Query Claude Code session history via a DuckDB index over `~/.claude/projects/`. Use when asked about Claude Code activity ("how many tokens today?", "what did I work on this week?", "which sessions discussed X?") or instead of reading, grepping, or jq-ing session transcripts. Not for codebase search, git log queries, or arbitrary databases.

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

Query Claude Code history from a DuckDB index over the JSONL session files. Report each figure with the named query or SQL that produced it, and any `index-health` alert or Known Blind Spot that bounds it.

Current session ID: `${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID}`

## Arguments

- `--refresh`: run `refresh.ts --refresh` before querying. Default: the incremental refresh.
- `--host <label>`: scope queries through the `host` param. Default: every host, including `local`.
- `--since <date>`: pass as the `after_date` param. Default: the full index.

## Database

The index is `~/.local/share/claude-sessions/session.duckdb` (under `$XDG_DATA_HOME` when set). Use that path directly in every query and agent prompt.

### Refresh

Run `refresh.ts` before querying. It imports changed files, drops rows for deleted ones, and prints the DB path. Within `--max-age` (default 300 seconds) of the last refresh it exits without opening the database. Pass `--refresh` when the user asks for the latest data.

```bash
bun ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/refresh.ts
```

### Querying

Open the index with `duckdb -readonly -json -init ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/resources/limits.sql`:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bendrucker/claude/observability:session@sha256:2a80adcd9413d6cd

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.02d6c50, 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.
