[Feature Request] Session Context Persistence

Open kshirol opened this issue 8 months ago • 0 comments

Feature Request: Session Context Persistence

Problem Statement: When Claude Code crashes or is restarted in the same directory, all previous session context is lost. The application re-analyzes the entire repository from scratch, losing any accumulated understanding of the project structure, ongoing work, and conversation history.

Proposed Solution: Implement session context persistence that allows Claude Code to resume from the previous state when reopened in the same directory. This would include:

  • Retaining knowledge of repository structure and codebase understanding
  • Preserving conversation history and context from previous sessions
  • Maintaining awareness of recent changes, tasks, and development focus
  • Restoring the working state rather than starting fresh each time

Expected Benefits:

  • Eliminates redundant repository re-analysis time
  • Provides continuity in development workflows
  • Reduces friction when recovering from crashes or intentional restarts
  • Maintains context for ongoing complex tasks that span multiple sessions

Use Case: A developer working on a large codebase experiences a crash mid-task. Upon restarting Claude Code in the same directory, they can immediately continue their work without needing to re-explain the project context or wait for full repository re-analysis.

claude --continue or claude --resume will do this! https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/cli-usage
