Idea: `llm logs conversations`

[simonw]

A command for listing just conversations - their IDs, titles, number of messages and start date.

Not sure how best to design this one.

I got to this:

@cli.command()
def conversations():
    "List conversations stored in the logs"
    db = sqlite_utils.Database(logs_db_path())
    migrate(db)
    for row in db["conversations"].rows_where(order_by="id"):
        click.echo(
            "{id} {model}\t{name}".format(
                id=row["id"], model=row["model"], name=' '.join((row["name"] or "").split())
            )
        )

I don't like it much though:

The design challenge here is how much information to display and how to display it.

I think I want:

• Conversation ID - required, needed to paste into llm logs --cid X to see the actual conversation.
• Model ID - but these can be pretty long. I could try and find the shortest alias instead?
• Model name - or some textual indication of what the conversation was about. Eventually these will be LLM generated and better - right now they are the first 20 or so characters of the initial prompt
• Conversation start date (and maybe most recent date? Gets even messier then though)
• How many messages there are in the conversation

Really not sure how best to lay those out in a concise terminal format though.

Docker might be good inspiration

In particular:

1. Shortening the id to a unique prefix or suffix for display
2. Truncated lon strings like the last message
3. Generating or using friendly names

I think shell_gpt's solution is pretty good. (It's the sole reason I still use sgpt.)

shell_gpt allows you to name your chats. It's very handy for retrieving them, and providing instant topical context when I have a new question. I have chats for databases, nix, parsing, etc.

If people are trying to resume a conversation, a name beats a cid hands down.

just came here to say the same thing - it'd be cool to be able to to name ones convos then continue them like

llm chat --continue thesis-assistant
