Interactive terminal viewer for Copilot CLI sessions and waza evaluation transcripts. Built as a single-file .NET 10 app
Requires the .NET 10 SDK.
dnx dotnet-replay # Browse your recent Copilot CLI sessionsNo install needed — dnx downloads the tool to the NuGet cache, runs it, and cleans up.
dotnet tool install -g dotnet-replayOnce installed globally, run replay directly from any directory.
dotnet new tool-manifest # if you don't already have one
dotnet tool install dotnet-replayWith a local install, use dotnet replay instead.
replay # Browse recent Copilot CLI and Claude Code sessions
replay <session-id> # Open a session by GUIDRun with no arguments to interactively browse your Copilot CLI and Claude Code sessions. Sessions are loaded asynchronously and can be filtered with /.
replay <file> # Interactive pager with keybindings
replay <file> --tail 10 # Show only the last 10 turns
replay <file> --expand-tools # Show tool args, results, and thinking
replay <file> --full # Don't truncate long content
replay <file> --filter user # Filter by event type (user, assistant, tool, error)
replay <file> --no-color # Disable ANSI colors
replay session.jsonl --no-follow # Disable auto-follow for JSONL filesNote:
dotnet replayalso works if you prefer the explicit prefix.
Auto-follow: JSONL files automatically watch for new content (like
tail -f). Use--no-followto disable this behavior.
replay <file> --stream # Output entire transcript and exit
replay <file> | less # Auto-switches to stream mode when pipedreplay <file> --json # Output as structured JSONL
replay <file> --json --filter user # JSON output of user messages only
replay <file> --json --tail 5 # JSON output of last 5 turns
replay <file> --json --expand-tools # Include tool args/results in JSON
replay <file> --summary # Show high-level session statistics
replay <file> --summary --json # Summary as machine-readable JSONJSON output format — One JSON object per line:
{"turn": 0, "role": "user", "timestamp": "2026-02-20T02:07:54Z", "content": "...", "content_length": 1234}

{"turn": 0, "role": "tool", "tool_name": "view", "status": "complete", "result_length": 2048}Summary output shows session overview: duration, turn counts, tools used, skills invoked, and errors.
