Wave for Agents · CLI

The Wave command-line tool

A scriptable surface for your Wave recordings. List sessions, fetch transcripts, run semantic search, and pipe outputs into anything else your shell can do — grep, jq, your editor, your agent, your favorite local LLM.

Same data as the APIThe CLI is a thin wrapper around the Wave API. Anything the API can do, the CLI exposes as a subcommand.
Token-based authLog in once with a wave_api_ token. The CLI stores it locally and uses it for every subsequent command.
JSON-out for pipelinesEvery command emits JSON when you ask for it. Pipe into jq, fzf, your shell scripts, or another tool.

Typical commands

# Log in once with a Wave API token
wave auth login

# List your recent recordings
wave sessions list --limit 10

# Fetch a transcript by ID
wave sessions get SESSION_ID --include transcript

# Semantic search across your recordings
wave search "decisions about pricing" --json | jq .results

# Pipe a transcript into another tool
wave sessions get SESSION_ID --include transcript --format text | grep -i action
