agent-session-analytics

agent-session-analytics ingests the session logs of coding agents into one DuckDB database. It then answers SQL queries that cannot write or run commands. It supports the Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OMP, and pi harnesses.

The package ships engine primitives only. It has no canned reports. A caller writes its own SQL against the schema.

Install

uv tool install agent-session-analytics
# or
pip install agent-session-analytics

The only runtime dependency is fromargs. The package calls the duckdb command-line tool and does not need the Python duckdb module. Install DuckDB with one of these commands:

uv tool install duckdb-cli
brew install duckdb
mise use -g duckdb
curl https://install.duckdb.org | sh

The package never downloads DuckDB. When duckdb is not on PATH, ingest and sql exit 3 and print these options.

Commands

Every command prints one JSON document on stdout. Every error is one JSON line on stderr: {"error": <message>, "exit_code": <n>}.

agent-session-analytics ingest
agent-session-analytics db-path | jq -r .path
agent-session-analytics sql "SELECT harness, count(*) AS sessions FROM sessions GROUP BY harness"

sql opens the database read-only and runs in DuckDB safe mode. Safe mode rejects shell commands, file writes, and reads of files outside the database. A rejected query exits 5.

sql ingests an old or absent default database first. It does not ingest a SESSIONS_DB override. It never queries stale data after a failed ingest.

A consumer that queries the database directly runs duckdb -init /dev/null -readonly <database> -json -c "<sql>", where <database> is the path field of db-path.

Exit codes

Database path

• SESSIONS_DB names the database. A relative value joins the current directory. The package does not expand ~ in a set value.
• Otherwise an absolute XDG_CACHE_HOME selects <cache>/dotfiles/session-analytics/sessions.duckdb. A relative or unset value uses ~/.cache.
• SESSIONS_DUCKDB_MEMORY_LIMIT sets the DuckDB memory limit. The default is 8GB.
• CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, CODEX_HOME, and CURSOR_HOME move the log roots.

Ingest writes the transient <db>.tmp and <db>.stage, and a persistent <db>.lock. An fcntl lock serializes ingest runs. Ingest uses umask 077.

Schema version

The database holds a one-row schema_info table with an integer version. The package version of that integer is SCHEMA_VERSION. ingest rebuilds a database whose stored version differs, even inside the freshness window. sql treats a mismatch like a stale database. Only this repository changes the schema.
