Local Conversation History

Inventories recent local Claude Code and Codex conversations for a workspace with a single read-only command.

UtilitiesIntermediate★ 1,323⑂ 212AI score 9/10Last updated: Aug 8, 2026

What it does

  • Runs the bundled scripts/list_local_history.py once to inventory local Claude Code and Codex conversations scoped to a workspace.
  • For Claude Code it combines every active config home (~/.claude, profile homes, CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR) with every archive registered in ~/.claude/history-sources.json, then de-duplicates session IDs.
  • Sorts and filters by internal JSONL timestamps rather than file mtime, so copying or migrating an archive never distorts chronology.
  • Emits presentation-ready Markdown (or JSON) tables with titles, timezone-qualified timestamps, provenance, session IDs, and archive/test flags, hiding internal sub-agent noise by default.
  • Stays strictly read-only: it never resumes, renames, archives, deletes, or repairs a conversation.

Who it's for

  • Long-time Claude Code / Codex CLI users juggling many projects who often ask "when did I work on that?"
  • Anyone who needs a session ID before resuming or citing a specific past conversation.
  • Users whose history is scattered across multiple config homes, profiles, or backup archives.

Examples

  1. "Show my last 10 conversations in this project" → --cwd <workspace> --limit 10.
  2. "Codex only, this month, including archived threads" → --source codex --include-archived --from-date.
  3. "List every workspace" → --all-projects for a full inventory, then hand a session ID to the continue-* skills.

Note: full-text keyword search, deleted-file recovery, and resuming work are out of scope (separate skills in the same repo). Claude Desktop native chats are not included.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the daymade-claude-code/local-conversation-history folder from the GitHub repo daymade/claude-code-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/local-conversation-history/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/daymade/claude-code-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r claude-code-skills/daymade-claude-code/local-conversation-history ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/daymade/claude-code-skills.git
  3. Create the skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the skill: cp -r claude-code-skills/daymade-claude-code/local-conversation-history ~/.claude/skills/
  5. Confirm Python 3 is available: python3 --version (the script uses only the standard library).
  6. Optional: register durable history archives once in ~/.claude/history-sources.json so every run searches them.
  7. Restart Claude Code and ask "list my recent local conversations" to verify.
