Does this skill work with binary files like images?

No, the recovery scripts are designed for text-based source code and conversation logs. It can identify the paths of binary files but cannot restore their content.

Are my session logs shared with any third parties?

No, all recovery and analysis operations are performed locally on your machine using the provided scripts, ensuring your session data remains private.

Where does Claude Code store its session history files?

Claude Code stores session files locally on your machine within the ~/.claude/projects/ directory, organized by normalized project paths.

Can I recover files that weren't explicitly saved with the Write tool?

This skill is most effective at recovering files written via the Write tool. While it can track Edit and Read operations, full file restoration depends on snapshots captured during Write calls.

Is it possible to search multiple sessions at once?

Yes, the skill includes a search operation that can scan all session files within a project directory for specific keywords or code snippets.
