Chat History

View and browse your Claude Code conversation history within TeamIDE

Overview

The Chat History feature syncs and displays conversations from Claude Code directly in TeamIDE. This lets you:

• Browse past Claude Code sessions inside the repository

• Search conversations by topic (In development)

• Review messages, tool calls, and assistant responses

• Quickly reference previous work without leaving the editor

Usage

Accessing Chat History

1. Open the Code module for any repository

2. Click the right drawer toggle (or it opens automatically)

3. Select the HISTORY tab

Browsing Conversations

Conversations are grouped by date:

• Today - Conversations from today

• Yesterday - Conversations from yesterday

• This Week - Conversations from the past 7 days

• This Month - Conversations from the past 30 days

• Older - All older conversations

Click any conversation to view its messages.

Searching

Use the search bar to filter conversations by:

• Conversation summary/title

• Git branch name

Viewing Messages

When viewing a conversation:

• You messages show in blue (your prompts)

• Claude messages show in purple (assistant responses)

• Tool calls display as orange badges (Read, Edit, Bash, etc.)

• Long messages are collapsed with a “Read more” button

Click Load older messages at the top to load more history (messages load 50 at a time for performance).

Syncing

Click the sync button to manually refresh conversations from Claude Code’s storage. Conversations also sync automatically when you open a repository.

Storage

Source Location

Claude Code stores conversations in: ~/.claude/projects/{encoded-repo-path}/

Each conversation is a .jsonl file containing messages, tool calls, and metadata.

Local Database

TeamIDE syncs these into a local SQLite database: {repo}/.teamide/chatHistory/conversations.db

This database contains:

• conversations table - Conversation metadata (summary, dates, message count)

• messages table - Individual messages with content, tool calls, timestamps

The .teamide/chatHistory/ folder is gitignored by default to keep conversation history local.
