What is the best way to recall a specific VS Code Copilot session for a project handoff?▼

Does WormLens work with both VS Code Copilot and Claude Code chat histories?▼

WormLens works with both VS Code Copilot and Claude Code chat histories, applying extraction and search across both providers. It enforces a YAML frontmatter with name and description and supports optional on-demand resources in scripts, references, and assets directories.

Why does my extracted code chat history lose context during agent session handoffs?▼

Extracted code chat history loses context during handoffs when lossy compression or paraphrasing is applied. WormLens prevents this by enforcing lossless extraction and presentation of chat histories, ensuring reliable recall and auditing for knowledge transfer.

What are the limitations of regex search across Claude Code and Copilot sessions?▼

Regex search across Claude Code and Copilot sessions is limited to the extracted chat histories available in the local environment. It relies on session UUIDs for extraction and enforces YAML frontmatter, meaning corrupted or missing local session data cannot be searched.
