skill-codex-list-sessions

Codex skill for listing recent local Codex sessions with full session_id values, compact per-session summaries, and optional exact lookup of trailing user messages.

What It Does

  • reads local Codex thread metadata from ~/.codex/state_5.sqlite
  • reads full user prompt history from ~/.codex/history.jsonl
  • returns recent top-level cli sessions by default
  • supports exact session_id lookup
  • supports keyword search such as glab, youtrack, or worktree
  • can include internal exec and subagent sessions when explicitly requested
  • defaults to a compact recent window of the latest 2 user messages per session
  • instructs the agent to format list results as 3-line session blocks instead of wide tables

Main Files

  • SKILL.md: runtime instructions for Codex
  • agents/openai.yaml: UI-facing metadata
  • locales/metadata.json: localized user-facing metadata
  • .skill_triggers/<locale>.md: localized trigger catalogs used to render SKILL.md
  • scripts/setup_main.py, scripts/setup_support.py: managed global install flow
  • scripts/codex_sessions.py: deterministic JSON-producing helper
  • scripts/codex-sessions: thin shell wrapper

Install

Install or update the managed copy with:

make install LOCALE=ru-en

This creates a managed runtime copy under ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-~/.local/share}/agents/skills/skill-codex-list-sessions, renders localized metadata plus trigger previews from .skill_triggers, and refreshes the symlinks in ~/.claude/skills/skill-codex-list-sessions and ~/.codex/skills/skill-codex-list-sessions.
