Your Agent Work Is Already a Dataset

Agent-session telemetry can precisely track costs, models, users, and directories but often cannot explain the organizational intent behind the work, making it difficult to connect AI spending to architecture decisions, migrations, or expected outcomes. An analysis of 1,731 sessions and $17,816 in monthly spend found that a prior architecture decision had generated at least $4,728.15 in downstream work, but reconstructing that connection through keywords, identities, dates, and even near-perfect content matching was incomplete and labor-intensive. Keyword searches recovered only part of the relevant cost or introduced false matches, while identity and time-based methods failed as work spread across people, repositories, and months; content-based inference performed better but still depended on organizational knowledge unavailable in session traces. The proposed solution is to attach explicit intent labels, such as decision:cassettes, migration:*, incident:*, or customer:*, to sessions while their purpose is known, creating a durable record that can later link decisions to costs, repositories, rework, outcomes, and reusable skills. Over time, these labels can turn session histories into an index of why work occurred, allowing teams to compare approved plans with actual implementation and use the gap to inform future decisions.
