Can I search for specific tool uses, like bash commands or file writes?

Yes, by using jq to filter transcript lines where the type is 'assistant' and the content contains 'tool_use', you can extract exactly what commands were run.

What is the benefit of using the sesh CLI with this skill?

The sesh CLI allows you to assign memorable names to sessions, making it much easier to locate specific transcripts without memorizing long UUIDs or project hashes.

Are my transcripts sent to a server for analysis?

No, transcripts are stored locally on your machine and this skill uses local tools like Grep and Read to analyze them, ensuring your session history remains private.

How does this skill help after a context clear or compact command?

It allows you to perform a deep search of the underlying log files to find and restore specific details, code snippets, or reasoning that were removed from the active context.

Where are Claude Code transcripts stored locally?

Transcripts are stored as JSONL files in the ~/.claude/projects/ directory, organized into subdirectories based on unique project hashes.

Developer Tools

Searches and analyzes session transcripts to retrieve past decisions, solutions, and architectural discussions from previous Claude Code interactions.

Transcript Intelligence acts as a deep memory layer for Claude Code, allowing developers to query historical session logs to recover lost context or find previously implemented solutions. By parsing JSONL transcript files using powerful command-line tools like ripgrep and jq, it enables precise retrieval of user prompts, assistant responses, and specific tool-use results. This skill is essential for maintaining continuity in long-running projects, especially after context compacting or when working across multiple sessions where past technical decisions need to be audited or reused.
