This Skill enables you to locate and recall relevant work across all Claude sessions by indexing previous results, decisions, and context into a cross-session memory store.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • 3-layer workflow: search, timeline for context, and fetch full details.
  • Reconstruct histories of decisions and outcomes across sessions.
  • Use cases include finding what happened last time, verifying decisions, and retrieving related prompts or notes.

Quick Start

Ask Claude to search past sessions for a topic and return matching memories.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search past Claude sessions to find previous decisions and context?

You can search past Claude sessions by querying a specific topic to locate indexed prior work, decisions, and context, then use a timeline view and fetch full details to reconstruct the history of outcomes.

Can I retrieve memory details from earlier sessions across multiple topics?

Yes, retrieving memory details from earlier sessions is done by applying search filters to locate matching observations, using a timeline to contextualize the results, and fetching the full history of the selected session.

What is the best way to recall what happened in a previous Claude session?

The best way to recall what happened previously is to use a three-layer workflow: search the cross-session memory store, view the timeline for contextual history, and fetch the full details of the relevant observations.

Does this cross-session memory search work without any external dependencies?

Yes, the cross-session memory search operates without external dependencies, indexing previous results, decisions, and context internally to help you locate and recall relevant work across all sessions.

How do I verify past decisions made across different Claude sessions?

To verify past decisions made across different Claude sessions, you search the indexed memory store for the specific topic, apply a timeline to contextualize the chronological history, and fetch the full details of the observations.

What are the limitations of retrieving context from past sessions?

A limitation of retrieving context from past sessions is that the search relies on previously indexed results, decisions, and context, meaning any prior work not captured in the memory store cannot be located or reconstructed.
