- ThenSearch session database for context
- ResultDisplay session logs and resume

Query a database of past coding agent sessions to retrieve command history, earlier decisions, and lost context. Search across stored interaction transcripts to find relevant code discussions, then load the full historical session back into your terminal environment.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Query the local session database whenever the user requests past coding history, pre-compaction prompts, or previous task context. Search session records using keyword filters and return matching sessions with timestamps and summaries. When the user selects a session, output the transcript or the command needed to resume it. Never clear or delete stored session records without explicit user confirmation.
