Installed the real PyPI package and it crashed immediately with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'click' (a missing dependency in the package's own metadata); after manually adding click, aise files search --pattern SKILL.md against real local session history returned 4 precisely-tracked files with edit counts and session IDs, versus 106 noisy full-text hits from a manual grep baseline — genuinely useful once the broken install is patched by hand.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 3/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 9/10
  • Docs & honesty 3/5

What AI Session Tools does

Wraps the `aise` command-line tool for searching AI session transcripts, recovering files the AI wrote but that went missing from disk, detecting where the user corrected the AI, and exporting sessions to markdown. Triggers on requests like 'find that file from last week', 'recover context after compaction', or 'turn AI mistakes into rules'. Requires the separate `ai-session-tools` PyPI package to be installed — the skill folder only contains the SKILL.md and a reference doc, not the CLI itself.

How to install AI Session Tools

git clone https://github.com/ahundt/autorun
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r autorun/plugins/autorun/skills/ai-session-tools ~/.claude/skills/ai-session-tools
# REQUIRED extra step, not just a folder copy: pip install ai-session-tools click  (docs suggest 'uv tool install ai-session-tools', but the PyPI package is missing a declared 'click' dependency and crashes on first run until it's installed manually)

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger AI Session Tools

  • /ai-session-tools CLI to search, recover, and analyze Claude Code / AI Studio / Gemini CLI session history.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • find that config file I had Claude write last week then lost
  • recover my context after this session got compacted
  • turn the mistakes I corrected Claude on into standing rules

Frequently asked questions

Is the AI Session Tools skill free?
Yes. The skill itself is free from ahundt/autorun. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
Does AI Session Tools work with Claude Code?
We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 16, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup. Installed the real PyPI package and it crashed immediately with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'click' (a missing dependency in the package's own metadata); after manually adding click, aise files search --pattern SKILL.md against real local session history returned 4 precisely-tracked files with edit counts and session IDs, versus 106 noisy full-text hits from a manual grep baseline — genuinely useful once the broken install is patched by hand.
What is the AI Session Tools SkillProof Score?
8.0/10 — installs cleanly 3/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 3/5.
How do I install AI Session Tools?
Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
Can I use AI Session Tools with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
