Restore Session

Load a previous conversation as context for the current session.

When to Use

• User says "restore session", "continue from last time", "recall previous context"
• User wants to resume work on a topic from a past session
• User references something discussed in a previous conversation

Workflow

Step 1 — List saved conversations

Run this command and parse the output:

ls -t ~/.claude/logs/conversations/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -20

For each file:

• Parse filename: YYYY-MM-DD_<topic-slug>.md
• Read first line of file (the title) with head -1 <file>
• Show as numbered list

Example output to show user:

Recent conversations:
1. 2026-04-08 — я хочу установить вот такой репозиторий awesome-claude-code (today)
2. 2026-04-07 — как настроить SSH для нового сервера
3. 2026-04-05 — анализ результатов exp_003 не сходится с baseline
...

Step 2 — User picks

Ask: "Which one? (number, or 'all' to see full list)"

Step 3 — Load context

Read the selected file:

cat ~/.claude/logs/conversations/<filename>.md

Then:

1. Read the full conversation
2. Summarize what was discussed in 4-6 bullet points
3. Note any unfinished tasks or open questions
4. Say: "Context loaded. Here's what we covered last time:" + bullet points

Then ask: "What would you like to continue with?"

Context Injection Format

When presenting the loaded context, structure it as:

## Previous session: <topic> (<date>)

**What we discussed:**
- ...
- ...

**Unfinished / open items:**
- ...

**Files/projects involved:**
- ...

Notes

• Conversations are saved automatically at session end
• Files live at ~/.claude/logs/conversations/
• Sessions older than 90 days are auto-deleted
• If no conversations found, tell user that history starts accumulating from now
