I started building my own version of this in Superlogical Rex.

It's a bit hard to decide where to hook in.

Rex has events, harnesses have hooks, terminal output can set program status, git has hooks.

I'm not sure I actually want every session from every machine saved. That's a lot of noise especially when half of coding sessions are experimental / throwaway.

But at the same time its not that much data that's easy to ripgrep / LLM through.

Nice! Rex is super cool. We have an Atuin Threads integration for Herdr already, definitely exploring building one for Rex too

We actually don’t use hooks at all at the moment, and instead rely on parsing session files

Agents are definitely super good at searching and finding relevant data amongst noise!

Anything you can share yet? I was about to point Claude at the same thing in Rex and would rather not burn the tokens to come to the same result

"Half of coding sessions being throwaway" is exactly why I stopped keeping them per session. Mine hang off a work item, and each item has its own folder with its session logs. I basically throw them away and also record their summary in a vector DB to be able to find why I did something, if I'm ever curious about it! Otherwise I'm gonna need a tool to help me manage my sessions :D
