What it does

Session Log is an agent skill from searlsco/prove_it. Inspect proveit session logs—review history, reviewer verdicts, and session state. Use when asked about session logs, reviewer results, or "what did the last hook say".

Its SKILL.md is about 490 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Session handoff. The repository describes itself as: The verification harness that Claude Code should have shipped with. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked about session logs
  • Reviewer results
  • What did the last hook say

Example prompts

  • “what did the last hook say”
  • “/session-log”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Find the most recently modified .jsonl file (excluding _project_* and test-session* files).
  2. Read it and display each entry as a table or formatted list showing

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit eedd8da. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    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 Log loads about 486 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 220 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~486

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
Inspect prove_it session logs—review history, reviewer verdicts, and session state. Use when asked about session logs, reviewer results, or "what did the last hook say".

Inspect prove_it session logs

Session data lives in ~/.claude/prove_it/sessions/. Two file types per session:

  • <session_id>.json—session state (project dir, git HEAD, started_at)
  • <session_id>.jsonl—reviewer log (one JSON object per line: at, reviewer, status, reason, projectDir, sessionId)
  • _project_<hash>.jsonl—project-level reviewer log (when session_id was null)

Determine the current session ID

The current Claude Code session ID is passed in hook input. To find it for the active conversation, check the most recently modified .jsonl file:

bash
ls -t ~/.claude/prove_it/sessions/*.jsonl | head -5

What to show

Default (no args): show the current session's reviewer log
  1. Find the most recently modified .jsonl file (excluding _project_* and test-session* files).
  2. Read it and display each entry as a table or formatted list showing:
    • Time (human-readable from the at timestamp)
    • Reviewer name
    • Status (PASS/FAIL/SKIP/BOOM)
    • Reason (the reviewer's rationale)
With a session ID arg: show that specific session

Read <session_id>.jsonl and <session_id>.json and display both the session state and reviewer entries.

With --all or all: list all sessions

List all session .json files sorted by modification time, showing session ID, project, and started_at.

With --stats or stats: aggregate reviewer stats

Count PASS/FAIL/SKIP/BOOM across all .jsonl files and show totals.

Formatting

  • Show timestamps as relative times (e.g., "2 min ago") or HH:MM:SS
  • Truncate long reasons to ~120 chars in table view, show full text if only one session
  • Use the reviewer name as-is (e.g., "coverage-review", "fast-tests")
