At a glance
This skill should be used when searching Claude Code session transcripts with semantic understanding.

What it does
Session Search is an agent skill from glebis/claude-skills. This skill should be used when searching Claude Code session transcripts with semantic understanding. Triggers on queries like "find sessions about X", "when did I work on Y", "search previous conversations". Supports natural language queries with synonym matching.
Its SKILL.md is about 570 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` and `scripts/search.py`).
The repository describes itself as: Collection of Claude Code skills for enhanced AI workflows. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Queries like find sessions about X
- Did I work on Y
- Search previous conversations
Example prompts
- “find sessions about X”
- “when did I work on Y”
- “search previous conversations”
- “/session-search”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7524dff. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Session Search loads about 571 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 221 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

- description
- This skill should be used when searching Claude Code session transcripts with semantic understanding. Triggers on queries like "find sessions about X", "when did I work on Y", "search previous conversations". Supports natural language queries with synonym matching.
Session Search
Search Claude Code session transcripts by combining keyword pre-filtering with semantic evaluation. Finds previous sessions about specific topics, debugging conversations, research tasks, or any past work.
Workflow
Step 1: Run the search script
Execute scripts/search.py with the user's query:
python3 scripts/search.py "<query>" [max_results] [max_age_days]query(required): Natural language search querymax_results(optional, default 10): Maximum results to returnmax_age_days(optional, default 90): How far back to search
The script performs keyword pre-filtering across all sessions, then extracts meaningful excerpts from top candidates. Output contains a SESSIONS_DATA JSON block.
Step 2: Evaluate results semantically
After receiving the script output, evaluate each session's relevance to the query. Consider:
- Synonym matching: "bug" matches "error", "issue", "problem", "fix"
- Related concepts: "debugging" matches sessions with test failures or error messages
- Tool patterns: "refactoring" matches Edit-heavy sessions
- Domain context: "obsidian" matches vault-related work
Assign a relevance score (0-10) to each session based on excerpt content and query intent.
Step 3: Present results
Display the top results (up to max_results) sorted by relevance, formatted as:
### [Relevance: N/10] Project — Date
Summary of what the session was about (1-2 sentences based on excerpts)
`claude --resume <session-id>`If no relevant results are found, report that and suggest alternative queries.
Session Storage
Sessions are stored as JSONL files in ~/.claude/projects/. Each file contains events with user/assistant messages and tool calls. The search script handles file discovery and text extraction automatically.
Customization
To search older sessions or get more results:
/session-search "query" 20 180(20 results, 180 days lookback)

Can I use Session Search in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add glebis/claude-skills --skill session-search -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/session-search, .gemini/skills/session-search, .github/skills/session-search and .opencode/skills/session-search in your project.
What does Session Search need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Session Search needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python3). Our summary lists: Python 3.
Does Session Search access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Session Search safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
What licence does Session Search use?
Session Search is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Session Search use?
About 571 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
