At a glance

Search across pi session JSONL logs (user prompts, tool calls, results).

  • Works in 2 steps: Generate digests for a time window → Search the digest markdown
  • SKILL.md covers Where sessions live, Method A (recommended):…, Method B: direct grep over raw… and Common queries, plus 1 more section
  • Calls rg

What it does

Session Search is an agent skill from mikeyobrien/rho. Search across pi session JSONL logs (user prompts, tool calls, results). Uses the session-digest tool and ripgrep for fast triage.

Its SKILL.md is about 560 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: An AI agent that stays running, remembers across sessions, and checks in on its own. macOS, Linux, Android. Built on Pi. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/session-search”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Generate digests for a time window
  2. Search the digest markdown

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 073a3ee. 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:

    • rg

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Session Search loads about 558 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 189 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~558

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.

kind
sop

Search historical pi sessions stored under ~/.pi/agent/sessions/.

This skill assumes the session-digest helper exists at ~/bin/session-digest.

Where sessions live

On this Termux setup, sessions are typically stored in:

  • ~/.pi/agent/sessions/--data-data-com.termux-files-home--/*.jsonl

If you are unsure which directory is active, list the session roots:

bash
ls -la ~/.pi/agent/sessions

session-digest parses session JSONL into readable markdown and writes files to:

  • ~/.rho/digests/YYYY-MM-DD.md
  1. Generate digests for a time window:
bash
# last 7 days
session-digest --week >/dev/null

# or a single date
session-digest 2026-02-04 >/dev/null

# or all history (can be slow)
session-digest --all >/dev/null
  1. Search the digest markdown:
bash
rg -n "<query>" ~/.rho/digests

Notes:

  • This is the safest way to skim history because session-digest also flags potential secrets.
  • If session-digest reports secrets, do NOT paste results into public logs.

Method B: direct grep over raw JSONL (fastest, messiest)

Search the raw session logs directly:

bash
SESSION_ROOT=~/.pi/agent/sessions/--data-data-com.termux-files-home--
rg -n --hidden "<query>" "$SESSION_ROOT"/*.jsonl

Useful variants:

bash
# show a little context around matches
rg -n -C 2 "<query>" "$SESSION_ROOT"/*.jsonl

# case-insensitive
rg -n -i "<query>" "$SESSION_ROOT"/*.jsonl

Common queries

  • Find when a specific tool was used:
    • rg -n '"type":"toolCall"' ... | rg '"name":"vault_search"'
  • Find a user prompt:
    • rg -n '"role":"user"' ... | rg "<phrase>"
  • Find a specific file path mentioned:
    • rg -n "projects/rho" ...

Guardrails

  • Session logs can contain credentials (tokens, API keys, private URLs).
  • Prefer Method A first: it surfaces warnings via secret scanning.
  • If you need to share excerpts, redact aggressively and re-run session-digest to confirm no secrets are present.
