Ridiculously over-the-top AI generated logo for a package that does basically nothing.

I'm constantly trying to find things in the event logs stored by my coding agents: "when did we do this again? What was the context surrounding this change?"

Here's a tool to index and full-text search over agent context stored in ~/.claude and ~/.codex.

glom walks both directories, parses every discoverable file — session transcripts, memory files, plans, tasks, skills, instructions, settings, history — and stores the content in a local SQLite database with FTS5 full-text indexing. Session JSONL files also get structured tool-call extraction (tool name, input, output, error status, line number), stored in a separate searchable table.

Session document search indexes human-facing transcript text. Structured tool payloads and repeated session metadata stay in the dedicated tool_calls table instead of being duplicated into document search.

uv tool install git+https://github.com/femtomc/glom

glom index          # incremental (mtime-based, skips unchanged files)
glom index --full   # force full re-index

Bulk mode (deferred FTS rebuild) activates automatically when >100 files need processing.

glom search "bellman orchestration"
glom search "feedback" -k memory          # filter by kind
glom search "monadic core" -p tiny        # filter by project slug
glom search "protocol" -s claude -n 5     # filter by source, limit results
glom search "deploy" --json               # structured output for agents

Kinds: memory, plan, task, session, skill, instructions, settings, history.

glom tools "git push" -t Bash             # search Bash calls for "git push"
glom tools '"pyproject.toml"' -t Read     # phrase search (FTS5 syntax)
glom tools --names                        # list all tool names with counts
glom tools "error" --json                 # JSON output

glom stats                                # index statistics
glom show ~/.claude/projects/.../memory/MEMORY.md   # display a document
glom show MEMORY.md                       # suffix match

All commands support --json for agent consumption.

Session files also produce structured tool_calls rows with tool name, input arguments, output text, error flag, and source line number.

Set GLOM_DB to override the database path (default: ~/.local/share/glom/index.db).
