Omnigent (omnigent-ai/omnigent) is a self-hosted coding agent platform whose

backend stores conversations in SQLite at ~/.omnigent/chat.db (or

$OMNIGENT_DATA_DIR/chat.db). Conversations live in conversations with

16-byte BLOB UUID keys (id, parent_conversation_id, workspace_id), unix-second

created_at and updated_at timestamps, and title. Workspace paths, task summaries,

and subagent flags (kind = 2) are joined from omnigent_conversation_metadata and projects.

Turns live in conversation_items ordered by position. Each row carries an integer

type code (1 = message, 2 = function_call, 3 = function_call_output,

6 = compaction, 11 = terminal_command), created_at, and a JSON data payload:

  • type = 1 (message) rows with role = 'user' or role = 'assistant' emit conversation turns.
  • type = 2 (function_call) rows record tool invocations from name and arguments.
  • type = 3 (function_call_output) rows emit tool output from output.
  • type = 6 (compaction) rows emit compaction summaries under the summary role.
  • type = 11 (terminal_command) rows emit shell commands and output.
  • Wiring: deja install omnigent writes the mcpServers.deja block into

~/.omnigent/mcp.json, installs the skill at

~/.omnigent/skills/deja-history/SKILL.md, and writes the /deja command to

~/.omnigent/commands/deja.md.

  • Auto-recall: deja install omnigent-auto adds lifecycle hooks (SessionStart,

UserPromptSubmit, PreToolUse, PostToolUse, PreCompact, SessionEnd) and

statusLine into ~/.omnigent/settings.json.

  • Resume: omnigent run --resume <id> in the conversation's recorded workspace.

deja reads this format and forty-six others, and turns what it finds into memory your agents can search. See the harness matrix for what is wired where, or install it and search your own history.
