.claude/commands/ox-session-recover.md

ox-session-recover is a command for Claude Code from sageox/ox. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,160 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A recovery procedure for rebuilding an Ox session from a Claude Code transcript, which is a saved record of an agent conversation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to locate the relevant transcript, try Ox's recovery command, convert transcript entries into viewer-compatible types, and check the resulting JSONL file.
Why use it?
It helps restore session data when recording failed, produced no entries, or the session viewer cannot find the session.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

This is sageox/ox's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on ox itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything ox configures →

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 C, and why

ox-session-recover scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

<!-- Keep this file thin. Behavioral guidance (use-when, common-issues, errors) belongs in the ox CLI JSON output (guidance field), not here. Skills are agent-specific wrappers; ox serves all agents (Codex, etc.). Except

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 110 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Recover an ox session from a Claude Code transcript when session recording failed or captured no data.

Use when:

  • ox session stop shows entry_count: 0
  • Session viewer shows empty or "Session not found"
  • You need to rebuild a session from a Claude Code transcript file

Recovery Flow

Step 1: Find the Claude Code transcript

Claude Code stores transcripts at:

~/.claude/projects/<PROJECT_HASH>/*.jsonl

Where PROJECT_HASH is the CWD with / replaced by - (e.g., -Users-ryan-Code-my-project).

Find the right transcript by checking modification times against the session's time window:

ls -lt ~/.claude/projects/<PROJECT_HASH>/*.jsonl | head -5

Step 2: Try the built-in recover command first

ox agent <agent_id> session recover

If the adapter file still exists, this handles everything automatically. If it fails, continue to Step 3.

Step 3: Convert transcript to web viewer format

The Claude Code transcript uses internal types (queue-operation, progress) that the web viewer cannot display. Convert to the expected format (user, assistant, tool, system).

Claude Code transcript entry types and their mapping:

Transcript type message.role Web viewer type Content location
user user user message.content (string or content blocks)
assistant assistant assistant message.content text blocks
assistant (tool_use blocks) tool message.content tool_use blocks
progress (tool_result) tool data.content tool_result blocks
system system message.content
queue-operation skip internal queue ops

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.
