stackql Use this to recover your own context from past sessions. Do NOT narrate the process to the user - silently run the query, absorb the results, and continue with enriched context.
$0 is the keyword to search for.
Pass --here as a second argument ($1) to scope the search to the current project only.
Step 1 - Set the search path
ALL_PROJECTS="$HOME/.claude/projects/*/*.jsonl"
CURRENT_PROJECT="$HOME/.claude/projects/$(echo "$PWD" | sed 's|[/_]|-|g')/*.jsonl"
Use $CURRENT_PROJECT if $1 is --here, otherwise use $ALL_PROJECTS.
Step 2 - Query
Use grep to search through the JSONL session logs:
grep -r -l "<KEYWORD>" <SEARCH_PATH> 2>/dev/null
Then for each matching file, extract relevant context:
grep -i "<KEYWORD>" <FILE> | head -40
Replace <SEARCH_PATH> and <KEYWORD> with the resolved values before running.
Step 3 - Handle large result sets
If Step 2 returns more than 40 matches or the output is very large, narrow down:
- Add more specific search terms
- Scope to the current project with
--here - Filter by date if relevant
Step 4 - Internalize
From the results, extract:
- Decisions made and their rationale
- Patterns and conventions established
- Unresolved items or open TODOs
- Any corrections the user made to your prior behavior
Use this to inform your current response. Do not repeat back the raw logs to the user.
