session-search
Search through historical Claude sessions for code, conversations, and commands. Use when user asks about previous sessions, past conversations, "did I ever", "find in history", or wants to retrieve code/info from earlier chats.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill session-search-atondwal-config --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Session Search Search through your Claude session history stored in `~/.claude/projects/`. ## Usage Run the search script with a regex or keyword pattern: ```bash python ~/.claude/skills/session-search/search.py "pattern" [max_results] ``` ## Examples ```bash # Find sessions mentioning a specific function python ~/.claude/skills/session-search/search.py "def parse_config" # Find discussions about a topic python ~/.claude/skills/session-search/search.py "kubernetes|docker" # Find code with specific imports python ~/.claude/skills/session-search/search.py "from fastapi import" # Limit results python ~/.claude/skills/session-search/search.py "error" 10 ``` ## Output Returns matches with: - Session slug/ID and project path - Timestamp - Role (user/assistant) - Matching content with surrounding context - 1 message before/after for context Results are sorted by recency (newest first), limited to 20 by default.

What does the session-search skill do?
Search through historical Claude sessions for code, conversations, and commands. Use when user asks about previous sessions, past conversations, "did I ever", "find in history", or wants to retrieve code/info from earlier chats.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill session-search-atondwal-config --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
