[FEATURE] Claude Code - Session history persistence between sessions
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
Claude Code is great for codebase analysis, but each session starts
fresh with no conversation history.
Unlike Claude.ai web which maintains conversation context, Claude Code
relies only on CLAUDE.md for continuity. This creates a problem:
- Claude Code knows the source code (good)
- But forgets all previous discussion/decisions (bad)
- Claude.ai web remembers conversation (good)
- But doesn't know the source code (bad)
As a paid user, I have to use both tools inefficiently to compensate.
Request: Add session history persistence in Claude Code, similar to
how Claude.ai web maintains conversation history.
Proposed Solution
When I start a new Claude Code session, I want to be able to access
previous conversation history, similar to Claude.ai web.
Ideal experience:
- New session starts, Claude Code automatically loads recent session
history (last N conversations)
- Or a command like /history to load previous sessions
- So I don't have to re-explain context, decisions, and ongoing issues
every single session
Currently I have to use both Claude Code (for source access) and
Claude.ai web (for conversation continuity) together, which is
inefficient and wasteful as a paid user.
