description	Migrate your main session context into the current thread

Migrate Session to Thread

This skill copies the main (non-threaded) Claude session into the current thread so you retain full conversation context.

Step 1: Check thread context

Read the MINICLAW_THREAD_ID environment variable.

If it is 0 or empty, tell the user:

This command only works inside a thread. Open a thread first, then send /migrate there.

Stop here.

Step 2: Load sessions

Read the file ~/.miniclaw/data/sessions.json. This is a JSON object mapping session keys to Claude CLI session UUIDs.

Key format:

• "<chatID>" — the main (non-threaded) session
• "<chatID>:<threadID>" — a thread-specific session

Look up the main session using the plain MINICLAW_CHAT_ID value (no colon, no thread suffix).

If no main session exists, tell the user:

No main session found to migrate. There's nothing to copy.

Stop here.

Step 3: Check for existing thread session

Build the thread key: "<MINICLAW_CHAT_ID>:<MINICLAW_THREAD_ID>".

If a session already exists for this thread key, tell the user:

This thread already has a session. Migrating will replace it with the main session's context. Do you want to proceed?

Wait for confirmation before continuing. If the user declines, stop here.

Step 4: Confirm migration

Tell the user what will happen:

I'll copy the main session into this thread. The main session will remain intact so it can still be used in non-threaded mode.

Proceed?

Wait for the user to confirm.

Step 5: Execute migration

1. Read ~/.miniclaw/data/sessions.json again (fresh read in case it changed)
2. Copy the main session UUID to the thread key: set sessions["<chatID>:<threadID>"] = sessions["<chatID>"]
3. Do NOT delete the main session key — keep it so non-threaded mode still works
4. Write the updated JSON back to ~/.miniclaw/data/sessions.json

Step 6: Confirm

Tell the user:

Done. This thread now has the same context as your main session. Your next message here will resume with full history.
