[FEATURE] Reviewable Session History for Claude Code
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
When Claude Code generates multiple files quickly (especially during multi-step operations), the Ctrl+O review prompts fly by too fast to catch. Once you press Esc or miss a prompt, there's no way to go back and review what was created. This is particularly problematic for:
- Files created in /tmp (not git-tracked)
- Multi-file refactoring operations
- Complex workflows with intermediate artifacts
Proposed Solution
Add a navigable session history that allows users to:
- Navigate backward through history after pressing Esc (already implemented)
- Toggle file content expansion/collapse on demand (e.g. ctrl-o)
Alternative Solutions
Provide a command like claude-code --show-last-session that displays all files that were created/modified in the most recent run, with their full paths and option to view contents.
Why This Matters: Claude Code often creates temporary files or intermediate artifacts that aren't git-tracked. Without the ability to review these after the fact, it's easy to miss them or have to search for them (cumbersome).
