session-logs

Browse your session history stored in the metiq sessions index. Use this when a user references older conversations or asks what was discussed before.

Trigger

Use this skill when the user asks about prior sessions, parent conversations, or historical context that isn't in memory files.

Location

Session data lives at: ~/.metiq/sessions.json — a JSON index of all sessions.

• sessions.json - Index of sessions with metadata (session key, start time, channel, user, topic)

Note: metiq stores session metadata in the index but does not persist full conversation transcripts to disk. Use memory files (~/.metiq/memory/) for information you want to recall across sessions.

Structure

sessions.json is a JSON object mapping session keys to session metadata:

{
  "discord:12345:67890": {
    "sessionKey": "discord:12345:67890",
    "startedAt": "2026-03-01T10:00:00Z",
    "lastActiveAt": "2026-03-01T10:45:00Z",
    "channel": "discord",
    "userID": "12345",
    "topic": "Discussing Nostr relays"
  }
}

Common Queries

List all sessions sorted by date

jq -r 'to_entries | sort_by(.value.startedAt) | reverse | .[] | "\(.value.startedAt[:10]) \(.value.channel) \(.key)"' ~/.metiq/sessions.json

Find sessions from a specific day

jq -r 'to_entries | .[] | select(.value.startedAt | startswith("2026-03-01")) | .key' ~/.metiq/sessions.json

Find sessions by channel

jq -r 'to_entries | .[] | select(.value.channel == "discord") | "\(.value.startedAt[:10]) \(.key)"' ~/.metiq/sessions.json

Find sessions by user

jq -r 'to_entries | .[] | select(.value.userID == "12345") | "\(.value.startedAt[:10]) \(.key)"' ~/.metiq/sessions.json

Count sessions per channel

jq -r '[to_entries[] | .value.channel] | group_by(.) | map({channel: .[0], count: length}) | sort_by(.count) | reverse[]' ~/.metiq/sessions.json

Show sessions active today

TODAY=$(date -u +%Y-%m-%d)
jq -r --arg today "$TODAY" 'to_entries | .[] | select(.value.lastActiveAt | startswith($today)) | "\(.value.channel) \(.key)"' ~/.metiq/sessions.json

Tips

• Sessions are indexed by their session key (format: channel:userID:threadID)
• For persistent memory across sessions, write to memory files: ~/.metiq/memory/
• The sessions index is updated by metiqd as sessions are created and used
• For conversation context that must survive across sessions, ask the user to use /compact or /export before ending a session
