Claude Code Plugin
Quick start
/plugin marketplace add empathic/toolpath
/plugin install path@toolpath
/path:query — ask your session history anything
Your session history is sitting on your disk, but all the insights are
obfuscated behind an undocumented format that constantly churns and was
never meant to be read. /path:query ingests your sessions into the
stable Toolpath format, and plain-English questions become
jq filters over the cache: computed, repeatable answers for a few
kilobytes of context, whatever harness they came from.
/path:query what did i work on last week?
Most of last week went to the payments service: migrating off the legacy webhook handler (Tue–Thu, 640 steps) and two short sessions chasing a race in the retry queue. Monday was the docs-site redesign; Thursday afternoon a one-off backfill script. No recorded activity Friday or over the weekend.
/path:query which sessions cost me the most tokens this month?
The heaviest was Wednesday's session on the import-pipeline bug: roughly 8.4M tokens — 7.9M of it cache reads, 61k generated output. Worth knowing: the top two sessions are segments of the same conversation; together they're nearly half the month's total.
/path:query compare my claude and codex usage this month
Claude Code carried most of the volume: 9.2M output tokens across 31 sessions, against Codex's 480k across 7. Codex runs shorter sessions — a median of 41 steps to Claude's 220 — and spends about 4% of its output on reasoning. Claude doesn't itemize thinking tokens, so its reasoning share isn't measurable.
/path:query what parts of my workflow were inefficient this month?
Two things dominate. About a fifth of the month's steps were later rewound or replaced, concentrated in three sessions that each had to be substantially redone. And marathon sessions are where the tokens go: the five sessions over a thousand steps account for nearly half your context spend — a fresh session per sub-task would be the highest-leverage change. Tool failures barely register by comparison (2.3% of calls, mostly shell friction).
/path:share — publish a session as a link
Publishes the current session to Pathbase as a link anyone can open. Name another session in plain words ("the one about the flaky test") and it finds and shares that one instead.
/path:share
Shared this session: pathbase.dev/u/you/pathstash/webhook-migration
/path:share the session where we fixed the retry queue
Found it — Tuesday's session on the retry-queue race. Shared:
pathbase.dev/u/you/pathstash/retry-queue-race
/path:link-pr — attach the session to a pull request
Ship the why with the diff. Shares the session and appends the link to your pull request's description, so the review carries the conversation behind the change:
/path:link-pr
Shared — the session is at
pathbase.dev/u/you/pathstash/rate-limit-retry and PR #212's description
now links to it.
open a pr and link this chat
Opened PR #218 for this branch and linked the session in its
description: pathbase.dev/u/you/pathstash/request-coalescing
/path:resume — pick up a shared session anywhere
Sessions are portable. Point it at a Pathbase URL and it projects the
session into your project, ready to pick up with /resume — even if the
session started on another machine, or in a different harness entirely.
/path:resume pathbase.dev/u/mira/pathstash/retry-queue-race
Imported into this project. Run /resume 7c9e2b41 to pick up where Mira
left off.
Installation
Inside Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add empathic/toolpath
/plugin install path@toolpath
Or from your terminal:
claude plugin marketplace add empathic/toolpath
claude plugin install path@toolpath
The commands run on the path binary. On first use the plugin picks up a
path already on your PATH, or installs one from a GitHub release
(sha256-verified) to ~/.local/bin. Everything happens locally — sessions
are ingested and queried on your machine, and only /path:share and
/path:link-pr upload anything, anonymously or
signed in. The plugin is
open source,
and the same workflows are available from the CLI directly.
