Ingest Codex CLI conversation history into the Obsidian wiki. Use this skill when the user wants to mine
|
|
their past Codex sessions for knowledge, import their ~/.codex folder, extract insights from previous coding
|
|
sessions, or says things like "process my Codex history", "add my Codex conversations to the wiki", or
|
|
"what have I discussed in Codex before". Also triggers when the user mentions .codex sessions, rollout files,
|
|
session_index.jsonl, or Codex transcript logs.

# Codex History Ingest — Conversation Mining
|
|
|
|
You are extracting knowledge from the user's past Codex sessions and distilling it into the Obsidian wiki. Session logs are rich but noisy: focus on durable knowledge, not operational telemetry.
|
|
|
|
This skill can be invoked directly or via the `wiki-history-ingest` router (`/wiki-history-ingest codex`).
|
|
|
|
## Before You Start
|
|
|
|
1. **Resolve config** — follow the Config Resolution Protocol in `llm-wiki/SKILL.md` (walk up CWD for `.env` → `~/.obsidian-wiki/config` → prompt setup). This gives `OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH` and `CODEX_HISTORY_PATH` (defaults to `~/.codex`)
|
|
2. Read `.manifest.json` at the vault root to check what has already been ingested
|
|
3. Read `index.md` at the vault root to understand what the wiki already contains
|
|
|
|
## Ingest Modes
|
|
|
|
### Append Mode (default)
|
|
|
|
Check `.manifest.json` for each source file. Only process:
|
|
|
|
- Files not in the manifest (new session rollouts, new index files)
|
|
- Files whose modification time is newer than `ingested_at` in the manifest
|
|
|
|
Use this mode for regular syncs.
|
|
|
|
### Full Mode
|
|
|
|
Process everything regardless of manifest. Use after `wiki-rebuild` or if the user explicitly asks for a full re-ingest.
|
|
|
|
## Codex Data Layout
|
|
|
|
Codex stores local artifacts under `~/.codex/`.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
~/.codex/
|
|
├── sessions/ # Session rollout logs by date
|
|
│ └── YYYY/MM/DD/
|
|
│ └── rollout-<timestamp>-<id>.jsonl
|
|
├── archived_sessions/ # Archived rollout logs
|
|
├── session_index.jsonl # Lightweight index of thread id/name/updated_at
|
|
├── history.jsonl # Local transcript history (if persistence enabled)
|
|
├── config.toml # User config (contains history settings)
|
|
└── state_*.sqlite / logs_*.sqlite # Runtime DBs (usually skip)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Key data sources ranked by value
|
|
|
|
1. `session_index.jsonl` — best inventory source for IDs, titles, and freshness
|
|
2. `sessions/**/rollout-*.jsonl` — rich structured transcript events
|
|
3. `history.jsonl` — useful fallback/timeline aid if enabled
|
|
|
|
Avoid ingesting SQLite internals unless the user explicitly asks.
|
|
|
|
## Step 1: Survey and Compute Delta
|
|
|
|
Scan `CODEX_HISTORY_PATH` and compare against `.manifest.json`:
|
|
|
|
- `~/.codex/session_index.jsonl`
|
|
- `~/.codex/sessions/**/rollout-*.jsonl`
|
|
- `~/.codex/archived_sessions/**` (optional; only if user asks for archived history)
|
|
- `~/.codex/history.jsonl` (optional fallback)
|
|
|
|
Classify each file:
|
|
|
|
- **New** — not in manifest
|
|
- **Modified** — in manifest but file is newer than `ingested_at`
|
|
- **Unchanged** — already ingested and unchanged
|
|
|
|
Report a concise delta summary before deep parsing.
|
|
|
|
## Step 2: Parse Session Index First
|
|
|
|
`session_index.jsonl` typically has entries like:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{"id":"...","thread_name":"...","updated_at":"..."}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use it to:
|
|
|
|
- Build a canonical session inventory
|
|
- Prioritize recent/high-signal sessions
|
|
- Map rollout IDs to human-readable thread names
|
|
|
|
## Step 3: Parse Rollout JSONL Safely
|
|
|
|
Each `rollout-*.jsonl` line is an event envelope with:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"timestamp": "...",
|
|
"type": "session_meta|turn_context|event_msg|response_item",
|
|
"payload": { ... }
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Extraction rules
|
|
|
|
- Prioritize user intent and assistant-visible outputs
|
|
- Favor `response_item` records with user/assistant message content
|
|
- Use `event_msg` selectively for meaningful milestones; ignore pure telemetry
|
|
- Treat `session_meta` as metadata (cwd, model, ids), not user knowledge
|
|
|
|
### Skip/noise filters
|
|
|
|
- Token accounting events
|
|
- Tool plumbing with no semantic content
|
|
- Raw command output unless it contains reusable decisions/patterns
|
|
- Repeated plan snapshots unless they add novel decisions
|
|
|
|
### Critical privacy filter
|
|
|
|
Rollout logs can include injected instructions, tool payloads, and sensitive text. Do not ingest verbatim system/developer prompts or secrets.
|
|
|
|
- Remove API keys, tokens, passwords, credentials
|
|
- Redact private identifiers unless relevant and approved
|
|
- Summarize instead of quoting raw transcripts
|
|
|
|
## Step 4: Cluster by Topic
|
|
|
|
Do not create one wiki page per session.
|
|
|
|
- Group by stable topics across many sessions
|
|
- Split mixed sessions into separate themes
|
|
- Merge recurring concepts across dates/projects
|
|
- Use `cwd` from metadata to infer project scope
|
|
|
|
## Step 5: Distill into Wiki Pages
|
|
|
|
Route extracted knowledge using existing wiki conventions:
|
|
|
|
- Project-specific architecture/process -> `projects/<name>/...`
|
|
- General concepts -> `concepts/`
|
|
- Recurring techniques/debug playbooks -> `skills/`
|
|
- Tools/services -> `entities/`
|
|
- Cross-session patterns -> `synthesis/`
|
|
|
|
For each impacted project, create/update `projects/<name>/<name>.md` (project name as filename, never `_project.md`).
|
|
|
|
### Writing rules
|
|
|
|
- Distill knowledge, not chronology
|
|
- Avoid "on date X we discussed..." unless date context is essential
|
|
- Add `summary:` frontmatter on each new/updated page (1-2 sentences, <= 200 chars)
|
|
- Add confidence and lifecycle fields to every new page:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
base_confidence: 0.42
|
|
lifecycle: draft
|
|
lifecycle_changed: <ISO date today>
|
|
```
|
|
Leave `lifecycle` unchanged on update.
|
|
- Add provenance markers:
|
|
- `^[extracted]` when directly grounded in explicit session content
|
|
- `^[inferred]` when synthesizing patterns across events/sessions
|
|
- `^[ambiguous]` when sessions conflict
|
|
- Add/update `provenance:` frontmatter mix for each changed page
|
|
|
|
## Step 6: Update Manifest, Log, and Index
|
|
|
|
### Update `.manifest.json`
|
|
|
|
For each processed source file:
|
|
|
|
- `ingested_at`, `size_bytes`, `modified_at`
|
|
- `source_type`: `codex_rollout` | `codex_index` | `codex_history`
|
|
- `project`: inferred project name (when applicable)
|
|
- `pages_created`, `pages_updated`
|
|
|
|
Add/update a top-level project/session summary block:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"project-name": {
|
|
"source_path": "~/.codex/sessions/...",
|
|
"last_ingested": "TIMESTAMP",
|
|
"sessions_ingested": 12,
|
|
"sessions_total": 40,
|
|
"index_updated_at": "TIMESTAMP"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Update special files
|
|
|
|
Update `index.md` and `log.md`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
- [TIMESTAMP] CODEX_HISTORY_INGEST sessions=N pages_updated=X pages_created=Y mode=append|full
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**`hot.md`** — Read `$OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH/hot.md` (create from the template in `wiki-ingest` if missing). Update **Recent Activity** with a one-line summary — e.g. "Ingested 12 Codex sessions; surfaced recurring patterns in CLI tooling and shell scripting." Keep the last 3 operations. Update `updated` timestamp.
|
|
|
|
## Privacy and Compliance
|
|
|
|
- Distill and synthesize; avoid raw transcript dumps
|
|
- Default to redaction for anything that looks sensitive
|
|
- Ask the user before storing personal/sensitive details
|
|
- Keep references to other people minimal and purpose-bound
|
|
|
|
## Reference
|
|
|
|
See `references/codex-data-format.md` for field-level parsing notes and extraction guidance.
|
|
|
|
## QMD Refresh After Vault Writes
|
|
|
|
QMD is a search index, not the source of truth. If `$QMD_WIKI_COLLECTION` is empty or unset, skip this step. Run it only after this skill has written or rewritten vault markdown. If QMD refresh fails, do not roll back the vault changes; report the QMD status separately.
|
|
|
|
Use `$QMD_CLI` if set; otherwise use `qmd`.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
${QMD_CLI:-qmd} update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If the output says vectors are needed or embeddings may be stale, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
${QMD_CLI:-qmd} embed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Verify the collection with either:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
${QMD_CLI:-qmd} ls "$QMD_WIKI_COLLECTION"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or, when a specific page path is known:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
${QMD_CLI:-qmd} get "qmd://$QMD_WIKI_COLLECTION/<page>.md" -l 5
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Record one of:
|
|
- `QMD refreshed: update + embed + verified`
|
|
- `QMD refreshed: update only + verified`
|
|
- `QMD skipped: QMD_WIKI_COLLECTION unset`
|
|
- `QMD skipped: qmd CLI unavailable`
|
|
- `QMD failed: <short error summary>` |
