Pinocchio can automatically save your conversation histories to persistent storage. This allows you to review past conversations and maintain a record of your interactions.

Configuration

Command Line

Set autosave options using the --autosave flag with key-value pairs:

pinocchio --autosave enabled:yes,path:/custom/path,template:{{.Time.Format "150405"}}-{{.ConversationID}}.json

Available options:

• enabled: "yes" or "no" (default: "no")
• path: Directory path string for save location (default: ~/.pinocchio/history)
• template: Custom template pattern for filename (default: {{.Year}}/{{.Month}}/{{.Day}}/{{.Time.Format "150405"}}-{{.ConversationID}}.json)

Configuration File

Add to ~/.pinocchio/config.yaml:

autosave:
  enabled: yes
  path: /custom/path/to/history  # optional
  template: custom-template      # optional

Path Templates

The save path supports Go template syntax with these variables:

• {{.Year}}: Year (YYYY)
• {{.Month}}: Month (MM)
• {{.Day}}: Day (DD)
• {{.Time}}: Conversation start time
• {{.ConversationID}}: Unique conversation identifier

Default Behavior

When enabled without a custom path:

• Creates ~/.pinocchio/history directory
• Organizes files by date: YYYY/MM/DD
• Names files with timestamp and conversation ID
• Saves as JSON format

File Structure

Each save file contains:

• Complete conversation history
• Message timestamps
• Conversation tree structure
• Unique conversation identifier

This allows for future browsing, searching, and analysis of conversation histories.
