| 1 | +# Warp Terminal SQLite Schema Guide |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Reference for the Warp terminal's local SQLite database structure, focused on AI Agent Mode data. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Database Location |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +``` |
| 8 | +~/Library/Group Containers/2BBY89MBSN.dev.warp/Library/Application Support/dev.warp.Warp-Stable/warp.sqlite |
| 9 | +``` |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +**Note**: Database uses WAL mode. For consistent reads, copy all three files: |
| 12 | +- `warp.sqlite` |
| 13 | +- `warp.sqlite-shm` |
| 14 | +- `warp.sqlite-wal` |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +## Key Tables for AI Conversations |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +### ai_queries |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +Stores user queries sent to AI. One row per exchange (turn). |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +| Column | Type | Description | |
| 23 | +|--------|------|-------------| |
| 24 | +| `id` | INTEGER | Primary key | |
| 25 | +| `exchange_id` | TEXT | Unique ID for this exchange | |
| 26 | +| `conversation_id` | TEXT | Groups exchanges into conversations | |
| 27 | +| `start_ts` | DATETIME | Timestamp of query | |
| 28 | +| `input` | TEXT | JSON array with Query object | |
| 29 | +| `working_directory` | TEXT | Project path (for filtering) | |
| 30 | +| `output_status` | TEXT | "Completed", etc. | |
| 31 | +| `model_id` | TEXT | Model used (see Model IDs below) | |
| 32 | +| `planning_model_id` | TEXT | Planning model if different | |
| 33 | +| `coding_model_id` | TEXT | Coding model if different | |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +**Input JSON Structure**: |
| 36 | +```json |
| 37 | +[{ |
| 38 | + "Query": { |
| 39 | + "text": "user's question here", |
| 40 | + "context": [ |
| 41 | + {"Directory": {"pwd": "/path/to/project", "home_dir": "..."}}, |
| 42 | + {"Git": {"head": "main"}}, |
| 43 | + {"ProjectRules": {"root_path": "...", "active_rules": [...]}}, |
| 44 | + {"CurrentTime": {"current_time": "2025-12-27T10:12:11-08:00"}}, |
| 45 | + {"ExecutionEnvironment": {"os": {"category": "MacOS"}, "shell_name": "zsh"}}, |
| 46 | + {"Codebase": {"path": "/path", "name": "project-name"}} |
| 47 | + ], |
| 48 | + "referenced_attachments": {} |
| 49 | + } |
| 50 | +}] |
| 51 | +``` |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +**Note**: Only the first exchange in a conversation has the full Query. Subsequent exchanges have empty `[]` input. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +### agent_conversations |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +Stores usage metadata per conversation. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +| Column | Type | Description | |
| 60 | +|--------|------|-------------| |
| 61 | +| `id` | INTEGER | Primary key | |
| 62 | +| `conversation_id` | TEXT | Links to ai_queries | |

| 96 | +``` |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +### agent_tasks |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +Stores task lists created by AI agent. **Protobuf encoded**. |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +| Column | Type | Description | |
| 103 | +|--------|------|-------------| |
| 104 | +| `id` | INTEGER | Primary key | |
| 105 | +| `conversation_id` | TEXT | Links to conversation | |
| 106 | +| `task_id` | TEXT | Unique task ID | |
| 107 | +| `task` | BLOB | Protobuf-encoded task data | |
| 108 | +| `last_modified_at` | TIMESTAMP | Auto-updated | |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +**Protobuf Schema** (reverse-engineered from hex dump): |
| 111 | +``` |
| 112 | +Field 1 (0x0a): task_id (string, UUID) |
| 113 | +Field 2 (0x12): title (string) |
| 114 | +Field 5 (0x2a): subtasks (repeated message) |
| 115 | + - Contains nested task_id, title |
| 116 | +Field 13 (0x6a): parent_task_id (string, UUID) |
| 117 | +Field 14 (0x72): timestamps |
| 118 | +``` |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +### blocks |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +Terminal command blocks. Links to AI via `ai_metadata`. |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +| Column | Type | Description | |
| 125 | +|--------|------|-------------| |
| 126 | +| `id` | INTEGER | Primary key | |
| 127 | +| `pane_leaf_uuid` | BLOB | Terminal pane reference | |
| 128 | +| `stylized_command` | BLOB | ANSI-encoded command text | |

| 135 | + |
| 136 | +**ai_metadata JSON Structure**: |
| 137 | +```json |
| 138 | +{ |
| 139 | + "action_id": "toolu_01SGHZqqhZ82QCPEjYaRYK1C", |
| 140 | + "conversation_id": "e05f25f4-4e57-411a-b126-f4c9ebca6781", |
| 141 | + "conversation_phase": { |
| 142 | + "interactive": {"must_not_suggest_create_plan": true} |
| 143 | + }, |
| 144 | + "long_running_control_state": null, |
| 145 | + "has_agent_written_to_block": false |
| 146 | +} |
| 147 | +``` |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +**ANSI Stripping**: `stylized_command` and `stylized_output` contain ANSI escape codes (e.g., `[1m`, `[0m`). Strip with regex: `\x1b\[[0-9;]*m` |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +## Model IDs |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +| Warp Model ID | Display Name | |
| 154 | +|---------------|--------------| |
| 155 | +| `claude-4-5-opus` | Claude Opus 4.5 | |
| 156 | +| `claude-4-5-opus-thinking` | Claude Opus 4.5 (Thinking) | |
| 157 | +| `gpt-5-1-high-reasoning` | GPT-5 | |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +## Critical Limitation |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +**Warp does NOT store AI assistant text responses locally.** |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | +Only available: |
| 164 | +- User queries (ai_queries.input) |
| 165 | +- Tool executions (blocks with ai_metadata) |
| 166 | +- Usage statistics (agent_conversations) |
| 167 | + |
| 168 | +Not stored locally: |
| 169 | +- AI reasoning/response text |
| 170 | +- Thinking content |
| 171 | +- Full conversation transcript |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | +## Useful Queries |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | +### List conversations by project |
| 176 | +```sql |
| 177 | +SELECT DISTINCT conversation_id, working_directory, model_id, |
| 178 | + MIN(start_ts) as first_msg, MAX(start_ts) as last_msg, |
| 179 | + COUNT(*) as exchange_count |
| 180 | +FROM ai_queries |
| 181 | +WHERE working_directory LIKE '/path/to/project%' |
| 182 | +GROUP BY conversation_id |
| 183 | +ORDER BY last_msg DESC; |
| 184 | +``` |
| 185 | + |
| 186 | +### Get blocks for a conversation |
| 187 | +```sql |
| 188 | +SELECT id, stylized_command, stylized_output, exit_code, ai_metadata |
| 189 | +FROM blocks |
| 190 | +WHERE ai_metadata LIKE '%"conversation_id":"<uuid>"%' |
| 191 | +ORDER BY start_ts; |
| 192 | +``` |
| 193 | + |
| 194 | +### Get usage for a conversation |
| 195 | +```sql |
| 196 | +SELECT conversation_data |
| 197 | +FROM agent_conversations |
| 198 | +WHERE conversation_id = '<uuid>'; |
| 199 | +``` |
| 200 | + |
| 201 | +## Other Notable Tables |
| 202 | + |
| 203 | +| Table | Purpose | |
| 204 | +|-------|---------| |
| 205 | +| `terminal_panes` | Terminal session state, `conversation_ids` field | |
| 206 | +| `commands` | Command history (not AI-specific) | |
| 207 | +| `projects` | Known project paths | |
| 208 | +| `workspace_metadata` | Workspace navigation history | |
| 209 | +| `mcp_server_installations` | MCP server configs | |
| 210 | + |
