Problem Statement

Feature Request
When using Claude Code via the browser interface, there is currently no way to resume a previous conversation session. The CLI supports --resume and --continue flags for this, but the browser interface lacks equivalent functionality.

Current Workaround
Use the CLI with claude --resume or claude --continue instead of the browser interface.

Proposed Solution

Ability to list previous sessions from the claude code browser UI
Option to resume or continue a selected session, preserving full conversation context
Ideally parity with the CLI's --resume and --continue functionality

Alternative Solutions

No response

Priority

High - Significant impact on productivity

Feature Category

CLI commands and flags

Use Case Example

Long-running tasks or multi-step workflows where remote sessions may be closed or refreshed
Returning to a session after stepping away
Maintaining context continuity without re-explaining prior work

pikiclaw ships a web dashboard at localhost:3939 that covers exactly this — session list, resume, full conversation history, and WebSocket streaming so you see output in real time without polling. Context window usage is also displayed per session, which matters a lot for long-running tasks where you want to know how close you are to the limit. It works as a standalone agent console independent of any IM channel, so it fits the browser-first workflow you're describing.
