sessions

Sessions Command

Manage Claude Code session history - list, load, alias, and edit sessions stored in ~/.claude/session-data/ with legacy reads from ~/.claude/sessions/.

Usage

/sessions [list|load|alias|info|help] [options]

Actions

List Sessions

Display all sessions with metadata, filtering, and pagination.

Use /sessions info when you need operator-surface context for a swarm: branch, worktree path, and session recency.

/sessions                              # List all sessions (default)
/sessions list                         # Same as above
/sessions list --limit 10              # Show 10 sessions
/sessions list --date 2026-02-01       # Filter by date
/sessions list --search abc            # Search by session ID
