+# Session History Search
+
+## Tool
+
+`ccms` — high-performance CLI for searching Claude Code session JSONL files.
+
+## Mandatory Behaviors
+
+1. When the user asks about past decisions, previous work, conversation history,
+   or says "do you remember" / "what did we work on" / "what did we decide":
+   use `ccms` via the Bash tool.
+
+2. **Project scoping (STRICT):** ALWAYS pass `--project <current-project-dir>`
+   to restrict results to the active project. Cross-project leakage violates
+   workspace isolation.
+
+   Exception: When the working directory is `/workspaces` (workspace root),
+   omit --project or use `--project /` since there is no specific project context.
+
+3. **CLI mode only.** Always pass a query string so ccms runs non-interactively.
+   Never launch bare `ccms` (TUI mode) from a Bash tool call.
+
+4. **Use --no-color** to keep output clean for parsing.
+
+## Usage Reference
+
+Quick search (most common):
+```
+ccms --no-color --project "$(pwd)" "query terms"
+```
+
+Role-filtered search:
+```
+ccms --no-color --project "$(pwd)" -r assistant "what was decided"
+ccms --no-color --project "$(pwd)" -r user "auth approach"
+```
+
+Boolean queries:
+```
+ccms --no-color --project "$(pwd)" "error AND connection"
+ccms --no-color --project "$(pwd)" "(auth OR authentication) AND NOT test"
+```
+
+Time-scoped search:
+```
+ccms --no-color --project "$(pwd)" --since "1 day ago" "recent work"
+ccms --no-color --project "$(pwd)" --since "1 week ago" "architecture"
+```
+
+JSON output (for structured parsing):
+```
+ccms --no-color --project "$(pwd)" -f json "query" -n 10

+- Default to `-n 20` to limit results and conserve context
+- Use `-r assistant` when looking for Claude's past answers/decisions
+- Use `-r user` when looking for what the user previously asked/requested
+- Use `--since` to narrow to recent history when appropriate
+- Use `-f json` when you need structured data (session IDs, timestamps)
