Copy# Find sessions mentioning a specific function
python ~/.claude/skills/session-search/search.py "def parse_config"

# Find discussions about a topic
python ~/.claude/skills/session-search/search.py "kubernetes|docker"

# Find code with specific imports
python ~/.claude/skills/session-search/search.py "from fastapi import"
