## What it does

The skill tracks down local AI coding transcripts and audits context usage. For parsing sessions and masking secrets, it calls `vibe-replay` through `npx`. The agent ranks search matches, adjusts prompt tone, and appends context to pull requests with `gh`. Every cleanup step requires user confirmation.

Transcript discovery targets Claude Code and Cursor storage folders. Codex sessions are indexed via `vibe-replay sessions`. Full scans with `--scan` take considerably more compute than metadata searches. Save them for narrow diagnostic tasks.

Running this requires Node.js and the `gh` CLI. A damaged sidecar file halts export operations.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tuo-lei/vibe-replay --skill replay -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/replay/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/replay/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tuo-lei/vibe-replay --skill replay -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/replay/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tuo-lei/vibe-replay --skill replay -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/replay/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install tuo-lei/vibe-replay replay
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/replay/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tuo-lei/vibe-replay --skill replay -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/tuo-lei/vibe-replay --path skills/replay
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/replay/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add tuo-lei/vibe-replay --skill replay -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/tuo-lei/vibe-replay/tree/HEAD/skills/replay/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- Attach AI debugging context to a GitHub pull request
- Search past coding transcripts by project name or bug description
- Audit tool failures and token compactions from an agent session
- Review flagged credentials and regex matches before sharing logs

## Example prompts
- Find my past Claude Code session about the auth bug and attach its summary to the PR
- Run a retro on the latest session to inspect token compactions and tool errors
- Search Codex transcripts for the CI review thread and summarize the findings

# Session Replay and Search

This skill helps agents find local AI coding sessions, generate shareable replay artifacts, and paste polished session context into PRs. It uses [vibe-replay](https://github.com/tuo-lei/vibe-replay) for the raw session discovery, parsing, redaction, analytics, and export work, then uses agent judgment for review, cleanup, and sharing decisions.

## What this skill is for

Use this skill when the user asks to:

- Generate a replay or GitHub-ready summary of an AI coding session.
- Attach Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex session context to a PR.
- Find a previous session, transcript, replay, branch discussion, bug investigation, PR, or design thread.
- Remember what happened in a past agent conversation.
- Run a retro on prompt quality, tool usage, errors, compactions, cost, or agent efficiency.
- Compare sessions or choose which session should be replayed/shared.

Plain text summaries of an AI session - stats, tool breakdown, per-prompt details - are hard for an agent to write from scratch. Delegate that to `vibe-replay`, then use agent reasoning to handle the things a CLI cannot decide well:

- **Ranking session search results** - choosing the likely match from metadata and brief scan signals.
- **Reviewing flagged credentials** - deciding whether a regex hit is a real secret or a false positive.
- **Translating** session prompts that are not in the audience's language.
- **Softening tone** in prompts written when the user was frustrated.
- **Appending to PRs safely** - preserving existing PR descriptions instead of overwriting them.

Each cleanup step is opt-in. Ask the user before rewriting their content.

## Step 1 - Choose the session

Prefer structured discovery over manually browsing local history.

### If the user provides a session path

Use the provided path. Infer the provider when possible:

- Cursor transcripts usually live under `~/.cursor/projects/.../agent-transcripts/...`.
- Claude Code transcripts usually live under `~/.claude/projects/.../*.jsonl`.
- Codex sessions are discoverable through `vibe-replay sessions`; if the path is not obviously Claude or Cursor, pass the provider returned by search or ask the user.

### If this is the current Claude Code session

Find the current session file with `${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID}`:

```bash
grep -l '"sessionId":"${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID}"' ~/.claude/projects/*/*.jsonl 2>/dev/null
```

If multiple files match (normal after `/resume`), pick the oldest. `vibe-replay` auto-discovers related files by slug/project.

### If the user describes a past or fuzzy session

Use `vibe-replay sessions` first. Prefer `--json` so results can be ranked without scraping terminal text:

```bash
npx vibe-replay sessions --query "<terms>" --limit 10 --json
```

Useful filters:

```bash
npx vibe-replay sessions --project "vibe-replay" --json
