half-clone
Installation
SKILL.md
Clone the later half of the current conversation, discarding earlier context to reduce token usage while preserving recent work.
Steps:
- Get the current session ID and project path:
tail -1 ~/.claude/history.jsonl | jq -r '[.sessionId, .project] | @tsv' - Find half-clone-conversation.sh with bash:
find ~/.claude -name "half-clone-conversation.sh" 2>/dev/null | sort -V | tail -1- This finds the script whether installed via plugin or manual symlink
- Uses version sort to prefer the latest version if multiple exist
- Preview the conversation to verify the session ID:
<script-path> --preview <session-id> <project-path>- Check that the first and last messages match the current conversation
- Run the clone:
<script-path> <session-id> <project-path>- Always pass the project path from the history entry, not the current working directory
- Tell the user they can access the half-cloned conversation with
claude -rand look for the one marked[HALF-CLONE <timestamp>](e.g.,[HALF-CLONE Jan 7 14:30]). The script automatically appends a reference to the original conversation at the end of the cloned file.
