Like fzf or atuin, but for your Claude Code prompts.

Your best prompts are buried across dozens of Claude Code sessions. This tool lets you instantly search and reuse them instead of rewriting from scratch.

npm install -g claude-code-search

ccs                     # Launch interactive TUI
ccs -l                  # List recent prompts
ccs -s "refactor"       # Search for "refactor"
ccs -l -j               # Output as JSON
ccs -l -n 50            # List last 50 prompts
ccs -p /path/to/proj    # Filter by project path

Select a prompt and it's copied to your clipboard, ready to paste.

Extract insights from your prompt history:

ccs -l | claude "what patterns do you see in how I prompt?"
ccs -s "refactor" -j | claude "summarize these prompts"

• Fuzzy search - Find prompts by any words they contain
• Relevance ranking - Results sorted by match quality, not just date
• Split-pane preview - See full content before selecting
• Quick jump - Press 1-9 to instantly select
• Filter modes - Search globally or within current directory
• Non-interactive mode - Use with -l or -s for scripting
• Color support - Respects NO_COLOR and FORCE_COLOR

Options:
  -l, --list            List all prompts (non-interactive)
  -s, --search <query>  Search prompts with query (non-interactive)
  -j, --json            Output as JSON (use with -l or -s)
  -n, --limit <n>       Limit number of results (default: 100)
  -p, --project <path>  Filter by project path
  --projects-dir <dir>  Projects directory (default: ~/.claude/projects)
  -v, --version         Show version number
  -h, --help            Show help

By default, ccs reads from ~/.claude/projects/. You can override this to use a different location (e.g., a synced backup):

CLI flag (highest precedence):

ccs --projects-dir ~/backup/claude/projects

Environment variable:

export CCS_PROJECT_DIR=~/backup/claude/projects
ccs

The CLI flag takes precedence over the environment variable.

• Node.js >= 18
• Claude Code session data (defaults to ~/.claude/projects/, configurable via --projects-dir or CCS_PROJECT_DIR)
