What it does
This skill makes a trimmed copy of the current Claude Code conversation that keeps only its final quarter. The agent reads the latest entry of ~/.claude/history.jsonl to get the session ID and project path, then locates half-clone-conversation.sh under ~/.claude, preferring the highest version when several copies exist, whether it came from a plugin or a manual symlink. The same script handles half and quarter cloning, with --quarter selecting quarter mode.
Before cloning, the agent previews the conversation and checks that its first and last messages match the current one, then runs the clone with the project path from the history entry rather than the working directory. The script prints the new session ID, appends a reference to the original conversation at the end of the cloned file, and tags the new session as a quarter clone with a timestamp. The agent then hands you the exact claude --resume command to continue it.
When your agent uses it
- Cutting token usage in a long session while keeping recent work
- Continuing a conversation without most of its earlier context
Example prompts
- “This session has gotten long, so clone just the last quarter and let me continue cheaply.”
- “Start a trimmed copy of this conversation and give me the resume command.”
Requirements
- half-clone-conversation.sh installed under ~/.claude
- jq and a Unix shell
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: --quarter
- 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
Quarter Clone Conversation loads about 401 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 198 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 198 words (~401 tokens).
“Clone the last quarter of the current conversation, discarding earlier context to reduce token usage while preserving recent work.”
