Recover prior work from Claude Code session transcripts. Use when the user asks to find something from a previous session, resume earlier research, or recall what was decided.
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
# Session Search Search prior Claude Code session transcripts directly via Bash. ## Where transcripts live Session transcripts are JSONL files under `~/.claude/projects/<project-slug>/`, where `<project-slug>` is the working directory path with `/` replaced by `-` (e.g. `~/.claude/projects/-home-user/`). Each line is a JSON record with `type` (user, assistant, etc.) and message content. ## Search ```bash # Find sessions mentioning a topic grep -ril "scaling laws" ~/.claude/projects/-home-user*/ # Search current project only grep -ril "replication" ~/.claude/projects/-home-user/ # Show matching user messages with context grep -h '"type":"user"' ~/.claude/projects/-home-user/*.jsonl | grep -i "literature review" ``` For large result sets, triage by file modification time (`ls -lt`) to find recent sessions first. ## Also check durable artifacts Before digging through transcripts, check the durable research artifacts — they were designed to survive sessions: - `CHANGELOG.md` (lab notebook) - `notes/` (session logs) - `outputs/.plans/` (run plans with task ledgers and verification logs) - `outputs/`, `papers/` (final artifacts with provenance sidecars) …

How to install
mdr add yichen-zju/claude-for-research/session-search@sha256:919fc950548a5bb9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.9f2a5e0, 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.
