Tdimino Claude Code Minoan Claude Tracker Suite

Claude Session Management Suite

Search, browse, monitor, and manage Claude Code session history across all projects.

Tools Overview

Standalone Scripts

Commands delegate to standalone Node.js scripts (avoids shell escaping issues with inline node -e):

All scripts use ~/.claude/lib/tracker-utils.js for shared utilities (path decoding, session parsing, git remote detection).

Quick Start

# Search by topic
claude-tracker-search "kothar mac mini"

# Lookup by session ID prefix (exact directory from JSONL ground truth)
node ~/.claude/skills/claude-tracker-suite/scripts/search-sessions.js --id d7b8f4dd

# Search by session name/slug only (fast — no JSONL body scan)
claude-tracker-search "thera" --name

# List top 10 sessions, open selected in cmux tabs
node ~/.claude/skills/claude-tracker-suite/scripts/open-sessions.js

# Open top 5 as vertical splits
node ~/.claude/skills/claude-tracker-suite/scripts/open-sessions.js --limit 5 --split right

# Check what's alive
claude-tracker-alive

# Resume crashed sessions in tmux
claude-tracker-resume --tmux

# Start auto-summarize daemon
claude-tracker-watch --daemon

Search

claude-tracker-search "$ARGUMENTS"

Search targets (weighted ranking): Summary (3x), First prompt (2x), Project name (1x), Git branch (1x).

Resume Crashed Sessions

claude-tracker-resume                    # List crashed sessions with resume commands
claude-tracker-resume --tmux             # Resume all in tmux windows
claude-tracker-resume --zsh              # Resume all in Terminal.app tabs (macOS)
claude-tracker-resume --all              # Include non-VS Code sessions
claude-tracker-resume --dry-run          # Preview without acting

Smart fallback: if --resume fails on an expired session, automatically starts a fresh session in that project directory. Sessions older than 7 days show a STALE badge.

Alive Detection

Check which sessions have running Claude processes:

claude-tracker-alive                     # Running + stale sessions overview
claude-tracker-alive --running           # Only sessions with active processes
claude-tracker-alive --stale             # Only sessions with no process
claude-tracker-alive --json              # Machine-readable output

Cross-references running claude PIDs (via pgrep + lsof) against recent session files. Sessions >3 days without a process show an OLD badge.

Auto-Summarize Daemon

Watch for new sessions and auto-populate summary cache:

claude-tracker-watch --status            # Check if daemon is running
claude-tracker-watch --daemon            # Start in background
claude-tracker-watch --stop              # Stop running daemon
claude-tracker-watch --verbose           # Foreground with debug output

The daemon watches ~/.claude/projects/*/sessions-index.json for changes. When new sessions appear, it caches summaries from Claude Code metadata and regenerates active-projects.md. See references/daemon-setup.md for launchd plist and lifecycle details.

Session Listing

claude-tracker                           # All recent sessions
claude-tracker vscode                    # VS Code sessions only

Detect Projects

node ~/.claude/skills/claude-tracker-suite/scripts/detect-projects.js                # List all
node ~/.claude/skills/claude-tracker-suite/scripts/detect-projects.js --suggest      # Suggest additions
node ~/.claude/skills/claude-tracker-suite/scripts/detect-projects.js --scaffold     # Create CLAUDE.md stubs
node ~/.claude/skills/claude-tracker-suite/scripts/detect-projects.js --since 30d    # Recent only

Update Active Projects

python3 ~/.claude/scripts/update-active-projects.py              # Regenerate active-projects.md
python3 ~/.claude/scripts/update-active-projects.py --summarize  # Show sessions needing summaries

The generated table includes Model, Turns, and Cost columns from enriched session data (extracted from JSONL transcripts). Git worktree sessions show a tree emoji badge. Sessions without summaries are auto-named via one-shot claude --model haiku call.

Bootstrap New Setup

Generate a complete ~/.claude/ configuration for a new machine:

node ~/.claude/skills/claude-tracker-suite/scripts/bootstrap-claude-setup.js --user "Name" --dry-run
node ~/.claude/skills/claude-tracker-suite/scripts/bootstrap-claude-setup.js --user "Name"

Creates directory structure, global CLAUDE.md, userModel template, agent_docs stubs, and project CLAUDE.md scaffolds. Follow up with /claude-md-manager to enrich generated files.

Resume in New Terminal

Open a session in a new cmux tab, optionally opening the project in an editor:

# Resume in cmux tab (default — auto-detects project directory)
~/.claude/skills/claude-tracker-suite/scripts/resume-session.sh <session-id>

# Resume in cmux + open project in VS Code
~/.claude/skills/claude-tracker-suite/scripts/resume-session.sh <session-id> --vscode

# Resume in cmux + open project in Cursor
~/.claude/skills/claude-tracker-suite/scripts/resume-session.sh <session-id> --cursor

# Explicit project directory
~/.claude/skills/claude-tracker-suite/scripts/resume-session.sh <session-id> --project ~/Desktop/Programming

cmux owns the terminal lifecycle. Editor flags (--vscode, --cursor) only open the project in the editor — the session always resumes in cmux. Falls back to printing the resume command if cmux is not running.

New Session / Spawn

Start a new Claude Code session in a terminal tab or headless:

# Interactive session in Ghostty (default)
~/.claude/skills/claude-tracker-suite/scripts/new-session.sh ~/my-project

# With a specific model
~/.claude/skills/claude-tracker-suite/scripts/new-session.sh ~/my-project --model opus

# Prompt-driven session in Ghostty tab
~/.claude/skills/claude-tracker-suite/scripts/new-session.sh ~/my-project --prompt "fix the login bug"

# Prompt-driven in VS Code terminal
~/.claude/skills/claude-tracker-suite/scripts/new-session.sh ~/my-project --vscode --prompt "fix the login bug"

# Headless — runs in current terminal, returns JSON
~/.claude/skills/claude-tracker-suite/scripts/new-session.sh ~/my-project --headless --prompt "summarize the README"

# Headless with specific model and output format
~/.claude/skills/claude-tracker-suite/scripts/new-session.sh ~/my-project --headless --prompt "fix tests" --model haiku --output-format text

Headless and prompt-driven modes use claude -p (the Agent SDK CLI). Note: -p is now officially part of the Claude Agent SDK—it uses SDK billing, not interactive session billing. Terminal modes use the clipboard-paste AppleScript pattern for reliable command delivery (handles special characters in prompts).

Workflow: Find and Resume

1. claude-tracker-search "topic" — find matching sessions
2. claude --resume <session-id> — resume in current terminal
3. open-sessions.js — list top sessions, open selected in cmux tabs
4. Or claude-tracker-resume --tmux — auto-resume all crashed sessions

Workflow: Open Sessions in cmux

List recent sessions and open them in cmux tabs or splits:

# List top 10, prompt for selection
node ~/.claude/skills/claude-tracker-suite/scripts/open-sessions.js

# Open as vertical splits
node ~/.claude/skills/claude-tracker-suite/scripts/open-sessions.js --split right

# Open all without confirmation
node ~/.claude/skills/claude-tracker-suite/scripts/open-sessions.js --yes

# JSON output for scripting
node ~/.claude/skills/claude-tracker-suite/scripts/open-sessions.js --json

Session directories are resolved from JSONL ground truth (decodeProjectPath), not from active-projects.md. Falls back to printing resume commands when cmux is unavailable.

For the full cmux CLI reference, see references/cmux-commands.md.

Workflow: Monitor Active Work

1. claude-tracker-alive — see what's running vs stale
2. claude-tracker-watch --daemon — keep summaries auto-updated
3. Read ~/.claude/agent_docs/active-projects.md — curated project overview

Related: Git Tracking

Git-aware session tracking via PreToolUse/PostToolUse hooks intercepts all git commands and tags sessions with repos they touch. Enables cross-directory session discovery.

Query functions in tracker-utils.js:

• loadGitTracking() — load the index
• getSessionsForRepo(path) — find sessions that touched a repo
• getReposForSession(sid) — find repos a session touched
• getRecentCommits({hours, repoPath}) — recent commits across sessions
• getRecentGitEvents({hours}) — raw event timeline

The /session-report command generates a Markdown dashboard combining session status with git activity.

Related: Soul Registry

The soul registry (~/.claude/hooks/soul-registry.py) tracks live sessions with heartbeats, topics, and Slack channel bindings. It complements the tracker suite:

To view the live registry: python3 ~/.claude/hooks/soul-registry.py list --md

To activate Claudicle identity in a session: /ensoul (opt-in per session). To bind a session to Slack: /slack-sync #channel.
