half-clone
The half-clone skill creates a new conversation containing only the latter half of the current discussion, removing earlier messages to reduce token consumption while keeping recent work intact. Use this when a conversation grows long and you want to start fresh with only the latest context preserved.
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ykdojo/claude-code-tips /tmp/half-clone && cp -r /tmp/half-clone/skills/half-clone ~/.claude/skills/half-cloneSKILL.md
Clone the later half of the current conversation, discarding earlier context to reduce token usage while preserving recent work. Steps: 1. Get the current session ID and project path: `tail -1 ~/.claude/history.jsonl | jq -r '[.sessionId, .project] | @tsv'` 2. Find half-clone-conversation.sh with bash: `find ~/.claude -name "half-clone-conversation.sh" 2>/dev/null | sort -V | tail -1` - This finds the script whether installed via plugin or manual symlink - Uses version sort to prefer the latest version if multiple exist 3. Preview the conversation to verify the session ID: `<script-path> --preview <session-id> <project-path>` - Check that the first and last messages match the current conversation 4. Run the clone: `<script-path> <session-id> <project-path>` - Always pass the project path from the history entry, not the current working directory 5. The script prints the new session ID (the `New session: <id>` line). Give the user the exact command to resume it directly, no picker needed: ``` claude --resume <new-session-id> ``` The script automatically appends a reference to the original conversation at the end of the cloned file. (The new session is also marked `[HALF-CLONE <timestamp>]`, e.g. `[HALF-CLONE Jan 7 14:30]`, so `claude -r` and picking it works as a fallback.)
Clone the current conversation so the user can branch off and try a different approach.
Analyze GitHub Actions failures and identify root causes
Write or update a handoff document so the next agent with fresh context can continue this work.
Fetch and summarize Hacker News / hckrnews.com top stories, articles, and their comment threads. Use when asked to summarize HN front-page stories, a specific HN story plus its discussion, or "the top N from hckrnews".
Full-text search across all of the user's GitHub repos (including private ones) using a local mirror and ripgrep. Use for "where did I put X", "which repo has X", or any search spanning the user's repos - gh search code / the REST API cannot reliably search private repos.
Clone the last quarter of the current conversation, discarding earlier context to reduce token usage while preserving recent work.
Fetch content from Reddit via its JSON API using a browser session (DuckDuckGo-hop unlock). Use when accessing Reddit URLs, researching topics on Reddit, or when Reddit returns 403/blocked errors.
Review recent conversations to find improvements for CLAUDE.md files.
