   The transcripts carry user and agent turns and tool calls with their
   arguments; each tool result is a size stub unless
   `ATIF_SQL_SESSION_TEXT_TOOL_RESULT_BODIES=true`.
+* **Narrate** — `narrate` writes a plain-language account of every session
+  (`analyze --narrate`; off by default). `atif_analytics.domain.narration`
+  splits a session into streams (the main chain, and one per subagent by
+  `agent_id`) and cuts each into windows at human turns, compactions,
+  subagent launches and returns, and a size cap; each window gets one
+  `session_narration` row (intent, actions, outcome, first and last step
+  uuid, model id, prompt digest), each subagent one `subagent_stories` row
+  with a digest shown to the window where its work ends (a queued task
+  notification in `session_events` counts as the return), and each session
+  one `session_stories` row. A call carries the previous window's narration and
+  its last raw steps, and sees tool arguments at 1,200 characters and the
+  opening of each tool result (its own bounds; the other pipelines are
+  unchanged); a result the harness saved to a file is marked and read from

+  stream from its last narrated step.
 * **Authorship** — `atif_analytics.domain.authorship` decides who wrote a
   user step (`human`, `stop_hook`, `task_notification`, `harness`,
   `audit_prompt`). It's a twin of `atif_duck.domain.authorship`, pinned by

+You narrate one window of a session between a user and an AI coding agent
+(Claude Code, Codex CLI, or a similar agent). A window is a stretch of the
+session's steps. Two readers use your narration: a person debugging the run,
+and a reviewer that reads the narration first and opens the raw steps only
+where it needs to.
+
+Return three fields in plain sentences: intent (what the agent was trying to
+do in this window, and who asked for it), actions (the main things it did,
+in order), and outcome (where things stood when the window ended).
+</instructions>
+
+<context>
+What to put in:
+
+- Name the files, commands, tools and errors that mattered, the way the
+  transcript spells them, so a reader can search the raw steps for them.
+- Say when the agent changed approach, and what made it change.
+- Say when the human corrected, redirected or interrupted the agent, and
+  what the human asked for instead.
+- Say when the agent launched a subagent and what came back from it. The
+  subagent's own steps aren't in this transcript. When a <subagents>
+  section describes it, use that to say in a sentence what the subagent was
+  asked, what it did and what it returned.
+- A tool result shows the opening of what the call returned, and a failed
+  one ([failed]) its ending too. Say whether a step worked when the result
+  shows it. When a result is cut off or shows only its size, don't guess
+  what the rest held.
+- When the request says the transcript is a subagent's own steps, narrate
+  the subagent's work. Its [parent_agent ...] lines are the instructions the
+  launching agent gave it; no human is in it. In its last window the request
+  says whether the launching agent received its report. When it did, say
+  the subagent reported back and what it handed over; don't say no handoff
+  is shown.
+- When the window ends mid-task, say what was still running or undecided.
+- The request says what closed the window. Unless it says this is the last
+  window, more steps follow: say the window ended there, and never that the
+  session or the transcript ended.
+</context>
+
+<calibration>
+- intent and outcome take up to three sentences each, and actions three to
+  six when the window holds that much. Use the room for what a reader would
+  otherwise have to open the raw steps to learn: which command, which file,
+  which error, what the result said. A window with one short exchange still
+  gets one short sentence per field. Never pad.
+- Write past tense and plain words. No lists, headings or quotation of long
+  passages.
+- Prefer one concrete name to a general phrase: "ran `mise run check`, which
+  failed in `test_lake.py`" tells the reader more than "ran the checks".

+<example>
+<input>The first window. The user asks the agent to find why the nightly
+export job writes an empty file. The agent reads scripts/export.sh and
+jobs/export.py, runs the job with --dry-run, and sees
+"KeyError: 'region'" from load_config. It reads config/defaults.toml and
+finds no region key. The window ends there.</input>
+<output>{"intent": "The user asked the agent to find out why the nightly export job writes an empty file.",
+"actions": "The agent read scripts/export.sh and jobs/export.py, then ran the job with --dry-run, which failed with KeyError: 'region' in load_config. It opened config/defaults.toml and found no region key there.",
+"outcome": "The agent had traced the empty file to a missing region key in config/defaults.toml and had not changed anything yet."}</output>
+</example>
+<example>
+<input>A later window. The previous narration says the agent had started
+rewriting the retry loop in client.py. In this window the user writes "stop,
+don't rewrite it, just raise the timeout". The agent reverts client.py with
+git checkout, sets TIMEOUT_S = 60 in settings.py, runs pytest tests/client,
+and reports 14 passed. A [stop_hook ...] line then asks for evidence, and
+the agent pastes the pytest summary.</input>
+<output>{"intent": "The human stopped the retry-loop rewrite and asked for a longer timeout instead, and the agent switched to that.",
+"actions": "The agent reverted client.py with git checkout and set TIMEOUT_S = 60 in settings.py. It ran pytest tests/client, which reported 14 passed. A stop hook then asked for evidence, and the agent answered with the pytest summary.",
+"outcome": "The timeout change was in place with the client tests passing, and the retry-loop rewrite was dropped."}</output>
+</example>
+<example>
+<input>A window of a scheduled job with no human in it. The agent launches
+two subagents with the Agent tool to research vendor pricing pages, waits,
+and receives a [task_notification ...] for each. It writes report.md from
+what they returned and posts a link with a messaging tool, which answers
+with an error about a missing channel id.</input>
+<output>{"intent": "Following the job's prompt, the agent set out to gather vendor pricing and publish a report.",
+"actions": "The agent launched two subagents with the Agent tool to research vendor pricing pages and waited for both task notifications. It wrote report.md from what they returned, then tried to post a link with a messaging tool, which failed with an error about a missing channel id.",

+
+<anti_patterns>
+- Don't judge whether the work was correct, complete or a good idea. A
+  separate review reads your narration to decide that. Report a claim the
+  agent made as a claim: "the agent reported the tests passing".
+- Don't treat hook or harness text as the user. A [stop_hook ...] block is a
+  reviewer hook, not the human changing their mind.
+- Don't narrate the earlier window again. The previous narration and the
+  previous steps are there so you know what the agent was in the middle of.
