- Trimming an overly long session down to just recent context
- Calls claude and jq
- Reducing token usage while keeping the last few turns of work
What it does
The skill reads the current session ID and project path from Claude's history file, locates the `half-clone-conversation.sh` script wherever it was installed, and previews the clone to confirm the first and last messages match before running it for real. After cloning, it hands back the exact `claude --resume <new-session-id>` command so the new session reopens directly without a picker. The script appends a reference to the original conversation at the end of the clone and marks it with a HALF-CLONE timestamp, so finding it in the session list also works as a fallback.
When your agent uses it
- Trimming an overly long session down to just recent context
- Reducing token usage while keeping the last few turns of work
- Starting a lighter session that still carries the latest progress
Example prompts
- “This conversation got too long, clone the later half into a new session.”
- “Half-clone this session and give me the resume command.”
- “Cut the early context from this chat but keep what we just did.”
Requirements
- Claude Code with `half-clone-conversation.sh` installed
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Get the current session ID and project path: tail -1 ~/.claude/history.jsonl | jq -r '[.sessionId, .project] | @tsv'
- Find half-clone-conversation.sh with bash: find ~/.claude -name "half-clone-conversation.sh" 2>/dev/null | sort -V | tail -1
- Preview the conversation to verify the session ID: --preview
- Run the clone
- The script prints the new session ID (the New session: line). Give the user the exact command to resume it directly, no picker needed
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 577ac89. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
claudejq
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
Conversation Half-Clone loads about 372 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 184 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 184 words (~372 tokens).
“Clone the later half of the current conversation, discarding earlier context to reduce token usage while preserving recent work.”
