Manage Claude Code session data when moving/copying directories

Claude Code Session Utils

Tools for managing Claude Code session data when project directories are copied, moved, or removed.

When you move or copy a project directory on your filesystem, Claude Code's internal session data (stored in ~/.claude/projects/) loses track of it. This tool helps you move/copy the session data along with the directory so you can resume your sessions.

Features

• Copy Session Data: Use cp to clone a directory along with its conversation history. Useful for branching your work.
• Move Session Data: Use mv to rename/move a project directory and update session references.
• Clean Up: Use rm to delete stale session data for a directory without deleting the directory itself.
• Auto-Update: Automatically rewrites path references inside session files so claude -c works immediately.
