ak sessions list
List Claude Code sessions for registered projects
Returns a finite snapshot of Claude Code session JSONL files for registered AgentKit projects.
Who it's for: Reviewers, scripts, and AI agents that need desktop Sessions evidence without opening the UI.
When to use it: Use before sharing, redacting, or inspecting local Claude Code session transcripts.
What changes on disk: Read-only. Reads ~/.agentkit/projects.json and ~/.claude/projects//.jsonl; AGENTKIT_HOME and AGENTKIT_CLAUDE_HOME override those roots.
