SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers recover context and next steps from interrupted or overflowing Claude Code sessions by reading and synthesizing per-project session logs so work can be resumed quickly and reliably.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Session discovery and search: find sessions by recent activity or by matching user messages across per-project JSONL logs.
  • Summarization and recovery: extract the initial task, assistant narrative, tool calls, overflow detection, and a concise synthesis of accomplishments, where it stopped, and pending work.
  • Worktree awareness and safeguards: detects git worktrees, scopes searches to an explicit workspace when requested, and emphasizes verification steps before claiming repository state.
  • Use case: recover the last unfinished coding session after a context overflow to continue the task without re-running prior steps.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to find and summarize the latest Claude Code session for the current project and recommend the next actionable step.

What is the best way to search previous Claude Code session history by user messages?▼

The best way to search Claude Code session history by user messages is by scanning per-project JSONL session directories. This matches your search queries against logged records to find relevant past interactions and list recent sessions.

Can I summarize Claude Code JSONL logs to find pending tasks from a previous coding session?▼

Yes, you can summarize Claude Code JSONL logs to find pending tasks. The process extracts the initial task, tracks the assistant narrative, counts tool calls, and synthesizes findings to highlight accomplishments and unfinished work without exposing raw session dumps.

Does recovering session history work with git worktrees?▼

Recovering Claude Code session history works with git worktrees by detecting the worktree environment. It scopes searches to an explicit workspace when requested and emphasizes verification steps before claiming repository state.

What information is extracted from Claude Code session logs during recovery?▼

During Claude Code session recovery, the skill parses JSONL records to extract the initial task, assistant narrative elements, tool call counts, and overflow detection. It synthesizes these findings to provide a concise summary without exposing raw session dumps.
