[English](README.md) | [中文](README.zh-CN.md)

> Export your [opencode](https://opencode.ai) AI coding sessions to beautiful, self-contained HTML + JSON archives — with secret redaction, subagent inlining, token backfill, and an MCP server for agents.

![Demo](screenshots/index.png)

## Features

- **Beautiful HTML output** — Sticky headers with session metadata, collapsible tool-call and reasoning blocks, a slide-in TOC of user prompts, lazy syntax highlighting, KaTeX math rendering, and Mermaid diagram support.
- **Secret redaction built-in** — 18 patterns (OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, GitHub, AWS, Slack, GitLab, Google, Stripe, SendGrid, and more) are auto-masked. Add your own exact strings or regex patterns via config.
- **Subagent inlining** — When your session dispatched sub-agents (explore, general, code-reviewer), their full conversation is rendered inline at the dispatch point inside the parent session.
- **5-field token statistics** — Input, output, reasoning, cache-read, and cache-write tokens are tracked per session. Older sessions with zero token data are backfilled by summing per-step usage from `step-finish` parts.
- **Fully offline** — Vendor assets (highlight.js, Mermaid, KaTeX, Marked) are downloaded once and bundled into the export. No CDN, no internet required to view.
- **MCP server included** — AI agents can call `list_sessions`, `show_session`, and `export_sessions` as native tools via the Model Context Protocol.
- **Structured JSON archive** — Alongside HTML, a `data/sessions.json` file preserves full, untruncated content (tool inputs/outputs, reasoning text) for programmatic analysis.

## Quick Start

> **Prerequisites:** Python 3.11+ and an existing [opencode](https://opencode.ai) installation (the session database is auto-detected at `%LOCALAPPDATA%\opencode\opencode.db` on Windows, `~/Library/Application Support/opencode/opencode.db` on macOS, or `$XDG_DATA_HOME/opencode/opencode.db` on Linux).

```bash
# Install
pip install git+https://github.com/ZelinZhou-THU/opencode-export.git

# See what projects and sessions exist in your opencode database
opencode-export list

# Export a project's sessions to a browsable HTML + JSON archive
opencode-export export --project my-project --out ./export

# Preview a single session's metadata
opencode-export show ses_xxxx
```

Open `./export/index.html` in your browser. That's it — no server, no internet needed.

## How it differs

Several tools exist for exporting opencode or Claude Code sessions, typically producing Markdown transcripts or basic HTML pages. `opencode-export` was built to address a few gaps encountered when archiving a full semester of AI-assisted development:

- **Visual fidelity** — Tool calls, reasoning blocks, code patches, and sub-agent threads are preserved in their original structure, not flattened to plain text.
- **Safety by default** — Secrets are masked before any HTML or JSON is written, using both built-in patterns and user-configured rules. The redaction engine is recursive (handles nested tool state) and idempotent (safe to run twice).
- **Token reconstruction** — opencode's database schema evolved over time; many older sessions have zero token data. `opencode-export` reconstructs usage by summing per-step token counts from `step-finish` message parts, and independently backfills cache fields.
- **Agent-callable** — Rather than only a human-facing CLI, the MCP server lets your AI agent discover, inspect, and export sessions on its own.

## CLI Reference

| Command | Purpose | Key flags |
|---------|---------|-----------|
| `list` | List projects or sessions in the database | `--project DIR`, `--json` |
| `show <session-id>` | Preview a session's metadata (title, model, token usage, etc.) | — |
| `export` | Generate HTML + JSON archive | `--project DIR`, `--out DIR`, `--config FILE` |

Both HTML and JSON are generated by default. Use `--no-html` or `--no-json` to skip a format.

### Configuration

All options can be set via YAML/JSON config file or CLI flags. See [`examples/config.example.yaml`](examples/config.example.yaml) for the full schema:

```yaml
db: auto                    # auto-detect, or explicit path
project:
  directory: "my-project"   # substring match on session.directory
select:
  min_messages: 30          # skip tiny sessions
  min_text_bytes: 10240     # skip near-empty sessions
  exclude: []               # session IDs to skip
output:
  dir: ./opencode_export
  formats: [html, json]
  vendor: download          # download | skip | copy-from
  timezone: Asia/Shanghai
redact:
  builtin: true             # 18 built-in secret patterns
  exact: []                 # your own [secret, replacement] pairs
  patterns: []             # your own [regex, replacement] pairs
```

## MCP Server

Install with the `[mcp]` extra to let AI agents call the export tools directly:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/ZelinZhou-THU/opencode-export.git
cd opencode-export
pip install -e ".[mcp]"
```

Add to your `opencode.json` (or `~/.config/opencode/opencode.json`):

```json
{
  "mcp": {
    "opencode-export": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["opencode-export-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

Three tools become available to the agent:

| Tool | Purpose | Key params |
|------|---------|------------|
| `list_sessions` | List root sessions (by project) | `project_directory`, `limit` |
| `show_session` | Preview metadata + recent messages | `session_id`, `message_limit` |
| `export_sessions` | Generate HTML + JSON archive to disk | `output_dir`, `session_ids`, `formats` |

See [`skill/SKILL.md`](skill/SKILL.md) for the agent-facing usage guide, or [`examples/opencode.json.example`](examples/opencode.json.example) for a ready-to-use config.

## Output Structure

```
opencode_export/
├── index.html            # Session index (stats grid + sortable table)
├── sessions/
│   ├── 01_2026-04-02_session-title.html
│   └── ...
├── data/
│   └── sessions.json     # Full archive (untruncated, structured)
└── assets/
    ├── style.css
    ├── renderer.js        # KaTeX / Mermaid / lazy highlight.js
    └── vendor/            # Offline JS libraries
```

## Token Statistics

Each session and the index page display five token fields:

| Field | Meaning |
|-------|---------|
| `in` | Input tokens (new prompt consumption) |
| `out` | Output tokens (model generation) |
| `reasoning` | Reasoning tokens (o1 / DeepSeek-R1 style thinking) |
| `cache.read` | Prompt cache hit reads |
| `cache.write` | Prompt cache writes |

**Total = sum of all five fields.** This matches the billing granularity of OpenRouter, Anthropic, Google AI, and other providers where cache reads are billed as input tokens.

For older sessions where the database has zero token values, usage is reconstructed by summing per-step `d["tokens"]` across all `step-finish` parts.

## Development
