Is it possible to find conversations where I edited a specific file?

Absolutely. Use the --file flag followed by the file path or pattern to filter history for sessions where that file was involved.

How do I search across all my projects?

You can use the --all flag with the claude-history tool to search through conversation history across every project indexed by Claude Code.

Can I see the messages before and after a search result?

Yes, by using the --context flag followed by a number, you can display a specific number of messages surrounding the matched result for better context.

Can I export the search results?

Yes, you can use the --format json flag to get the search results in a structured format suitable for programmatic use or external logging.

What kind of time filters are supported?

The skill supports natural language time filters using the --since and --until flags, such as '2 days ago', 'yesterday', or specific dates.

Productivity & Workflow

Searches and retrieves past Claude Code conversation history using keywords, file patterns, and tool usage filters.

About

Claude History Search is a specialized productivity tool for the Claude Code CLI that enables developers to quickly locate and reference past interactions. By indexing conversation history, it allows for granular searching based on specific keywords, files that were modified during a session, or specific tools used, such as 'Edit' or 'Bash'. This skill is essential for maintaining context across long-running projects, helping users recall why specific changes were made or where a particular technical discussion took place without manually scrolling through terminal logs.

Filter by tool usage to find sessions involving code edits or terminal commands
Filter history by modified file paths or specific file patterns
1 GitHub stars
Comprehensive keyword search across all past Claude Code conversations
Interactive search mode with autocomplete for faster discovery
Time-based filtering with natural language support like 'yesterday' or '7 days ago'

Use Cases

Retrieving context from conversations that spanned across multiple subagents or projects
Finding the rationale behind a previous code refactor or bug fix discussion
Locating specific terminal commands or scripts executed in past sessions
