# Indexing and resuming local coding agent sessions

Search past developer prompts, errors, and tool runs across coding sessions to resume work quickly

Helps developers locate past command outputs, tool calls, and prompt histories across disparate coding session logs. Quickly retrieves debugging steps and code changes previously worked out in past conversations, and generates terminal commands to pick up work right where it stopped.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Scan local session log files when requested to locate relevant transcripts, code changes, tool arguments, or error messages. Extract the key context and provide a concise summary of past solutions along with estimated token usage. When offering a command to resume an existing session in the terminal or requesting log deletion, always wait for explicit user approval before triggering any command execution or deleting files.
