sessions

sessions is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Jewgah/claude-code-skills. It costs 61 tokens per session (632 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for listing recent Claude Code conversations across projects, including their project, session ID, description, and resume command.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to recall a previous coding session, see recent sessions grouped by project, or get the exact command needed to resume one.
Why use it?
It makes older sessions easier to find after a reboot or when several conversations were running in parallel. Project and date filters help narrow the list.

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 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (list_sessions.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 42 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

List recent Claude Code sessions

When invoked, run the helper script and pass its output through.

Step 1 — pick the mode from the skill argument

Argument Command View
(none) or recent python3 ~/.claude/skills/sessions/list_sessions.py default — one flat list, newest first, across all projects
project (or "grouped", "by project") python3 ~/.claude/skills/sessions/list_sessions.py --grouped grouped per project, so parallel sessions are visible

Other arguments (use only if the user asks):

  • --days 30 — widen the window to 30 days (default 7)
  • --all — show everything ever recorded
  • --project <substring>filter by project name, case-insensitive (e.g. --project myapp). Unrelated to the project grouping mode above; combines with both views.

Step 2 — present the output

Default mode prints one flat chronological list — [timestamp] project session-id + the first prompt — with the resume hint once at the bottom.

--grouped mode prints: project header → cd line → one block per session with timestamp, session UUID, first user prompt, and the exact claude --resume <id> command.

After running it:

  • Pass through the output as-is — do not re-summarise every session, the user wants the raw list.
  • If the user names a specific topic or project, point out the matching session(s) at the top.
  • If there are many sessions for one project, note it ("3 parallel sessions for X today") so the user knows multiple threads exist.
  • If the user is about to reboot, remind them: claude --resume <session-id> restores full context; claude --resume alone opens an interactive picker scoped to the current working directory, so they must cd into the project first if they use the picker form.

Notes on the data

  • Sessions live in ~/.claude/projects/<encoded-cwd>/<session-uuid>.jsonl.
  • One .jsonl = one session. Multiple files in the same project dir = parallel sessions.
  • The script extracts the first real user prompt as the "description" — it skips system/caveat blocks.
  • Image-only prompts show as [Image #1]; that's expected, not a bug.
  • The encoded directory name (-Users-you-projects-myapp) isn't always the same as the real cwd; the script reads the cwd field from inside the JSONL for accuracy.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

sessions is a skill published in the GitHub repository Jewgah/claude-code-skills (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 632 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
