Archive a Claude session

What it does

Be done with one of the owner's sessions on this box: it is archived, so it leaves their session list in the Claude app and on claude.ai, and its process on the box ends. They can still find it among archived sessions there. A sleeping session is woken for a moment first; one in the middle of a turn gets up to half a minute to finish it. Ask the owner before archiving a session they did not name as done.

What it needs to know

session

Its link or id from list_sessions, or its name.

box · optional

Which box: its name and account, "home.frank" or "jordan.northwind", or just "home" when only one of your boxes is called that. Omit it for your current box (switch_box changes it; list_boxes says which it is).

session_box · optional

The box this session runs on, if it runs on one of yours: its name, as the on-box instructions give it ("frankh90.hemlane"). With it, a call that names no box is checked against your current box.

Where it lands

On one of your boxes: the one named in box, or your default box when none is named. It removes something, so Claude confirms with you before calling it.
