Session Log Export

Export the current Claude Code session to standard LLM conversation JSON and a human-readable TXT transcript.

Steps

1. Identify current session

Run the following to find the session file:

project_dir="$HOME/.claude/projects/$(pwd | sed 's|/|-|g')"
current_session=$(ls -t "$project_dir"/*.jsonl 2>/dev/null | head -1)
session_id=$(basename "$current_session" .jsonl)
echo "Session: $session_id"
echo "Source: $current_session"

2. Determine output directory

Use the output directory specified in the user's prompt. If none was specified, default to docs/sessionlogs/ relative to the current working directory.

3. Run the export script

"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/export-session.sh" "$current_session" "<output-dir>" "$session_id"

The script produces two files:

<output-dir>/claude-<session-id>.json — standard LLM conversation JSON (array of {role, content} objects)
<output-dir>/claude-<session-id>.txt — human-readable transcript with [user]/[assistant] prefixes

4. Report results

Show the user:

The two output file paths
Number of messages exported
File sizes

Output Format

JSON — Array of message objects following the standard LLM conversation format:

[
  {"role": "user", "content": "Hello"},
  {"role": "assistant", "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "Hi there!"}]}
]

TXT — Human-readable transcript:

Session: <session-id>

[user] Hello

[assistant] Hi there!
