Enum HistoryEntry 

pub enum HistoryEntry {
    User {
        uuid: Option<String>,
        timestamp: Option<String>,
        cwd: Option<String>,
        git_branch: Option<String>,
        message: Value,
        rest: Map<String, Value>,
    },
    Assistant {
        uuid: Option<String>,
        timestamp: Option<String>,
        message: Value,
        rest: Map<String, Value>,
    },
    Other {
        type_tag: String,
        raw: Value,
    },
}

One parsed line from a session .jsonl.

Only user and assistant entry types get typed variants; everything else (queue-operation, attachment, ai-title, last-prompt, future types) lands in Self::Other with the raw JSON for caller inspection.

Variants

User

A user entry: a prompt turn written by the user.

Fields

uuid: Option<String>

Entry uuid, when present.

timestamp: Option<String>

ISO-8601 timestamp, when present.

cwd: Option<String>

Working directory recorded for the turn, when present.

git_branch: Option<String>

Git branch recorded for the turn, when present.

message: Value

The raw message payload as Claude Code wrote it.

rest: Map<String, Value>

Every remaining field of the record, keyed as Claude Code wrote it (camelCase, e.g. promptSource). See HistoryEntry::field and the typed accessors for common lookups.

Assistant

An assistant entry: a model response turn.

Fields

uuid: Option<String>

Entry uuid, when present.

timestamp: Option<String>

ISO-8601 timestamp, when present.

message: Value

The raw message payload as Claude Code wrote it.

rest: Map<String, Value>

Every remaining field of the record, keyed as Claude Code wrote it (camelCase, e.g. requestId). See HistoryEntry::field and the typed accessors for common lookups.

Other

Any other entry type, carried as raw JSON for caller inspection.

Fields

type_tag: String

The type field as Claude Code wrote it.

raw: Value

The full raw entry.

Implementations

impl HistoryEntry

pub fn field(&self, key: &str) -> Option<&Value>

Raw access to a field by its name as Claude Code wrote it (camelCase, e.g. "permissionMode").

For Self::User and Self::Assistant this resolves against rest, so the fields promoted to struct fields (uuid, timestamp, cwd, gitBranch, message) are not reachable here. For Self::Other it resolves against the full raw entry.

These records are Claude Code’s data, not this crate’s: a CLI update can add, drop, or retype any field, which is why this returns raw JSON and the typed accessors below are all Option-shaped.

pub fn prompt_source(&self) -> Option<&str>

How the prompt reached the session (typed, queued, sdk, system, suggestion_accepted), when recorded. Only user entries carrying an actual prompt have this; tool-result user turns generally do not.

pub fn entrypoint(&self) -> Option<&str>

The surface the session was driven from (cli, claude-desktop, sdk-cli), when recorded.

pub fn is_meta(&self) -> Option<bool>

Whether the entry is harness-injected context rather than a real turn. None when the field is absent.

pub fn is_sidechain(&self) -> Option<bool>

Whether the entry belongs to a subagent sidechain. None when the field is absent.

pub fn session_id(&self) -> Option<&str>

The session id recorded on the entry, when present.

pub fn parent_uuid(&self) -> Option<&str>

The uuid of the parent entry, when present. Root entries carry parentUuid: null, which also reads as None here.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for HistoryEntry

fn clone(&self) -> HistoryEntry

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for HistoryEntry

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Serialize for HistoryEntry

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.
