Activation

This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.

Searches and recovers content from Claude Code JSONL session history across all active config homes and every long-term archive registered in ~/.claude/history-sources.json — sweeping every project at once with --all-projects when the project is unknown, and optionally covering Codex rollout history with --codex. Uses internal record timestamps rather than file mtime and searches message text, thinking, tool inputs/results, queue-operation content, attachments, summaries, and titles. Use for keyword or date-bounded history search, prior-conversation forensics, deleted-file recovery, tool/file-operation analysis, or requests mentioning session history, find in history, previous conversation, or .claude/projects. Do not use for a simple recent Claude+Codex inventory; use local-conversation-history.
