lcm-import is a command for Claude Code from lossless-claude/lcm. It costs 13 tokens per session (460 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that copies Claude Code session records into lcm, a tool for keeping conversation history available as project memory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to import the current project's sessions, all projects, or selected import modes. You can preview the work first or rebuild memory from the beginning.
Why use it?
It restores sessions that lcm has not yet saved, so important context is less likely to be missing.

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

lcm-import 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 8d 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

/lcm-import

Import Claude Code session transcripts into lcm memory.

Instructions

Run the following command via Bash:

lcm import

If lcm is not on PATH (marketplace install), use the plugin-relative binary instead:

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lcm.mjs" import

Options

If the user specifies options, append them to the command:

  • --all — Import all projects instead of just the current project
  • --verbose — Show per-session details
  • --dry-run — Preview without writing
  • --replay — Re-import all sessions in chronological order and compact each one immediately, threading context between sessions to build a temporal summary DAG. Use to rebuild memory from scratch.

For example:

  • /lcm-import --alllcm import --all
  • /lcm-import --all --verboselcm import --all --verbose
  • /lcm-import --dry-runlcm import --dry-run
  • /lcm-import --replaylcm import --replay

Display the output verbatim.

After importing, suggest running lcm compact to summarize the imported sessions (or lcm compact --all if --all was used with import). Note: when --replay is used, compaction is performed inline — no separate compact step is needed.

When to use

  • After installing lcm for the first time (backfill existing sessions)
  • After a session that failed to ingest (hook error, daemon down)
  • To recover lost conversations
  • After upgrading lcm (ensure all sessions are captured)

Commands

  • lcm import — import current project's sessions
  • lcm import --all — import all projects
  • lcm import --verbose — show per-session details
  • lcm import --dry-run — preview without writing
  • lcm compact --all — summarize all uncompacted sessions (run after import)

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.
