Transcript Replay

Transcript Replay

Replay a session transcript one turn at a time with a concise summary of each message.

Input

The user provides: $ARGUMENTS

• A session ID to replay, or
• "latest" / "last" for the most recent session.
• Optionally a turn range (e.g. 1-10) or errors to focus on tool failures.

Data Sources

| Endpoint | Returns |

|----------|---------|

| GET /api/sessions/:id/transcript | ordered transcript messages: role (user / assistant / tool), content, tool_name and tool result where applicable, timestamps |

| GET /api/sessions/:id | session header: status, model, cwd, started_at, ended_at, cost, metadata (thinking_blocks, turn_count, total_turn_duration_ms) |

Report Sections

1. Header

GET /api/sessions/:id. Print id, model, cwd basename, status, turn_count,

thinking_blocks, total_turn_duration_ms, and cost in one block.

2. Turn-by-turn walk

GET /api/sessions/:id/transcript. Iterate messages in order. For each turn emit

one compact entry:

• user — the request in one sentence (quote the literal ask only if short).
• assistant — the decision / action taken, plus which tools it invoked.
• tool — the tool name and a one-line result (success value or the error text);

do not paste large tool payloads.

Group an assistant message with the tool calls it triggered so each "turn" reads as

intent → action → result.

3. Thread highlights

After the walk, pull out: the original goal, the key turning points, any tool

failures or retries, and how the session ended (resolved / errored / abandoned).

Output

A numbered turn list (Turn N — <role>: <one-line summary>), grouped intent →

action → result, preceded by the header block and followed by the highlights.

Truncate any quoted content past ~200 chars with …. Currency as USD to 4 decimal

places. Summarize faithfully — never invent message content that is not in the

transcript. If the transcript endpoint returns empty, say the session has no stored

transcript (it may predate transcript capture or need a reimport) rather than

fabricating turns. If the dashboard is unreachable, tell the user to start it with

npm start from the repo root.
