Searches your past Claude Code sessions by words and by meaning. A local SQLite index and local Ollama embeddings, no cloud, no daemon.

Search your past Claude Code sessions by words and by meaning. It runs on your machine: transcripts stay on disk, vectors come from a local Ollama, and the index is one SQLite file.
Claude gets a search tool and you get /lookback. When you ask "didn't we fix this before?", the best matches ride along with your prompt.
lookback doctor prints both and warns about a Bun that is too old.brew install sqlite. Apple's SQLite, which Bun uses there, cannot load extensions, so the mod uses Homebrew's. LOOKBACK_SQLITE_LIB names another libsqlite3.dylib. The SQLite version on macOS is then Homebrew's.ollama pull nomic-embed-text.Without Ollama, search still works on words. lookback doctor says which part is down.
| You | What happens |
|---|---|
| Start a session | The index updates in the background. Only new transcript lines are read. |
| Any session | The system prompt gets one short section that says when to search: before debugging an error or redoing work, and when you imply the work happened before. The tool sits in the prompt's own tool list, not behind tool search, so Claude reads its description. |
| Start a session in a folder with history | When sessionDigest is on, the system prompt lists the 5 latest sessions run in that exact folder that have a title: day, folder, id and title, then a line on how the session ended. A session with no title is mostly one another session drove, and is left out. The section asks Claude to open one by its id before acting when it bears on the next request, and to say in one line (lookback: <what> — <how used> (<id>)) when recalled history helped. |
| Ask about earlier work | When autoRecall is on, up to 2 sessions are added beside the prompt as <lookback-recall> data, each with up to 2 turns. The new turns of the current session are read into the index first. Its earlier turns are searched too, marked this session, earlier, and count 1.5 times as much. Only the exchange just before the question is left out. Claude is told to use such a turn for what a compaction took out of its context, and to pass over what it still sees. The words of the last exchange name the topic, so "did u rebuild it?" finds what "it" was. What Claude said ranks well above your own prompts. An entry is shown only when it holds 3 topic words, so many prompts add nothing. It takes about 0.5 s to 1.2 s. A prompt counts when it holds a cue that points back: a question about what you or Claude did ("did u rebuild it?", "why did we remove that"), an earlier result ("what was the v5 accuracy"), something said or shown ("like you said", "the example I gave you"), another session, "last time", or a request to put something back. Texting spelling is read ("u", "didnt", "howd"). Code, quotes, links and "what if" clauses are not read. |
| Send any prompt | When autoRecall is on and the prompt has 25 or more characters, it is checked by meaning. A past user or assistant text from the same folder that scores at least 0.80 cosine similarity and shares at least 2 uncommon words with the prompt adds up to 2 sessions as <lookback-recall> data. A session already shown is not shown again. About 3% to 7% of real prompts pass. The check adds about 0.15 s once the embedding server is warm, and gives up after 1.5 s of embedding (4 s in all) with no output. |
| Read or change a file | When fileNotes is on, the first call in a session that names a file changed by 2 or more earlier sessions carries one note as <lookback-file> data: how many sessions changed it, and the latest 3 with what was asked. It covers the built-in Read, Edit and Write and the tools named in fileTools. Each file is noted once per session. A relative path is read from the session's folder, so a file with the same name in another project does not count. |
| A shell command fails | When errorHints is on, Claude gets what past sessions ran after the same error, as <lookback-fix> data with the result. Each error is looked up once per session. |
/lookback <question> | Prints the matching sessions, each match inside its turn. A last line names the offset of the next page. |
/lookback show <id> [offset] | Reads one session in order. The first 8 characters of the id, as a search prints them, are enough. |
/lookback recent | The 10 latest sessions of every folder, newest first, each with its title. |
/lookback fix <error> | Sessions that hit the same error, with what each ran or changed and how that turn ended. |
/lookback how <words> | The shell commands that hold every word, the most run first. |
/lookback blame <file> | The sessions that changed a file, with what you had asked for. The end of a path is enough. |
/lookback files <id> | The files one session touched, the most changed first. |
/lookback forget <id> | Removes a session from the index and keeps it out. forget --undo <id> lets it back in; forget --list shows what is forgotten. |
/lookback, stats, doctor, index | Index size, health check, or a manual update. |
Claude calls mcp__lookback__search | Same search, with query, and optional project, since (12h, 30d, 2w), limit and offset. mode is search, fix, how or blame; session reads one session; kind narrows a search or a session read to some kinds. A search also covers the earlier turns of the current session, read into the index just before, and marks them this session, earlier; the turn in progress is left out. So after a compaction Claude can look up what the summary dropped. fix and how leave the current session out. Claude cannot forget a session; only you can. |
fix and how in /lookback fall back to a normal search when they find nothing, so "how did we fix the build" still works as a question.
A result reads as the session went:
2026-10-01 app bbbb2222 Gallery thumbnails
changed app/requirements.txt
asked Make the thumbnails for the gallery
cmd pip install -r requirements.txt
ended Pillow is in the requirements and installed; the gallery thumbnails are made.
reply good, commit it
The first line ends with the session's title, when it has one. asked is the prompt that opened the turn, the lines with a kind are the matches, ended is the last thing Claude said in the turn, and reply is what you typed next. The reply is the evidence of whether the answer held: "commit it" and "no, still broken" tell two different stories about the same ended line.
| Option | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
limit | 5 | Sessions a search returns (1 to 15). |
autoRecall | on | Add matches beside prompts that ask about the past, and beside prompts that match a past session by meaning. |
autoIndex | on | Update the index when a session starts. |
errorHints | on | After a failed shell command, look up what past sessions ran next. |
sessionDigest | on | List the folder's 5 latest sessions in the system prompt at session start. |
fileNotes | on | Note a file's history the first time a session touches it. |
fileTools | empty | MCP tools or whole servers whose calls read or change files, split by commas: mcp__semantic-cache-mcp for a server, mcp__myserver__edit for one tool. A lookback index run by hand with no LOOKBACK_FILE_TOOLS keeps this setting; an empty LOOKBACK_FILE_TOOLS= clears it. |
embeddingModel | nomic-embed-text | Any model the server offers. A new model rebuilds the vectors. |
embeddingUrl | http://localhost:11434/v1 | An OpenAI-style endpoint. |

Asked: … Chose: …. A title row names its session; a title you typed is kept over one Claude Code wrote. A row copied into another file by a resumed session is stored once, by its row id. Other meta rows, compaction summaries, thinking blocks with no readable text, and injected blocks (<system-reminder>, <lookback-recall>) are dropped.user, assistant, thinking, error, cmd and edit. A text over 4,000 characters is stored as up to 4 entries, split at paragraph ends, so a search can match its end. Entries of every kind are cut into up to 4 chunks of 1,200 characters and embedded with the search_document: prefix. Vectors are stored as 32-bit floats; the sqlite-vector extension keeps an 8-bit copy for fast scans.search_query: prefix). Each search gives its best prose (user, assistant, thinking, error) and its best code (cmd, edit) apart, so neither can fill every place. The two lists are merged by score: each score is scaled between a fixed floor and the best of its list, and the two are added with a balance set for the question. The balance is even when both lists stand out alike, and leans toward the list whose best entries stand out more: an exact name gives a word list with a clear leader, and a loose question gives one where everything matches alike. Entries are grouped by session, weighted by kind and age (90-day half-life), and repeats of the same text are shown once. A session where something said matched shows one line of code at most. A session in a project whose folder name holds a word of the question counts for 1.3 times as much, so "the garden game" finds glowseed-garden. A session that scores under 40% of the best one is left out, unless one of its entries holds every word of the question. A folder the question names is also searched apart, for up to 3 folders, since its sessions may never say its name. The sessions of a page are picked by score and listed newest first; --best lists the best first.Words about time are read in local time and are not searched for. A span limits the search: today, yesterday, last night, a weekday, this week, last week, this month, last month, in september, 3 days ago, the last 2 weeks, sept 21, 21 sep 2026, 2026-09-21, and a time such as at 3pm (an hour each side). since, after and before give one bound, and two of them a range, as do between sept 21 and sept 25 and from sept 21 to sept 25. Every time in a question is read: two or more are covered from the first start to the last end, so yesterday or last week is the whole of both. A time of day is dropped when the question names more than one time. A date with no year is the latest one that has come. latest, newest, most recent, recently and last session ask for the newest work: sessions that score half of the best one, and those run in a folder the question names, are listed newest first, without sub-agent runs. A question about time alone ("what did we do yesterday") lists the sessions of that time, each with the last thing Claude said. Text in quotes or backticks is never read for time, and --since wins over a span in the question.
asked), the matches, the last thing Claude said before the next prompt (ended), and that next prompt (reply). A session also lists up to three files it changed, the most changed first. A text is shown once in a session.Questions about earlier work. recall --asked is the search above with four changes. It first reads the new lines of the asking session's transcripts and embeds them for up to 2.5 s. It takes up to 8 topic words from the last prompt (600 characters) and the last answer (2,000 characters) before the question: words said often there and held by 3 or more entries but at most 5% of them, leaving out numbers and hashes. Those words are matched beside the words of the question. An entry is kept only when it holds 3 of the topic words and the question's own uncommon words together, or all of them when there are fewer. Prompts weigh 0.4 and Claude's answers 1.15. The asking session is searched up to its last prompt, since the last exchange would match its own words.
Secrets. Before an entry is stored, keys and passwords in it are replaced by a marker such as [redacted:github-token]. Covered: private key blocks, keys of GitHub, Anthropic, OpenAI, AWS, Slack, Google and Stripe, JWTs, bearer tokens, passwords in URLs, and values given to a name like API_KEY or password when the value looks generated. The index never holds the secret; the transcript on disk is not changed. lookback stats counts the entries that were redacted. A secret of a shape not listed here is not caught.
Files. Each tool call that names a file is recorded: the path, the session, the time, and whether the call read or changed the file. The built-in Read, Edit, Write, MultiEdit and NotebookEdit are always recorded. An MCP tool is recorded only when fileTools names it or its server, since nothing in a transcript says which MCP tools work on files. The path is read from the input keys file_path, path, notebook_path and paths. A tool counts as a change when its name holds a word like edit, write or delete; any other counts as a read. When fileTools changes, the next index run reads the transcripts again for files and edits only; the other entries and the vectors stay.
Edits. Each change one of those tools makes is also an entry of kind edit: the path, then the text replaced after - and the text written after +, each cut at 1,800 characters. A batch of edits gives one entry for each pair. --kind edit searches them alone.
Sub-agents. A sub-agent's transcript is indexed as its own session, named by the agent's id and linked to the session that started it. A result from one says sub-agent of <id>. Leaving a session out of a search, or forgetting it, takes its sub-agents with it. stats counts them apart from sessions.
Thinking. A thinking block is an entry of kind thinking when its text is in the transcript. Most are stored as a signature with no text, and those are skipped.
Fix. fix matches on words only, among failed tool results. Each word of the error asked about weighs more the fewer past errors hold it, so TS2345 counts for far more than error. An error counts as the same one when the words it shares carry at least 60% of that weight. For each session it shows the first two commands and the first edit made before the next prompt, then the last thing Claude said in that turn. A session that ran and changed nothing after the error is left out.
Old sessions. Claude Code deletes a transcript after 30 days by default (cleanupPeriodDays). The index keeps what it read, so a session stays searchable after its file is gone. A new version of the mod upgrades the index in place: it reads every transcript still on disk again, and keeps the sessions it can no longer read as they are.
The index uses write-ahead logging, so searches work while an index run writes. Only one index run writes at a time; a second one exits at once.
The 8-bit copy of the vectors is a snapshot. Each index run rebuilds it, which takes well under a second for tens of thousands of vectors. If vectors were stored after the last rebuild, searches scan the full vectors instead: exact, and a few times slower. The full vectors stay in the file, so the copy can be rebuilt, or its format changed, without calling the embedding model again.

Use it before debugging an error or redoing work that may already have been done, and when the user asks what was decided or tried before. An exact error string, function name or path is the strongest query. The earlier turns of this session are searched too, up to the turn in progress, and come back marked `this session, earlier`. Words about time in the query are read, not matched: `yesterday`, `last week`, `since friday`, `sept 21` set the span, `latest` asks for the newest matches, and a query about time alone (`what did we do yesterday`) lists the sessions of that time. Returns the best matching sessions, newest first, each with the start of its id, the files it changed, and every match inside its turn: `asked` is the prompt that opened the turn, `ended` the last thing Claude said in it, and `reply` what the user typed next, which tells whether the answer held.
