README
read-past-sessions
A cross-agent skill for finding and reading past session transcripts across **Claude Code**, **Grok**, **Cursor IDE / cursor-agent CLI**, **Antigravity (agy)**, **clx**, **clg**, **clc**, and **cld**, turning them into concise context briefings for the current chat.
Use it when you want to fork off, continue, resume, or pick up from a previous session; recall what was decided in an earlier chat; or find which old session touched a particular file, topic, or artifact.
It can also search curated durable memory files and build a local Graphify-compatible memory graph, so project knowledge can be shared between agent sessions without rereading raw transcript JSONL files.
