Documentation

README

Excerpt

If you are Claude Code: Do NOT use this skill directly. Use the session-searcher subagent via the Task tool instead - it handles this more efficiently without polluting your context.

session-search

Search and find previous code agent sessions (Claude-Code or Codex-CLI) for specific work, decisions, or code patterns.

Workflow

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
