Claude Code Projects

Every time you run claude in a directory it will create a Claude Code Project, stored under ~/.claude/projects. Project names are based on the folder location (e.g. -home-andrew-Sites-grocery-share-price-monitoring).

• cd -- <project-name> to cd into the project folder under ~/.claude/projects.
• Each session of a project is stored as a .json/.jsonl file. The name of the file is the session_id.
• Memory is stored in the project as well (a memory subfolder).

Session JSONL record types include:

• File history snapshot: {type: "file-history-snapshot", messageId, snapshot: {messageId, trackedFileBackups, timestamp}, isSnapshotUpdate}
• User message: {type: "user", uuid, parentUuid, isSidechain, timestamp, userType, cwd, sessionId, version, gitBranch, message: {role, content}, isMeta}
• System command: {type: "system", subtype: "local_command", content, level: "info|warning|error", timestamp, uuid, isMeta, userType, cwd, sessionId, version, gitBranch}
