ctx is an open-source Rust CLI that indexes and searches local coding-agent session transcripts and tool calls across providers like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. It gives agents fast, token-efficient recall of past sessions, with a paid 'ctx pro' add-on that maps code lines, commits, or PRs back to the agent session that produced them.

Use cases

  • search past coding agent session history locally
  • find why a line of code was written by tracing it to the agent session
  • let agents recover decisions and failed approaches from earlier sessions
  • reduce token spend when agents need historical context
  • audit previous agent sessions in detail
  • resume work across multiple agent threads

When to choose

  • you use coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor and want them to recall prior sessions
  • you want fast local search over agent transcripts without sending data to the cloud
  • you need to trace code changes back to the agent conversation that produced them
  • you want to avoid lossy agent-memory summaries

When to avoid

  • you don't use coding agents or have no local session history
  • you need team-shared history across machines (attribution only works for local sessions)
  • you need a hosted or web-based search interface
