How to Use the Organized Structure

Finding Sessions by Date

Navigate to organized/sessions-by-date/ and browse by date:

# Example: Find January 2026 sessions
cd organized/sessions-by-date/
ls -1 | grep "2026-01"

# Result:
# 2026-01-08_session-80ae4b/
# 2026-01-09_session-8dbd8b/
# 2026-01-10_session-9b0508/
# ... etc

Session Directory Structure

Each session directory contains:

• conversation.jsonl - Main conversation file (required)
• agents/ - Sub-agent conversations (if present)
• tools/ - Tool result files (if present)

Accessing Session Content

# Read main conversation
cat organized/sessions-by-date/2026-01-16_session-868026/conversation.jsonl

# List agent files
ls organized/sessions-by-date/2026-01-16_session-868026/agents/

# View tool results
ls organized/sessions-by-date/2026-01-16_session-868026/tools/

Legacy Content

Orphaned Agents (24 files)

Agent files found at root level without identifiable parent sessions. These are preserved in legacy-original/orphaned-agents/ with a README explaining their status.

Reason for Orphaning: No matching session UUID found in sessions-index.json or directory structure.

Flat Sessions (1 file)

One session file that could not be mapped to metadata was archived in legacy-original/flat-sessions/. This file was not present in the sessions-index.json metadata.

---

Verification Commands

Verify File Counts

cd organized/

# Count session directories
find sessions-by-date/ -maxdepth 1 -type d | wc -l
# Expected: 20 (19 sessions + sessions-by-date dir)

# Count all conversation files
find sessions-by-date/ -name "conversation.jsonl" | wc -l
# Expected: 19

# Count agent files
find sessions-by-date/ -name "agent-*.jsonl" | wc -l
# Expected: 58

# Count tool result files
find sessions-by-date/ -name "toolu_*.txt" | wc -l
# Expected: 56

Verify No Data Loss

cd ../  # Back to claude-projects root

# No conversation files should remain at root
ls -1 *.jsonl 2>/dev/null | wc -l
# Expected: 0 (only sessions-index.json)

# No agent files should remain at root
ls -1 agent-*.jsonl 2>/dev/null | wc -l
# Expected: 0

Verify Total Size

du -sh organized/
# Expected: ~54M

---

Metadata Preservation

The original sessions-index.json file has been:

1. Preserved at the original location (claude-projects/sessions-index.json)
2. Copied to organized/_metadata/sessions-index.json for reference

This metadata contains:

• Session UUIDs
• Creation and modification timestamps
• First prompt text (truncated)
• Message counts
• Git branch information
• Project paths

---

Next Steps (Optional)

1. Verify Original Files (Recommended)

Before removing original files, verify the organized structure:

# Compare file counts
cd organized/
find . -type f -name "*.jsonl" -o -name "*.txt" | wc -l
# Should match original count (158 files)

# Check largest file
find . -name "*.jsonl" -exec ls -lh {} \; | sort -k5 -hr | head -1
# Should show 11.23 MB file

2. Remove Empty UUID Directories (Safe)

Empty UUID directories can be safely removed:

cd ../  # Back to claude-projects root
find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -empty -exec rmdir {} \;

3. Archive Original Metadata (Optional)

If satisfied with reorganization, you could move the original sessions-index.json:

mv sessions-index.json organized/_metadata/sessions-index-original.json

---

Rollback Procedure (If Needed)

If you need to restore the original structure:

1. The reorganization used shutil.move(), so files are MOVED, not copied
2. All original files are in organized/
3. To restore, reverse the moves:
   • Move sessions-by-date/*/conversation.jsonl back to root as UUID.jsonl
   • Move agents/ and tools/ back to UUID/subagents/ and UUID/tool-results/
   • Move legacy-original/orphaned-agents/* back to root

Note: A rollback script was NOT created because the reorganization is non-destructive and the original structure can be manually reconstructed if needed.

Technical Details

Script Information

• Script: D:\ClaudeTools\scripts\reorganize-conversations.py
• Language: Python 3
• Dependencies: Standard library only (json, os, shutil, pathlib, datetime)
• Execution Time: <5 seconds
• Memory Usage: Minimal (streaming file operations)

Safety Features

• No file deletions
• No file modifications (content unchanged)
• Preserves all metadata
• Creates documentation
• Error tracking (none encountered)

Algorithm

1. Load sessions-index.json metadata
2. Create organized directory structure
3. For each session in metadata:
   • Parse creation date
   • Create YYYY-MM-DD_session-XXXXXX/ directory
   • Move UUID.jsonl to conversation.jsonl
   • Move UUID/subagents/ to agents/
   • Move UUID/tool-results/ to tools/
4. Move orphaned agent files to legacy-original/orphaned-agents/
5. Archive unmapped sessions to legacy-original/flat-sessions/
6. Generate documentation
