Claude Code

Base path: ~/.claude (env override: CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR).

Rows carry per-store observation stamps. Project transcripts were observed against claude-code v2.1.143 (2026-05-15); global prompt history was observed against claude-code v2.1.157 (2026-05-29).

Stores

Coverage is not the same as default search. default stores are searched normally; inspectable stores are discoverable only when an inventory caller opts in; catalog stores are documented but not searched by default; private stores are intentionally not enumerated. Some catalog stores expose safe structural samples for explicit inspection.

Version detection

Claude Code source discovery reports data-shape versions from concrete record evidence. Global history records with display, timestamp, and project are reported as claude.history_jsonl.log_entry.v1. Project and sub-agent transcripts use embedded transcript version metadata when present; otherwise their type, sessionId, and message keys identify the JSONL message shape. Task files with id, subject, description, and status are reported as claude.tasks.json.v1. Todo, team, app-state, skill, command, plugin, project instruction, user/project memory, and auto-memory stores use path and key-shape inference for their non-default adapters. Settings and app-state files use medium-confidence key/type summaries because their values are deliberately not indexed. Debug logs and shell snapshots expose metadata-only summaries, not raw file content.

Catalog observation stamps remain the fallback for discovered stores whose concrete shape cannot be sampled safely.

Record schemas

claude.history

Global JSONL prompt-history audit log at ${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR or ~/.claude}/history.jsonl. Each line carries display, pastedContents, timestamp as Unix milliseconds, project, and sessionId. display is the user-facing prompt text; when it contains [Pasted text #N] placeholders, agentgrep expands inline text from pastedContents or the external paste-cache/<contentHash>.txt file when present. Missing or non-text paste entries keep their original placeholder text.

{"display": "Review [Pasted text #1]",
 "pastedContents": {"1": {"type": "text", "content": "..."}},
 "timestamp": 1700000000000,
 "project": "/repo",
 "sessionId": "..."}

claude.projects.session

JSONL with stream fragments grouped by uuid. Keys: type, uuid, parentUuid, timestamp, sessionId, cwd, gitBranch, version, message.role, message.content[] (text/thinking/tool_use/tool_result), message.usage.

{"type": "user", "uuid": "...", "timestamp": "2026-05-17T...",
 "message": {"role": "user", "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "..."}]}}

Sub-agent dispatches nest under <session_uuid>/subagents/ and use the same record parser. agentgrep reports them as the distinct runtime store claude.projects_subagents so main session files and nested sub-agent files do not collapse into one source.

claude.store_db

Claude Code also keeps __store.db under the config root. Observed tables include base_messages, user_messages, assistant_messages, and conversation_summaries. The message tables can duplicate JSONL transcript content, so agentgrep catalogs and discovers the DB for explicit inventory but does not search it by default.

claude.projects.session_memory

Session memory summaries live under projects/<encoded_project>/<session_uuid>/session-memory/summary.md. They can contain prompt context and summaries, but they are derived state rather than the primary transcript.

Tasks, Plans, And Configuration

Tasks are JSON files under tasks/<task_list>/<task_id>.json with id, subject, description, status, blocks, blockedBy, and optional metadata fields. agentgrep emits one inspectable task sample from the subject and description plus status/blocking metadata. Plans are Markdown files under plans/*.md.

Settings and keybindings expose only top-level key summaries for explicit inspection, so raw values such as environment variables are not indexed. Auto-memory Markdown, CLAUDE.md memory files, persistent todos, user skills, legacy commands, project-local commands/agents/skills, plugin instructions, and team member prompts are inspectable because they can steer future Claude Code behavior. Project-local files are discovered only from roots already referenced by local Claude transcript metadata; agentgrep does not recursively scan $HOME for every possible project.

Context-mode files, IDE bridge state, Chrome/native integration state, native installer metadata, jobs, stats/update cache, and session state expose only key/type summaries. Debug logs and shell snapshots expose file metadata such as name, suffix, byte size, and line count. Security state, session environment, uploads, file history, backups, generic cache, credentials, and image/paste caches stay catalogued or private so storage audits can identify them without treating them as default prompt history.
