Problem Statement

Currently, the claude --resume functionality allows users to restore previous sessions. However, there is no built-in CLI support for managing or deleting these stored sessions.

As a result, users must manually navigate the local filesystem (e.g., ~/.claude/) to locate and remove session files, which is inconvenient and error-prone.

Proposed Solution

Introduce CLI commands to manage resume sessions:

claude sessions list
claude sessions delete <session_id>
claude sessions clear

Delete a specific session

claude sessions delete abc123
Removes the session from local storage
