How it works

Claude Code stores auto memory for each project under ~/.claude/projects/. Every time you run Claude Code in a directory, it creates a subdirectory there to save project-specific memory like build commands, debugging patterns, and architecture notes.

quickclaude uses this directory structure in reverse — it scans ~/.claude/projects/ to build a list of projects you've used with Claude Code, then lets you pick one and launch claude right there.

1. Scans ~/.claude/projects/ to discover your Claude Code projects
2. Sorts by most recently used, with relative timestamps (e.g. 2h ago)
3. Shows an interactive selection menu
4. Launches claude in the selected directory

Any CLI arguments are forwarded to claude:

quickclaude --resume
# equivalent to: cd <selected-project> && claude --resume

Install

npm install -g quickclaude

Or run without installing:
