/me/.codex/sessions
  - OpenCode: XDG/LOCALAPPDATA opencode.db: /Users/me/.local/share/opencode/opencode.db
下一步:
  - 确认对应 agent 已在本机生成过会话数据。
  - 若使用自定义目录，检查相关环境变量是否指向正确位置。

诊断信息
结论: 未找到匹配的会话。
解析后的 URI: codex://session-123
  - scheme: codex
  - session_id: session-123
下一步:
  - 先运行 `agent-dump --list` 确认该会话是否仍存在。
  - 检查 URI 中的 session id 是否完整且对应正确 provider。

诊断信息
结论: 当前 URI 请求了 Cursor 不支持的导出能力。
缺失能力: Cursor URI 仅支持 json 与 print；当前请求了 raw
下一步:
  - 移除 `raw` 或 `markdown`，改用 `json` 或 `print`。

# Interactive export mode
uv run agent-dump --interactive               # Interactive mode (default 7 days)
uv run agent-dump --interactive -days 3       # Interactive mode (3 days)
uv run agent-dump -days 3                     # Auto-activates list mode
uv run agent-dump -query error                # Auto-activates list mode

# Note: in interactive mode with --query, only agents with keyword matches are shown,
#       and the count shown for each agent is the post-filter matched count.
#
# Query ambiguity rules:
# - `error:timeout` remains a plain keyword query.
# - `codex,kimi:error` remains the legacy agent-scoped query syntax.
# - Structured mode is activated only when a known key appears: provider / role / path / cwd / limit.
# - `role:...` constrains keyword matching to messages of those roles.
# - `limit:...` truncates the final global matched result set, not per-agent pagination.

uv run agent-dump --collect 'agents://.?q=refactor&providers=codex,claude'
uv run agent-dump --shortcut ob 20260408

# Note: --collect converts each session into high-signal events, plans chunks by budget,
#       requests fixed JSON summaries per chunk, merges them deterministically per session,
#       then uses tree reduction for the final aggregate before rendering Markdown.
# Note: during --collect, stderr shows multi-stage progress such as scan_sessions,
#       plan_chunks, summarize_chunks, merge_sessions, tree_reduction, render_final, and write_output.
# Note: collect writes files like agent-dump-collect-20260301-20260305.md.
# Note: --save accepts either a directory or a .md file path. Missing non-.md paths are treated as directories.

# config mode
uv run agent-dump --config view
uv run agent-dump --config edit

# Other options
uv run agent-dump --interactive --format json # Interactive export as JSON (default)
uv run agent-dump --interactive --format markdown   # Interactive export as Markdown
uv run agent-dump --interactive --format json,markdown,raw # Interactive multi-format export
uv run agent-dump --interactive -output ./my-sessions  # Specify output directory

# Compatibility note
# md remains available as an alias for markdown, e.g. --format md,raw
# --head is a URI discovery mode. It does not replace --format print and cannot be combined with --format/--summary.

Full Parameter Reference

Parameter	Description	Default
uri	Agent session URI to dump (e.g., opencode://session-id), or a scoped query URI such as agents://.?q=refactor&providers=codex,claude&roles=user&limit=20	-
--interactive	Run in interactive mode to select and export sessions	-
-d, -days	Query sessions from the last N days	7
-q, -query	Query filter. Supports legacy keyword or agent1,agent2:keyword (e.g. codex,kimi:error), and structured terms like bug provider:codex role:user path:. limit:20. cwd: is an alias of path:. Unknown structured keys are rejected. Cannot be combined with agents://... query URIs.	-
--head	URI mode only. Print lightweight session metadata for discovery; does not export files or print body content. Cannot be combined with --format or --summary.	-
--collect	Collect session print content by date range, optionally constrained by an agents://... query URI, convert sessions into high-signal event streams, summarize fixed-schema JSON chunks, merge them deterministically per session, then tree-reduce the structured results into one final AI summary. Multi-stage progress is shown on stderr.	-
--stats	Show session usage statistics for the last N days, grouped by agent and time. Supports -days. Cannot be combined with other modes.	-
--search	Full-text search across session titles, messages, reasoning, and tool state using local SQLite FTS5. Supports CJK via dual tokenizer (unicode61 + trigram). Auto-fallback to file scan when index is stale or FTS5 unavailable. Can be combined with --list.	-
--reindex	Force rebuild of the full-text search index. Use when index is corrupted or after manual session data changes.	-
--shortcut	Run a configured shortcut preset. Example: agent-dump --shortcut ob 20260408	-
-since, --since	collect start date, supports YYYY-MM-DD or YYYYMMDD	-
-until, --until	collect end date, supports YYYY-MM-DD or YYYYMMDD	-
--save	collect output path. Supports absolute/relative directory or .md file path. If no filename is provided, the default collect filename is used.	-
-config, --config	Config management: view or edit	-
--list	Only list sessions without exporting and print all matched sessions (auto-activated if -days or -query is specified without --interactive)	-
-format, --format	Output format. Supports comma-separated values: json \| markdown \| raw \| print, with md kept as an alias. Default: URI mode print, non-URI mode json. URI mode can mix print,json; --interactive does not support print; --list ignores this option with warning; --head cannot be combined with this option. Cursor URI only supports json and print (no raw/markdown).	-
-summary, --summary	URI mode only. When enabled, summary is generated only if --format includes json and AI config is complete; otherwise a warning is shown and export continues without summary. During AI requests, a loading hint is shown on stderr. Cannot be combined with --head.	-
-p, -page-size	Accepted for compatibility; currently ignored in --list mode	20
-output, --output	Output directory. For json/raw, priority is --output > config.toml [export].output > ./sessions. Relative paths are resolved from the current working directory. Markdown keeps using ./sessions unless --output is explicitly passed. Ignored in --list with warning.	config export.output or ./sessions
-h, --help	Show help message	-

collect configuration file

Default config path:

• macOS/Linux: ~/.config/agent-dump/config.toml
• Windows: %APPDATA%/agent-dump/config.toml

Example:

[ai]
provider = "openai" # openai | anthropic
base_url = "https://api.openai.com/v1"
model = "gpt-4.1-mini"
api_key = "sk-..."

[collect]
summary_concurrency = 4

[export]
output = "../exports"

[shortcut.ob]
params = ["date"]
args = [
  "--collect",
  "--save", "~/Dropbox/OBSIDIAN/XingKaiXin/00_Inbox/{year}/{year_month}/agent-dump-collect-{date}.md",
  "--since", "{date}",
  "--until", "{date}",
]

[agent.claudecode]
deny = [
  "/Users/Kevin/workspace/projects/work/fin-agent/agent",
]

[agent.<name>].deny only applies to --collect. When a session cwd matches one of the configured paths, or is inside that path, the session is ignored during collect.

[export].output defines the global default output root for json/raw exports. It accepts absolute or relative paths. Relative paths are resolved from the directory where agent-dump is executed, not from the config file location.

[shortcut.<name>] defines a reusable shortcut preset. params declares positional input names. args declares the expanded CLI argv template. When date is provided, {year} / {month} / {year_month} are derived automatically.
