Why does the skill suggest using --resume instead of --continue?

Using the specific --resume command with the new ID ensures Claude picks up the migrated session specifically, rather than defaulting to the most recent session in the folder.

Can I search for sessions using specific keywords?

Yes, you can provide a keyword argument during the migration process to search through all global sessions and find the exact conversation you need.

Does migrating a session delete the original history?

No, the skill copies the session files and assigns a new unique ID, ensuring the original session remains intact in its source directory.

Does this skill migrate subagent data as well?

Yes, the migration script is designed to handle both the main conversation .jsonl file and any associated subagents directories for a complete transfer.

Transfers Claude Code conversation history between project directories to maintain context across different workspaces.

Claude Migrate Session streamlines the process of moving active AI coding conversations between different project folders. By searching globally across your system for existing sessions and cloning them into your current working directory with a new unique identifier, it ensures that project-specific context isn't lost when moving files or reorganizing repositories.
