Does it handle Python virtual environments and tool managers?

Yes, it includes environment fixups that handle mise trust, venv recreation via uv, and provides warnings for direnv and asdf to ensure your dev environment works immediately after the move.

Is the migration process safe for my files?

Yes. The skill includes a 9-phase safety check, creates a timestamped backup in your ~/.claude directory, and provides a rollback command if anything goes wrong.

Can I preview what the migration will do?

Yes, the skill includes a Phase 2 Dry-Run Audit that shows exactly how many session files, history entries, and memory files will be affected before you commit to the change.

Why does Claude Code lose sessions when I rename a folder?

Claude Code encodes the absolute path of your project into the filenames of its internal storage. When the directory path changes, the encoded mapping breaks. This skill re-encodes those paths so your history remains accessible.

Automates the migration of Claude Code session history, memory, and environment settings when renaming or moving project directories.

This skill solves the 'missing conversation' problem that occurs when a project folder is renamed or moved. Since Claude Code encodes absolute file paths to store session data and history, moving a project normally orphans its previous context. This tool performs a safe, 9-phase migration that re-encodes path references in session indexes and history files, creates backward-compatibility symlinks, and automatically fixes environment tools like mise, venv, and direnv to ensure a seamless transition without losing your AI's project memory.
