Import coding-agent sessions a person started outside Walnut (terminal `claude`, Claude Desktop, the VS Code extension, codex TUI) into Walnut as tasks. Use when the user says "import my sessions", "find sessions opened outside Walnut", asks why a session id isn't in Walnut (a script's `claude -p` runs are left out on purpose), asks what the "Imported" pill means or why an imported task completed itself, or wants the external-session scan run NOW instead of waiting for the background tick.
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
# Import External Sessions Walnut automatically imports sessions a person started outside it (someone ran `claude` in a terminal, used Claude Desktop, the VS Code extension or the codex TUI). A session a program started (a script's `claude -p`, an Agent SDK app) is that program's work and is left out, unless a plugin claims it. A background job runs every 10 minutes; this skill is the on-demand path. Each imported session becomes **its own task**, titled with the session's own name, grouped under a per-host project: **"Imported from this Mac"** / **"Imported from \<host\>"**. Inside that project the tasks sit in **one sub-folder per working directory** (label = the cwd's last two segments, home collapsed to `~`: `myCode/walnut`, `src/server`, `~/.claude`). ## The imported type (the "Imported" pill) An imported task carries the tag `walnut:external-sessions`. That tag is the task's **type**, shown in the task list as an `Imported` pill, and it drives three automatic behaviours. All of them run inside the same 10-minute tick; there is no extra timer and no model call. | Rule | What happens | |---|---| …

How to install
mdr add evanzhang008/open-walnut/walnut-import-external-sessions@sha256:e91b95e0402b6b17The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.069977a, 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.
