/sessions (installed from EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin ce-sessions)

Search session history across Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor and synthesize findings about what was worked on, tried, decided, or learned in prior sessions.

Usage

/ce-sessions [question or topic]
/ce-sessions

Pre-resolved context

Git branch (pre-resolved): !git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD 2>/dev/null || true

If the line above resolved to a plain branch name (like feat/my-branch), use it for branch filtering and pass it to the synthesis subagent. If it still contains a backtick command string or is empty, derive the branch at runtime instead.

Repo name (pre-resolved): !basename "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)" 2>/dev/null || true

If the line above resolved to a plain repo folder name, use it for session discovery. Otherwise derive at runtime.

Note: 2026

The current year is 2026. Use this when interpreting session timestamps.

Guardrails

These rules apply at all times during orchestration and synthesis.

• Never read entire session files into context. Session files can be 1-7MB. Always use the extraction scripts to filter first, then reason over the filtered output.
• Never extract or reproduce tool call inputs/outputs verbatim. Summarize what was attempted and what happened.
• Never include thinking or reasoning block content. Claude Code thinking blocks are internal reasoning; Codex reasoning blocks are encrypted. Neither is actionable.
• Never analyze the current session. Its conversation history is already available to the caller.
• Surface technical content, not personal content. Sessions contain everything — credentials, frustration, half-formed opinions. Use judgment about what belongs in a technical summary and what doesn't.
• Fail fast on access errors. If session discovery fails on permissions, report the issue immediately. Do not retry the same operation with different tools or approaches — repeated retries waste tokens without changing the outcome.

Execution

If no question argument is provided, ask what the user wants to know about their session history. Use the platform's blocking question tool: AskUserQuestion in Claude Code (call ToolSearch with select:AskUserQuestion first if its schema isn't loaded), request_user_input in Codex, ask_user in Gemini, ask_user in Pi (requires the pi-ask-user extension). Fall back to asking in plain text only when no blocking tool exists in the harness or the call errors (e.g., Codex edit modes) — not because a schema load is required. Never silently skip the question.
