# Cross-Session Memory & Continuity
## Why This is Copilot-Exclusive
Copilot CLI maintains a **cross-session history store** — a read-only SQLite database
(`session_store`) that contains conversation history, file references, and full-text search
across all your past sessions. Combined with `/resume` to continue previous sessions and
session artifacts stored in `files/`, this creates persistent memory across your development
workflow. Claude Code can also continue and resume sessions; this skill covers Copilot's own session history, artifacts, and Chronicle.
## When to Use
- Resuming work on a multi-day task
- Searching past sessions for how you solved a similar problem before
