Guides

Guides narrate journeys that cross components — server, client, and a harness in one sitting — so they are written on this site rather than synced from any single repo. Every journey is walked end to end before it ships.

• Capture a Claude Code session — Launch Claude Code under the tapes capture proxy, ship every turn to the server, and read the session back.
• Run the open-core stack with Docker Compose — Start tapes, PostgreSQL, Ollama, and the skills, search, and export cassettes from the source repository.
• Capture a Codex session — Launch the Codex CLI under the capture proxy, or capture the self-launching ChatGPT desktop app through lifecycle hooks.
• Capture local Ollama traffic — Put the tapes proxy in front of a local Ollama server and capture whatever an Ollama-compatible client sends through it.
• Search captured sessions by meaning — Find past agent work semantically — from the client, over the read API, and piped straight into skill generation.
• Check the tapes from your agent — Install the tapes skill so an agent searches past sessions on its own when you say “check the tapes”.
• Turn captured sessions into skills — Extract a reusable skill from real sessions with an LLM, review it, and install it into an agent’s skills directory.
