# session-logs
Search your complete conversation history stored in session JSONL files. Use this when you need to recall something not in your memory files.
## Location
Session logs live at: `~/.clawdbot/agents/main/sessions/`
- **`sessions.json`** - Index mapping session keys to session IDs
- **`<session-id>.jsonl`** - Full conversation transcript per session
## Structure
Each `.jsonl` file contains messages with:
- `type`: "session" (metadata) or "message"
- `timestamp`: ISO timestamp
- `message.role`: "user", "assistant", or "toolResult"
- `message.content[]`: Text, thinking, or tool calls
- `message.usage.cost.total`: Cost per response
## Common Queries
### List all sessions by date and size
```bash
for f in ~/.clawdbot/agents/main/sessions/*.jsonl; do
date=$(head -1 "$f" | jq -r '.timestamp' | cut -dT -f1)
size=$(ls -lh "$f" | awk '{print $5}')
echo "$date $size $(basename $f)"
done | sort -r
```
### Find sessions from a specific day
```bash
for f in ~/.clawdbot/agents/main/sessions/*.jsonl; do
head -1 "$f" | jq -r '.timestamp' | grep -q "2026-01-06" && echo "$f"
done
```
### Extract user messages from a session
```bash
jq -r 'select(.message.role == "user") | .message.content[0].text' <session>.jsonl
```
### Search for keyword in assistant responses
```bash
jq -r 'select(.message.role == "assistant") | .message.content[]? | select(.type == "text") | .text' <session>.jsonl | grep -i "keyword"
```
### Get total cost for a session
```bash
jq -s '[.[] | .message.usage.cost.total // 0] | add' <session>.jsonl
```
### Daily cost summary
```bash
for f in ~/.clawdbot/agents/main/sessions/*.jsonl; do
date=$(head -1 "$f" | jq -r '.timestamp' | cut -dT -f1)
cost=$(jq -s '[.[] | .message.usage.cost.total // 0] | add' "$f")
echo "$date $cost"
done | awk '{a[$1]+=$2} END {for(d in a) print d, "$"a[d]}' | sort -r
```
### Count messages and tokens in a session
```bash
jq -s '{
messages: length,
user: [.[] | select(.message.role == "user")] | length,
assistant: [.[] | select(.message.role == "assistant")] | length,
first: .[0].timestamp,
last: .[-1].timestamp
}' <session>.jsonl
```
### Tool usage breakdown
```bash
jq -r '.message.content[]? | select(.type == "toolCall") | .name' <session>.jsonl | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn
```
### Search across ALL sessions for a phrase
```bash
grep -l "phrase" ~/.clawdbot/agents/main/sessions/*.jsonl
```
## Tips
- Sessions are append-only JSONL (one JSON object per line)
- Large sessions can be several MB - use `head`/`tail` for sampling
- The `sessions.json` index maps chat providers (discord, whatsapp, etc.) to session IDs
- Deleted sessions have `.deleted.<timestamp>` suffix
