Agent Sessions

sivtr treats agent transcripts as local workspace memory sources. You can copy the latest useful turn, browse older sessions in a picker, search across providers, and show exact refs without opening raw transcript files. Prior agent work becomes memory for both humans and later agents.

Skills are how later agents learn to use this memory. A sivtr memory skill can instruct an agent to search local terminal and agent history, expand only the smallest relevant result, and verify current code before trusting prior discussion. See Skills and Reusable Procedures.

Supported providers

Providers come from the AgentProvider registry. Copy uses the same names:

Provider	Copy command	Default discovery
Codex	sivtr copy codex ...	Codex rollout JSONL under ~/.codex/sessions
Claude Code	sivtr copy claude ...	Claude transcript/session env and local transcripts
Cursor	sivtr copy cursor ...	Cursor agent transcript JSONL under ~/.cursor/projects
OpenCode	sivtr copy opencode ...	OpenCode local database
OpenClaw	sivtr copy openclaw ...	OpenClaw agent SQLite (+ legacy JSONL)
Hermes	sivtr copy hermes ...	Hermes state.db (JSONL under sessions/ residual)
Grok	sivtr copy grok ...	Grok sessions under ~/.grok (GROK_HOME)
Pi	sivtr copy pi ...	Pi session JSONL under the Pi agent directory

Use agent in search commands when you want all registered providers:

sivtr search agent --match "panic" --format timeline

Copy the latest useful text

sivtr copy codex out
sivtr copy claude out
sivtr copy cursor out
sivtr copy hermes out
sivtr copy openclaw out
sivtr copy opencode out
sivtr copy grok out
sivtr copy pi out

out copies the latest assistant reply for the selected provider.

Copy input, output, tool output, or whole session

Each provider supports the same mode shape:

sivtr copy claude
sivtr copy claude in
sivtr copy claude out
sivtr copy claude tool
sivtr copy claude all

Mode	Copies
omitted	Last completed user plus assistant turn
in	Last user message
out	Last assistant reply
tool	Last tool output
all	Whole parsed session

Replace claude with any registered provider name (codex, cursor, hermes, opencode, openclaw, grok, pi, …).

Select older items

Selectors are newest-first and work like command-block selectors:

sivtr copy claude 2
sivtr copy claude 2..4
sivtr copy codex out 3

Use --session to choose a session by picker index, session id, or id prefix:

sivtr copy codex --session 2
sivtr copy codex --session 019df7fb
sivtr copy claude out --session 3 --print

Filter copied text

sivtr copy claude tool --regex error
sivtr copy codex all --lines 1:40
sivtr copy hermes out --print
sivtr copy pi out --print

Filters run after selected text is assembled. See Selectors and Filters.

Pick interactively

Open a provider-specific picker:

sivtr copy codex --pick
sivtr copy claude --pick
sivtr copy hermes --pick
sivtr copy opencode --pick
sivtr copy pi --pick

Inside the workspace picker:

Key	Action
0 / 1 / 2 / 3	Focus source, sessions, dialogues, or content
h / l	Move between panes
j / k	Move within the current pane
Space	Toggle the current source, session, or dialogue
/	Search all loaded sessions
n / N	Next or previous search match
i	Copy current input/question
o	Copy current output/answer
y	Copy current input plus output
c	Copy bare command when available
:	Start a temporary line filter for the next copy
v in Content	Start visual text selection
t	Open current content in Vim-style full view
?	Open help

Context-aware launchers such as the Windows hotkey and VS Code extension can open a current-workspace picker directly.

Search agent memory and terminal context

Search current-workspace agent sessions and terminal context with target-first search:

sivtr search agent --match "panic" --format timeline
sivtr search agent --match "workspace picker" --in title --format compact
sivtr search codex --match "sivtr" --in session --format md
sivtr search terminal --match "build error" --format json --limit 20

Use JSON refs with sivtr show. These exact refs are the unit you can hand back to yourself, another terminal workflow, or an agent prompt:

sivtr show claude/<session>/<dialogue>
sivtr show pi/<session>/<dialogue>/<line>

Codex session mirrors

Codex supports exporting local rollout JSONL files into a shared read-only tree:

sivtr codex export --dest /srv/sivtr/root-codex --watch

Then add the exported sessions directory to another account’s config:

[codex]
session_dirs = ["/srv/sivtr/root-codex/sessions"]

Shared/mirrored session trees only participate in explicit picker browsing. Implicit current-session lookup stays local so another account’s exported history does not override your active workflow.

On macOS, /Users/Shared/sivtr/root-codex is a good shared location between local accounts:

sivtr codex export --dest /Users/Shared/sivtr/root-codex --watch

[codex]
session_dirs = ["/Users/Shared/sivtr/root-codex/sessions"]
