Load Codex Chat History

Overview

Automatically exports and loads Cursor/Codex chat history from local SQLite databases into Claude Code context.

When to Use

• Continue a previous Cursor/Codex conversation in Claude Code
• Reference past AI interactions and prompts
• Migrate context from Cursor to Claude Code
• Review historical coding discussions

How It Works

1. Automatically finds the most recent Cursor workspace
2. Exports aiService.prompts (your questions) and aiService.generations (AI responses)
3. Formats the data for easy reading and context loading
4. Provides summaries and allows filtering by topic/time

Usage

Simply invoke this skill and it will:

• Export the latest chat history to ~/codex_chat_prompts.json and ~/codex_chat_generations.json
• Create a readable summary at ~/codex_chat_summary.txt
• Load the most recent conversations into context

Data Locations

Cursor stores chat history in:

~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage/<workspace-id>/state.vscdb

Tables used:

• ItemTable with keys:
  • aiService.prompts - User's questions/prompts
  • aiService.generations - AI's responses

Output Format

The exported JSON contains:

• prompts: Array of your questions with timestamps and UUIDs
• generations: Array of AI responses with type (apply/composer) and descriptions

Example Queries After Loading

You can ask Claude to:

• "Summarize the last 5 conversations about Vue.js"
• "Continue the discussion about the permission.ts issue"
• "What was the solution we found for the runtime error?"
• "List all bugs we fixed in the past week"

Automation

This skill can be called automatically when:

• Starting a new Claude Code session
• Switching between workspaces
• Need arises to reference past conversations

Notes

• Only works if Cursor/Codex has been used on this machine
• Requires access to ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/
• Data is local only, no API calls needed
• Multiple workspaces are supported (uses most recent)
