A clickable table of contents of the whole current session: topics grouped by category, with timestamps, in a pane

A table of contents for your whole Claude Code session, in a pane.
The Contents pane lists every topic you have talked about in the current session. Topics are grouped into categories. Each topic shows the time it started, a bold title and a dim one-line summary. Press ▸ to list the messages inside a topic. New messages appear by themselves as you talk.
For everyday use, read the user manual. This README is the full reference, including how the mod works inside.

hooks/hooks.json that lists TypeScript modules). This plugin was built and tested with Claude Code 2.1.289.pwsh) or the built-in Windows PowerShell 5.1 (powershell). The plugin tries pwsh first, then powershell.pwsh) and have it on your PATH. Without it the pane cannot read anything. See also the macOS/Linux note under Troubleshooting.PowerShell first. Windows already has it. On macOS and Linux, install PowerShell 7 so that
pwshis on yourPATH. Without it the pane stays empty.
The repository root is the plugin. Clone it:
git clone https://github.com/ewxgwy1987/claude-code-session-toc.git
Then pick one way of loading it.
A. One session. Start Claude Code with:
claude --plugin-dir /path/to/claude-code-session-toc
B. Every session, including the desktop app and Remote Control sessions started on that machine. Add this to your user settings, ~/.claude/settings.json. Project settings are ignored for this setting.
{
"env": {
"CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_DIRS": "/path/to/claude-code-session-toc"
}
}
~ is allowed.C:/mods/claude-code-session-toc.; on Windows and : elsewhere.C. Plugin marketplace. The repository is also a marketplace:
/plugin marketplace add ewxgwy1987/claude-code-session-toc
/plugin install session-toc@claude-code-session-toc
To check that it loaded, type /session-toc. The Contents pane should open.
Type /session-toc. The pane opens with the title Contents. The command runs immediately, even while Claude is busy.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/session-toc | Opens the pane and checks for new messages. Groups anything not yet grouped (one Haiku call, only if there is something new). |
/session-toc rebuild | Opens the pane and regroups the whole session from scratch (one Haiku call). |
/session-toc wrap | Switches between wrapped and single-line text. |
/session-toc wrap on / wrap off | Turns wrapping on or off. |
Nothing is grouped until you ask. The first /session-toc (or the first press of Refresh) reads the transcript and makes one Haiku call to group it. While it works the pane shows "Reading the transcript…" and then "Grouping topics with Claude (one call)…". After that, the result is saved and comes back by itself when you resume the session.
New messages show up at the top of the pane in a yellow section, "New · N not grouped yet", newest first. This happens without any model call. Once autoGroupEvery messages are waiting, one Haiku call files them into topics and the section empties. You can also press Refresh at any time.
Press ▸ next to a topic to list its messages. Press ▾ to close it. Only one topic is open at a time. Each message row has its own timestamp:
You: … — a prompt you typed (including messages typed while Claude was still working).Command: … — a slash command and its arguments.Claude: … (dim) — the start of Claude's first text reply to that message.Every timestamp is a button that tries to scroll the chat to that message. Read the "Jumping" section below: in many places the host does not allow it, and the click copies the message's opening words instead.
Two options are declared in plugin.json (userConfig). Change them in /config. They are stored in settings.json under pluginConfigs["session-toc"].options. Changing an option reloads the plugin.
| Option | Type | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
wrapText | boolean | false | Start with wrapped text instead of single lines. The Wrap button and /session-toc wrap override it for the current session. |
autoGroupEvery | number | 5 | Group new messages automatically once this many are waiting. 0 means only when you press Refresh or run /session-toc. |
scripts/extract.ps1 reads the session's transcript file: ~/.claude/projects/<project>/<sessionId>.jsonl, or the same path under CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR when that variable is set. If the same session id exists in several project folders, it takes the newest file.
It prints one compact JSON object. Each entry holds:
user or command) and the message id;-MaxChars);cli or app);It keeps your prompts, messages typed while Claude was mid-turn (stored in the transcript as queued_command attachments, and not counted twice when they reappear later as normal rows), and slash commands. Images become [image]. It skips sub-agent (sidechain) rows, meta rows, compact summaries, tool results, system reminders, local command output, task and system notifications, messages from other Claude sessions, and "[Request interrupted" markers.
A long session takes about 1.4 seconds to read.
The entries are sent to Haiku (effort low, at most 4096 output tokens, 3-minute timeout) as a numbered list. Each line is at most 200 characters, with up to 120 characters of the reply. Times in the prompt are UTC. The list is fenced between markers and marked as untrusted data, so instructions inside your messages are not followed.
first and last indices. Titles are at most 8 words, summaries at most 20.The answer is checked carefully:
categories array is used, even inside prose or a code fence.If the answer cannot be used, the previous table stays as it was.
The result is saved in the plugin's own store under the key toc:<sessionId>. When a session starts, a saved table is loaded straight into the pane. No model call is needed to show it again.
Two events trigger a re-read of the transcript. Neither calls the model by itself:
prompt.submit — about 1.5 seconds after you send a prompt, so the prompt has been saved to the file;session.measure — about 0.5 seconds after it fires. It fires at the end of each turn (so Claude's reply text appears), and also when a rate-limit reading changes.Only one read or build runs at a time. Requests that arrive meanwhile are merged into one more run afterwards, so a Refresh press is never lost.
The batching rule. After a background read, Haiku is called only when the session already has a table and at least autoGroupEvery entries are not yet grouped (and autoGroupEvery is not 0). A session that was never built is never grouped in the background.
The toggle column is 3 characters and the timestamp column is fixed at 21. The description column takes the rest of the pane width (at least 20 characters) and is recomputed on every redraw, so the pane follows resizing. With Wrap on, long text runs over several lines; otherwise it is cut with an ellipsis.
A timestamp press is handled inside the ui.press hook, because a host only moves the chat in answer to your own input. The plugin asks $.ui.scroll to bring the message into view. It tries several ids in turn: the row id it saw when the chat drew that message (learned from UserMessage and AssistantMessage renders by matching their opening text), then the transcript's message id, then the reply and the first tool call.
Limitation. The Claude desktop app refuses this ("transcript not scrollable here"). According to the plugin API, only the terminal's fullscreen layout lets a plugin scroll the chat, and that has not yet been confirmed in live testing. When the host refuses, the click copies the message's first 60 characters to your clipboard so you can search for them. If copying fails, a toast shows the words instead.
These make one Haiku call each:
/session-toc or Refresh in a session (all messages)./session-toc or Refresh, only when there are messages not yet grouped (only those messages are sent)./session-toc rebuild or Rebuild (all messages, every time).autoGroupEvery ungrouped messages, in a session that already has a table.These never call a model:
autoGroupEvery new messages.autoGroupEvery set to 0.The first build sends at most about 60,000 characters of listing plus a short instruction. Updates send only the new lines. The output is capped at 4096 tokens. Calls go through your normal Claude Code login and count toward your usage like any other Haiku request.
~/.claude/projects (or $CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/projects). Check that variable if you moved your Claude Code folder.pwsh nor powershell could be run. Install PowerShell 7 and make sure it is on your PATH.CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, else in ~/.claude (PowerShell's $HOME, on every OS).autoGroupEvery more messages arrive, so a failing call is never repeated on every message./clear) starts with an empty table.[Refresh]-style text.

| Path | Purpose |
|---|---|
.claude-plugin/plugin.json | Manifest and the two options. |
hooks/hooks.json | Lists the hooks module. |
hooks/register.tsx | Command, pane, background loading, jumping. |
hooks/group.ts | Prompts, answer parsing and merging. |
scripts/extract.ps1 | Transcript reader. Keep it ASCII-only (5.1 reads BOM-less files as ANSI). |
types/index.d.ts | The plugin's state and data types. |
tests/*.test.ts | Tests for grouping and the pane. |
Run these from the repository root. Check the manifest, run the tests, and type-check:
claude plugin validate .
claude plugin test .
npx -p typescript tsc -p . --noEmit
tsconfig.json extends ./.claude-plugin/types/tsconfig.json. Claude Code writes that folder (its API declarations for your build) into the plugin whenever it loads it, so load the plugin once, for example with --plugin-dir, before type-checking. .claude-plugin/types/ is in .gitignore.
While a session loads the folder through --plugin-dir or CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_DIRS, saving a file reloads the mod straight away.
Run the extractor by hand, from the repository root, to see what the pane reads:
pwsh -NoProfile -File scripts/extract.ps1 -SessionId <id>
Other parameters: -TranscriptPath <file> reads a given file, -After <ISO time> keeps only later entries, and -MaxChars <n> changes the cut length (default 300). On error it prints {"error":"…"} and exits with code 2.
