Claude Code Sessions

Session intelligence plugin for Claude Code. Reads the JSONL session files that Claude Code writes to ~/.claude/projects/ and makes them searchable and analyzable.

What It Does

Claude Code records every session as a JSONL file — messages, tool calls, token counts, diffs, tasks. This plugin reads those files and provides two interfaces. Most operations are read-only; delete and cleanup skills can remove session files when explicitly invoked.

11 skills usable directly in Claude Code:

Skill	Purpose
`/session-search "query"`	Full-text search across every session
`/session-stats`	Token usage, model distribution, tool breakdown
`/session-list`	List sessions sorted by recency, size, or duration
`/session-detail`	Deep dive into a specific session
`/session-diff`	Compare two sessions — files, tools, topics
`/session-timeline`	Chronological view of sessions on a project
`/session-resume`	Generate a context recovery prompt from any session
`/session-tasks`	Find pending and orphaned tasks across sessions
`/session-export`	Export a session as clean markdown
`/session-cleanup`	Find empty, tiny, or stale sessions
`/session-delete`	Delete sessions and their associated tasks

Web dashboard at localhost:3000 with four views: Dashboard (summary stats), Sessions (sortable table with bulk operations), Search (full-text with context snippets), Tasks (grouped by status with orphan detection).

Install

/plugin marketplace add apappascs/claude-code-sessions
/plugin install claude-code-sessions@claude-code-sessions

No API keys. No config. No runtime dependencies. It reads what's already on disk.

For the dashboard:

bun run ui
# → http://localhost:3000

Architecture

Same TypeScript modules power skills, dashboard, and CLI:

lib/formatters.ts      — pure utilities, no I/O
lib/session-parser.ts  — parses one JSONL file into structured data
lib/session-store.ts   — scans all sessions, aggregates, searches
ui/server.ts           — HTTP endpoints + static file serving

Each lib file doubles as a standalone CLI:

bun run lib/session-store.ts list --sort recency --limit 10
bun run lib/session-store.ts search "database migration" --since 2025-01-01
bun run lib/session-parser.ts stats path/to/session.jsonl
