SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Developers often lose track of what was tried, investigated, or decided in previous coding agent sessions. This Skill lets you query your session history in natural language to recover that context. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Session History Search: Ask questions about what you worked on, what was tried before, or how a problem was investigated across sessions. - Context-Aware Dispatch: Automatically resolves the current repo name and git branch and passes them to the session historian agent. - Interactive Prompting: When no question is provided, it asks what you want to know using the platform's blocking question tool. - Use Case: You return to a bug you investigated last week and ask what approaches were already attempted, so you avoid repeating failed fixes. ## Quick Start Ask the agent what was tried in previous sessions to fix the current bug using the ce-sessions command.

Frequently Asked Questions about ce-sessions

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search my coding agent session history?▼

Run the ce-sessions command with a question or topic, such as what was tried before for a specific bug. The skill dispatches a session historian agent that searches your past sessions and returns an answer.

What happens if I run ce-sessions without a question?▼

The skill asks what you want to know using the platform's blocking question tool, such as AskUserQuestion in Claude Code or request_user_input in Codex. It only falls back to plain text when no blocking tool exists.

Does ce-sessions work across different AI coding platforms?▼

Yes, it supports Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and Pi by using each platform's native blocking question tool. The dispatch logic adapts to whichever harness is running the skill.

Why does ce-sessions need my repo name and git branch?▼

The repo name and branch give the session historian agent context to scope the search to relevant sessions. They are pre-resolved via git commands and only passed if they resolve to plain values.

Can ce-sessions find sessions even if I don't say the word sessions?▼

Yes, the skill triggers whenever you reference prior sessions, previous attempts, or past investigations, even without explicitly mentioning sessions. It is designed to catch implicit references to earlier work.
