Executive Summary
A bash skill that automates cross-folder session migration for Claude Code. Addresses a real gap (GitHub issue #1516) but has zero community adoption. Manual filesystem operations are safer and recommended over this automation tool.

What It Does
Problem solved: Native --resume command is limited to the current working directory. When you move a project or want to fork a session to a new folder, the session becomes inaccessible.
Solution provided:
- Global search: Finds sessions across all projects with keyword filtering
- Interactive selection: Filters results, excludes current directory sessions
- Automated migration: Copies
.jsonl+ subagents directory, generates new UUID
