Exporting Conversation

Synthesizes one or more raw session JSON files into structured documentation.

---

Args

--latest (default) | --session <filename> | --all

• --latest — synthesize the most recent session file in {resolved_storage}/sessions/
• --session <filename> — synthesize a specific session file by name
• --all — synthesize every session file independently; each gets its own output directory

---

Step 1 — Read config.json

Find config.json by checking both storage locations in order:

1. .code-wizard/config.json
2. .claude/code-wizard/config.json

Read resolved_storage from the config. If neither file exists, tell the user:

"No wizard storage found. Run /codebase-wizard-setup first."

---

Step 2 — Select Session File(s)

• --latest: list files in {resolved_storage}/sessions/, sort by name (ISO date prefix), take the most recent.
• --session <filename>: read {resolved_storage}/sessions/<filename> directly.
• --all: collect all .json files in {resolved_storage}/sessions/.

If no session files exist:

"No sessions found in {resolved_storage}/sessions/. Run /codebase-wizard to start a session first."

---

Step 3 — Read and Validate Session JSON

For each selected session file, read and parse the JSON. Expected schema:

{
  "version": 1,
  "session_id": "YYYY-MM-DD-{repo}",
  "repo": "...",
  "artifact": "...",
  "mode": "describe | explore | file",
  "created": "...",
  "turns": [
    {
      "ts": "...",
      "question": "...",
      "anchor": "...",
      "code_shown": "...",
      "explanation": "...",
      "connections": { "calls": [], "called_by": [] },
      "next_options": []
    }
  ]
}

If version field is missing or higher than 1, warn:

"Session file uses an unrecognized version. Attempting synthesis anyway — some fields may be missing."

---

Step 4 — Synthesize Output Documents

Output directory: {resolved_storage}/docs/{session_id}/

Create the directory if it does not exist.

SESSION-TRANSCRIPT.md (always — every mode)

Format each turn as:

## Q: {question}

*{ts}*

// {anchor}

{code_shown}

{explanation}

→ calls:     {connections.calls joined with newlines}
→ called by: {connections.called_by joined with newlines}

**Next options explored:**
1. {next_options[0]}
2. {next_options[1]}
3. {next_options[2]}

---

Omit connections block if both calls and called_by are empty. Omit next options block if next_options is empty.

CODEBASE.md (describe mode: mode == "describe")

# Codebase: {repo}

## Overview
## Entry Points
## Auth
## Data Layer
## Key Concepts
## Traced Call Chains
## Constraints
## Open Questions

Each section extracted from the relevant turns.

TOUR.md (explore mode: mode == "explore")

# Tour: {repo}

## What the App Does
## Entry Point
## Auth Flow
## Data Flow
## Where to Start
## Q&A Detours

FILE-NOTES.md (file mode: mode == "file")

One section per turn, with anchor and code block preserved.

---

Step 5 — Report Completion

"Export complete. Files written to {resolved_storage}/docs/{session_id}/:"

• SESSION-TRANSCRIPT.md
• CODEBASE.md (if describe mode)
• TOUR.md (if explore mode)
• FILE-NOTES.md (if file mode)
