cctree 0.3.1

Personal Claude Code session browser, fork-from-message tool, and history navigator.

cctree

Personal Claude Code session browser, fork-from-message tool, and history navigator.

Status

Phase 0: scaffolded. Implementation pending /plan-eng-review.

What it does

cctree reads your existing Claude Code session JSONL files in ~/.claude/projects/ and gives you what the built-in TUI doesn't:

• Browse all sessions across all projects, including ones the resume picker hides (50-cap, custom-titled, etc.)
• Read pre-compaction history that the TUI stops showing after /compact (the data is in the JSONL — we just render it)
• Hierarchical navigation of tool calls and subagent transcripts (collapsible, drillable)
• Task evolution scrubbing — watch your task list change over the course of a session
• Fork from any message — not just the session HEAD like claude --fork-session — start a fresh Claude Code session from any historical point in any conversation
• Search across all sessions by keyword/phrase
• Tags, stars, custom names in a local SQLite metadata layer

Phase 1 ships a CLI. Phase 2 adds a Textual TUI sharing the same core.

Why

The Claude Code TUI access layer has gaps tracked in #27242 and related issues. The data layer is intact — JSONLs are append-only and crash-safe — but the TUI doesn't expose it. cctree is the missing reading lamp.

See docs/ceo-plan.md for the full strategic plan and rationale.
