**Claude Code's memory is scoped per project directory. Your history isn't.**

Every session you've ever run is already on disk in `~/.claude/projects/**/*.jsonl` — every decision, every command that worked, every credential you pasted. But open a session in a different directory and none of it is reachable. You re-ask questions you already answered, and re-implement integrations you already wrote.

This indexes all of it and hands Claude 13 MCP tools to search it. You just ask normally.

*What was the retry logic in that deploy script?* *Which DATABASE_URL did I actually use for staging?* *Before I write the Stripe integration — has anyone here already done payment auth?*

Pure Python standard library. No third-party dependencies, no embeddings, no API calls, nothing leaves your machine.

git clone https://github.com/nameforjt-afk/session-knowledge.git
cd session-knowledge
bash install.sh

Restart Claude Code. Done.

⚠️ Read this before installing

The index lives in `~/.claude/session-index/` and **it contains plaintext credentials scraped from your sessions.** That is the precondition for "which key did I use here" to work at all.

**Never commit that directory, never sync it to cloud storage, never send it to anyone.** This repo's `.gitignore` covers the default location, but if you relocate it that's on you.

The full-text index itself is redacted: common credential shapes (API keys, Bearer tokens, JWTs, GitHub PATs, passwords inside connection strings) are replaced with `⟦SECRET:fingerprint⟧` before they are written. Plaintext lives only in `vault.db` at mode 0600, and only an explicit `creds
