Move or rename a git repo on disk without losing its Claude Code history — remap the session dir (~/.claude/projects/<slug>/) and the ~/.claude.json projects key so every past session still resumes from the new path with trust, allowedTools and MCP servers intact, and repair the git worktrees the move breaks. Use when moving a repo to a different parent folder, renaming the org/parent directory, reorganising ~/projects, or after a move when: `claude --resume` shows no sessions / the session…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Move a repo without losing its Claude Code sessions

A plain `mv` of a repo works fine for git and breaks everything Claude Code keeps
*about* that repo. Nothing errors — the sessions simply stop appearing, the trust
dialog comes back, and the old transcripts sit in a directory nothing looks at
any more. This skill is the remap that makes the move invisible.

Commands live in [`reference/playbook.md`](./reference/playbook.md); three helpers
live in [`scripts/`](./scripts) — slug derivation, the worktree move plan, and the
registry remap. This body is the model and the rules.

## The three things, and only one of them is the repo

| # | Thing | Where | If you skip it |
| - | ----- | ----- | -------------- |
| 1 | The repo | `~/projects/<parent>/<repo>` | — |
| 2 | Session metadata | `~/.claude/projects/<SLUG>/` | every past session disappears from the picker; auto-memory goes with it |
| 3 | The home registry | `~/.claude.json` → `projects["<abs path>"]` | trust dialog + onboarding reappear; `allowedTools`, `mcpServers`, `mcpContextUris` are gone |

They are independent. Moving only the repo (2 and 3 left behind) is the common
accident — and it is silent.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add stealth-factory/skills/claude-code-repo-migration@sha256:ce71b24bdd350e15

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
