List past Claude Code sessions for the current project as a quick summary table — session ID, last-active time, transcript size, and name (the /rename custom title, else the auto-generated title). Use when the user wants to see, list, browse, or summarize related/past sessions for this project.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 14
Run the helper script (it derives the project's session folder from the working directory):
- Very specific: line 47
After showing the table, remind the user they can reopen one with /resume (in-session picker) or claude --resume from the terminal.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
List Sessions
Show a summary of all Claude Code sessions belonging to the current project so the user can quickly find and resume one.
How to run
Run the helper script (it derives the project's session folder from the working directory):
python3 .claude/skills/list-sessions/list_sessions.pyThen present its output. The script already prints a clean table with:
- ID — short session id (first 8 chars; full id is the
.jsonlfilename) - Last active — file modified time
- Size — transcript size
- Name — user
/renametitle if set, else the auto-generated AI title, else a truncated first prompt - ↳ summary — an optional hand-curated one-liner shown under a session, if one exists
Rows are sorted newest-first; the current session (if detectable) is marked ▶.
Curated summaries (best of both worlds)
The live columns above are always regenerated from disk, so nothing goes stale. The
optional summary line is read from session-helper/session-info.md — a small,
hand-maintained table of | + backtick-quoted session id + | summary | rows. To add
or edit a session's summary, edit that file directly (no script/regeneration needed).
This replaced the older
session-helper/refresh-sessions.sh(which regenerated a full registry and had a hardcoded "current session" id, so it went stale). That script is retired;session-info.mdis now just the curated-summary store this skill reads.
Notes
- Sessions live in
~/.claude/projects/<encoded-cwd>/*.jsonl, where Claude Code encodes the project path by replacing every/and.with-. - To inspect a different project, pass its absolute path as an argument:
python3 .claude/skills/list-sessions/list_sessions.py /some/other/project - This skill is read-only — it never modifies session files.
- After showing the table, remind the user they can reopen one with
/resume(in-session picker) orclaude --resumefrom the terminal.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
