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 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.
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".
Recommend which Claude Code version to run, or whether to update. Use when asked which Claude Code version is best/safe, whether to update now, whether a recent release is buggy, or what changed since the installed version.
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.
