# Word Frequency Analysis of ~/.codex/sessions

This prompt performs an intent-based word frequency analysis of conversation content in ~/.codex/sessions, focusing on **what you're trying to communicate** rather than individual words.

---

## Instructions

Execute the following steps and provide **only the summary tables** with grouped intents.

## Step 1: Extract Conversations

```bash
find ~/.codex/sessions -type f -name "*.jsonl" -exec cat {} \; 2>/dev/null | \
  jq -r 'select(.type == "response_item") |
    select(.payload.role == "user" or .payload.role == "assistant") |
    .payload.content[]? |
    select(.type == "input_text" or .type == "text") |
    .text' 2>/dev/null > /tmp/full_conversations.txt
```

## Step 2: Clean Conversations

```bash
grep -v "<user_instructions>" /tmp/full_conversations.txt | \
grep -v "<environment_context>" | \
grep -v "Generated by Ruler" | \
grep -v "^<!--" | \
grep -v "^\s*\*\s" | \
grep -v "^#\+" | \
grep -v "^\s*$" > /tmp/clean_conv.txt
```

## Step 3: Generate Word Frequency

```bash
cat /tmp/clean_conv.txt | \
tr -cs 'A-Za-z0-9\n' ' ' | \
tr 'A-Z' 'a-z' | \
tr -s ' ' '\n' | \
sort | uniq -c | sort -rn > /tmp/raw_words.txt
```

## Step 4: Filter System Noise

Remove these patterns:

**System Metadata**: tokens, input, output, window, credits, policy, limits, cached, usage, resets, timestamp, payload, event, msg
**Tech Stack**: react, node, rust, go, ts, js, tauri, popover, ui, api, server, modules, types, frontend, backend, cli
**Tooling**: tmux, shell, git, grep, find, cat, sed, awk, curl, wget, npm, pnpm, yarn, bun, cargo, docker
**File Operations**: file, files, src, path, paths, dir, dirs, repo, repos, root, folder, cwd
**Agent/System**: codex, skill, skills, agent, user, users, context, instructions, rules, model, provider, claude, gpt
**Stopwords**: the, and, a, or, to, for, in, with, if, that, it, of, is, you, not, no, when, from, at, on, be, as, so, any, all, we, can, do, are, this, them

## Intent Grouping Guidelines

When analyzing the remaining words, **group related words by intent** and sum their counts. Examples:

**Quality Standards** → clean (6482) + solid (3576) + proper (1319) + correct (2493) + stable (1058) = **15,928**
- Intent name: "Demand Quality"
- Meaning: "Require high-quality, proper implementations"

**Technical Debt** → tech debt (4482) + technical debt (59) + legacy (3204) + refactor (2940) = **10,685**
- Intent name: "Manage Technical Debt"
- Meaning: "Actively managing and reducing debt"

**Production Ready** → production (1894) + ready (2215) = **4,109**
- Intent name: "Production Focus"
- Meaning: "Focus on deployable, production-grade solutions"

## Intent Grouping Rules

1. **Sum counts** for all words in the intent group
2. **Name the intent** based on what the words communicate (e.g., "Demand Quality" not "Quality Words")
3. **Write meaning** as a first-person quote: what this says about your communication style
4. **Count column**: Only the total number (e.g., 29,254)
5. **Sort by total count** descending
6. **Max 8 rows per table**
7. **Only create groups with total count > 500** (ignore smaller patterns)

---

## Formatting Requirements

- **Only output the 10 tables above**
- No explanations between tables
- Use markdown table format
- Include emoji icons in table headers
- Sort all tables by Count column (descending)
- Maximum 8 rows per table
- Count column: clean number only (no formula, no breakdown)
- Meaning column: quoted statement
- No horizontal rules between tables
- Compact output only
