Purpose
This tool provides a visual, terminal-based interface for managing and searching local Claude Code sessions. It replaces the default UUID-based session list with a readable, searchable split-pane UI.

Security Assessment
Risk Rating: Medium

The tool extensively uses synchronous shell command execution (`execSync`) to interact with your system. It accesses the user's home directory (`os.homedir`) and reads environment variables, which is necessary to locate and read local Claude Code conversation files. It also performs destructive file system operations (`fs.rmSync`), which could be dangerous if manipulated or if a bug exists. No hardcoded secrets or outbound network requests were detected, meaning all processing is handled locally on your machine.

Quality Assessment
The project is actively maintained, with its most recent push occurring today. It claims an MIT license in the README badges, though the automated scan failed to find an actual license file in the repository, creating a minor legal ambiguity. Community trust is currently low but growing, sitting at 13 GitHub stars. As an open-source local utility, it provides a solid foundation for developer workflows, but the lack of a formally committed license file is an oversight.

Verdict
Use with caution — it is locally contained and actively updated, but developers should review the shell execution and file deletion logic before installing.
SUMMARY

A beautiful terminal UI for Claude Code sessions — built for local-first, AI-native developer workflows.

The Problem

Claude Code's /resume gives you a wall of UUIDs:

If you use Claude Code as part of a real development loop, session history stops being archive data and becomes working context. You need to find old agent work by repo, topic, and intent — not by opaque IDs.

? Select a conversation
  3ee0f33a-b882-424f-9ba4-260342e4dd5b - 4/3/2026, 10:53:41 AM

  ...200 more UUIDs...

Good luck finding that session where Claude fixed your auth bug last Tuesday.

The Solution

claude-starter

Beautiful split-pane UI with Tokyo Night colors. The left panel shows every session with project, time, and topic. The right panel previews the full conversation. Not UUIDs — your actual words.

claude-starter is built for developers treating coding agents as part of a daily workflow: keep everything local, cut resume friction, and make past conversations actually reusable.

🔍 Search — The Killer Feature

Press / and start typing. That's it. No Enter needed.

Searches across everything — project names, Git branches, conversation content. Results update as you type, ↑↓ to navigate instantly.

  • auth → all auth-related sessions
  • refactor → that cleanup from last week
  • web-app fix → bug fixes in a specific project

No modes. No confirmation. Just type and go.

✨ New Session Launch a fresh conversation in one keystroke
🔍 Instant Search Fuzzy search across everything
📂 Project Filter Press p to filter by project
⚡ One-Key Resume Arrow, Enter, you're back in the conversation
📋 Session Preview Full metadata + conversation history in the right panel
🔀 Sort Modes Sort by time, size, messages, or project
📎 Copy ID Press c to copy session ID
🔒 Permission Modes Press m to configure, d for quick danger-mode resume
✏️ Rename Sessions Press r to rename, supports CJK input
🗑️ Delete Sessions Press x to remove unwanted sessions
⌨️ Vim Keybindings j/k navigate, g/G jump to top/bottom

Install

npm install -g claude-starter

Or install from source:

git clone https://github.com/Bojun-Vvibe/claude-starter.git
cd claude-starter
npm install
npm link

Then run:

claude-starter

CLI Options

claude-starter              # Launch interactive TUI
claude-starter --list [N]   # Print latest N sessions (default: 30)
claude-starter --version    # Show version
claude-starter --update     # Update to the latest version
claude-starter --help       # Show help

Keyboard Shortcuts

Key Action
↑ ↓ / j k Navigate sessions
Enter Start new / resume selected session
n New session
d Resume with bypassPermissions (danger mode)
m Permission mode picker
r Rename session
/ Search
Backspace Edit search, auto-exit when empty
Esc Clear filter
p Filter by project
s Cycle sort mode (time/size/messages/project)
c Copy session ID
x / Delete Delete session
g / G Jump to top / bottom
Ctrl-D / Ctrl-U Page down / up

痛点

用过 Claude Code 的 /resume 吗？它给你的是这样一坨东西：

? Select a conversation
  3ee0f33a-b882-424f-9ba4-260342e4dd5b - 4/3/2026, 10:53:41 AM
  87570bab-ee92-4681-9591-54abf2fcb486 - 4/3/2026, 10:18:55 AM
  ...200 个 UUID...

一堆 UUID，没有上下文，无法搜索。想找到上周帮你调过 bug 的那个 session？祝你好运。

解决方案

claude-starter

精美的分屏 UI，Tokyo Night 配色。左侧列表一目了然，右侧实时预览对话详情。不是 UUID，是你真正说过的话。

🔍 搜索 — 杀手级功能

按 / 开始输入，就这么简单。无需按回车。
