find-session

find-session is a skill for Claude Code from LiozShor/claude-code-skills. It costs 36 tokens per session (1,782 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A search tool for past Claude Code conversations stored in local session logs. Claude Code is a coding assistant that keeps records of previous work sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find a session by topic, error message, file, feature, issue number, or discussion between agents, then get instructions for resuming it.
Why use it?
It helps recover a useful conversation after a session was closed or forgotten, without searching through every log manually.

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

find-session 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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Find Session

Search Claude Code's local session logs (~/.claude/projects/**/*.jsonl) for a past conversation matching the user's description, and return resume instructions (or, when the user really wants an artifact the session produced, hand them that file directly).

When this triggers

  • "I closed / accidentally quit my session, help me find it."
  • "Which session did we discuss / fix / build X in?"
  • "Find the session where we worked on DL-142 / the upload bug / the nav redesign."
  • "Where did the two project agents talk to each other?" (cross-project conversations count).
  • Any request to locate a past Claude Code conversation by topic, error text, file, or feature so it can be resumed or referenced.

When this does not trigger

  • The user wants the contents of a file a session wrote, and the session itself is irrelevant → just Read the file; don't hunt sessions.
  • The user wants git history, commits, or PRs → use git log, not session logs.
  • The user is asking about the current live session or its context → that's not a search.
  • The user wants to resume a specific known session id → they can claude --resume <id> directly; only help translate the worktree path.

Required inputs

  • A search hint: a distinctive phrase, error message, feature name, DL number, file path, or topic. Shorter and more distinctive beats vague ("preview load failed", "DL-142 react port", an agent or feature name > "that bug we fixed").
  • If no hint is given, ask for one before searching. If the user only has a rough time ("this morning", "just now"), that alone is enough to rank by mtime — proceed.

Where sessions live

  • One project dir per cwd under ~/.claude/projects/, named by the slugified path (/ → -).
  • Worktrees are separate project dirs — a freshly-closed session often lives in a ...-worktrees-...-claude-<repo>-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS dir, NOT the main repo dir. Always include them.
  • Cross-project topics span sibling dirs. A conversation between two agents/projects has two session files in two different project dirs — search siblings and expect both ends to be relevant.
  • Each .jsonl file is one session. Filename (minus extension) is the session id. File mtime ≈ last active time.

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.
