Run History CLI

Every recipe run is recorded automatically. Use recipe runs to see what happened, then feed a Run ID into recipe judge.

Quick Start

# List recent runs (last 20)
praisonai recipe runs

# Filter by recipe and status
praisonai recipe runs ai-url-blog-generator --status failed

# Judge a run using its Run ID
praisonai recipe judge run-abc123

Commands

runs

List recipe run history.

praisonai recipe runs [NAME] [OPTIONS]

Options:

Option	Description
`NAME` (positional, optional)	Recipe name to filter runs
`--status <status>`	Filter by status (e.g. `success`, `failed`, `policy_denied`, `timeout`, `missing_deps`, `dry_run`)
`--session, -s <id>`	Filter by session ID
`--limit <n>`	Maximum results (default: `20`)
`--json`	Output JSON format (`{"runs": [...], "count": N}`)

The table shows Recipe · Version · Status · When · Session · Run ID, with color-coded status (success green, failed red, policy_denied/timeout yellow). Examples:

# List all recent runs
praisonai recipe runs

# Filter by recipe
praisonai recipe runs ai-url-blog-generator

# Filter by recipe and status
praisonai recipe runs ai-url-blog-generator --status failed --limit 10

# Filter by session
praisonai recipe runs --session session-abc123

# JSON output
praisonai recipe runs --json

Copy a Run ID from the table and pass it to praisonai recipe judge <run-id> to evaluate that execution.

If the history module can’t be imported, the command prints Run history unavailable: <error> and exits with code 1.

runs stats

Get storage statistics.

praisonai recipe runs stats [--json]

Output:

Run History Stats:
  Total runs: 42
  Storage size: 1.5 MB
  Path: ~/.praison/runs

runs cleanup

Clean up old runs based on retention policy.

praisonai recipe runs cleanup [--json]

export

Export a run for replay or debugging.

praisonai recipe export <run_id> [options]

Options:

Option	Description
`-o, --output <path>`	Output file path
`--json`	Output JSON format

Examples:

# Export to default filename
praisonai recipe export run-abc123

# Export to specific file
praisonai recipe export run-abc123 -o my-export.json

replay

Replay a run from an export bundle.

praisonai recipe replay <bundle> [options]

Options:

Option	Description
`--compare`	Compare output with original
`--json`	Output JSON format

Examples:

# Simple replay
praisonai recipe replay export.json

# Replay with drift detection
praisonai recipe replay export.json --compare

Export Format

{
  "format": "praison-run-export",
  "version": "1.0",
  "exported_at": "2024-12-29T12:00:00Z",
  "run": {
    "run_id": "run-abc123",
    "recipe": "support-reply",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "status": "success",
    "input": {"ticket_id": "T-123"},
    "output": {"reply": "..."},
    "metrics": {"duration_sec": 2.5},
    "trace": {"session_id": "session-001"}
  }
}

Automatic History Persistence

Every praisonai recipe run (and every run_stream() execution) is recorded to history automatically. You don’t need --save for a run to appear in recipe runs.

Behavior	Detail
Default	Enabled
Env var	`PRAISONAI_RECIPE_HISTORY`
Disable	Set to `0`, `false`, `no`, or `off`
Failure mode	History write errors log a warning; the recipe run still succeeds
Terminal statuses recorded	`success`, `failed`, `missing_deps`, `policy_denied`, `dry_run`, `timeout`

History is independent of the recipe registry: runs for a deleted or unknown recipe are still listed. Disable persistence:

export PRAISONAI_RECIPE_HISTORY=false
praisonai recipe run my-recipe   # not recorded

Re-enable (default):

unset PRAISONAI_RECIPE_HISTORY
# or
export PRAISONAI_RECIPE_HISTORY=true

Storage Location

Run history is stored at ~/.praison/runs/.

~/.praison/runs/
├── index.json
└── run-abc123/
    ├── run.json      # Metadata
    ├── input.json    # Input data
    ├── output.json   # Output data
    └── events.jsonl  # Event stream

Data Policy

Runs respect the recipe’s data policy:

# In TEMPLATE.yaml
data_policy:
  retention_days: 30
  export_allowed: true
  pii:
    mode: redact

Python API

from praisonai.recipe.history import RunHistory, get_history

# Get default history
history = get_history()

# Store a run
from praisonai.recipe.models import RecipeResult, RecipeStatus

result = RecipeResult(
    run_id="run-abc123",
    recipe="my-recipe",
    version="1.0.0",
    status=RecipeStatus.SUCCESS,
    output={"result": "hello"},
)

history.store(result, input_data={"query": "test"})

# List runs
runs = history.list_runs(recipe="my-recipe", limit=10)

# Get specific run
run_data = history.get("run-abc123")

# Export
export_path = history.export("run-abc123")

# Stats
stats = history.get_stats()
print(f"Total runs: {stats['total_runs']}")

# Cleanup
deleted = history.cleanup(retention_days=30)
