session-transcript

A command that records the current coding session as a transcript for a named project. It can identify the project from the workflow folders when no project name is supplied.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to save a session transcript for a project, with a prompt when the project cannot be determined automatically.
Why use it?
It preserves what happened during a session without silently choosing the wrong project or inventing missing information.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

session-transcript scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Arguments

Kilo Code does not substitute $ARGUMENTS. Wherever this command refers to $ARGUMENTS, read it as the text I typed after the slash command in this message.

Expected: optional: project name

If I typed nothing after the command, do not guess and do not invent a value: ask me for it with the question tool, then continue from there.


Step 0 — find which project this is for

Before anything else, figure out which project this command applies to:

  1. If you were given a project name after the slash (e.g. /session-transcript my-project), use it.
  2. Otherwise, look at the subfolders under .workflow/:
    • Exactly one folder → use it. Tell the user which project you picked (e.g. "Working on my-project"), so it's never a silent guess.
    • Two or more folders → ask the user once which project this is for. To make the question useful, show the first line of each project's 00-context.md, not just the folder name.
    • No folders → fall back to the project root directory name as the project name (this is the one case where no project is in progress yet — a transcript may legitimately exist outside of .workflow/).

Session Transcript

Purpose

Record this session's conversation as-is, in chronological order (who said what), as a standalone factual record — separate from the workflow's phase deliverables (which only contain final results, not the discussion that led to them).

Steps

  1. Scan the project root. Do NOT create any new folders. Determine the project root directory (where .git/ or package.json or similar marker exists). Save the transcript directly in the project root.

  2. Reconstruct this session's conversation in chronological order, turn by turn, labeled by who said it (User / Agent). Use the actual wording from the conversation - do not summarize, paraphrase, condense, or skip turns.

  3. Be honest about context limits. You can only transcribe what's actually present in your current context window for this session. If earlier turns were compacted, truncated, or are otherwise not available to you, say so explicitly at the top of the file (e.g. "Transcript starts partway through the session - earlier turns were not available in context") instead of inventing or guessing what was said.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

session-transcript is a command published in the GitHub repository Arsxxi/iterative-dev-workflow (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2 tokens to every session and 715 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
