detect-forgotten-sessions-post-crash
CommunityDetect Codex and Claude sessions that were likely forgotten after a kernel panic, watchdog timeout, reboot, or crash. Use when the user wants to reconstruct interrupted work, group crash-time sessions by project, determine which sessions were resumed later, and identify likely-forgotten sessions from local transcript files and panic logs.

New community skill: detect-forgotten-sessions-post-crash
After a kernel panic or watchdog timeout, find every Codex and Claude session that was interrupted and never picked back up. Classifies forgotten work, ranks recovery priority, and prints exact resume commands.
- Reads Apple kernel panic files directly rather than guessing crash windows from session mtimes
- Walks ~/.codex/sessions, ~/.claude/projects, and the per-tool history files in one pass
- Classifies every session as forgotten, ambiguous_same_project_follow_on, or continued_topic_match using transcript-tail heuristics
- Recovery priority ranks bigger transcripts, deeper subagent stacks, and sessions closer to the crash first
- Prints exact resume commands per session with the project cwd already baked in (codex resume, claude -r, claude -r --fork-session)
When a Mac kernel panic or hard reboot kills your editor, the session transcripts on disk are usually fine; the work just sits there until somebody notices. This skill scans macOS DiagnosticReports for crash windows, walks the local Codex and Claude transcript stores, and classifies each session inside that window as forgotten, ambiguously continued, or resumed. Triage rules surface the work most worth recovering first: bigger transcripts, deeper subagent stacks, sessions that ended closer to the crash. The output is a ready-to-paste resume command for each project, with the working directory
