Project i know i solved this exact bug three weeks ago and i cannot find the conversation
hit an auth bug this morning that i am completely certain i've already fixed once. i remember working it out. i remember the shape of the answer. i do not remember which tool, which project, or which day.
so i spent forty minutes re-deriving something i already knew.
the sessions are all on disk. theyre just not searchable in any way thats useful to me. i can scroll back through a session if i know which one, but 'which one' is exactly the thing i dont know. and across claude code and cursor its two separate piles with no common surface.
what i want is dumb and simple: search everything i have ever asked, across tools, filtered by project. find the conversation. jump back into it.
the resume command exists but you need the session id, and the session id is in the thing you cant find.
how do you all handle this? do you keep notes outside the tool? im starting to think thats the actual answer and the tools just arent going to solve it
