Import Claude Code Sessions
Bring sessions you ran in the Claude Code CLI into Nimbalyst so you can browse, search, resume, and continue them in the Agent Window.
How to use
Open File → Import Claude Code Sessions...
The Import dialog scans your Claude Code session storage for sessions tied to the current workspace and shows totals at the top:
Total sessions found
New sessions not yet imported
Updates to sessions you've already imported (Claude Code added more turns since last import)
In Sync sessions that already match what's in Nimbalyst
Search by title, expand the project group, and check the sessions you want to import.
Click Import n Sessions.
Imported sessions show up in the Agent Window session list and the kanban board. You can resume them, link them to tracker items, or open them in a worktree just like any other Nimbalyst session.
What gets imported
Full conversation history including subagent turns
Extended-thinking blocks
Long tool results (inlined so they show up in the transcript)
Follow-up prompts within a turn
Workspace matching
Nimbalyst matches Claude Code's on-disk session directories to your current workspace. Workspaces with spaces, apostrophes, or accented characters in their path are handled correctly.
If the workspace-filtered scan finds nothing, the dialog falls back to showing all available Claude Code sessions and tells you the scope was broadened, so you can still import sessions that Claude Code stored under a different resolved path or sibling worktree.
Tips
Import is idempotent. Running it again on a session that already matches Nimbalyst's copy is a no-op (it shows up under In Sync).
"Has Updates" means Claude Code added more turns to a session since you last imported it. Re-checking and re-importing brings the new turns over.
Import works with sessions from Claude Code 2.1.x and later.
