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-logs 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 1mo 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.

Origin

This is a copy

95% identical to session-logs — 14 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 152 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

session-logs

Search your complete conversation history stored in session JSONL files. Use this when a user references older/parent conversations or asks what was said before.

Trigger

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

Location

Session logs live under the active state directory: $OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR/agents/<agentId>/sessions/ (default: ~/.openclaw/agents/<agentId>/sessions/). Use the agent=<id> value from the system prompt Runtime line.

  • sessions.json - Index mapping session keys to session IDs
  • <session-id>.jsonl - Full conversation transcript per session

Structure

Each .jsonl file contains messages with:

  • type: "session" (metadata) or "message"
  • timestamp: ISO timestamp
  • message.role: "user", "assistant", or "toolResult"
  • message.content[]: Text, thinking, or tool calls (filter type=="text" for human-readable content)
  • message.usage.cost.total: Cost per response

Common Queries

List all sessions by date and size

AGENT_ID="<agentId>"
SESSION_DIR="${OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR:-$HOME/.openclaw}/agents/$AGENT_ID/sessions"
for f in "$SESSION_DIR"/*.jsonl; do
  date=$(head -1 "$f" | jq -r '.timestamp' | cut -dT -f1)
  size=$(ls -lh "$f" | awk '{print $5}')
  echo "$date $size $(basename $f)"
done | sort -r

Find sessions from a specific day

AGENT_ID="<agentId>"
SESSION_DIR="${OPENCLAW_STATE_DIR:-$HOME/.openclaw}/agents/$AGENT_ID/sessions"
for f in "$SESSION_DIR"/*.jsonl; do
  head -1 "$f" | jq -r '.timestamp' | grep -q "2026-01-06" && echo "$f"
done

Extract user messages from a session

jq -r 'select(.message.role == "user") | .message.content[]? | select(.type == "text") | .text' <session>.jsonl

Search for keyword in assistant responses

jq -r 'select(.message.role == "assistant") | .message.content[]? | select(.type == "text") | .text' <session>.jsonl | rg -i "keyword"

Changes

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.
