What it does

Transcript Grep is an agent skill from hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor. Search a Claude Code session transcript for a string or regex pattern and show every matching message with surrounding context. Reads /api/sessions/:id/transcript and resolves sessions via /api/sessions?limit= from the Agent Monitor dashboard. Use when hunting for a specific message, prompt, tool call, or error inside a session's conversation.

Its SKILL.md is about 710 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

The repository describes itself as: 🚀 A real-time monitoring dashboard for Claude Code & Codex, built with SQLite3, Node.js, Express, React, Vite, TailwindCSS, & WebSockets. It tracks sessions, agent activity… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Hunting for a specific message
  • Error inside a sessions conversation

Example prompts

  • “/transcript-grep”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Resolve the session
  2. Fetch and search
  3. Matches with context
  4. Summary

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e0f4a1a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Transcript Grep loads about 706 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 321 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~90
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~706

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Search a Claude Code session transcript for a string or regex pattern and show every matching message with surrounding context. Reads /api/sessions/:id/transcript and resolves sessions via /api/sessions?limit= from the Agent Monitor dashboard. Use when hunting for a specific message, prompt, tool call, or error inside a session's conversation.

Transcript Grep

Find where a pattern appears in a session transcript and show the matches in context.

Input

The user provides: $ARGUMENTS

Interpreted as a session reference plus a search pattern, e.g. <session-id> "rate limit" or latest TypeError. Parsing rules:

  • The session reference is the first token if it looks like an id, or the words latest/last (most recently updated session).
  • The remainder is the search pattern (string or regex, quoted if it contains spaces).
  • If no session is given, default to the most recent session.

Data Sources

EndpointReturns
GET /api/sessions?limit=Nsession list to resolve latest/last and to confirm the id exists
GET /api/sessions/:id/transcriptthe ordered transcript messages (role, content, tool calls/results, timestamps) for the session

Report Sections

1. Resolve the session

If latest/last (or no id), call GET /api/sessions?limit=1. Otherwise verify the id with GET /api/sessions?limit=1000 (or GET /api/sessions/:id). Report the resolved id, status, and model before searching.

Call GET /api/sessions/:id/transcript. Walk the messages in order and match the pattern against message text, tool_name, and tool input/output content. Case-insensitive by default; treat the pattern as a regex if it contains regex metacharacters, otherwise as a literal substring.

3. Matches with context

For each match show:

[#N  HH:MM:SS  role(:tool_name)]
  … preceding line of context …
> matching line with the **pattern** emphasized
  … following line of context …

Number matches sequentially. Include ±1–2 messages (or lines) of context so the match is interpretable. If a tool call matches, show the tool_name and a trimmed view of its arguments/result.

4. Summary

Report: total matches, how many distinct messages matched, the roles involved (user / assistant / tool), and the timestamp span of the matches. If there are zero matches, say so plainly and suggest a looser pattern.

Output

  • Lead with the match count and session header, then the contextual snippets.
  • Keep snippets trimmed — truncate long tool payloads with … rather than dumping them.
  • Cite only transcript content returned by the API — never fabricate messages.
  • If the dashboard is unreachable, tell the user to start it with npm start from the repo root.
