Diagnose and safely repair Codex Desktop projects that exist but show “No chats/没有聊天”, while conversations may still appear under Recent. Use when users report missing project histories, lost thread-to-project mappings, model-provider changes, archived or invisible threads, moved cwd paths, incomplete ~/.codex restores, state_5.sqlite integrity or index problems, or need comparison against codex_threads_snapshot.csv or a ~/.codex backup.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Recover Codex project chats - **Version**: 1.0.1 - **License**: MIT - **Author**: Evan Song · [github.com/Songhonglei](https://github.com/Songhonglei) - **Repository**: https://github.com/Songhonglei/better-agent-skills/tree/main/skills/recover-codex-project-chats Restore project visibility without overwriting the only copy of a conversation. ## Workflow 1. Run `scripts/codex_project_recovery.sh diagnose [csv-path]` while Codex may remain open. Save the output. 2. Read `references/incident-patterns.md` and classify the evidence before changing data. 3. Back up current `~/.codex`, the supplied backup, and Codex-related Application Support directories. Exclude only live Unix sockets. 4. Before any mutation, require Codex Desktop to be fully stopped. Confirm the app-server, renderer, and service processes are absent. 5. Run SQLite `PRAGMA integrity_check` on copies first. Inspect `.schema`; never invent columns. 6. Apply only the matching repair: - Provider mismatch: run `scripts/codex_project_recovery.sh repair-provider <old-provider> <current-provider>` after explaining the evidence. Repair only when both names refer to the same compatible backend. …

How to install
mdr add songhonglei/better-agent-skills/recover-codex-project-chats@sha256:6c9339d2b651bfbfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260806.6eddb52, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
