## What it does

The skill matches project terms against actual working-directory values, checks model and status filters against available facets, then filters the session list. Results are sorted by cost or start time; recency is the default. An empty request returns the latest sessions.

Its report includes a table with each session’s ID, status, model, project, start time, and cost, plus match totals and model and status breakdowns. It relies on Agent Monitor data. If the dashboard cannot be reached, start it from the repository root with `npm start`; session lookup depends on the dashboard being available.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor --skill session-search -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/session-search/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/session-search/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor --skill session-search -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/session-search/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor --skill session-search -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/session-search/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor session-search
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/session-search/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor --skill session-search -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor --path plugins/ccam-sessions/skills/session-search
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/session-search/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor --skill session-search -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/hoangsonww/Claude-Code-Agent-Monitor/tree/HEAD/plugins/ccam-sessions/skills/session-search/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- find sessions associated with a project directory
- filter runs by model and status
- locate sessions within a date range
- rank matching sessions by cost or start time
- summarize matching runs and their combined cost

## Example prompts
- Find this week's EstateWise sessions and sort them by recency.
- Show Opus runs with error status from this week.
- Find the most expensive sessions in `/repo`.

  Find Claude Code sessions tracked by the Agent Monitor by project (cwd), model,
  status, or date, then rank the matches by cost or recency. Pulls the session list

  Use when locating a session — "find my EstateWise sessions", "which Opus runs
  errored this week", "most expensive sessions in /repo".

# Session Search

Locate Claude Code sessions in the Agent Monitor by project, model, status, or date.

## Input

The user provides: **$ARGUMENTS**

A free-form query naming any combination of:
- **project / cwd** — a working-directory path or basename (e.g. `EstateWise`, `/Users/.../repo`)
- **model** — `opus`, `sonnet`, `haiku`, or a full model id substring
- **status** — `active`, `working`, `completed`, `error`
- **date** — `today`, `this week`, or an ISO date / range matched against `started_at`
- **ranking** — `by cost` (default when cost is mentioned) or `recent` (default otherwise)

If the query is empty, return the most recent sessions ranked by recency.

## Data Sources

| Endpoint | Returns |
|----------|---------|
| `GET /api/sessions?limit=N` | session list: id, status, model, cwd, started_at, ended_at, cost, metadata (thinking_blocks, turn_count, total_turn_duration_ms, usage_extras) |
| `GET /api/run/cwds` | the distinct working directories that have sessions — use to resolve a fuzzy project name to exact cwd values |
| `GET /api/events/facets` | distinct facet values (event types, tool names, models, statuses) for validating filters |

## Report Sections

### 1. Resolve filters
Fetch `/api/run/cwds` and `/api/events/facets` to map the user's loose terms to
real values: pick the cwd(s) whose path contains the project term, confirm the
model substring exists, and validate the status against known statuses. State
which concrete filters you settled on.

### 2. Pull candidates
`GET /api/sessions?limit=200` (raise the limit if the date window is wide). Filter
in-memory by cwd, model (substring, case-insensitive), status, and `started_at`
date window.

### 3. Rank
Sort by `cost` descending when the user asked "by cost"; otherwise by `started_at`
descending (most recent first). Keep the top 20 unless the user asked for more.

### 4. Matches
One row per session.

### 5. Summary
Count of matches, summed cost across matches, and the model / status distribution.

## Output

Markdown table: `# | id (short) | status | model | cwd (basename) | started_at | cost`.
Currency as USD to 4 decimal places; token / count fields with thousands separators.
If a filter resolved to zero rows, say so and show the closest available values
(e.g. the cwds that *do* exist) rather than fabricating results. If the dashboard
is unreachable, tell the user to start it with `npm start` from the repo root.
