find-session is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from theshadow27/mcp-cli. It costs 49 tokens per session (1,885 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for searching saved Claude Code conversation histories by keyword or by recency. Claude Code is a coding assistant that stores session records.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to locate discussions by phrases, branch names, ticket IDs, file paths, or recent-session timing, then summarize likely matches.
Why use it?
It helps find an earlier conversation when you do not remember which session contained the relevant work.

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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/extract-messages.ts, scripts/recent-sessions.ts, scripts/search-sessions.ts), 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.

Find Session Skill

Search through Claude Code session history files (JSONL) to find past conversations by keyword OR by recency, then summarize and rank matches for easy resumption.

When to Use

Trigger when the user:

  • Wants to find a past conversation ("find the session where we discussed X")
  • Can't remember which window had a specific discussion
  • Wants to resume work from a previous session
  • Wants to see their most recent sessions ("what were my last N sessions", "what was I working on yesterday")
  • Says /find-session

Two Search Modes

Pick based on whether the user has a topic in mind or just wants a chronological list.

Step 1: Extract Keywords

From the user's request, identify keywords and/or literal phrases:

  • Quoted phrases ("feature/PROJ-123") — matched as exact substrings (case-insensitive). Use for branch names, ticket IDs with prefixes, error messages, file paths, or any string where the exact form matters.
  • Unquoted words — tokenized and matched via BM25. Use for general concepts, function names, topics.
  • Cast a wider net — the search matches ANY keyword/phrase, so more terms = better ranking (sessions matching more score higher)

Tell the user what keywords you're searching for.

Step 2: Run the Search

.claude/skills/find-session/scripts/search-sessions.ts [keyword] ["literal phrase"] ... [--max 10]

Examples:

# Tokenized keywords (matches "auth", "middleware" independently)
.claude/skills/find-session/scripts/search-sessions.ts auth middleware refactor

# Literal phrase (matches exact substring "feature/fix-auth-middleware")
.claude/skills/find-session/scripts/search-sessions.ts '"feature/fix-auth-middleware"'

# Mixed: literal phrase + tokenized keywords
.claude/skills/find-session/scripts/search-sessions.ts '"PROJ-123"' branch deploy

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.
