Can I run multiple Claude sessions simultaneously?

Yes. The skill uses unique session IDs and process IDs to ensure each concurrent Claude instance writes to its own specific log file without conflicts.

How do I provide a previous log's context back to Claude?

You can reference any log file in a new Claude session using the @ symbol followed by the path to the log, allowing Claude to read and resume previous work.

Is it possible to automatically delete old logs?

Yes, the skill includes a prune-logs.sh script that can be run manually or via a cron job to delete logs older than a specified number of days.

Are these logs encrypted?

No, logs are stored as plain-text markdown files. Users should treat them as sensitive data and follow the provided security recommendations, such as regular pruning and backup exclusions.

Where are the conversation logs stored?

By default, logs are stored in markdown format within the ~/.claude/conversation-logs directory, though this path can be customized in the hook script.

Analytics & Monitoring

Records all Claude Code interactions into structured markdown files for debugging, auditing, and session persistence.

The Conversation Logging skill utilizes global hooks to automatically capture the full lifecycle of a Claude Code session. It tracks user prompts, detailed tool executions—including bash outputs, file edits, and web searches—and AI responses into organized, session-specific markdown files. This persistent history is invaluable for developers who need to debug complex autonomous tasks, maintain an audit trail of AI-generated changes, or quickly provide context from previous work to new Claude sessions.
