cc-session-core 0.1.0

Typed, exhaustive parser for Claude Code session transcripts (.jsonl), plus a context-map tool.

cc-session-core

Typed, lossless parser for Claude Code session transcripts (~/.claude/projects/**/*.jsonl), plus a session-analysis layer (timeline, tool-call pairing, cost) and a context-map tool built on it.

Each transcript line is validated by a Pydantic TypeAdapter over a discriminated union keyed on the record type. Three layers, each a discriminated union: top-level records, message.content blocks, and attachments. usage, message, and the built-in tools' inputs/results are fully typed; cc_session_core.parsing.tools dispatches per-tool models by tool name, with a raw fallback for MCP/unknown tools.

Parsing is lossless: models keep unknown fields (extra="allow"), and an unmodeled record/block/attachment type lands in an Unknown* carrier that still holds its payload — nothing is dropped or raised. The coverage gate is the schema audit (cc_session_core.report.audit), which reports anything that fell into extra or an Unknown* fallback (field names and value-types only, never values).

Install

pip install -e .          # or: uv pip install -e .

Library

Parse lines into typed records:

from pathlib import Path
from cc_session_core import iter_records, parse_line, ParseFailure

rec = parse_line(line)                       # one JSON line -> typed record

for rec in iter_records(Path("session.jsonl")):
    if isinstance(rec, ParseFailure):
        ...                                  # file, line_number, error, raw
    elif rec.type == "assistant":
        rec.message.usage.input_tokens

Per-tool input/result resolution:

from cc_session_core import parse_tool_input, parse_tool_result, tool_name_index, result_tool_name

typed_input = parse_tool_input(block.name, block.input)         # model, or raw value
index = tool_name_index(records)                                # tool_use_id -> tool name
typed_result = parse_tool_result(result_tool_name(rec, index), rec.tool_use_result)

Analyze a whole session:

from cc_session_core import Session

s = Session.load("session.jsonl")
s.timeline()          # ordered, decomposed events (text / thinking / tool_use / tool_result / ...)
s.tool_calls()        # every tool_use paired with its tool_result, plus the assistant's "why"
s.cost_summary()      # token + cost rollup per model (one API request counted once)
s.label(); s.info()   # human title + one-line summary

Cost uses cc_session_core.cost.pricing (published list rates in EXAMPLE_PRICING); pass your own PriceTable for a different valuation. Rates are a usage valuation, not a billed amount.

CLI

cc-session PATH [--tools] [--queries] [--audit] [--list] [--json] [--strict]
cc-session PATH --export <text|markdown|json|jsonl> [--select k=v ...] [-o OUT]

PATH is a .jsonl file or a project directory (directories load recursively). --tools lists paired tool calls; --queries prints the full why/queried/returned timeline; --list indexes the sessions in a directory; --audit reports schema coverage over the target (field names + value-types only, safe to share).

--export writes a filtered slice of the session; --select narrows it (space-separated key=comma,values): parts= (text,thinking,tool_use,tool_result,image,other), tools=, types=, uuids=, main_only=true. -o writes to a file instead of stdout.

cc-session-map [TRANSCRIPTS_DIR] [-o OUT_DIR]   # default: ~/.claude/projects, .

Aggregates per transcript and overall: turns (main vs sidechain), tool usage, token usage by kind, server web tools, and cost; writes map.json and map.csv into OUT_DIR.

MCP server

cc-session-mcp (stdio) exposes list_sessions, session_summary, tool_calls, export_session, and audit. It needs the mcp extra (pip install "cc-session-core[mcp]"). Register in a Claude Code .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cc-session": { "command": "cc-session-mcp" }
  }
}

Tests

uv sync --all-groups                                    # pytest, ruff, pyright, mcp
uv run pytest                                           # fast unit tests on frozen, scrubbed fixtures
CC_SESSION_CORPUS=~/.claude/projects uv run pytest -m corpus   # opt-in: asserts zero Unknown*/extra/parse-failures on real data

The corpus test is the lossless coverage gate: it fails if any real line lands in an Unknown* fallback, leaves a field in model_extra, or a modeled built-in tool result falls back to raw. Fixtures are regenerated with python tests/_extract_fixtures.py (CC_SESSION_CORPUS set); free-text, paths, and base64 are scrubbed.
