UniSessions

UniSessions is an SDK-first AI CLI session converter for moving sessions between Codex, Claude Code, Pi, OpenCode, Devin, Factory, Windsurf Cascade, Grok Build, Freebuff Desktop, OMP (oh-my-pi), and Command Code, reading T3 Code threads too, with trace export for HuggingFace and fine-tuning (tool calls and reasoning included), plus an MCP chat recall server built on top.

Convert one AI CLI session format into another across Codex, Pi, OpenCode, Claude Code, Devin, Factory, Windsurf Cascade, Grok Build, Freebuff Desktop, OMP, and Command Code.

I use a lot of AI coding CLIs Codex Claude Code Pi OpenCode Devin Factory Windsurf Grok and wanted to move a session from one tool into another without losing the useful conversation history

Why I built this

I looked for a tool that could convert one AI CLI session into another AI CLI session format and found nothing so I built one

I also wanted my agent to remember things from my other sessions like if I solved a bug in one project I wanted to tell it hey in that other session I fixed this by doing X and it would go check and learn from it instead of me explaining the same thing again

So this does two things

Moves your sessions between Codex Pi OpenCode Claude Code Devin Factory Windsurf Cascade Grok Build Freebuff Desktop, OMP, and Command Code in any direction: 132 combinations, counting T3 Code
Exports sessions as traces in HuggingFace STS OpenAI fine-tuning or ShareGPT format for Hub upload or model training
Lets your agent search through all your old chat history across all projects and providers so it can recall what you did before and learn from it

Then I wanted the project to not be locked into a CLI or MCP its an SDK first so you can use it for other projects to do cool stuff like build a GUI for it or whatever you want the CLI and MCP server are just built on top of the SDK

Quick Start

Install from PyPI:

pip install unisessions
python -m unisessions list codex
python -m unisessions list pi
python -m unisessions list opencode
python -m unisessions list claude
python -m unisessions list devin
python -m unisessions list factory
python -m unisessions list windsurf
python -m unisessions list grok
python -m unisessions list freebuff
python -m unisessions list omp
python -m unisessions list commandcode
python -m unisessions list t3

Or clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/vibheksoni/session-export.git
cd session-export
pip install -e .
python -m unisessions list codex

Convert a single session (dry-run first, then write):

python -m unisessions codex-to-pi <session-id>
python -m unisessions codex-to-pi <session-id> --write
python -m unisessions claude-to-pi <session-id> --write
python -m unisessions devin-to-pi <session-id> --write
python -m unisessions factory-to-pi <session-id> --write
python -m unisessions windsurf-to-pi <session-id> --write
python -m unisessions freebuff-to-pi <session-id> --write
python -m unisessions omp-to-pi <session-id> --write
python -m unisessions commandcode-to-pi <session-id> --write
python -m unisessions t3-to-pi <session-id> --write
python -m unisessions t3-to-codex <session-id> --write

Export a session as a HuggingFace trace:

python -m unisessions to-trace codex <session-id> --format sts --write -o trace.jsonl

Bulk export all Codex sessions to Pi:

python -m unisessions codex-to-pi-all --write --workers 8

Search across all sessions via MCP:

python -m unisessions.mcp_server

Conversion directions (132 in total)

T3 Code adds 22 directions, 132 in total. Reading T3 is stable: eleven t3-to-<provider> commands. Writing into T3 is experimental: eleven <provider>-to-t3 commands write a thread into a new, empty T3 home, which T3 imports the first time it starts there. The live T3 data directory is never written. See docs/stores.md.

OMP resumes a session on the model its last reply names. If that model is not available, interactive omp falls back to your configured model with a warning, but omp -p and RPC mode refuse to resume unless you pass --model:

omp --resume <session-id> --model <provider/model> -p "continue"

How to export traces

Export any session as a trace file for HuggingFace Hub upload, model fine-tuning, or training data preparation. Three formats are supported:

Format	Use case	Tool calls and reasoning
`sts`	HuggingFace Hub trace viewer (Session Trace Simple Format)	text only (the format has no tool events)
`openai`	OpenAI / Azure fine-tuning JSONL: assistant `tool_calls`, then `role: tool` results	included
`sharegpt`	ShareGPT for LLaMA-Factory, Axolotl: `gpt`, `function_call`, and `observation` turns	included

Reasoning is written as a <think>...</think> block at the start of the assistant text. Leave either part out with --no-thinking or --no-tool-calls (see Options).

# HuggingFace STS format (default) -- print to stdout
python -m unisessions to-trace codex <session-id> --format sts

# OpenAI fine-tuning format -- write to file
python -m unisessions to-trace pi <session-id> --format openai --write -o train.jsonl

# ShareGPT format from Devin session
python -m unisessions to-trace devin <session-id> --format sharegpt --write -o traces.jsonl

Upload to HuggingFace Hub:

pip install huggingface-cli
hf upload your-username/your-dataset trace.jsonl

The Hub auto-detects the trace format and renders it in the trace viewer. See the trace export docs for SDK usage and format details.

Options: tool calls and thinking

Every conversion carries reasoning and tool calls (with their outputs and error flags) by default. Turn either part off per command, or for a whole environment:

python -m unisessions pi-to-claude <id> --write --no-tool-calls
python -m unisessions to-trace codex <id> --format openai --no-thinking --write -o train.jsonl
export UNISESSIONS_NO_TOOL_CALLS=1   # the default for every command in this shell

The same switches exist in the SDK:

from session_sdk import ConversionOptions, conversion_options

with conversion_options(ConversionOptions(include_tool_calls=False)):
    plan = converter.plan(session_id)  # the plan carries text and reasoning only

How to handle conflicts

When a destination file already exists use --on-conflict to control behavior:

Mode	Behavior
`skip` (default)	Skip if destination exists
`overwrite`	Replace existing destination with new content
`fork`	Generate a new UUID session ID, preserve old file untouched
`update`	Overwrite only when the source file was modified after the destination was written

python -m unisessions codex-to-pi <id> --write --on-conflict fork
python -m unisessions codex-to-pi <id> --write --on-conflict update

How to bulk export

Export all Codex sessions to one or more targets in parallel. Every target listed below is supported:

python -m unisessions codex-to-pi-all --write --workers 8
python -m unisessions export-all --write --targets pi opencode claude devin factory windsurf grok freebuff omp commandcode --workers 8

How to use custom paths

Use system defaults by omitting path flags. For backups or staging:

python -m unisessions --codex-session-dir C:\path\to\sessions list codex
python -m unisessions --pi-session-dir C:\path\to\pi\sessions list pi
python -m unisessions --opencode-session-dir C:\path\to\opencode\exports list opencode
python -m unisessions --claude-session-dir C:\path\to\claude\projects list claude
python -m unisessions --devin-session-dir C:\path\to\devin\transcripts list devin
python -m unisessions --factory-session-dir C:\path\to\factory\sessions list factory
python -m unisessions --windsurf-session-dir C:\path\to\windsurf\cascade list windsurf
python -m unisessions --grok-home C:\path\to\grok --grok-session-dir C:\path\to\grok\sessions list grok
python -m unisessions --freebuff-home C:\path\to\freebuff --freebuff-session-dir C:\path\to\freebuff\projects list freebuff
python -m unisessions --omp-agent-home C:\path\to\omp\agent --omp-session-dir C:\path\to\omp\sessions list omp
python -m unisessions --commandcode-home C:\path\to\commandcode --commandcode-session-dir C:\path\to\commandcode\projects list commandcode

OpenCode output files use the official import/export JSON shape. Load them with opencode import <path-to-json>.

MCP server for agent chat recall

UniSessions ships a FastMCP server that exposes a SQLite FTS5 full-text search index over parsed session chat history. AI agents can use it to recall past conversations, find what was discussed, and search across all providers.

Setup

python -m unisessions.mcp_server

MCP client configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unisessions": {
      "command": "unisessions-mcp",
      "args": [],
      "env": {
        "UNISESSIONS_SEARCH_INDEX": "%LOCALAPPDATA%\\unisessions\\search.sqlite"
      }
    }
  }
}

HTTP transports for app-managed servers

unisessions-mcp --transport streamable-http --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8765 --path /mcp
unisessions-mcp --transport http --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8765
unisessions-mcp --transport sse --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8765

Environment knobs: UNISESSIONS_MCP_TRANSPORT, UNISESSIONS_MCP_HOST, UNISESSIONS_MCP_PORT, UNISESSIONS_MCP_PATH, UNISESSIONS_MCP_LOG_LEVEL, UNISESSIONS_MCP_SHOW_BANNER, UNISESSIONS_SEARCH_INDEX.

MCP tools

Tool	Description
`list_chats`	List sessions globally or filtered by provider and project path
`index_status`	Report indexed, missing, stale, deleted, and refresh-size counts
`refresh_chats_index`	Parse sessions into SQLite FTS5 index for fast recall
`search_chats`	Full-text search with literal, regex, all-keywords, and any-keywords modes
`search_sessions`	Find which sessions match a topic, with match counts and top snippets

search_chats returns a structured response with search_metadata (total_matches, deduplicated, sessions_searched, messages_searched, truncated) and a results array ranked by relevance score. Duplicate messages across compaction cycles are collapsed to a single hit with a duplicate_count field.

search_chats supports provider (codex, pi, opencode, claude, devin, factory, windsurf, grok, freebuff, omp, commandcode, t3), cwd, session_id, role (user, assistant), message type (message, compaction, contextual), exclude_keywords to filter out false positives, max_per_session (default 5) to prevent one session from flooding results, date range (after, before), and stale-index policy (refresh, skip, error).

Search runs over parsed TextMessage rows, not raw JSON files, so semantic filters like roles=["user"] stay correct. Tool calls and tool outputs are excluded to keep recall focused on chat text. An internal raw-match cap of 200 prevents timeouts on massive sessions.

Performance: warm indexed search ~35-40ms on a 20-session corpus. Cold index refresh ~39-49s (I/O-bound). Call index_status first, then refresh_chats_index, then use search_chats with stale_policy="skip" for fast interactive recall.

SDK usage

Build your own application on top of session_sdk without the CLI:

from session_sdk import (
    CodexStore, PiStore, PiDcpStore, FactoryStore, WindsurfStore,
    CodexToPiConverter, SessionIdFactory, WindowsDefaults,
)

defaults = WindowsDefaults()
codex = CodexStore(defaults.codex_home)
pi = PiStore(defaults.pi_agent_home)
dcp = PiDcpStore(defaults.pi_dcp_home)

converter = CodexToPiConverter(codex, pi, dcp, SessionIdFactory())
plan = converter.plan("your-session-id-here")

print(f"Source:      {plan.source.path}")
print(f"Destination: {plan.destination}")
print(f"Records:     {len(plan.records)}")

converter.write(plan, overwrite=False)

Trace export API

from session_sdk import (
    CodexStore, WindowsDefaults,
    MessageExtractor, build_trace,
)
from session_sdk.jsonl import _dumps

defaults = WindowsDefaults()
store = CodexStore(defaults.codex_home)
session = store.load("session-id")
messages = MessageExtractor().from_codex(session)

# Build HuggingFace STS-format trace
records = build_trace("sts", session, messages)

# Write to JSONL
with open("trace.jsonl", "wb") as f:
    for record in records:
        f.write(_dumps(record))
        f.write(b"\n")

Search API

from session_sdk import (
    CodexStore, PiStore, OpenCodeStore, ClaudeStore, DevinStore, FactoryStore, WindsurfStore, GrokStore, FreebuffStore, OmpStore, CommandCodeStore,
    SessionSearchEngine, WindowsDefaults,
)

defaults = WindowsDefaults()
engine = SessionSearchEngine(
    CodexStore(defaults.codex_home),
    PiStore(defaults.pi_agent_home),
    OpenCodeStore(defaults.opencode_data_home),
    claude=ClaudeStore(defaults.claude_home),
    devin=DevinStore(defaults.devin_home),
    factory=FactoryStore(defaults.factory_home),
    windsurf=WindsurfStore(defaults.windsurf_home),
    grok=GrokStore(defaults.grok_home),
    freebuff=FreebuffStore(defaults.freebuff_home),
    omp=OmpStore(defaults.omp_agent_home),
    commandcode=CommandCodeStore(defaults.commandcode_home),
)

engine.refresh_index(provider="claude")

response = engine.search(
    query="authentication",
    provider="claude",
    roles=["assistant"],
    stale_policy="skip",
)
for hit in response["results"]:
    print(f"{hit['session_id']} [{hit['role']}] {hit['snippet'][:80]}")

# SDK escape hatch for apps that want custom ranking or filtering.
raw_rows = engine.raw_search_rows(query="authentication", provider="claude")

engine.close()

Dependency chain (no cycles)

json_types  (leaf)
jsonl       -> json_types
models      -> json_types
paths       (leaf)
stores      -> models, jsonl, json_types, paths
converters  -> stores, models, paths, json_types
search      -> stores, converters, models

The SDK never imports from the CLI. unisessions depends on session_sdk, never the reverse.

Default session paths

Codex sessions	`~/.codex/sessions`
Codex archived	`~/.codex/archived_sessions`
Pi sessions	`~/.pi/agent/sessions`
Pi DCP sidecars	`~/.pi-dcp/sessions`
OpenCode data	`%APPDATA%\opencode` or `OPENCODE_GLOBAL_DATA_DIR`
Claude Code	`~/.claude` or `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`
Devin	`%APPDATA%/devin` or `DEVIN_CONFIG_DIR`
Factory	`~/.factory` or `FACTORY_CONFIG_DIR`

Freebuff Desktop	`$FREEBUFF_CONFIG_DIR/projects` or `~/.config/freebuff-desktop/projects`
OMP	`~/.omp/agent/sessions` (or the agent dir of the active profile, `PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR`, or `$XDG_DATA_HOME/omp`)
Command Code	`~/.commandcode/projects` (one folder per cwd, named by its lowercase slug)
T3 Code	`$T3CODE_HOME/userdata` or `~/.t3/userdata` (`statev2.sqlite`, then legacy `state.sqlite`). Writes need an explicit `--t3-home`

Data fidelity

UniSessions performs text-history conversions, not full behavioral state replay. It preserves user/assistant/system text and enough metadata for the target tool to open the session. Thinking, tool calls, and tool outputs are carried across where the target format has a field for them (see Format Support). Provider-specific events, approval state, sandbox state, MCP runtime, and UI-only events are not preserved.

How compaction is handled

Compaction markers are preserved across all ten formats so the target tool can reconstruct context correctly:

Pi: type="compaction" entry with summary, firstKeptEntryId, tokensBefore, details, and fromHook=True
Codex: type="compacted" record with payload.message summary text
OpenCode: user message with CompactionPart + assistant summary=True
Claude Code: system entry with subtype="compact_boundary" + logicalParentUuid, followed by user message with isCompactSummary=true
Devin: compaction summaries become system steps in ATIF transcript JSON
Windsurf Cascade: compaction checkpoints (field 30) become compaction summary messages
Grok Build: compaction summaries import as user_message_chunk envelopes so the conversation stays readable in Grok's TUI
OMP: type="compaction" entry whose firstKeptEntryId is its own id, so a resumed session starts from the summary
Command Code: compaction entry whose firstKeptEntryId is its own id, so a resumed session starts from the summary

How contextual messages are handled

Codex injects contextual messages (permissions, AGENTS.md instructions, environment context, skills, plugins) as developer or user role messages. These are marked is_contextual=True by the SDK extractor and skipped by all builders during export to prevent payload overflow in target tools. SDK consumers can still inspect these messages.

Performance

orjson for JSON parsing when available (2x faster than stdlib)
google-re2 for regex search when available (4x faster than stdlib re)
Trace export to HuggingFace STS, OpenAI fine-tuning, and ShareGPT formats
O(1) session lookup via cached path index and ID index
has_changes() reads head meta + line count (no full JSON parse)
Bulk export reuses converter instances across sessions
Default bulk workers: 8 (higher is opt-in; 32 workers measured ~2x slower)
Warm indexed search: ~35-40ms on a 20-session corpus
Cold index refresh: ~39-49s (I/O-bound, threading helps modestly)

FAQ

Can I convert Claude Code sessions to Pi?

Yes. Use python -m unisessions claude-to-pi <session-id> --write. All 110 conversion directions are supported between Codex, Pi, OpenCode, Claude Code, Devin, Factory, Windsurf Cascade, Grok, Freebuff Desktop, OMP, and Command Code. T3 Code adds 22 more (132 in total).

Can I export all my Codex sessions at once?

Yes. Use python -m unisessions codex-to-pi-all --write --workers 8 to bulk export all Codex sessions to Pi in parallel. You can also export to multiple targets at once with export-all --write --targets pi opencode claude devin factory windsurf grok freebuff omp commandcode.

Can my AI agent search my old chat history?

Yes. The MCP server exposes search_chats and search_sessions tools that do full-text search over parsed chat messages from all providers. Your agent can recall what you discussed in any session across any project. Search runs on a SQLite FTS5 index so warm queries are ~35ms. Results are ranked by relevance, deduplicated across compaction cycles, and capped per session to prevent timeouts.

What happens if the destination session already exists?

Use --on-conflict to control behavior: skip (default), overwrite, fork (new UUID, preserves old file), or update (skip if unchanged, overwrite if source changed).

Does this preserve tool calls and tool outputs?

Yes, where the target format can hold them. Each tool call keeps its name, arguments, output, and error flag, and thinking is kept too. T3 Code writes keep text only, and some source tools (for example Windsurf's non-shell steps) are not decoded yet. See Format Support.

Can I use the SDK without the CLI?

Yes. The SDK (session_sdk) is a standalone library with no CLI dependencies. Import stores, converters, and the search engine directly in your own Python projects. The CLI and MCP server are thin wrappers built on top.

What session formats are supported?

Codex JSONL rollout files, Pi JSONL append-only tree entries, OpenCode export/import JSON, Claude Code JSONL transcript files, Devin ATIF transcript JSON with SQLite metadata, Factory JSONL transcript files, Windsurf Cascade AES-256-GCM encrypted protobuf trajectory files, Grok Build ACP updates.jsonl + summary.json session directories, grok-cli grok.db databases, Freebuff Desktop per-project SQLite desktop-v2.db (threads + messages) databases, OMP JSONL tree entries with a fixed-width title line, Command Code projects/ JSONL files (versions 1 to 3), and T3 Code's SQLite databases. The eleven standard formats convert in all 110 directions, and T3 Code adds 22 more.

How fast is bulk export?

A full export of 276 Codex sessions to Pi completes in about 65 seconds with 8 workers. The largest sessions (700MB+) take a few seconds each. Default workers is 8 because higher counts measured slower on I/O-bound workloads.
