db

A set of tools for checking, repairing, backing up, rebuilding, and cleaning cctally’s local databases. A database is the local file that stores structured application data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect migrations, rebuild or rederive stored data, repair journals, recover databases, create backups, make checkpoints, prune old data, or reclaim unused space.
Why use it?
It helps recover from damaged data, migration problems, journal errors, or accumulated old records without treating all database problems as the same issue.

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

db 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 2d ago.

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.

cctally db

Migration / DB-management subcommand. Twelve actions: status, skip, unskip, rebuild, rederive, journal-repair, recover, repair, backup, checkpoint, prune, and vacuum.

Synopsis

cctally db status [--json]
cctally db skip <migration-name> [--reason "<text>"]
cctally db unskip <migration-name>
cctally db rebuild --db stats [--json]
cctally db rederive --family claude-usage [--yes] [--json]
cctally db journal-repair [--violation <fingerprint> ...] [--yes] [--json]
cctally db recover --db cache [--yes]   # --db stats is retired (see below)
cctally db repair --db stats --yes
cctally db backup --db {cache,stats} [--output <path>]
cctally db checkpoint [--db {cache,conversations,stats}] [--json]
cctally db prune [--yes] [--include-backups] [--json]
cctally db vacuum [--db {cache,conversations,stats,all}]

Description

cctally runs schema migrations on open_cache_db() (cache.db) and open_conversations_db() (conversations.db) via a small in-process framework. Migrations are numbered (001_…, 002_…), per-DB, registered via @cache_migration / @conversations_migration decorators in bin/cctally. The db subcommand surfaces this state and offers a manual poison-pill escape.

stats.db is different since the journal redesign (§7.1): it is a disposable index materialized from the append-only journal, stamped at a single STATS_INDEX_EPOCH (1004) rather than versioned by migrations. Its 13-migration legacy registry is frozen — no new stats migration is ever written; a schema change bumps the epoch, and any version mismatch self-heals by rebuild (db rebuild --db stats), never by trim-and-revert. db status still lists the frozen stats registry for provenance.

Spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-06-migration-framework-design.md, docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-22-db-journal-redesign-design.md.

cctally db status

Renders applied / pending / failed / skipped state for every migration in both DBs.

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.

db is a command published in the GitHub repository omrikais/cctally (5 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 9,884 tokens. 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.
