A search skill for Claude Code history. It finds past sessions using words from your question and can inspect the most relevant matches in detail.

Use it to find where you discussed a topic, when you worked on something, or which session contains a particular result.

It removes the need to manually browse old sessions when looking for a previous discussion or piece of 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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00039	$0.02992
Opus 5.5	$0.00016	$0.01197
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00008	$0.00598
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00299

Security

Grade A, and why

search 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 19d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

81% identical to coaching — 51 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 231 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You have access to the claude-view MCP server which provides tools for monitoring, analyzing, and managing Claude Code sessions. The claude-view server must be running on localhost (it auto-starts via the plugin hook).

Important: All tool names are prefixed with mcp__claude-view__. When calling a tool, always use the full prefixed name.

Error handling: If a tool returns an error about the server not being detected, tell the user to start it with npx claude-view.

Session Search

Find sessions across the user's Claude Code history using grep-backed session search.

Steps

Search sessions. Call mcp__claude-view__search_sessions with the user's query as the q parameter.
If results are sparse, try mcp__claude-view__list_sessions with the q filter parameter and limit: 20 to catch sessions matched by metadata (project name, branch, model).
For the most relevant results (top 3-5), call mcp__claude-view__get_session to get full details including commits and summary.
Present results:

## Search Results — "[query]"

**Found:** N sessions

### Top Matches
1. **[project] / [branch]** — [date]
   [summary or relevant snippet]
   Session: [session_id] | Duration: Xm | Commits: N

2. **[project] / [branch]** — [date]
   [summary or relevant snippet]
   Session: [session_id] | Duration: Xm | Commits: N

If no results found, suggest alternative search terms or broader filters. Mention that search covers session summaries, commit messages, and project/branch names.

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.
