FAQPage Schema
How do I load a previous Claude Code conversation by UUID?▼

Load a conversation by running the loader script with its UUID: cd <skill-base-directory>/scripts && ./load-conversation.sh "<conversation-uuid>". The script locates the conversation file under ~/.claude/projects, parses the JSONL transcript, and outputs the full dialogue, metadata, and accessed files.

What information is restored when I load a past conversation?▼

Loading a conversation restores the complete transcript with all user and assistant messages, header metadata (conversation ID, project, date, message count), and a list of files read or edited during that session.

Can I load a conversation to continue work from a previous session?▼

Yes. Load a past conversation transcript into your current context to reference prior dialogue and files without re-asking for information, enabling you to continue or inform new decisions based on prior work.

What happens if the conversation UUID doesn't exist?▼

The loader script includes explicit handling for missing conversation files and returns an error message indicating the UUID was not found under ~/.claude/projects.

Do I need to know the exact conversation UUID to load it?▼

Yes, you must provide the exact UUID of the conversation you want to load. The UUID uniquely identifies the conversation file stored in your Claude Code projects directory.
