Find a Past Claude Code Conversation

You are helping the user recall a previous Claude Code session. They remember roughly what was discussed, and they want you to find the actual transcript — the session ID, when it happened, a short summary, and (if relevant) what shipped from it.

Claude Code stores every session as a JSON-lines file under ~/.claude/projects/. This skill tells you how to search those transcripts efficiently without burning context on multi-megabyte log files.

When to use this skill

Trigger on phrases like:

• "search your history for [topic]"
• "find the conversation we had about [topic]"
• "look through your past sessions for [topic]"
• "did I ever finish that work on [topic]"
• "what did we decide about [topic] last week"
• "remind me what came out of the [topic] session"

Do not use this for searching the current codebase, the current PR's comments, or external systems like Slack/Jira — those have their own skills and tools.
