Validation coverage link

Adapters are validated against real transcripts with two mechanical checks. Line accounting: every source line becomes an event, a counted skip, or an error. Text surfacing: every long string an event keeps in its details or enrichment is either accounted for by the event’s text or content, or listed by the adapter with the reason it is not model-visible text, and where a harness records that it delivered text (Claude Code’s rendered reminders, Copilot CLI’s skill delivery hash) the adapter is held to that record. See the schema page for what text promises.

Every adapter was exercised against the same set of failing calls (a command that exits nonzero, a read of an absent path, an edit whose target text is missing, a fetch that 404s), and the first three parse as failed results everywhere. The recording differs underneath: Claude Code and Copilot CLI flag them natively; Codex 0.15x reports a nonzero exit only inside the unified exec output and a failed patch only as “Script failed” text, both of which the adapter reads; Antigravity reports a failed command only in the templated “exited with code” line, which the adapter reads, and other failures with an error key. The 404 is where they part: flagged on Copilot CLI and Antigravity, unflagged on Claude Code (the status lands in fetch.status_code), and indistinguishable from success on Codex.

Two Claude Code details worth knowing. An attachment record (the harness’s injected context: instructions, reminders, listings) becomes a system event whose details is the whole record and whose text is the injected message, taken from the record’s rendered <system-reminder> block on 2.1.267 and later and from the attachment’s own field before that. A prompt the user typed while the model was working is delivered the same way, so it is a system event too, with its authorship in details; user-message counts follow the harness’s turn structure. A background task’s notification carries two renderings, and the adapter picks the one the harness sent by the same position rule the harness uses.

One Codex detail: the system prompt travels in the session_meta record, which becomes the session_meta event, so the adapter also emits it as a system event of subtype session_meta/base_instructions on the same line, with the prompt as text. Every Codex session has one more system event than its record count suggests. A rollout the harness has compressed (rollout-*.jsonl.zst, a zstd stream of the plain file that Codex 0.164.0 and later write for rollouts older than seven days once its rollout-compression feature is on) is read like a plain one, by every command; when both representations exist, the plain file is the session and the archive is a counted skip, which is how Codex itself resolves them.

Two Antigravity caveats worth knowing: its transcripts carry no token usage before agy 1.4.12 (from 1.4.12 every model response records input_tokens, cache_read_tokens, and output_tokens, which the adapter attaches to the assistant message; older sessions have no totals), and its tool calls have no correlation IDs (the adapter synthesizes step-derived IDs and pairs positionally). Its thinking key carries a summary on Gemini models and the full plaintext reasoning on the Claude and GPT-OSS models it also serves.

One Copilot CLI caveat: its transcripts record no per-message token usage before 1.0.105. From 1.0.105 a session.usage_record precedes every assistant message with that API call’s usage, matched by apiCallId, and the adapter attaches it, so those sessions carry per-message usage and totals (inputTokens there is the total prompt, the OpenAI-style convention). Older sessions have only the session-cumulative, per-model totals in the session.shutdown record (and a prompt-side snapshot of the last API call in session.usage_checkpoint), so their totals is omitted and those records are preserved as system events with the numbers in details. A resumed session writes another session.shutdown with cumulative counts, so the session total is the last one. The event schema itself is observed, not documented by GitHub; reasoning was validated for every model family the CLI offers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, Moonshot, Microsoft), which record it in three shapes; a block shape outside those fails loudly until it is inventoried. Subagents are recorded inside the parent transcript and attributed by agent_id, at any depth and including background and parallel agents; see Subagents. Every built-in tool registered on 1.0.88 was exercised, including failures: a tool that could not run, and a shell command that exited nonzero, both parse as failed results. Interactive sessions add hook runs (hook.start/hook.end, a hook’s injected context surfacing as the end event’s text), compaction records (the summary surfacing as text), and the harness’s helper-model calls (model.*), all preserved as system events.

A Copilot CLI skill activation becomes a system event of subtype skill.invoked whose text is what the harness delivered: the skill’s base directory, a list of every file under the skill directory when it holds any (the model learns of bundled files the SKILL.md never mentions), and the SKILL.md body, with the <skill-context> tag lines left to --text-form delivered. Activating the same skill again with its body unchanged is logged by reference (skill.invoked_ref, a content hash in place of the body) and delivered again; the adapter resolves the hash to the earlier body, so the second activation carries the same text as the first. The delivery record that follows each activation (skill.context_delivered_ref) stays textless; a test holds each one to the activation before it by that hash.

Format drift link

When a transcript was written by a harness release newer than the last one validated (harness.LastValidated), parse errors say so: the likely cause is format drift, and the fix is usually an agentminutes update. To check a transcript without parsing it, use agentminutes drift scan; see CLI.

Companion tooling link

agentminutes reads transcripts after the fact; it never invokes a harness. Its companion agentsummons owns the invocation side: agentsummons convenes the meeting, agentminutes takes the minutes. An agentsummons Result’s session ID, timestamps, and workdir are the inputs Locate and Scan need to find what the harness wrote.
