# Session Analyzer Skill
Post-hoc analysis tool for validating Claude Code session behavior against SKILL.md specifications.
## Purpose
Analyze completed sessions to verify:
1. **Expected vs Actual Behavior** - Did the skill follow SKILL.md workflow?
2. **Component Invocations** - Were SubAgents, Hooks, and Tools called correctly?
3. **Artifacts** - Were expected files created/deleted?
4. **Bug Detection** - Any unexpected errors or deviations?
---
## Input Requirements
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|-----------|----------|-------------|
| `sessionId` | YES | UUID of the session to analyze |
| `targetSkill` | YES | Path to SKILL.md to validate against |
| `additionalRequirements` | NO | Extra validation criteria |
---
## Phase 1: Locate Session Files
### Step 1.1: Find Session Files
Session files are located in `~/.claude/`:
```bash
# Main session log
~/.claude/projects/-{encoded-cwd}/{sessionId}.jsonl
# Debug log (detailed)
~/.claude/debug/{sessionId}.txt
# Agent transcripts (if subagents were used)
~/.claude/projects/-{encoded-cwd}/agent-{agentId}.jsonl
```
Use script to locate files:
```bash
${baseDir}/scripts/find-session-files.sh {sessionId}
```
### Step 1.2: Verify Files Exist
Check all required files exist before proceeding. If debug log is missing, analysis will be limited.
---
## Phase 2: Parse Target SKILL.md
### Step 2.1: Extract Expected Components
Read the target SKILL.md and identify:
**From YAML Frontmatter:**
- `hooks.PreToolUse` - Expected PreToolUse hooks and matchers
- `hooks.PostToolUse` - Expected PostToolUse hooks
- `hooks.Stop` - Expected Stop hooks
- `hooks.SubagentStop` - Expected SubagentStop hooks
- `allowed-tools` - Tools the skill is allowed to use
**From Markdown Body:**
- SubAgents mentioned (`Task(subagent_type="...")`)
- Skills called (`Skill("...")`)
- Artifacts created (`.dev-flow/drafts/`, `.dev-flow/plans/`, etc.)
- Workflow steps and conditions
### Step 2.2: Build Expected Behavior Checklist
Create checklist from SKILL.md analysis:
```markdown
## Expected Behavior
### SubAgents
- [ ] Explore agent called (parallel, run_in_background)
- [ ] gap-analyzer called before plan generation
- [ ] reviewer called after plan creation
### Hooks
- [ ] PreToolUse[Edit|Write] triggers plan-guard.sh
- [ ] Stop hook validates reviewer approval
### Artifacts
- [ ] Draft file created at .dev-flow/drafts/{name}.md
- [ ] Plan file created at .dev-flow/plans/{name}.md
- [ ] Draft file deleted after OKAY
### Workflow
- [ ] Interview Mode before Plan Generation
- [ ] User explicit request triggers plan generation
- [ ] Reviewer REJECT causes revision loop
```
---
## Phase 3: Analyze Debug Log
The debug log (`~/.claude/debug/{sessionId}.txt`) contains detailed execution traces.
### Step 3.1: Extract SubAgent Calls
Search patterns:
```
SubagentStart with query: {agent-name}
SubagentStop with query: {agent-id}
```
Use script:
```bash
${baseDir}/scripts/extract-subagent-calls.sh {debug-log-path}
```
### Step 3.2: Extract Hook Events
Search patterns:
```
Getting matching hook commands for {HookEvent} with query: {tool-name}
Matched {N} unique hooks for query "{query}"
Hooks: Processing prompt hook with prompt: {prompt}
Hooks: Prompt hook condition was met/not met
permissionDecision: allow/deny
```
Use script:
```bash
${baseDir}/scripts/extract-hook-events.sh {debug-log-path}
```
### Step 3.3: Extract Tool Calls
Search patterns:
```
executePreToolHooks called for tool: {tool-name}
File {path} written atomically
```
### Step 3.4: Extract Hook Results
For prompt-based hooks, find the model response:
```
Hooks: Model response: {
"ok": true/false,
"reason": "..."
}
```
---
## Phase 4: Verify Artifacts
### Step 4.1: Check File Creation
For each expected artifact:
1. Search debug log for `FileHistory: Tracked file modification for {path}`
2. Search for `File {path} written atomically`
3. Verify current filesystem state
### Step 4.2: Check File Deletion
For files that should be deleted:
1. Search for `rm` commands in Bash calls
2. Verify file no longer exists on filesystem
---
## Phase 5: Compare Expected vs Actual
### Step 5.1: Build Comparison Table
```markdown
| Component | Expected | Actual | Status |
|-----------|----------|--------|--------|
| Explore agent | 2 parallel calls | 2 calls at 09:39:26 | ✅ |
| gap-analyzer | Called before plan | Called at 09:43:08 | ✅ |
| reviewer | Called after plan | 2 calls (REJECT→OKAY) | ✅ |
| PreToolUse hook | Edit\|Write matcher | Triggered for Write | ✅ |
| Stop hook | Validates approval | Returned ok:true | ✅ |
| Draft file | Created then deleted | Created→Deleted | ✅ |
| Plan file | Created | Exists (10KB) | ✅ |
```
### Step 5.2: Identify Deviations
Flag any mismatches:
- Missing component calls
- Wrong order of operations
- Hook failures
- Missing artifacts
- Unexpected errors
---
## Phase 6: Generate Report
### Report Template
```markdown
# Session Analysis Report
## Session Info
- **Session ID**: {sessionId}
- **Target Skill**: {skillPath}
- **Analysis Date**: {date}

## Scripts Reference
| Script | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| `find-session-files.sh` | Locate all files for a session ID |
| `extract-subagent-calls.sh` | Parse subagent invocations from debug log |
| `extract-hook-events.sh` | Parse hook events from debug log |
---
## Usage Example
```
User: "Analyze session 3cc71c9f-d27a-4233-9dbc-c4f07ea6ec5b against .claude/skills/specify/SKILL.md"
1. Find session files
2. Parse SKILL.md → Expected: Explore, gap-analyzer, reviewer, hooks
3. Analyze debug log → Extract actual calls
4. Verify artifacts → Check .dev-flow/
5. Compare → Build verification table
6. Generate report → PASS/FAIL with details
```
