Get Session ID Skill

Purpose: The session ID is automatically available in skills and commands via ${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID}.

How It Works:

• Claude Code substitutes ${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID} with the actual session ID when loading skills
• No manual extraction or lookup required
• The session ID is also visible in context via SessionStart hooks for user reference

When to Use This Skill:

• Reference this documentation to understand how session IDs work
• The session ID is already available - just use ${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID} in skill/command templates
