sessions:search

sessions:search is a command for coding agents from iam-dev/cc-sessions. It costs 9 tokens per session (426 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for full-text searching saved agent sessions. It can search all sessions or limit results by project and date range.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search session memories for terms or phrases and review matching sessions, dates, projects, durations, and token counts.
Why use it?
It helps find earlier discussions and work without opening saved sessions one by one.

Command

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

npx agentmods add commands/iam-dev/cc-sessions/sessions-search
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/iam-dev/cc-sessions

Or install cc-sessions, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 6 skills, 8 commands, 4 hooks.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

sessions:search scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Search Sessions

Full-text search across all saved session memories.

Usage Examples

/sessions:search authentication
/sessions:search "bug fix" --project ./myapp
/sessions:search refactor --from "last month"

Instructions

When the user runs /sessions:search <query>, execute the search via CLI:

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/dist/cli.js" search "$ARGUMENTS"

Parse arguments from user input:

  • $1 - The search query (required)
  • --project - Limit search to specific project path
  • --from - Start date filter
  • --to - End date filter

Output Format

Search: "{query}"
Found {count} sessions:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 1. {summary}                                                    │
│    {date} - {duration} - {tokens} tokens - {project}            │
│    "...matched text with highlights..."                         │

Enter number to view details, or use /sessions:resume <id> to resume.

No Results Message

Search: "{query}"

No sessions found matching your search.

Suggestions:
- Try broader search terms
- Check spelling
- Remove date filters to search all time
- Use /sessions:list to browse all sessions

Search Tips

  • Search is case-insensitive
  • Partial word matches are supported
  • Multiple words are treated as AND (all must match)
  • Use quotes for exact phrases: "user authentication"
  • Search covers: summary, description, tasks, files, messages

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
